It's black when it's not in use, it's red when it's in use, and it's grey when you're done using it. What can this be??

This riddle about the changing colors through the "life cycle" of something simple—a matchstick, for example—reflects a powerful analogy for our time and energy in life. Just like the match, we have a finite time to burn bright, often represented in visuals like the 4000 weeks poster, which reminds us of the average human lifespan in weeks. The poster's grid structure can be a wake-up call: every square is a week of life that can’t be regained once it’s "greyed out." Reflecting on tools or symbols like these can bring fresh motivation to make each week count, just as each matchstick’s spark is unique yet limited.
