There is a inner desire in our hearts to achieve. Some seek to achieve success or wealth or power or recognition, all of which is like dust in the graves of the deceased. There is only one thing worth striving for that is eternal life of glory and peace. God places that desire in our hearts. But Satan sows the weeds that look like wheat but is not. Instead of  embracing the gift of God, many times we allow the web of fool's gold to entice us on the wrong journey. But God in his goodness gives us many grace moments to recognize the difference and to choose what will truly make us happy. One road leads to destruction. The other to eternal fulfillment. It is our choice.
