More freedom is about getting your time back. Time is all we have, time is a firstprinciple in physics. For example, the average lifespan in the United States today is:27,375 days.  That means that is what was deposited in your “time bank” when youwere born.  Every day, whether or not you want to, you make a withdrawal of 1 day. When the days run out, you die.  Game over. Life is short. So ask yourself, am I really fulfilling my full potential? Am I really doing what I lovein the time given to me? If the answer is No, then make a change have the courage to seek your dreams. Your Wize Mentors will help you along the journey. You are not alone.
