Here is a choice in the present moment: Do you want to do a lazy action, or do you want to do an energetic action? Each present moment will come along, and you can make it count.

"No matter how long you’ve been a lazy person, you don’t have to keep on being a lazy person. Don’t even think of who you are. Just think that here is a choice in the present moment. Do you want to do a lazy action, or do you want to do an energetic action? Do you want to do something that’s working toward the Dhamma or away from the Dhamma? Then the next present moment will come along, and you can make that one count, too."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Judging the Dhamma"

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.

Everything you do, and say, and think, has an impact on how you experience the world. If you can train your actions, the world will seem very different. You cause less suffering for yourself and less suffering for others as well.
