“While we wait for life, life passes.”Seneca
In our modern world, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to pursue our goals can lead to missed opportunities and stagnation. Rather than endlessly preparing for the future, we can take small steps towards our aspirations each day. For instance, instead of waiting for the "perfect" time to start a new exercise routine, we can begin with a short workout today to work towards our health goals.
Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
The Bible verse from Proverbs 16:3 supports the idea that taking small steps towards our goals is important. It encourages us to commit our plans to the Lord, implying the importance of acting and moving forward instead of waiting indefinitely. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Courage, as it takes courage to take action and start working towards our aspirations without delay.
