A question that popped inside my head: is success from God? Is it really a blessing?

I was just wondering if the success that you have gained took away your time to be with God, do you think that is from Him? Do you think you benefitted more with time spent away from God than the time spent with Him? It is said that God should come first and everything shall be added unto you. Does success gain God’s approval of you living with Him in heaven in the afterlife? Did He ask you to be successful here on earth to have access to eternal life? Does beating your butt off to be promoted or to win in a competition gives you a ticket to have a seat beside God?

Think…Then think again… Are you really gaining? Or you are actually loosing?

Remember, your time on this world is just a grain of sand on the beach compared to the eternity after this life which is comparable to all the sands of the all the beaches in the universe. So why waste your time building mansions here when you can now start building your home in heaven by staying near to God as you both create its blueprint and structure. What’s the use of gaining the whole world if you’ll lose your soul in the process? Think about it..
