THE CLOCK IS TICKING
"People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things, but on major matters like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice."-Charles Bukowski
Time is an interesting concept. Throughout history, it has baffled the greatest minds of our species. Do we have free will? Do we live in a deterministic universe? Is time travel possible? It is enough to trouble the bravest among us. But all that you need to realize about time is the simple fact that it inevitably runs out.
No matter how hard you try, how good you live, or how much money you make, you will always be limited by the finite amount of time that you have.
This hard truth opens the door to another. We have infinite potential but a finite time to unleash this potential. This fact alone should be enough to set a fire within the multitude to push past distractions and focus on what is important. Few do. As a result, most people spend their time poorly. They exchange time for money but never realize that the time is far more valuable than any amount of money. People waste this resource, remaining mired in uncertainty as they wait for a reprieve that may never come.
