"We make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it." - 2 Corinthians 5:9-3 If you focus on pleasing yourself, it won't satisfy you. God is the center of the world, and everything should circle around him. You can make plans, but there's a chance God will change it into what's best for him. Knowing that you belong to God helps you take your mind off your goals. Pleasing God won't be hard, as the work he gives is easy, and will help give rest for your soul.
