"You're making him lose his focus!"

While the title may be a quote from "Monsters Inc.", the matter is a serious one.  It is so easy for us, living in an economically prosperous era and land, to get swept up in the distractions and trivialities of financial success.  It is very easy to justify, at least to ourselves, that being rich and comfortable is a good thing to pursue.
But it's not.
The only thing that really matters is holiness.  We have a very short life, here on earth, in which to learn to love God and love neighbor and form our souls after the image of Jesus Christ.  If we are spending all of our time and energy on getting rich and comfortable, we have lost our focus.
Our focus should be holiness not cash.  Even worse, many of us are distracted simply by the inane.  We throw away hours a day with stupid entertainment.  We accomplish nothing for the kingdom of God or our own holiness, simply because someone in Hollywood is doing one thing or the next.
What can we do, to daily remind ourselves not to lose our focus?
