Striving or Arriving?

You’re no longer living inside of yourself with a desire to be someone else or to gain something that seems to be omnipresent in all of those around you— you’ve traded in striving for arriving. ~ Wayne Dyer, Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

Paul said, "I've learned to be content
no matter what's happening,
regardless of where I am."
Now is the only time we have,
here the only place.
And contentment lingers for each of us,
for each when and where.
You carry home with you.
Work abounds. Deadlines loom.
Obligations remain. Commitments abide.
Yet you are where you should be.
Listen, do, be. Arrive. Accept.
And abandon the inclination to strive.
Desires discarded, ambition stifled.
Listen, accept, be.
