BUILT FOR ETERNITY

We were created to live. We were never meant to die. Eternity is planted in the heart of every human, and that’s why death feels wrong. That’s why we mourn and resist—it’s because we were built for eternity. But here’s the raw truth: If you want to live a long life, you’ve got to fight like hell for it. You’ve heard the saying before, “If you want to make it, you’ve got to take it.” So let me ask you—are you truly taking advantage of everything that’s available to you? Clean water, healthy food, proven medicine—these aren’t just conveniences; they’re opportunities to live well. I remember a man in his mid-60s, standing in line at the pharmacy. His boots were worn, his hands calloused, his face weathered by years of hard work. He wasn’t there for painkillers or comfort—he was there for strategy. Blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and his wife’s prescriptions too. No flinching. No pride. Just purpose. He looked the pharmacist dead in the eye and said, “We’ve got work to do. Grandkids to raise. I’m not going out early.” That hit me hard. No drama. No complaining. Just quiet determination. This man wasn’t trying to be tough—he was trying to be present. For his wife, his family, his legacy. It made me realize something important: It’s not weakness to take medication. It’s not soft to get your labs checked. It’s not fear to fight for your life. It’s war. It’s wisdom. It’s legacy. The people who live to 90 or 100+ didn’t just get lucky. They took responsibility. They made sacrifices. They didn’t float through life—they dug deep, they got serious, and they made the necessary changes to stay alive. They didn’t let pride or procrastination rob them of the future they were building. They took the pills. They drank the water. They trained their bodies. They didn’t whine about what they couldn’t control—they warred for their lives. So, whatever your situation is, take the medication. Fix your sleep. Exercise. Change your plate. Live like you were meant to last, because you were built for eternity.
