I just want to put this out there. Granted that we are supposed to do things so that our neshamos can (finally) rest in shomayim where they belong with all their tasks completed, we are at the same time given the task of living in/with this world. This means that we are supposed to have some level of enjoyment and pleasure from this world. Obviously this does not mean we take self centered pleasure, rather, we take pleasure that will allow us to accomplish that which we need to get accomplished. For example, we need to eat, drink, and sleep. We could technically eat dry bread, drink water, and sleep on an uncomfortable hay mattress. Hey, we are eating, drinking, and sleeping right? No. Unless we are at the level where we need less physical pleasure to live that is not what is right. What the average person nowadays needs to do is have three proper meals a day and sleep on mattresses that help with a good night’s refreshing sleep. This in and of itself is serving Hashem because we are taking care of ourselves for that exact purpose.
Hope this helps
