What you do with the present moment is the determining factor of how your future will be. You should not take actions carelessly because they will have results and consequences in the future. Just the way the consequences of past actions are being manifested in the present moment, the consequences of the actions of the present moment will manifest in the future. When this consciousness resides in your mind, your actions will not be taken carelessly.
When you do something because you feel you are in a position to do it or you feel that you can do as you please, just remember that there is something called "consequences". The truth is, the only thing you can choose is the action itself, but when the consequences come, you cannot but bear it. If you will not be able to bear the weight of the consequences when they come, then you should not undertake the preceeding action that will lead you to that.
Even when you choose inaction where you are meant to perform a positive action, there will also be consequences to that. Take this instance: Imagine if a farmer chooses to be inactive during the planting season and does not plant any seed, the consequences of his inaction will manifest during the harvesting season because he will not have any farm produce to harvest.
The same way actions carry consequences, words also have their own consequences. Before you use words, try to consider the choice of the words you use because when words go out, it may be almost impossible to recall them back and the recipient of the words may be deeply hurt by them. There are some words that when spoken to people, will never leave them the same. Just to let you know, words can either make or break people, so use them wisely.
Before you act or say something, take a moment to think about it and consider the potential results. If after considering all these, you will know if the actions are worthwhile. The reason behind many people's regrets after taking actions is simply because they act without thinking first. The reason you are given brain is so you can put it in use, especially in cases like this. Remember this:
He who has brain should exhibit some common sense.
If you will be able to put common sense into actions, you will be able to avoid many unworthy and negatively inclined actions. Your time here on earth is not unlimited, so do not waste it on negativities. You have to learn to choose and prioritise your actions according to how important they are and the consequences they will have in the future.
If you want to have a worthy tomorrow, then you have to perform worthy actions today. Your tomorrow is not at the mercies of someone else's actions of today but largely on your own actions of today. Don't be deceived when the majority tilts towards a particular path. Sometimes, even minority can be right and majority wrong, so do not choose an action based on how many people are already in the act. Always remember this: consequences are most times personal.
