They are always getting ready to change. And then? They never do…Don't wait another year to change the course of your life. Don't wait another year to resolve your flaws and be rid of your vices. Read: There Is No Better Time Than Now​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the ​Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday talks about the first habit you should rid yourself of in the new year: procrastination. "If you're interested in doing it, do it. Choose today instead of tomorrow. Show up, no matter how imperfect or inconvenient because, as the Stoics remind us, the only time we truly have is now. The time to move forward with clarity and purpose is now."
