In this thought-provoking episode, William delves into the concept of self-postponement with Atesh Atici, the influential voice behind the popular channel, 'Accepting the Universe'. Inspired by a powerful question from Seneca’s letters, "Why do you postpone yourself?", Atesh unpacks why so many of us put our lives on hold, waiting for a future that often never comes.

Together, we explore how this question has resonated with millions and shaped our understanding of personal growth. Why do we delay our happiness? Why do we feel compelled to earn or achieve before allowing ourselves to live fully? Atesh shares practical wisdom and Stoic insights on breaking free from these mental chains, encouraging us to act decisively and be present in the moment.

We discuss the universal and timeless nature of Stoic teachings and draw connections to other philosophies and practices, from Daoism to cognitive behavioural therapy. Atesh also explains how small, intentional steps — like simplifying our lives, focusing on our virtues, and developing a healthier relationship with time — can transform the way we live.

Tune in to discover how you can stop postponing your potential and start living a more intentional, fulfilling life today.
