Focus on progress, not achievement.
Achievement is temporary.
Not only that, the satisfaction felt from achievement is fleeting.
The more you achieve, the further away contentment seems to get.
Progress, on the other hand, is always available to you so long as you seek it.
And progress’s satisfaction is repeatable.
With a mind focused on steady, incremental progress, you can find contentment in the journey.
Progress is not a straight path, however, nor is it without its obstacles and challenges, but it is a path of meaning and fulfillment.
In the end, progress may be all we truly have.
