Every unsatisfactory present you experience stems from a past moment when you refused to strive, to act, or to change. That "past" may not be distant; it might simply have been your thoughts and actions just moments ago. Your current thoughts and deeds are instantly becoming a new "past."

Ultimately, none of this concerns others; it is merely the cumulative result of your actions in every present moment.
