The Perpetual Struggle

Our life is a constant fight against mediocrity.

A repetitive attempt to rise above the ordinary and the mundane.

It is a struggle to overcome our chronic laziness,

and to do one more thing of substance before relapsing to average.

But goals are like the horizon,

they move away as we approach.

We never seem to reach what we aim for,

destined to remain unfulfilled for perpetuity.

But we keep telling ourselves, one more push and we may get there,

not really knowing what is or where is “there”.
