Time is ultimate measure of personal wealth

- FRANKLIN O'KANU

WE wake up to an alarm clock that dictates our schedule. We work for a paycheck that barely covers rising costs.

We scroll endlessly through distractions designed to keep us numb. And at the end of the day, we collapse into bed - only to do it all over again tomorrow.

Can we genuinely escape this system?

This question is one I've thought about for a while, and I'm pleased to see that the answer is quite simple, but it does involve a series of steps.

The first step involves identifying our most incredible resource - time.

Time is our greatest resource. With time, we can do anything. Time is the ultimate measure of wealth. Yet most people feel like they never have enough of it.

The truth is, there is a system that takes time away from us. This system is designed as an invisible prison where every hour of your day is accounted for, leaving just enough space for us to believe we're free.

But what exactly is this system? To understand it, we must see it for what it is - a multi-headed beast designed to control every aspect of our existence.
