One of the major undoings of a lot of people is that they act without thinking of what the result of their actions will bring tomorrow. The truth is that there is nothing that you do today (be it action, speech, or even inaction) that will not have effect. Of course, every action is like sowing a seed, and you know what happens when seeds are sown, it will produce after its kind. In the same way, the result of your actions will take the same similitude of the action. You cannot undertake a negative action and then hope for it to magically produce a positive result. Positive result is a direct result of positively inclined actions.

If people will take out time to pause and think about what the effects of what they want to do will bring, the world will be a much better place. Even in the face of provocation and anger, you still need to choose your words and actions rightly, so that they will not come back to haunt you. Trust me, what led to the provocation or the person that angered you may go away, but the effects of your actions will stick around for a while. If you know that an action will ultimately lead to a negative consequence, then wisdom demands that you should not go on with the action.
I remember what a friend once told me about how she got angry and spoke certain words (even if she did not mean it) to her boyfriend and that was what led to their breakup. It was after a while, when she was calm that she came to realise that she should not have made such utterances, but it was already late. The truth is that, more often than not, your words and actions are indelible and cannot be undone. It is better to watch how you act and what you say than trying to undo what have already gone beyond redemption. One of the reasons why we have brain is to think holistically before we act. Acting without thinking is defeating the purpose of having a mind of your own.
Before you do certain things, know that the effects will wait for you in the future. I remember the analogy a friend once gave. A father wanted to teach his son about the impact of actions and their indelibility. He took him to a tree and then handed him over some nails and a hammer and asked him to begin to hit the nails one after the other into the tree. The son did not understand what was happening but he did as his father said. After he was done with nailing, his father told him that what he did was "action."
Still at that moment, the son did not understand the message the father was trying to pass on to him. The father then asked him to undo his actions; to remove all the nails that he had hammered into the tree. With so much efforts, he was able to remove every single nail and was happy with himself. But the father turned to him and said "son look, the holes of the nails are still in the tree, make them to go away." The son responded that he cannot remove the holes because they are already engraved into the tree. The father smiled and told him that this same thing happens with other actions in life: even if you try to undo them, you will still not be able to remove their effects. So be cautious of your actions.

Any action you take today will come with an effect, even if it is not immediately, it will be sometime in the future. There are lots of actions that you took in the past, which you are now seeing both their effects and consequences today. In the same way, when you take actions today, whether they are negative or positive, good or bad, their results will be delivered in the similitude of the action. Having a good future does not answer to wishes or to luck, but to good actions that have been taken at the right direction and the right time. The kind of tomorrow you will like to have will determine, to a great extent, the kind of actions you will undertake today.
