Our actions and their results are closely related to each other. While virtuous deeds lead to pleasant outcomes, evil ones invariably cause pain and misery. But, people generally ignore this reality and worry unnecessarily about the future. It is usually forgotten that the nature of our future life depends a great deal on the way we live in the present. Success in life is less the result of a divine blessing than of such qualities as hard work, courage, fortitude, and the determination to overcome challenges. Whenever we criticize circumstances for our troubles, we should not forget that our troubles may be due to our own faults and mistakes. In other words, what we get maybe what we deserve.
