What will you do with your life, when money is no longer THE primary factor?
“Time is the single most precious commodity in the universe. ”
True wealth is having full control over your time. Time is what we all have a limited amount of, and are forced to spend continuously. Time is what we are all running out of. Time is the only true limited resource.
So what should you do with your time? What is it you are going to spend your days doing? Will you wake up in the morning and answer a YES to what it is you truly want to be doing every day? What would you do every single day of your life if money wasn’t an issue you had to constantly worry about? This is Full Power Finance. Answering these questions deliberately is what financial control is about. There are many recipes, and examples of success out there, but no matter how much you know, you must implement your wisdom, and that is ultimately only up to you. No matter what recipe you choose to follow, the structural context of finance will always stay the same, review it regularly.
Decoupling money from time is simply one of the best actions one can take in order to master their financial well-being. Once you reach a point of Full Power Finance, your time is yours, you do not owe it to anyone, besides yourself and the rest of the world ;) you get to decide how to allocate your time wisely, and you do so by knowing and controlling your finances, so they doesn’t end-up controlling your time.
“What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?”

“Time is like a river that carries us forward into encounters with reality that require us to make decisions. We can’t stop our movement down this river and we can’t avoid those encounters. We can only approach them in the best possible way.
”
“You must vie with time’s swiftness in the speed of using it, and, as from a torrent that rushes by and will not always flow, you must drink quickly.”
“If you love life, don’t waist time, for time is what life is made up of. ”
“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days”
“You get to decide where your time goes. You can either spend it moving forward, or you can spend it putting out fires. You decide. And if you don’t decide, others will decide for you.”
“Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.”
