In chasing after worldly things, we're literally missing the very essence of our existence, God. Indeed, we ought to live the life God gave us, but leaving Him out of every part means we're chasing after things that ultimately become idols. Our life is meaningful and fulfilling when we are intentional about spending most of our time engaging His Holy Spirit who dwells in all who determine to love and serve Him. He is yearning to have fellowship with us and should be the first person we think about and talk to daily. Let's be deliberate about making God our utmost priority. God bless you!

For those who’d rather live according to the dictates of the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are responsive to the Holy Spirit and are by Him led, “set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit” 
 (Romans 8:5 AMPC)

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right — the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
Matthew 6:33 AMP
