Alive Versus Dead Time

“According to Greene, there are two types of time in our lives: dead time, when people are passive and waiting and alive time, when people are learning and acting and utilizing every second. Every moment of failure, every moment or situation that we deliberately choose or control presents the choice: Alive or dead time. Which will it be?”

An excerpt from Ryan Holiday’s Obstacle is the Way (link)

World quarantine has disrupted the natural ebb and flow of life as we know it.

Days of the week are irrelevant, car keys and work clothes have stood in place.

Daily step counts halved while screen times doubled.

Millions have resorted into the path of least resistance, as they press snooze on what is important.

It is easy to simmer over the current conditions and seek refuge in technology, but times such as these, are opportunities to seek progress and prosperity.

My question to you is how will you seize this moment?
