The one thing all fools have in common, the famous philosopher Seneca wrote, is that “they are always getting ready to live.” They are always thinking that they have plenty of time. That they'll be able to get to it later. What makes you think you have that luxury? Do it now.

@RyanHoliday Life is fleeting, my friend. Don't be fooled by the illusion of time. Embrace the present, seize the opportunity, and live your dreams before it's too late. Carpe diem!

@RyanHoliday I needed to hear this!

@RyanHoliday There's something dark about this... The meaning of "living" is warped. Society views living as - Partying - Eating out - Wasting time - Leisure activities This "living" is living without purpose, being slaves to dopamine. It's like a drug

@RyanHoliday I have a feeling that the first 18 years in a persons life feel a lot longer than the next 18 years...

@RyanHoliday You will die in a small time. That's a fact. Everyone has to die. But don't fear dying. Only your body dies - your soul will never die. Be aware of that - and act NOW!! Be the person you want to be.

This reminder aligns with the Stoic principle of seizing the present moment. Epictetus similarly advised, “First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” Both statements emphasize the importance of taking immediate action and not postponing what matters, guiding us to live purposefully and make the most of our time, aligning with Stoic values of mindfulness, diligence, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.

@RyanHoliday Exactly. A year ago, I asked a career consultant why he left his high-earning trading job. His response? He wanted to add something meaningful to the world, something he'd be proud of if tomorrow never came. That chat inspired me to dive into my own consulting business.

@RyanHoliday Why did the procrastinator become a philosopher? Because they thought they had plenty of time to 'contemplate' their to-do list, but Seneca said, "Do it now!"

@RyanHoliday ❤️👍🏻

@RyanHoliday Guilty of this

@RyanHoliday People do have the luxury of time, why not use it to get further than stagnate?

@RyanHoliday It FEELS like you have more time, until those days start stacking up and you realize you lost track of time

@RyanHoliday Understanding the wisdom embedded in the Stoic philosophy is easy. Living it out is hard.

@RyanHoliday So true, Ryan. Time is the only resource you cannot regenerate.

@RyanHoliday Action

@RyanHoliday The future is never guaranteed.

@RyanHoliday Seneca's words hit hard. Fools procrastinate life, assuming endless time. Act now; tomorrow isn't guaranteed. #SeizeTheMoment

@RyanHoliday that's what past generations have taught us....unhappy with the result of this today...we finally understand better what the old philosophers have taught us all along...

@RyanHoliday Procrastination is the thief of time. 🕰️ Seneca's wisdom reminds us to seize the moment and live in the present. 🌟 Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Act with purpose and urgency today. 💪🔥🍃 Don't wait for the perfect moment; make the moment perfect. 🚀🌌

@RyanHoliday Speed of execution is what separates good from great.

@RyanHoliday Lack of taking action. I think it’s because they are in love with their comfort zone.

@RyanHoliday Needed this. All we have is now "one day" isn't guaranteed Take action today

@RyanHoliday But then you do always have more time until you don’t, then when you don’t it no longer matters as your dead.

@RyanHoliday Happiness is what truly matters

@RyanHoliday Procrastination is an art of the intelligence.
