Life is time. Regardless of how long you're going to live, time is the only thing that separates each person from death. Time is currency. Regardless of your position in the world, each person spends 24 hours per day; no more, no less. In this respect we're all on an even playing field. Today's world is overwhelmingly complex, but time couldn't be more simple. All we have to do in this vast, complex world is find things we love and figure out how to spend our time wisely on these worthwhile things. And it's important to always have a series of contingency plans, so if one thing doesn't work out you always have worthwhile back-up things to do instead. If we can avoid unworthy distractions and stay focused with our eyes on the prize, life becomes simple, goal-oriented, and fun.
