Time is ticking… but is your life counting?
Every second moves, whether you move or not.
The clock doesn’t pause for fear.
It doesn’t slow down for procrastination.
It doesn’t rewind for regret.
Time is ticking, but that’s not the real question.
The real question is…
Are you just existing, or are you becoming?
A busy life is not the same as a meaningful life.
A loud life is not the same as a purposeful life.
And a long life is not the same as a significant life.
Your calendar may be full, but is your heart fulfilled?
Your days may be passing, but are you progressing?
Time will count the years.
Only you can make the years count.
So to you young ones…
Build intentionally.
Love boldly.
Forgive quickly.
Start the thing.
Take the risk.
Become who you were meant to be.
Because in the end,
it won’t matter how fast time moved, it will matter what you did while it was moving.
Time is ticking.
Stop existing, start becoming…
