2000 journal philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

How much longer are you going to wait? We all know professional procrastinators. You know those people who constantly put stuff off,

who always have some new plan in the works to improve their health, their finances, their work, their friendships, their relationship.

I'm ready to start eating better, they say, after the holidays. I'm ready to settle down. Soon, I'm ready for my next big project.

I just have to finish something else first. We know these people, because we are these people. Every one of us wants to improve,

wants to be better, wants to live better, have better habits, think better. Many of us even know exactly how to do this.

We just can't actually bring ourselves to do it.

To that end, the great stoke, Epictetus has the perfect question for you today. How much longer are you going to wait to

demand the best for yourself? To demand the best of yourself. You know you deserve better, you know you're capable of better,

you have plans to do this, you intended to do it, but you haven't done it yet. What's it going to take? When are you going to stop talking about

philosophy and start embodying it? When are you going to start fulfilling that potential that's just sitting there?

Well, what about right now? Because it's possible this year, 2021, we're putting it to you here. Stop putting things off.

Don't wait until tomorrow. Don't wait until Monday. Start now. Someone has to take control, and that someone is you.

There are just 48 hours left to join our new year, new year challenge. And we created this because we are all struggling with procrastination,

with self-doubt, with bad habits, with the potential that's not fully realized. And it's time this year to do something about it.

Let's take control, and let's stop putting things off. Let's demand the best for ourselves.

The Daily Stoke, New Year, New Year challenge is a set of 21 actionable challenges presented one per day built around the most timeless

stoke wisdom. Our goal is to help you make this year your very best. This year's challenge is all new content guided by thousands of responses to all the times we've done these challenges before.

Every year, this year, this one in front of you can be best. You can join people who are doing this as well.
