THE ILLUSION OF YOUR DESTINATION – A Beacon Of Wisdom

The Illusion of Your Destination" transcends the boundaries of conventional poetry
The Illusion of Your Destination" delves into the profound metaphor of life as a race, challenging the conventional notion of a clear finish line.

In this grand race called life, we often find ourselves chasing dreams,

Setting our sights on finish lines, it’s not always what it seems.

For in the struggle lies the truth, the essence of our quest,

And the action itself, my friend, is where we find our best.

Picture this: a room where dreams collide, where Nike’s story begins,

Phil Knight and Sonny Vaccaro, two minds who share their sins.

“Do you run?” Phil asks, knowing well the answer’s not literal,

But a metaphor for life, a struggle that’s perpetual.

Running, a physical act of strength and might,

Symbolic of the challenges we face, the battles we must fight.

For life is not a sprint, my friend, it’s a marathon so long,

An infinite game we play, where the rules forever throng.

We often fall for the illusion, the deception in our sight,

That the finish line is where it ends, the pinnacle of our fight.

But Phil Knight, wise as he is, unravels this grand lie,

“The finish line is but a mirage, my friend,” he says with a sigh.

The true goal lies not in reaching that elusive, distant mark,

But in the action, in the running, in the fire that ignites the spark.

It’s in the journey we embark upon, the struggles that we face,

And how we evolve and grow, finding strength in each new chase.
