Masking the Goal: Finding Purpose Beneath the Illusion of Achievement

By Anthony Ofem

We all chase something. A dream. A name. A version of ourselves polished enough to belong. But somewhere along the way, we forget why we began. Masking The Goal is a haunting and luminous exploration of ambition, identity, and the quiet tragedy of self-forgetting. It tells the story not of one person, but of every soul that has ever traded authenticity for acceptance, passion for performance, or truth for applause. Through poetic reflections and symbolic storytelling, the book unravels the masks we wear - the faces we build to survive in a world that rewards appearance over essence. Each chapter is a mirror, inviting readers to confront the illusions they've built around their goals and the hidden longing beneath them. But as the layers fall away, something profound emerges: that the goal we were chasing was never out there - it was within us, waiting patiently beneath the disguise. Masking The Goal is not just a story; it is a quiet awakening - a call to remove the mask, reclaim the self, and rediscover the simple, sacred joy of becoming real.
