🧭 The Four Lanes of Life: Which One Are You Driving?
Years ago, I met a young man named Rafiq at a railway station. He had no job, but plenty of time. He was planning to travel across India with just a backpack and a dream. “I may not have money,” he said, “but I have freedom.”
A week later, I bumped into an old colleague, Priya, at a corporate seminar. She had a stable 9-5 job, a car, and a mortgage. “I earn well,” she said, “but I haven’t taken a real vacation in years.”
Then there was Arjun, a freelance designer I mentored. He had clients across continents, worked odd hours, and traveled often. “I make money and explore,” he said, “but I’m always chasing deadlines.”
Finally, I met Meera, a business owner who built a remote team and automated her operations. “I have time, travel flexibility, and financial freedom,” she smiled. “But it took years of sacrifice.”
🧠 Food for Thought from Prof. Yazdi
“Freedom isn’t found in the absence of work—it’s found in the alignment of work with purpose.”
