Today's Episode focuses on a paradox of time: Accepting the limits of time—acknowledging its finiteness and your inability to control or conquer it—can lead to fulfillment. Embracing your finite nature which is the very thing that seems to restrict you—is what unlocks a life of depth, presence, and genuine freedom.
This seems counterintuitive because we often associate freedom with having more time, more options, or more control. Yet, the opposite tends to be true.

Control Through Surrender
Trying to dominate time (through endless schedules, hacks, or multitasking) often leads to feeling out of control because time is relentless—it moves forward regardless of your efforts. Surrendering to its flow doesn’t mean giving up but working with it. This mindset shift often brings a sense of calm and mastery.
