Three interconnected clocks govern our lives:

· Universal Clock

· Mental Clock

· Personal Clock

The Universal Clock, the GMT of life, dictates the unfolding of events in our lives. When despite our efforts, we fail, we often say, “Time isn’t right” right? Well, that’s the universal clock.

The Mental Clock governs our thoughts, rarely aligning with the present, often dwelling in the past or future.

Lastly, the abstract Personal Clock symbolizes hard work or “the grind” in Gen Z terms — its needles move based on our efforts.

Work hard! Get your Personal Clock ticking, the universe waits for none. Don’t wait for the right time, speed up the goddamn fourth dimension! Else dreams will remain dreams, more unwritten books, uncreated YouTube channels, unlaunched startups, and unrealized millionaires…

Achieve greatness! Leave legacies! Make your identity impervious to ravages of time.

Until then,

Godspeed.
