Life Lesson: The Stage of Time and the Fading Song

Updated: Feb 11


 

Time Crier Series Part 1


Life is like a grand opera, performed on the stage of time. Each person, like an opera singer, steps into the spotlight at their appointed moment. As they approach, their footsteps grow louder, announcing their arrival to the audience. Their voice, powerful and full of purpose, fills the theater, capturing hearts and commanding attention. 

 

At the center of the stage, the singer’s presence is undeniable. It is their moment to shine, to sing their unique aria and leave a mark on the unfolding story. But no matter how mesmerizing their performance, the role is never permanent. The applause fades, the spotlight dims, and the once-loud footsteps begin to retreat into the distance. Eventually, they disappear altogether, leaving only echoes in the memories of those who listened. 


This cycle of arrival, performance, and departure teaches us a profound truth: our time on life’s stage is limited. The power of time ensures that no one stays at the center forever. Just as others made way for us, we too will step aside for new voices, new stories, and new songs.


The lesson is this: make your time on stage meaningful. Sing with all your heart, but never let the applause define your worth. Embrace humility, for the stage belongs to no one forever. Understand that your voice is part of a greater symphony, and the beauty of the opera lies in its ever-changing harmony.


When the curtain falls, and the spotlight moves on, let your life’s song continue to inspire. Let it remind others to approach the stage with courage, to sing with authenticity, and to embrace the harmony of life’s ever-changing symphony. 


And when your footsteps begin to fade, leave behind not just a memory of a loud arrival, but the quiet legacy of a life well-lived—a song that continues to inspire even after the curtain falls. 


Because in the end, it’s not how loud your footsteps were or how long the applause lasted. It’s how your song enriched the opera of humanity —a melody that echoes beyond time, resonating in hearts long after the performance has ended. 


And the question everyone needs to respond to in life is: Your stage awaits.  What will your song say?


Based on the book, "Time Crier: The Drift of Life."
