Life is all about enjoying the moment. If you are not living in the moment, you are living in the past. And to live in the moment, you have to appreciate it. To do that, you can start with these lessons.

Now is all you have.

“There is only one thing in your life you can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. “- Barry Long

Now is all you have. Do not worry about your past. Do not worry about your future. Just focus on what is in front of you right now. If you can do what is in front of you right now, you can take care of the future. You can do it. Focus and see what happens.

Live in the moment. Enjoy it. Celebrate it.

“The present is the child, and the necessary child, of all the past, and the mother of all the future.”- Robert G. Ingersoll

If you can take care of Now, your future will take care of itself. Why is that? Because whatever you are doing right now is taking care of your future. What you are doing right now is feeding your future. If you are not working right now, it is never too late to start working. Why not now?

Now will later be your past.

“The slow one now will later be fast as the present now will later be past.”- Bob Dylan

The past is gone forever. Do not worry about it. Just focus on where you are, what you are doing, and how you are doing it. The future will take care of itself.

Control yourself, not time.

“You fail to understand… .We do not control time. If anything, it controls us. We simply measure it.”- Michael Moorcock

Life is huge! The only thing you can control is yourself. You can’t stop time from ticking, but you can control your life. Time is the distance that turns hate into love, that unhappiness into happiness.
