Stop Waiting.
Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. Once you have determined the spiritual principles you wish to exemplify, abide by these rules as if they were laws, as if it were indeed sinful to compromise them. Don't mind if others don't share your convictions. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.
--Epictetus (Greek, 55–135)*
*I disagree with that article's definition of Ataraxia, I'm pretty sure the "nature of things," was not "the predetermined and complexly fixed order of the universe and the cosmos". I think it's closer to this one.
