these things aren’t who you are. They are what you do. They are who you do it with. They are what you have. But they are NOT who you are.

These things are not necessarily evil on their own. There is nothing wrong with having a career you enjoy and are well paid for. There is nothing wrong with having great relationships – in fact, God created us as relational beings who log for community. There is nothing wrong with planning for your future or having nice things. The problem comes when we place our faith in these things and find our identity in them.
