The desire to compare and get ahead is built into our human nature. Whenever we get together with highschool and college friends, there's a tendency to compare how everyone's doing in terms of finances, possessions, education, and influence. But these are earth-bound treasures. In eternity, we will no longer be doctors, professors, lawyers or engineers. Nor will be able to bring our sports cars, houses, stocks and bonds.
Jesus teaches us that heavenly treasure is much more valuable and will last forever (Matthew 6:20)! If we become His disciples and live for Him, that will be our investment which will bring us eternal dividends!- From Ferdie of Living Water.
For me, It is not a problem to aim to achieve something you've been wanting to, the Lord provides and supports and loves us much..all your plans just need to include Jesus and consider yourself being His disciple whatever your plans maybe. He must still be our masters. 'HE' must be bigger than 'you' and your desire.
