We thrive not when we've done it all, but when we still have more to do.

Success is a label that the world confers on you, but mastery is an ever-onward 'almost.'

Mastery is in constantly wanting to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you attain what you never dreamed you could.

Mastery is in the reaching, not in the arriving.

Shoes are money well spent and a good metaphor for life: everything else in life may be awful but a shoe will cheer me up, lift my body and take an outfit up five levels. Plus, shoes are easy to carry and fun to collect.

Masters are not experts because they take a subject to its conceptual end. They are masters because they realize that there isn't one. On utterly smooth ground, the path from aim to attainment is in the permanent future.
