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"
