Moments that matter: Redeeming time to build a legacy

Time. It's the one thing we all have in common— and the one thing we can never get back once it's gone, whether rich or poor, young or old, time remains life's great equalizer. It doesn't slow down for our struggles, nor does it speed up for our success.

- Marcus Cleavon Smith

It simply moves—steady, silent, unstoppable. The question isn't how much time we have; the real question is what we're doing with the time we've been given.

Every second of our existence carries weight. Every hour presents a choice. And yet, how often do we waste precious moments worrying about things we cannot control, arguing about things that do not matter, or holding grudges that only rob us of peace? Time, when misused, becomes the thief of destiny. But when respected and redeemed, it becomes the seed of greatness.

We live in a world where distractions are constant and priorities are easily misplaced. We chase after validation, attention, and possessions, yet we forget the truth—none of those things can buy more time. Our smartphones have clocks, but do our hearts truly keep time with purpose? Time is life measured in moments, and every day we spend it, whether wisely or carelessly.
