Shifting Goalpost

In the youthful years enamored to the essence for the unsupressible passion for playing football, I spent the quality time in the playground every awaited evening till the sundown. Having set my aspiring goal to become a professional football player of national repute, I practiced hard year after year, but my destiny rolled a different dice. In one game carelessly I broke my leg, an injury from which I could never recover to return to the playground as an avid player, that’s how my sporting dream broke forever. On the tract of time I played instead the relentless games of life as ordained. Some I won, but many I lost in the playground of shifting goalpost.
