The Long Run

Confident or nervous?

Rock or sand?

Pro or amateur?

-

Do your eyes work or are the signs beyond senses?

Left simply to be an artefact of the ineffable.

But then how do we run the race?

-

When fears emerge.

He pursues excellence.

When Goliath attacks.

He pursues excellence.

When left to die.

He pursues excellence.

-

Why?

Because the goal demands it.

But what even is the goal?

-

Money?

Sex?

Power?

-

Chasing the wind is not a race you can win.

It is not even a race.

But it is perpetual.

-

Everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

Finding ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy.

The most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

-

Occhams razor.

-

Futility and frustration are twins.

-

The end goal cannot be a goal if the goal changes upon arrival.

You see the man on the street is free whereas the one in the suit and tie is a slave.

It is just we have learnt to love our chains.

-

So do you add or subtract?

Become a space giver or space invader?

Humble yourself or hold yourself as the deity?

-

Identity precedes destiny.

-

Some called it the cause and effect - a chicken or an egg.

But both fall short without purpose.

A map to cross the road is needed.

The alternative is simply to become roadkill or the prize of someone else’s lunch.

-

Clarity starts with considering you are not your own.

You were bought with a price.

And that changes the race completely.
