A lot has come to me early. I don’t want to get consumed with that. Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now. My goal is to play one full game in the now, but I haven’t even gotten past the first inning yet. I start thinking about where my mom is or if my dogs have been fed.

The idea that a goal can be attained perpetually frustrates human beings, who are disappointed at never getting there, never being able to stop  (Attained Quotes) The good society is marked by a high degree of order, justice, and freedom. Among these, order has primacy: for justice cannot be enforced until a tolerable civil social order is attained, nor can freedom be anything better than violence until order gives us laws  (Attained Quotes) Mozart is the highest, the culminating point that beauty has attained in the sphere of music  (Attained Quotes) Those who practice know whether realization is attained or not, just as those who drink water know whether it is hot or cold  (Attained Quotes) Men, you are in a battle. You are in a war. The stakes of this war and its casualties are higher than a checkmark in the win or loss column. Lives will be lost. Eternities will be shaped. Destinies will either be discovered or dismissed. Dreams will be attained or relinquished  (Attained Quotes) Stay hungry to become the best that you can be. Never be satisfied with the level of artistry you’ve attained. You can always be better  (Attained Quotes) To become enlightened is not just to slip into some disconnected euphoria, an oceanic feeling of mystic oneness apart from ordinary reality. It is not even to come up with a solution, a sort of formula to control reality. Rather, it is an experience of release from all compulsions and sufferings, combined with a precise awareness of any relevent subject of knowledge. Having attained enlightenment one knows everything that matters, and the precise nature of all that is  (Attained Quotes) Democracy, though slowly attained and never by revolutionary jumps, is the best government on earth when it tries to make all its citizens aristocrats. But not when it guillontines whoever is individual, superior, or just different  (Attained Quotes) I can think of nothing more gallant, even though again and again we fail, than attempting to get at the facts; attempting to tell things as they really are. For at least reality, though never fully attained, can be defined. Reality is that which, when you don’t believe in it, doesn’t go away  (Attained Quotes) Remember, success is not measured by heights attained but by obstacles overcome. We’re going to pass through many obstacles in our lives: good days, bad days. But the successful person will overcome those obstacles and constantly move forward  (Attained Quotes) Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor  (Attained Quotes) To become proficient in any field you must practise. There is simply no achievement without practice and the more practice, provided it is done intelligently, the greater will the proficiency be and the sooner will it be attained  (Attained Quotes) A life without regret can be attained by full awareness of one’s actions in their present moment  (Attained Quotes) A great business success was probably never attained by chasing the dollar, but is due to pride in one’s work, the pride that makes business an art  (Attained Quotes) In the beginning what is necessary is to feel that there is something worthwhile to be attained otherwise we won’t do it  (Attained Quotes) It is the infinite alone that cannot be attained, for if it could it would become finite  (Attained Quotes) If we are but sure the end is right, we are too apt to gallop over all bounds to compass it; not considering the lawful ends may be very unlawfully attained  (Attained Quotes) Mastery is an elusive concept. You never know when you achieve it absolutely and it may not help you to feel you’ve attained it. We can recognize it more readily in others than we can in ourselves. We have to discover our own definition of it  (Attained Quotes) To be free, to be happy and to be fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things  (Attained Quotes) The great use of copying, if it be at all useful, should seem to be in learning color; yet even coloring will never be perfectly attained by servilely copying the model before you  (Attained Quotes) When the purpose of the appointment to,cohabit with the widow bas been attained in accordance with the law, those two shall behave towards each other like a father and a daughter in law  (Attained Quotes) Man is wise only while in search of wisdom; when he imagines he has attained it, he is a fool  (Attained Quotes) You see a very advanced master who’s got a girlfriend, who listens to rock and roll, who thinks about things that are very earthly.
