Picture this: you’re on a stroll through the most valuable real estate in the world, but it’s not what you’re thinking. There are no towering skyscrapers, no bustling streets lined with high-end stores, and definitely no beachfront villas with views that stretch into the horizon. No, this place is quieter, more solemn — it’s the local cemetery. Now, before you accuse me of morbid tendencies, let me share a profound thought from the late Myles Munroe that hit me like a well-timed epiphany. He said, “The most valuable land in the world is the graveyard, because in it are buried all of the unwritten novels, unexecuted ideas, unreconciled relationships, dreams not pursued.” Suddenly, every headstone seemed like a bookmark for stories never told, inventions never created, apologies never uttered, and dreams that never took flight.

So there I was, amidst the silence, making a pact with myself. I resolved that I wouldn’t be another unfulfilled promise buried six feet under. No. I decided that I was going to squeeze every drop of potential out of myself, ensuring that by the time I played hide-and-seek with a coffin, I’d leave behind an empty shell, my best workout in the world, not decaying in the dark.
