There’s no place anywhere where you can come to the end of having to keep on making the effort to act skillfully unless you make it to nibbāna.

"The reflection on how all living beings are the owners of their actions is meant to induce samvega — realizing that wherever you might go in the cosmos, even in the deva realms, kamma still reigns. There’s no place anywhere where you can come to the end of having to keep on making the effort to act skillfully unless you make it to nibbāna."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Reflection on Kamma"

You Don't Have to Be Afraid of Missing Out on Your Karmic Legacy

You know that you’ve got some past mistakes. There’s going to be some pain coming in the future. This shouldn’t be news. Having concentration as an alternative to sensual pain and pleasure puts you in a safe place.
