New Year 2008 Message: "DARE TO EXIST"

This powerful phrase came to my mind when I was setting up this blog, and it seemed like a apt and powerful theme to begin the new year 2008, to meet your objectives and set your outlook for the rest of your life.
Dare to Exist speaks to existential core of our being, and applies to us at all levels - our mind, body and spirit.
There have been books written about Dare to Win, and Dare to Fail, but none about Dare to Exist, which I feel has fundamental grip on every living thing on the planet, and resonates deeply in our subconscious mind.
Winning and losing are based on man made rules of what are the boundaries of success and failure represents, but deeper that that, the struggle for survival is programmed into the fabric of our character, and every cell of your body, whether you realise it or not.
Since time immemorial, and if the theory of evolution is correct, it only points to one thing. The law of the jungle - which is survival of the fittest exists for one reason ONLY, which is to propagate life to the next evolutionary level.
Every organism on the Planet, from the cells of our body to the animal kingdom, everything that is alive wants to keep on living.
Even the branches of trees grow towards the sunlight to get the nutrients for it to grow. And when someone is injured, the whole body works towards repairing the damage. This is an invisible force of nature.
Why? Because it wants to guarantee its existence, in opposed to dying. Life itself is a struggle for existence. Every cell struggles to to claim its rightful place in the world.
For example why does the Salmon swim upstream to lay eggs, and then die enmass - such self-sacrifice is to ensure the next generation exists, even after it is gone.
If there is no such drive and will to survive, then everything will die a nautral death and get suck down the pipeline, when confronting adversity and resistance which tests the fabric of its existence.
Which is why the Rambo character is powerful, because it doesn't die easily. Rambo is not just a symbol of violence for violence sake, but it speaks about the survival of the fittest, which is at the core of our being.
Rambo is always ready, always strong, always aware, always skillful and always determined, which gives him the advantage over less defined characters.
He is superior to them when he blends into the environment, he adapts, he is skillful and strong... and do whatever it takes to win, as was mentioned in Rambo: First Blood Part II: To Win A War You Have to Become War.
This survival mechanism is progammed into the fabric of our being, and is part of our subconscous mind to guarantee our survival, and Rambo represents that part of our being who is in his elements and is totally in control of the environment.
And this struggle for existance not only affects us on a physical level - to eat, sleep, and breathe, but at a deeper level, it also speaks about your ideas, desires, hopes and dreams. They too are alive and want to see their day under the sun.
Have you often squashed your hopes and dreams, and deny yourself because you feel unworthy, or not ready to achieve your goals?
Well, like the song Eye of the Tiger says, "Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive!"
The keyword here is to FIGHT, which is the rites of passage of all living being.
Only when you dare and care enough to make it happen, will you create the result that you wish for. Like they said, if you can't find a way, create one.
So you must do something, to create something.
The law of cause and effect, instead of seeing it wash down the drain and die a natural death.
So why not keep your resolutions simple this year. Dare to exist at all levels to make your dreams a reality. Because when they exist, so do you.
YOUR PASSION, HOPE AND ENERGY IS WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE EVERYDAY.
Your life is as REAL as you make it.
GO FOR IT, and make DARE TO EXIST, your THEME FOR 2008 AND BEYOND!
