why do you postpone yourself?

Last night I woke up from a nap to a youtube video on stoicism called "Why do you postpone yourself?" based on the works of stoic philosopher Seneca. This philosophical summary captured a feeling that has been marinating in my mind palace for years! Shout out to this divinely timed nap for landing me here.

Moral of the story: if you have legs you can start walking, you don't HAVE to sit idly at the train station waiting to set your life's work into motion. Privilege is of course a huge part of this conversation, but it is the people with the strongest legs that tends to be the most loathe to walk.

Whether you wait for the speed train or begin strolling down the path of your life's work, whether you are the hare or the tortoise, there is no reward at the end for how you arrive.
