The pursuit of mastery is an ever-onward almost.

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

Mastery is in the reaching, not in the arriving.

The pursuit of mastery is an ever-onward almost.

Mastery requires endurance. Mastery, a word we don’t use often, is not the equivalent of what we might consider its cognate—perfectionism—an inhuman aim motivated by a concern with how others view us. Mastery is also not the same as success—an event-based victory based on a peak point, a punctuated moment in time. Mastery is not merely a commitment to a goal, but to a curved-line, constant pursuit.

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

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