The only 2 assets you have are time and yourself – your body and your mind. You have no control over the passage of time. You can make back money lost, if you have time that your body and mind can use. But you cannot buy back lost time with all the money you will ever make. Remove your primary focus from money and invest your time well – invest in yourself. As time passes without control, develop control over yourself. Even if all your financial capital is taken away, no one can take away your human capital and the investment return you have made on that. If you do not invest your time well in yourself, you will make huge personal losses and be bankrupt within yourself, with a lot of money in the bank.

With rights come responsibilities. With responsibility ought to come rights. With great power comes great responsibility, they say. And so, with great responsibility ought to come great power. But without the right that ought to come with that responsibility, you have an unfair responsibility and, therefore, you have no real power. So, understand where you stand with rights and responsibilities before you think too much about power.

We think we live in free democracies but our meals speak otherwise. Without realizing it many of us have become remote slaves of old colonial powers and new imperialist ones. We will reach out for foods that are harmful to us, often torturous for animals and the planet, subtly programmed into our brains through the media and so-called advanced society – our minds are now controlled by animal agriculturists and corporations from BigFood to BigPharma. As a result, we implicitly turn away from the nutritious food of our ancestors that leads to a sustainable planet and to whom we only need to be grateful to hardworking farmers. Think deep and free yourself!

You shape your internal culture actively through conversations with yourself. Any “non-negotiable” you set is going to be a tough debate between you and yourself especially when you come to the boundary between complying and not complying with it. It is at that boundary line that you meet yourself. You have a choice – what character and future self-identity are you developing? Which wolf will you feed?
