“…If you stop to think about it, most of life is ‘in between.’ When goal orientation comes to dominate our thoughts, little that seems to really count is left. Could all of us reclaim the lost hours of our lives by making everything—the commonplace along with the extraordinary—a part of our practice?
Life is filled with opportunities for practicing the inexorable, unhurried rhythm of mastery, which focuses on process rather than product, yet which, paradoxically, often ends up creating more and better products in a shorter time than does hurried, excessively goal-oriented rhythm that has become standard in our society.”
—George Leonard, Mastery
