I’ve spent years chasing a goal I’d never hit. No trophy, no celebration, no end state in sight. It’s taken years to realize there was never a goal, just an image or a shadow I was chasing in my mind. I’ve realized now that the thing that pushes me isn’t the goal, it’s the struggle to keep going, knowing there is no trophy, no finish line, just the satisfaction knowing that I do this because I love it. There is no end state or finish line, just the journey on this path of self discovery and giving yourself the opportunity to progress... stay the course.
