Life, a miracle or just a waste of time?

Have you ever frozen the time inside your mind, clearing the present, clearing your thoughts, and given full focus on that one thing?

Imagine that one thing being life.

Whether we've been blessed by a god or if we've evolved from a cell, we should still embrace the miracle of life. It's not the skin and bones that makes us human, nor decides who we are. It is what your mind tells you, that decides whom you are and whom you should become.

I want to focus on a term called dreams.

Dreams can be defined as the meaning of life. Dreams are what makes you push forward through hell, shitstorms and what can be called meaningless wandering...

I know that every person on this planet has a dream, whether it's about providing it's family the water and bread it's in the dire need of, or living through the age of 20. As a norwegian, I live the dreams of many. What dreams remain if I have it all?

I've started asking people in my social circle what their dreams are. What is worth fighting for in their life? What is burning inside their heart?

In an attempt to provoke either happiness, hatred or even sadness - I'm still stuck with the same answer. "I don't know..."

As we try to find out what our dreams are, others already start dreaming at birth. Their future decided - realize your dream or you won't live to see your parents die of the same disease you, yourself are born with. A dream resulting in a nightmare.

Children are entitled to a childhood, a childhood where dreams are about being a moviestar, a president or a race-car driver... and being given a chance to live out their dreams.

As what mentioned above is what blazes my heart, I can't go a day without thinking about it.

I have cornered my self several times, asking - are we worth having this beauty called life if we aren't able to live it correctly?

The answer to this is easy - stop crying about nothing and focus upon that one thing that you can't go a day without thinking about. One day, you will live to see your dreams become true.

I hope one day, my mind will smile as much as my face.
