Life, in all its unpredictable and awe-inspiring glory, often feels like a movie unfolding before our eyes. From the mundane to the extraordinary, each passing moment has a way of captivating us, pulling us deeper into the grand narrative of existence. And within this cinematic journey, we encounter goals—small, medium, and large—that shape our aspirations and define our purpose.
It is a peculiar phenomenon, that as we strive towards these goals, there is an innate belief that once we reach them, everything will magically fall into place. We convince ourselves that beyond that threshold lies the promised land, a place where troubles cease to exist and we can bask in eternal bliss. Like the final scene of a movie, we anticipate a sense of closure, where the credits roll and the story concludes.
Yet, life is not a neatly scripted screenplay. As we conquer one milestone, new horizons come into view, beckoning us towards fresh challenges and unexplored territories. It is as if the movie we are living takes an unexpected twist, revealing that the ending we envisioned was merely an illusion. The credits don't roll, and the story continues to unfold with its own set of triumphs and tribulations.
The truth is, life's goals are not finite checkpoints, but rather an ever-evolving series of chapters. Just when we think we have reached the pinnacle of our desires, new aspirations emerge, driving us forward on an unending quest for growth and self-discovery. It is within this perpetual motion that life finds its rhythm, pushing us to expand our boundaries, confront our fears, and strive for greatness.
And yet, amidst the ceaseless pursuit of new goals, there comes a day when the curtain falls. The movie that has consumed our existence comes to an end, leaving behind memories and echoes of the moments that shaped us. It is a poignant reminder that life, like a movie, eventually reaches its final act.
In the end, perhaps the beauty lies not in reaching the end credits, but in embracing the journey itself. Life's tapestry is woven with the threads of dreams, ambitions, and the challenges that test our mettle. It is the ebb and flow, the highs and lows, that lend depth and meaning to our existence.
So, let us continue to live our lives as if we are the protagonists of our own epic stories, appreciating the struggles and victories, the heartaches and joys. Let us cherish the pursuit of our goals, no matter how elusive they may seem, for it is in the pursuit that we find purpose and fulfillment.
And when the time comes for the final scene to fade to black, may we find solace in knowing that we lived a life that was worthy of the silver screen, a life that was an epic tale in its own right.

"Write a small piece on how life feels like a movie, that every small/medium/large goal beyong which we cannot see seem like it will be all over after that, like there will not be any more problems after that. But new goals keep coming up, life goes on, until one day it doesn't."
