Via Daily Dharma / Finding Religion

[The] drive for future accomplishment just builds up the habit of always striving for something other than what we have right here and now. The result is that even when we reach our goal, we’re still being driven by those habits to look for the next thing.

—Friedrich Schleiermacher quoted in Thanissaro Bhikkhu’s “Romancing the Buddha”
