Luke 9v23 “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

Jesus lays it down hard in verse 25. Our human nature is to work towards treasures and goals found in this world to supply our fleshful desires. But what truly matters is the treasure we build through the Spirit which lasts forever in the kingdom of heaven. Becoming successful, wealthy, or whatever it is the world keeps telling us to be ends with our death but the beautiful gift from sharing and being the gospel lasts for all eternity.
