Heaven isn’t an escape hatch. It’s a reason to live this life like it matters.

Treating heaven as the exit makes the present something to endure until it is over. The point runs the other way. If what happens here carries forward, then the ordinary parts of this week, how you work and who you look after, are not filler. Hope about later is supposed to make now more serious, not less.

Take one thing you have been treating as pointless and do it as though it counted. Your job, a relationship, a subject you have written off. You do not need to know how it fits to do it properly.
