We are all living on borrowed time.
Every morning we wake up thinking we have another day, another year, another opportunity. We make plans for tomorrow, next month, next year. We chase money, success, recognition, relationships, and the approval of people around us. We become angry over small things, hold grudges for years, and sometimes forget that none of us knows exactly how much time we have left.
One day, everything we are holding onto will be left behind.
The clothes we wear, the money we save, the houses we build, the titles we carry, the arguments we had, and even the people who once knew our names will eventually become memories. In the end, every human being faces the same reality: we came into this world with nothing, and one day we will leave it with nothing.
That is not meant to frighten us. It is meant to wake us up.
Don't wait until you lose someone to realize how precious they were. Don't wait until your health disappears to appreciate your body. Don't wait until life becomes difficult to become grateful for the simple things you have today.
Call your parents. Hug the people you love. Forgive when you can. Say "I'm sorry" when you are wrong. Help someone without expecting anything in return. Be kind to people whose battles you cannot see.
Because life is short, and none of us is promised tomorrow.
The most important question is not how much money you accumulated, how many people followed you, or how successful you appeared to the world.
The real question is: What kind of person were you while you were here?
When your time comes, may your life have been filled with love instead of hatred, forgiveness instead of revenge, kindness instead of cruelty, and purpose instead of regret.
Every soul will eventually taste death and return to God.
So while you are still here, live with purpose, love deeply, forgive freely, and make your time count.
