The deadline

The goal date was set. An arrow was shot into the sky.
You watched as the arrow flew up, up, higher and higher. As it became a speck, you slowly began to push your plans aside as other things caught your interest.
"I have time enough to work on that." You laughed as the thought of your goal comes to into your mind. "The arrow won't fall for a while yet!"
So other activities came and went. Your goal lay unfinished.
All the while, the arrow flew. Soon, it reached its peak.
And began to fall.
You jolt awake one night as realization strikes.
The goal's date for completion is hours away.
Frantic, you search out your goal. You find it lying in a forgotten corner, covered with dust and the grime of a job half-done.
Staring at it, you comb your mind for ideas in how to complete it in time.
But none come.
For while you were idle, the desire that fueled the goal burned out.
And now, the arrow hits.
The deadline has come.
What do you have to show?
