Discussion Description:

Becoming a Christian has led me to realize how empty worldly accomplishments are. Like they all fade. And I don’t know if it’s just me but even after earning awards and stuff it only makes me more sad even during the process because it’s just so worldly and takes me away from God’s presence. And it doesn’t matter how big the accomplishment is but if it takes me away from God, it’s not worth it and I just end up feeling sad and kinda guilty for “leaving” Him afterwards even for a while. Is this normal? And how can someone stay in God even in these types of environments that may lead to pride? Should we be suppressing these feelings? And is it possible to be in God’s presence even in these types of moments when the world celebrates you?
