Have you ever watched the video “It All Goes Back in the Box”? It’s a short but powerful message that reminds us of something we all tend to forget in the rush of life: no matter how much we accumulate—money, possessions, trophies, titles—none of it comes with us in the end.
The video compares life to a game of Monopoly. You can buy all the properties, stack up the cash, and dominate the board—but when the game is over, it all goes back in the box. And life is no different. At the end of our time here, we leave behind the stuff and take with us only what truly mattered: our character, our relationships, and how we lived.
It’s a sobering reminder to refocus on what’s eternal, not just what’s urgent. Chase meaning, not just material. Invest in people, not just portfolios. Enjoy the blessings you have today—and remember that the legacy you leave will matter far more than the things you leave behind.
So next time you’re caught up in the race to “win,” ask yourself: What am I really playing for?
