a very human thing


"It’s a very human thing, I think, to be continually unimpressed by our own successes, to enjoy them for five minutes before we return to thinking about all the things we have yet to achieve, and I’m as guilty as anyone. But the greedy maw of my ambition can wait to be fed while I try my best to do some actual living beyond the frantic grasping at success that is all too common among those of my [generation]. [Here] is not a finish line. [There] is not a finish line. There is only one finish line in life, and when I think about it, I don’t really want to get there." -Beck
