If Your Success Can’t Buy You Time Freedom, You’ve Missed The Point
We only respect time in retrospect: don’t make that mistake
Money is not the goal.
Time freedom is the ultimate life objective.
“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life, ” says Henry David Thoreau.
People think they want money — a lot of it. What they truly want is the time freedom to do what they really want.
If you could trade your young life for a 90 years old but rich person’s life, you would probably not do it.
The old but rich person has money but doesn’t have time to spend it on the things that makes life meaningful.
You have all the time to try to make it in life.
But if you miss the point of success, you will be chasing an illusion only to realise that you don’t have time freedom for a meaningful life.
Whilst you have time right now, pursue things that bring out the best in you.
Invest in experiences that make life worth it.
If you rent time to make a living, do everything you can in the short term to buy back time soon.
