"Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we're going to be more cheerful in the future, it's because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now."
- Pema Chödrön

  "Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed." - Eileen Caddy

 

 

 

"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."
- Earl Nightingale

          "I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today."
- William Allen White

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."

- Earl Nightingale

"Avoiding the phrase 'I don't have time...', will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life."

- Bo Bennett

 "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot."
- Michael Altshuler

 

  "Be mindful of how you approach time. Watching the clock is not the same as watching the sun rise."

- Sophia Bedford-Pierce

  

 "The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose."

- Arnold Bennett

  A Chinese proverb states, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.  The second best time is now."   It is important to recognize the urgency in what we are doing, yet also understand the value in calmly and efficiently handling our matters.

 "Learn to say no to people that are wasting your time. Be polite, but say no. You have your goals, your commitments, and you still take time to be helpful, however everyone has their limits. Learn to say no to those things that are clearly out of your area: you will save time for yourself and you will let the person asking for your help move on to someone that can really help them. Time is all you have, so learn to guard it carefully and of course use it wisely. Say no to people and things when you need to."
-- Edward W. Smith

 

      "Make time for the people you care about ...It's so easy to get caught up in doing and achieving that we often neglect to make time to be with the people we care about most."
-- Donna Smallin
