When you act, you should not only focus on the present moment, you should be able to picture what effect your actions will have on your tomorrow. To think that the actions of today will not have effect on your tomorrow is to think in error. The truth is, there is no action that you take in the present moment that the effect will not be felt in a later time. This is why maximum level of caution should be applied when acting.

Most times, people are only focused on what they want to do, and some of these are born out of their own personal desires. Whereas, they tend to forget what they actually need to do. Whatever you do or want to do, you should focus on a bigger picture - tomorrow. The same way the present moment was as a result of some actions of the past, the future will also be as a result of the actions of the present.
After you are long gone from a place, do you care to ask yourself the memory you have left behind? You will either be remembered in a positive way (for the problems you solved) or in a negative way (for the problems you created). So the choice is left for you to make on how you want your memory to be remembered. The truth is, positive memory is not enforced, rather it is earned through your actions today.
You should understand that, just as a farmer plants seeds and hope for harvests at a later time, your actions are comparable to seeds which has the proclivity to produce after their kind. That is, if you perform a positive action in the present, the result will be of its kind - positive result. Similarly, if you tilt towards a negative action, the result you will be met with in your tomorrow will be negative.
Your positive actions should be without recourse to what anyone does to you or does not do to you. For example, when you are in a position to help people, you do not have to consider if the help is merited or not, but for the sake of your future, you should not deny the person the help. You will be surprised that the same help you gave to someone today will be returned back to you tomorrow, maybe in another way.

There are things that may be right for you to do in the present but what should determine their expedience is the consideration of tomorrow. Do not sacrifice your tomorrow for an action of today. Always have in mind that when an action goes forth, it may be very difficult to be recalled or edited, so be cautious of your actions.
The actions of yesterday has gone, you only need to brace up to welcome the result which is inevitable. However, there is a way to set the results of the future aright by performing positive actions in the present. Remember this; everyone will bear the responsibility of their actions and will also bear the consequences of the actions.
