I may not reach my goal
but I am moving.
I may not be able to achieve it all
yet despite everything, I am trying.
I am not where I was before.
There is certainly some growth,
that is for sure,
even if its pace is slow.
I don’t prioritize my goals
to the extent that they have the ability
to push me beyond my goodwill.
I don’t want success
if it makes me feel
any less worthy of myself.
Pushing myself may reveal
my hidden and highest potential
but I can’t compromise my health—
physical or mental—
to reach to the peak.
I thought otherwise
most of my life
when I used to avoid
my need to re-energize.
As I am traveling in my journey,
I am unraveling new mysteries.
I am meeting new people
who help me and teach me new lessons.
It is as if, life is a river
and I am flowing along with its torrents.
I have reached till the present
surely through some movement.
