Ever feel like you're running on a hamster wheel, chasing money and success while time slips through your fingers? This episode of The Trust Factor tackles our complex relationship with time, money, and control—revealing why these pursuits often leave us exhausted and unfulfilled.

King Solomon wisely observed that we have just 70 useful years on this planet. At 50, I've experienced firsthand how quickly decades can vanish. Even during vacation or in retirement homes, time accelerates rather than slows. This reality check demands we examine what truly matters and how we allocate our precious hours.

The episode explores a powerful parable of a peasant experiencing a train for the first time. As the train naturally accelerates, he pounds on its walls, believing his actions are causing it to speed up—wasting energy when he could simply relax and enjoy the ride. This mirrors our modern existence perfectly. We attribute success to our careful planning and tireless efforts, failing to recognize a higher power at work.

Through personal stories from my factory experience, I share how stepping away from problems—even when they seem urgent—often leads to better solutions. Repeatedly, I've discovered that surrendering control and trusting in something greater results in more efficiency and peace than my anxious micromanagement ever could.
