The Fight of Your Life Time

Life is not perfect.  If it were we would have all that we desire.  Imagine a life where you get all that you wish, your desires become true and you don’t have to work for a thing…  If this were life then what would we have to look forward to.  Everything that we had need of would be right there on our door steps. We would live as kings and never worry about anything.  We would have protection from our enemies and all of our battles would be fought for us.  There would be no worry or stress, no pain and no need to think. There would be no need to work because we wouldn’t have any debts.   All you would have to do is eat, sleep and be happy. 

If life were perfect… 

The truth is life isn’t perfect and if it were we would be the most pathetic creatures on the earth.  We would have no reason, no hope, and no purpose to live. We live so we can have conflict, so we can war with the things that are contradictory to who we are. We are who we are and where we are because we have a purpose.  Our purpose is to succeed in all that we do.  If we hold on to the things we desire and dream about them, they will be ours. 

Even if they never happen, we can dream. We can dream and we can fight, we can demand and we can take action.  This is what makes our existence special.  No other creature can do what we can do.  If an animal dreams, can they do what we do?  They cannot and they will not.  You don’t see animals inventing electricity, making fires, or bettering themselves in any way.  They live in a cycle where they eat, sleep, and work to survive. But we eat, sleep and dream big! We can make anything happen.  And we will if we pursue it!

We have a purpose.  We live fascinating lives where we make the decisions of our futures.   No one can take that from us.  It is our decision to pursue our dream or to travel off to another road.  We are to blame if we fail and stay down and we are to blame if we fail and then succeed.  No one else is responsible. 

What if we dream and we never accomplish what we dream?  We should be glad that we can dream.  Just because you don’t accomplish your dream doesn’t mean that it is dead.  Your dream is the finished product of what is to come.  You may be laying the foundations for your children or for the nations.  Your dream will come.  But even if would never come, at least you are not a blob of space going nowhere with your life. 

Everyone in history who has ever became famous or who has accomplished something great had a dream and they never let go of it.  I have never heard of anyone who pursued their dream and regret it.  How many books have you read, or whom in history has ever said, “I regret my decision of pursuing my dream!” No one has said it because when you chase your dream, there are no regrets.

Just because life is not comfortable doesn’t mean that life doesn’t have purpose.  We get tired and tempted to quit because we are living action filled lives.  We have too much action everyday and we just lose the excitement of life because we forget about the dream we are chasing.  We soon begin seeing the simplicity of life and all the bad. Then we forget that if the bad wasn’t here to try to stop us, where would the victory be?  If we look at the evil, we loose focus of the goal.  I don’t believe you should ignore the bad that comes our way, but instead of worrying about it, think of ways to destroy it.  We forget that we have a special ability as human beings to dream big and make that dream come true. 

Our dream is our foundation as an individual.  Our dream keeps us strong, our dream won’t let us fall because it is suppose to be.  Just because we get a little rain on us doesn’t mean the building needs to stop.  It just means that we are getting that much closer to the finished product.  Soon we will be able to relax and enjoy the dream of yesterday and begin starting a new project called the dream of tomorrow.  Our work is never done because then we would be boring.
