I'm a master at getting as much in a day as possible.

So then put away, relentlessly away, all thought of the results. You cannot control them.

I only really set short-term goals because I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

No matter what people are doing, they are much less happy when their minds are wandering than when their minds are focused

is that if you are aware of what is happening, you are "doing it right," no matter what is happening.

Here is Eliot, again from "Burnt Norton": Time past and time future Allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time

We will need to become more aware of and take precautions against the incredible pull of the Scylla and Charybdis of past and future, and the dreamworld they offer us in place of our lives.

One great thing about growing old is that nothing is going to lead to anything. Everything is of the moment.

The spirit of complaint is born out of an unwillingness to trust God with today. Like the Israelites, it means you are spending your time looking back toward Egypt or wishing for the future all the while missing what God is doing right now.

God is the God of "right now." He doesn't want you sitting around regretting yesterday. Nor does He want you wringing your hands and worrying about the future. He wants you focusing on what He is saying to you and putting in front of you … right now.

Every day should be passed as if it were to be our last.

The wise man avoids evil by anticipating it.
