Is There Such A "FINISH LINE"?

 

Is There Such A "FINISH LINE"?  The thing is, 99.9999999% of us are so FINISH LINE-focused, be it during our school days, at the workplace, in our personal businesses and even in our holidays and social life.  It's like everything has an ENDPOINT where everyone is so darn glued to compete and complete, AS IF we were in the midst of that very competitive annual Boston Marathon.  BUT hey dude, not everything in life is tied-up to the FINISH LINE, not at all☝☝☝

YES YES yowwww, we always [NOT just often] hear that life is a game and it being a game, there's always a FINISH LINE at the end of that game.  Literally and technically, that is true, that is, if we're referring to a competitive game.  BUT alas, people tend to say that life has a beginning, a midpoint and an ENDPOINT.  And then, things get stretched once we hear that FINISH LINE.  BUT here I am, standing squarely on my feet, I'll vociferously argue that there is NO such thing as a FINISH LINE.  True, life forces us to constantly strive for greater things and even as life forces us to NEVER give up and NEVER surrender.  And as long as people believe that they cannot and should NOT stop trying, then we can reinforce our motivation and even sustain that momentum to keep us going💧💧💧

Browsing through my history files, I came across that 1991 Nike commercial with that headline-grabbing title 'THERE IS NO FINISH LINE".  And WHAT I think makes that Nike commercial a standout is that there were NO words spoken OR sung [at all].  Instead, a runner was shown jogging throughout city streets.  And on the buildings the runner passed by, clips of some of the all-time greats were shown💥💥💥

And that reminds me of perfect examples of people who, deep within themselves, believe that there are NO FINISH LINES.  I'll take on NBA's GOAT Michael Jordan and even boxing's Floyd 'Moneyman' Mayweather, they take on every new challenge in life like there is simply NO FINISH LINES ahead!!!

Our takeaway:  Per se, I am NOT aghast and against FINISH LINES because they are normally the catalyst that will trigger our adrenaline rush.  BUT here's the thing.  If we will end up embedding FINISH LINES in every single endeavor we will engage, that is a 'tall order' we CAN'T crack many times more.  WHY?  Because FINISH LINES have the benchmarks and thresholds we need to keep up BUT let's NOT forget we are neither a Superman OR Superwoman.  We've got our own capacities and limits.  WHY measure up to the pre-defined FINISH LINES WHEN you can tailor and customize your own FINISH LINE realistically?  YES there is a FINISH LINE BUT it's for us to define it [and NOT the other way around]😡😡😡
