What you are now is the result of what you planted earlier in your lives. If you feel that you are just a ‘weed’, it did not happen yesterday, but years ago - may be from your childhood days. But the hope is that it can be de-rooted and good seeds of habit can be sown: earlier the better, for you may not have much time left.

Never procrastinate.  There is a saying in Hindi: kal kaa kaam aaj; aaj kaa kaam abhi (Do tomorrow’s job today; today’s job now). The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better; your life or the ones who will come after. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits, or you will pay for the choices you plant today.
