"Let no seductive good fortune lead us astray. He is a foolish traveler who sees pleasant meadows on his journey and forgets where he is going." St. Gregory the Great

God reminds us of our destiny: not this life but life eternal with him. But how easy it is to get distracted and lose focus as we traverse through time and space with so much impacting us. It is easy to forget who we are and whose we are. We are called to be like St. Paul. He saw all as rubbish. He had only one goal: to reach the prize on high, life with God. He knew he did not deserve it, but he desired it. He knew it was a pure gift from God, but a gift willed for us before time began. Not to reach this goal would be failure beyond understanding. To choose something less would be the ultimate act of foolishness.
