Matthew 19: What must I do?

In Matthew 19 the Rich man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. First Jesus says there is only one who is good, and that is God. But He proceeds to say, follow the commandments.

The rich man says he has kept all of them and is confused at what he still lacks. and Jesus replies, sell everything and give to the poor.

Jesus then goes to say it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom and clarifies that this is impossible with man.

So essentially Jesus is saying, there is nothing YOU can do to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I have spent a lot of my time as a Christian worrying about how i'm living, trying to please God. But the problem with this is that my focus is on myself and what I am doing. I am so focused on myself that im not actually looking where I am going. Im so focused on protecting my worth that I have lost myself. When im in a social situation, im in my own head trying to think about what to talk about, and again the focus is on myself, so I end up having nothing to talk about.

I believe true faith is required to walk in this world without worrying about what you look like. It's so interesting because for my whole life I have been focused on myself, and instead of being able to see my own flaws, I only see the flaws in others. I can't see my own wounds, and I see other people's wounds as their flaws.

When I trust that my worth is unchangeable in Christ, I can be present with others without being worried about what I look like. It's still really hard, but im finally learning to let my light shine by taking the focus off of myself.

Christians read about the Rich Man not giving up his wealth to follow Jesus, and shake their heads at the poor soul - - while going out to store up treasures on Earth themselves.
Classic Cognitive Dissonance at it finest.

MATT. 19:29.
And every one that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name's sake, shall 'receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit Everlasting Life'.
it ALWAYS get down to the 'MAJOR COMMANDMENT, '
MARK 12:29.
And Jesus answered him, 'The first of all the Commandments' is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is One Lord:
30.
And you shall LOVE The Lord thy God with ALL your heart, and with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind,
and with ALL your strength: this is 'The First Commandment'.
if you put 'anything' before our God, then you better GET RID of IT...

Christians still struggle with what Eternal Life is.
Maybe if they translated Zoe Aionious properly, they might have a clue, for instance John 3:16.

There is such mass deception on Earth about what attaining Eternal Life is.
Continue to ignore and rationalize Romans 8:13.

You forgot to quote the next verse, where Peter said

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
