Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.

If something is important to you,
attend to it immediately, and regularly.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
