The Elusive Target


 

Life often presents us with a moving target. We set ambitious goals, fueled by passion and determination, only to find that the path to achieving them is constantly shifting. Unexpected obstacles arise, deadlines loom, and distractions pull us off course. Discouragement can easily set in, and the initial enthusiasm may wane as the mission seems to perpetually slip away.


 

The goal, a mirage, shimmering bright,
A beacon guiding, day and night.
But shadows dance, the path obstructs,
And every day, the target shifts.

The mission grand, a noble quest,
To conquer doubt, put fears to rest.
But deadlines loom, a constant strain,
And daily now, the start’s in vain.

Momentum lost, the spirit wanes,
Discouragement, a bitter rain.
The dream, a whisper, fading low,
As hope succumbs to endless “no.”

Yet, deep inside, a spark remains,
A flicker bright, that still sustains.
To rise above, to persevere,
And find a way, the goal to steer.

For though the path may twist and turn,
And obstacles may fiercely burn,
The will to strive, the heart’s desire,
Can fan the flame, and set it higher.

So let us rise, with renewed might,
And chase the dream, with all our might.
For even when the targets stray,
And missions fade, we’ll find a way.


 

The journey towards our aspirations may be filled with unexpected detours and unforeseen challenges. However, with unwavering determination and a resilient spirit, we can navigate these obstacles. We must remember that even when the goal seems to constantly evade us, we possess the inner strength and perseverance to find a new path and ultimately reach our destination.
