Unachievables

We have all had that one thing which we wanted with all our heart and soul but certain situations or conditions rendered them unachievable. It is common occurence for the unachievable to be a person. Something or someone we have always fantasised about or wanted to call our own. The pursuit of the unachievable brings out the romantic, the poet and the dreamer in us. We are so engrossed in trying to achieve the unachievable that we never give much attention to how the desired object fits into our life. And when I say object, I mean both the living and the non - living because in our efforts to win the target, fuelled by mindless passion, even though unintentionally, we become a little selfish and end up disregarding the feelings and needs of the prize we have set our eyes on.

In our minds, the race to win becomes an unending process, the end of which we don't give much thought to. When maybe just by coincidence or maybe owing to our incessant efforts or maybe because of a little bit of both, we achieve the unachievable, our joy has no bounds. I'm sure you know where I'm heading. But I'll continue anyway. The rejoice is often short lived because after we are done admiring our achievement, we might be at a loss of words when we ask ourselves 'what next' or when we begin to think 'this doesn't feel right'. This moment maybe delayed but it will come. One day or the other. The romantic in you will never acknowledge it but there will be no getting away from it.

But it shouldn't keep you from wanting, desiring and aiming. Because whether we have realised it or not, we all live for the race. We all need a dream which becomes a purpose towards which all our efforts are aimed. It is just important to remember always the feeling we had when we first made the unachievable our life's goal which will help us keep its importance fresh in our minds. And to find a new unachievable. But it shouldn't conflict with your achieved unachievables.

The world is full of possibilities and impossibilities. Never stop dreaming. Never stop cherishing the dream you turned into reality.
