Furthering that thought...
It may feel like undue pressure to 'do good', 'seek truth' or even to help someone when we, too, are in need of help. 
And yet, '...the accumulation of action through time' determines success.
Do you do 1 small thing today to help another?
Do you do 1 small thing today to better yourself?
Do you try something small and remain consistent with the effort?
Or, do you let it go, crumble under the pressure, become the victim, be the dirt?
In the end, we grow or die. The process of living always ends in death; your journey there is still, mostly, undecided.
