My father instilled on me a piece of wisdom that has always stayed extremely relevant in my life:

"You either pay the price now or you pay the price later"

What he meant by that is this: You can choose to waste your time now, but if you make that choice, be prepared to have to make up the time you wasted by struggling later.

The reverse, of course, is also true.

If you work hard now, you'll reap the rewards of your hard work and have more freedom in how you spend your time later.

I think this is some of the greatest advice one can receive, simply because of how true it is. In life, what goes around tends to come around and we have to be diligent in recognizing that fact.
