Our lives are short and we only have limited time to bring about any real and lasting change. If we fail to separate the essential from the nonessential, we will lose ourselves in everyday preoccupations and petty pursuits, and when the time comes to die, it will be too late to change.
While we have time, instead of harping on our dissatisfactions, we should reflect on the favorable conditions for practice and resolve to make the most of our opportunities by inscribing the following thought permanently in our minds: “I have wasted enough time. Why waste any more? From now on, I’ll do something constructive and beneficial with my life, instead of squandering it in meaningless activities.” - Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche
