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.

Time waits for no one, so do not waste your time. Use your time to live, to play, to love, to make yourself happy. The only time you know is Now. Seize it. To do that, you can take your lessons your these six world leaders.

“Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.”

“Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to hurry any of you in hot haste to a step which you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it.”- Abraham Lincoln

Do not jump into what you don’t know. Look before you leap. Because great things take time to do. So if you want to do great things, you must take your time.

The key question?

“The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right things? – Randy Pausch

Time is precious. Try to answer the question above. If you are not spending your time on the right things, you will never get to where you are going. The good news is: you can change it. You can start spending your time on the right things. It is never too late to start. Will you start now?

Make time for what is important to you.

“You don’t find time for important thingss, you make it.”- Randy Pausch

There is no time for anything. But if something is very important to you, you must create time to make it happen. Do not wait for the right time to get things done. Now is the right time to get things done. You can do it if you have the courage to face your fears.

Time does not stand still.

“Our liberty, is endangered if we pause for the passing moment, if we resist on our achievements, if we resist the pace of progress. For time and the world do not stand still.”- John F. Kennedy

Time does not stand still. Change does not stand still. And life does not stand still. If you want to grow, you must not stand still. You must NOT resist change.

“Change is the law of life.”

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.”- John F. Kennedy

Life is not hard if you have the courage to face change, to grow, to expand yourself. Because life is all about change. It is going forward. It is changing. If you want to see what is in front of you, you must not look to the past. Live your life in the moment.

Now is the right time to do what is right.

“The time is always right to do what’s right.”- Martin Lurther King Jr.

The time to help is now. The time to do what is right for yourself is now. Do not waste it. If you cannot change your life now, when are you going to change your life?
