There comes a time when the laughter slows, the eyes dim, and even dreams grow quiet. Not because life has lost its beauty, but because we have postponed too much of it.
We wait for the perfect time to start.
We delay the call to build, to forgive, to create.
We forget that even strength fadeThe Teacher in Ecclesiastes wasn’t writing a sad farewell — he was giving us an awakening.
He was saying: “Live before the light fades.”
Because one day, the “keepers of the house” — your hands — will tremble.
The “windows” — your eyes — will grow dim.
The “grinders” — your strength — will cease.
And what you once took for granted will become sacred in hindsight.
“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come…”
— Ecclesiastes 12:1
So build now.
Write now.
Love now.
Forgive now.
Start the business, publish the book, teach the lesson, or plant the seed — before the silver cord breaks and the golden bowl is shattered.
This isn’t a message about death.
It’s a message about urgency with purpose.
Every morning you wake up with breath is proof that eternity still trusts you with time.
The world doesn’t need more cautious dreamers — it needs awakened creators.
People who live like every heartbeat is borrowed light.
People who remember their Source before the shadows lengthen.
So — before the lights grow dim, make your life the lamp that never goes out.
Because dust returns to the ground, but purpose — it rises.
Reflect
What dream have you delayed because you thought you had time?
Today, light it again.
