Why don’t I feel weight of this word?
It looks intense
Why can’t I hear drums and orchestra?
Why don’t I feel adrenaline rush?
No goosebumps?
No racing heart ?
No ecstasy?
Not a single memory of broad smile..
Deep dimples and tears of joy…?
How can this feel so insubstantial?
I have been staring at it for hours
And it has triggered nothing!
How can I be so unmoved
When the meaning of my real name is achiever?
How can I be so unresponsive
When all I was told ever was to RUN! RUN! and RUN!
Wearing horse blinders until I reach my destiny..
I have seen my highs..
And my lows..
I have been surprised by sudden victories..
And I have crawled out of my failures,
Beaten and defeated…broken and bruised..
But as a better human!
I remember my old self vividly..
I have lived enough to realize and believe,
It’s not always about winning!

I really enjoyed this. You are right, it’s not always about winning. Sometimes, it’s just about Being.

Yes! Because if it is all about “winning” which, cannot happen all the time, then it becomes about “loosing” which is a pretty darned negative way to look at life.
