[Blog]When goals become obsessions

I had a sudden insight today. Goals and desires won’t be achieved until they transform into something real until they become an obsession. Only in the moment when the only thing that you think about it’s that particular goal, only then that goal will go on the course of becoming reality.

Until then the goal it’s just a wish. Something that you say to make yourself feel good. Something that you look upon, but you never really dare to go to.

When I realised this, I was sitting on a bench. Eating some pizza and listening a podcast on my phone. Looking at the pigeons that were swarming around me.

I feel enlightenment for a moment. And I’ve realized that only the goals that became obsessions for me, were the goals that I managed to achieve. Looking back on my 27 years of life, it happened only two or three times. To have some goals that became so obsessive to me, that if didn’t achieve them, I felt the world, my world, would be finished and the sky would fall down.

This is how I make the difference between a goal and an obsession. The goal is something that you could fail. The obsession is something do or die. The obsession is something that it eats your mind and soul, day and night, one after another. It becomes the thing that you only think about. It transforms into your very own being.

On the other side, sometimes I get scared. I can’t even phantom what I’m describing here, and at the same time, I’m living it.
