John Candy
Focalization – Focus our mind on one thing and blurs out everything else. This is going to be way better than it actually is.
Luke 12:15
Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
Greed – a selfish and excessive desire for more of something than is needed.
Luke 12:20

Luke 12:25-26
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Worry can’t change tomorrow, but it can ruin today.
Luke 12:29-31
29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
Seek – ζητέω – look for, desire
What do you set your heart on, run after, seek?
Do you trust in the goodness of the King?
