60. you never get today back

If you’re not careful, occasional enjoyments like watching Netflix can turn into a chronic activity that fills your free time. The result is a lost opportunity to take action towards the life you want to lead, the body you wish to have, or the person you need to become. By choosing idleness over effort, you fall slave to your weaker impulses. Spending time watching TV, or any wasteful activity, means less time exercising, reading, writing, or working on your dreams. You are exchanging your future fulfillment for temporary pleasure. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your free time, but if it is consistently taking the place of putting in the necessary effort to fulfill your dreams, you are effectively trading your future for entertainment. And Tiger King was not that good!

Be mindful that the habits you choose to live by should be built upon the person you wish to become, So, be sure to use the time you have to your advantage because you never get today back.
