GOALS

There were days when we were young
The world was at our feet
And literally 'sky was the limit'
Nothing seemed impossible!!

Then we grew up
The world that looked so rosy
And full of sunshine
Suddenly transformed into a whirlwind
Things at our feet were beyond our reach
The pragmatic picture
Of a realistic world made us crib
Goals and ambitions were shattered into tatters!!

Frustrations, stress, strain
Keep you occupied
And suddenly you are lagging behind in the race
You want to run
But your apprehensions don't permit you to do so.

We metamorphose from adolescents to adults
The unpalatable term 'uncle'
From kindergarten kids make you feel
How far have you come!!

These are words of a 'loser'
It's time to resurrect from the ashes
To prove a point
Not to the world, but yourself.

Goal is what drives you in life
Goal has no age to be inculcated
The day you retire from your goal
Is the day you retire from your world
You ought to have a purpose, a goal in life
And that is what will transcend you
From a 'loser' to a winner!!
