And the one that buries in, he says, you're evil and wicked for doing so, for wasting your talent. And the other two, he says, now I'm going to double what you even have and give you even more beyond that. And so I think about Michelangelo in the very same way. Michelangelo had a talent and he also had a certain level of character and amazing work ethic.

When I was recently in Italy, I was doing a, I took a tour on Michelangelo because I just love his work so much. And they had said he lived to be 88 years old. which during that time, the average lifespan, I wanted to say was like upper 40s. So he almost doubled the lifespan of a lot of people. And part of it, I believe, was because he had so much purpose.

He was doing something really meaningful, really significant because it was divinely inspired. And so to sum up, I want to say the life of Michelangelo, there is a story of him after he had just finished painting the Sistine Chapel. And he's showing somebody his work

And before they revealed it to the public and he's showing somebody and somebody said, Michelangelo, why did you spend so much time painting this little corner that literally nobody's going to see? And his answer was because God will see. And to me, that was so moving of thinking about our lives in that way that, you know what, somebody might not see it, but God will see it.

And that's a very eternal mindset. If somebody wants to be successful, we see this in the psychology research that the longer somebody thinks out, okay, the more successful they are.

Well, Michelangelo goes beyond that as he was thinking eternally, and he was even more successful. It reminds me of a C.S. Lewis quote, and he says, the people that do the most in this life are the very people that think most about the next life.
