We all have lots off stuff in this life, physical things as well as accomplishments we've worked towards with school, work, etc. Paul says that all he had accomplished in his former life was rubbish compared to Christ 3:8. We need to have that same attitude where worldly things aren't what is important to us.
While we should definitely thank God for our blessings, we need to realize that everything we do here is temporary. Our focus should be on the eternal. Reading this brings a lot of perspective.
Things I'm concerned about don't seem so important when I weigh them against Christ. We need to work hard at everything we do in this life, but can't lose site of the ultimate goal of heaven.
