These are the times of a 100 metre sprint.
These are the times where we tend to move at a very high pace and expect to achieve instant gratification. We sprint to a finish line, only to find that it is the beginning of a new start line. We race wearing our myopic lens through which we choose to only look at the 'here and the now', ignoring the long term big picture. We not only cross our own hurdles, but to get ahead, often wish of hurdles for others, and sometimes create them ourselves. We keep sprinting tirelessly with our focus on a mirage of the finish line, and in the process miss out on the real “life” that is passing us by.
Such is the adventure of the track and field event of our lives.
A marathon will have to wait ….
