Work Out Your Own Salvation

Cheri Huber begins her chapter, Work Out Your Own Salvation Diligently, in her book, "Trying to Be Human," with the following notion:

"At the moment of death, somebody else's enlightenment is going to be of no help to us. The only thing we take with us is what we is what is available to us in that moment. So it is imperative that we not worry about what anyone else is doing, not compare ourselves to anyone else, or imagine how we ourselves might be at some future point. Instead we should devote all our time and energy and attention and effort to being as present as we can in this moment."

I think that about sums it up. "Here and now, boys and girls, here and now."
