The Illusion of Time

The clock stops for all of us.

"The graveyards are full of men who thought they had more time." 

— Anonymous

They told themselves they had more time.

More time to start. More time to change. More time to chase the life they wanted.

So they waited. They hesitated. They put it off, until there was nothing left to wait for.

The world is filled with men who thought they had more time. Men who believed they could move tomorrow; until tomorrow never came. They had dreams, plans, and ambitions, but they traded them for comfort, for excuses, for the false promise of later.

But time is ruthless. It doesn’t pause. It doesn’t negotiate. It moves forward, whether you do or not. And one day, you wake up realizing that all the chances you thought you had are gone.

I refuse to be one of those men. I don’t wait. I don’t hesitate. Every day is a battle against time, and I intend to win.

Because in the end, the clock stops for all of us.

The only question is — Did you move before it did?
