On The Dangers Of Excess Or: How Perspective Can Make You Do Something Great Today

Why don't we make the best use of our time?  Why is it so easy to procrastinate? To stay in bed for that little bit longer. Even the emperor of Rome struggled with this:
"I have to go to work - as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I'm going to do what I was born for - the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?" - Marcus Aurelius 
It is funny how nothing much has changed over the years.  Even in Ancient Rome, they were worries about excesses. Today, all of us have access to more than the Emperor of Rome.
 
He did not have electricity, a phone, a TV, a car.  He had slaves, but so do we. We just call it capitalism. We have outsourced our lives to technology or cheaper labour - building our phones, preparing our food, connecting across the ether.
 
Perspective is a needed jolt sometimes. With all the luxuries at your fingertips today, what is really stopping you. 

​Get out of bed and do something.
