“It is so easy to put off doing what we know is important, or even meaningful for our lives. But waiting for the future is like waiting for a bus that never comes. Unless we soon start doing what we feel is important, we will get nowhere. Taking action, however, is not an easy task, because it means taking charge of our lives and learning to be honest with ourselves in unaccustomed ways.”
— Tarthang Tulku
