Rob Dial questions why people show up for their boss's demands but skip their own goals like exercise or starting a business. He argues you're building someone else's dream while yours waits, and death is coming whether you act or not.

The thing that drives me the craziest about people, though, is this. If you work for someone else and they tell you that you have to be at work at 9am, you're going to be there at 9am because you don't want to get fired. When they tell you what to do, you're going to do it. But when you tell yourself every single week that you're going to start working out tomorrow, that you're going to start waking up earlier, you don't. When you tell yourself that you're going to start that business next week, you don't. Why is everyone always following through with what other people tell them to do, but they're not following through themselves? Why are they always building somebody else's dream but they won't build their own dream? When are they finally going to wake up, start living for their life, realize they're going to fucking die, and they need to build a life that they want and not the life that other people want them to build?
