A wise person controls his desires and strive for the Hereafter

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "The clever person is the one who lowers himself and strives toward what is after death. And the weak- ˹minded˺ person is the one who follows his desires and holds hope in Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ۔»
