What do you want from life?

I always think how many people around me are actually getting from life what they really wanted to have. I am getting the habit of asking people about their dreams, their goals and their passions in life and how much are they doing to keep those dreams, goals and passions alive, how much effort they are making to actually pursue those things. It is amazing how many, many, many people give the following type of answer:

-          I don’t know what I really want from life, or

-          I don’t know how to make my dreams real, or

-          It is too late for me to achieve my dreams, or

-          I don’t have dreams, or

-          Nobody gave me the chance to pursue my dreams, or

-          Is impossible for me to make my dreams come true, etcetera

answers that I don’t understand, we are living in a rich world, a world full of opportunities, a world that belong to us, a world that was given to us, but most of the people are not living their dreams, not even trying to pursue them and is very sad to see those people, living life like spectators, while others, only a few others are taking the best from life and living it at their best. How many people I have seen that gave up so easy, probably thinking that there will be another chance to live, another world or reality where they can realize their dreams, or they may think that in heaven they will have whatever they are not able to get here, in this real world where we live.

Actually, the idea of going to heaven is actually quite dangerous for me, I do believe in heaven and I hope when I die there is such a place where we can go and rest in peace for the rest of the eternity, but heaven seems for too many people like the place where they will, one day, have the chance to make their dreams true, which make those people forget that they are living right now, and this live is probably the only thing that really exists!. Heaven could be a false hope for you if you sit down not doing anything in life to fight for what you want, waiting and wondering if there is such a place where all your dreams will become true. If it is like that, then heaven must be a mediocre place, if there is such a place where you can live your dreams without deserving it, without winning them, that cannot be the real heaven. I think that if we are not able to get what we want from life here in this world, this vast world, this huge amazing world where we live, we do not deserve to go to a place like heaven, if there everything will be free for us. Anyway, let’s go back to the main topic.

For me, the reason to be here in this world, existing in the middle of this huge universe, aware that there may be nothing else after I die, that I am just a small point in time and space in the eternal history of the universe, is that we are here to become whatever we really want to, we are here to challenge ourselves and to discover that we can be a big or a small part of the history of the world and we can be part of the evolution of the universe. For me the best reason to live and keep living is because we can challenge our selves everyday to go further, beyond the limits that ourselves or others has imposed to us since we were born, we can be whatever we want and life have gave us all the tools that we need to conquer the world, life is a game and we are the players of this game, if we choose to.

When I start to think that we probably only have one chance to live before going to sleep in eternal peace, that this chance is as short period of time that we have in the history of the universe, I think about all the people who is actually wasting their life, doing things that they don’t want to do because they have left their life in others hands, because they are lazy or cowards to go out and get what they want. What are you doing today to pursue your dreams?, what you really want to be and get from life?, how much time do you spend daily to work for your dreams, or how many excuses are you making to not go out and get what you want from life?, what are you waiting for to live your dreams?, there may be not tomorrow for any of us. Have you ever thought what you are going to tell yourself before you are dying?, when you will look to your past and will realize if your life was wasted or it was a great life?

Remember that what you ask from life is what you get. There are not impossible things, just limited minds. Start pursuing your dreams right now!, today!, wake up and follow your heart, leave all your fear and doubts behind and start looking for what you really want, because maybe, tomorrow, when you are going to be lying in a bed waiting for death to take you away, you may realized that you may have waste your life living whatever you live but not what you wanted to live. There are no excuses to not pursue your dreams!
