This must be one of the most motivating things I’ve read in some time ! Great way to start the day.
“Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals.
How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.
Put your principles into practice - now.
Stop the excuses and the procrastination.
This is your life! You aren’t a child anymore.
The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be.
The longer you wait, the more you’ll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better.
From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself.
Separate yourself from the mob.
*Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do - now.” *

Tate referenced stoicism sometimes . Although he is against reading books, but I guess that’s the emphasize the action part that many are lacking , not the knowledge.
While I dont agree with everything he says, i dont get blindly triggered by it and listen to what he actually says, which is surprisingly empowering.

LET THIS DARKNESS BE A BELL TOWER
by Rainer Maria Rilke
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent earth: I flow.
To the rushing water, speak: I am.
