Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.

People are always worried about what's happening next. They often find it difficult to stand still, to occupy the now without worrying about the future. People are generally not satisfied with what they have; they are very concerned with what they are going to have.
