The goal ahead.

So far away.

Keep going. Keep going.

Diffusing the mind games step by step.

When there is nothing left to give, no more energy to push into steps.

Stop.

Only to realize the goal is behind now.

Much farther behind.

Revel in the success, the sheer will.

Rest.

Tomorrow’s new goal awaits

with an anticipatory voice,

“Keep going. Keep going.”
