A Sense of Control

A sense ofcontrol.

It is difficult to come to terms with the frustration caused by not having control in an increasingly out of control world. Waiting for a point-of-sale card reader to display “approved” while you bag $250 dollars of groceries with one hand is hardly dignified. Neither is waiting for a gas pump to clear your purchase as the day wastes away behind you. Plainly put, 95 percent of what happens is outside of our purview, but what would you give to reduce that number to 94 percent, or even 93?

The coming shift from cash and physical payments to digital methods is not solely about convenience. More importantly, it about regaining control. Control of your payment is not about self serving. Rather, it is about redirecting time and energy back to what matters. Control is priceless.
