Sometimes we fail to hit the ultimate realism of life and that's answering the question "what next"? Humans are stone cold chasers and diligent in pursuing after a recognised quest and this is because the thrill of actually pursuing is more delightful than actually getting to the finishing line of being a total accomplisher. Pursuing after goals makes us have a purpose in life, it makes us feel dedicated to a cause of which without, our lives will have no meaning.
Now meaning defines us, when I mean define, it states the every reason for existence and when there's a reason for existence then there's a certain assurance that we wouldn't have to leave our path in pursuit of frivolities. Frivolities of course are distractions, they're meant to take us off our life tracks and even when I feel that sometimes we as people need to be indulgent in frivolities, it helps us understand the fact that life doesn't have to be a mission.
To many, life's just a mission but I'll rather say it's a journey. Missions are mandatory, a journey is a necessity. Sometimes we need to discover the essence of why it's needful to undertake our life's journey and not why it's mandatory to undertake life as a mission. We don't have to be known as accomplishers to have lived a fulfilled life because after death accomplishments becomes records without use and all the compulsion that's states life as a mission becomes really wasted and unnecessary in the first place.
Without a doubt, it's often very painful to reach a particular stage in life and find ourselves in the limbo of curiosity, in this particular stage it means we've chased beyond our timeline and now we have to live readjusting every piece and every fragments of ourselves just to suit the present. Now at one time in life we're often shown a path irrespective of how we look at it, but taking the time, enjoying the process of existence and following one's rightful timeline ensures we never have to be so ask questions like "what next?"
In conclusion, there's an emptiness when one gets to the finishing line of a race of course, literarily.
One of the leading actors of game of thrones Kit Harington once said that the ending of the television series seemed so emotional it was like there was no purpose to his life again.
This feeling brings a certain mental strain, there's this tiredness about life that often comes like a constant pain. However how then can we reach the finishing line of our journey without thinking it's the end of our world? Truth is, we're the ones who attach too much importance to specific goals we hope to meet. No goal is however special because the goal we should strive hard to meet is that of inner fulfilment and self satisfaction.
