Today's Journal
We know what it is we need to do. We have the information. The problem is doing it. Marcus Aurelius says, "You could be good today, instead you choose tomorrow." We put it off. We say I'm going to get started on the diet, I'm going to get started on the novel, I'm going to get started a cleaning the house. I'm not going to do it today, I'm going to do it tomorrow.
If it was about information no one would be overweight, no one would be unhealthy, everyone would have six pack abs, every project would get completed. We know how to do it, the problem is that we don't do it. We don't take the steps.
That's why the stoics have, "the discipline of action". At the end of the day it's all about the action you take. It's not what you say, it's not what you think, it's what you do. What action are you going to take? What step are you going to take? And really that's how you finish stuff. Step by step. "Just take the first step," Marcus Aurelius says, "No one can stop you from that."
