If you want to be happy with your life, do not let things control your life. Do not keep what you do not need. Do not attach yourself to what you do not need. Whatever you do not need, do not keep it. Whatever you do not need, do not buy it. Save your money for another day. Because buying what you do not need is not going to get you to where you want to be.

If you want to enjoy your life, do not attach yourself to your material possessions. Do not let them control your life. If you want to be happy, you must do whatever it takes to master your things. Do not let things master you. If they do, if you let them, you will feel the heat. You will suffer. If you let things take over your freedom, if you let your material possessions take over your life, you will never find peace. You will never be happy with yourself. It is good to have things, to buy things, but do not let them take over your life. If you need something, buy it. If something is still relevant, keep it. If something is still helping you, keep it. But if not, throw it away.

Happiness comes from buying, from keeping what you really need. Unhappiness, on the other hand, comes from buying, keeping what you do not need. If you do not need something, say, “I do not need it. I am not buying it.” You can say it.

If you want to be happy, take charge of your life. You cannot win if you are not in charge of your own life. No matter what, you must take responsibility for your life, for your actions. That is how you grow. That is how you get better. Do not focus on things that are holding you back. Focus on making your life better. And you cannot do that if you are not willing to take charge of your life. You must take charge. You must do what makes you happy. And you must make the decision to be happy today, not tomorrow. And if you can do that, you will always find happiness within you.

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?
