An oft quoted adage - make it or break it. Rhythmic expression. Succeed or fail. Something or
The determined amongst us, the driven amongst us, are either
making it or breaking it?.
But there are some not only making it, but also breaking it. Yes – Success AND Failure? Make it and Break
it?
You succeed. You get to
where you were going. You get to the
goal. And. At the same time you fail? Strange huh?
But I have seen it. You are
soo set on getting to your goal, overwhelmingly driven to your end. Totally target oriented. Fanatic.
Blinders on to everything else. Nothing
else matters. Nothing gets in the
way. Of your goal.
And you get there.
And when you get there – the goal is finished. You stop and savour the moment. And keep stopped. And savouring. And savouring. And nothing else. To do.
To look forward to. And it’s just
downhill from there. Like those old
fuddy duddy civil servants put out to pasture; I hang my head at the village
mung’etho post, out of touch and out of sorts and die tout de suite. I made it and broke it.
Or – you get there and stop.
And savour the moment. And you
look for the witness. The validation of
achievement of your ambition. Some
applause. But there is nothing. Silence.
Empty. The rest of my life is
long gone. My kids, my wife, my brother,
the watchman, the employees. Not
interested. And I take a tally. What happened? When did it happen? What am I now? Where am I now. In my nirvana alone. Tired and broke down. Broke down body, broke down family, broke
down peace, broke down relationships.
But I made it and broke it!! Congratulate me?
