A slight difference between those two types of people is that one of them are trained soldiers and the other are natural born fighters. Soldiers are a part of organized army. They ensure safety and keep everything in order just like they were told. They are punctual and obey and actually are more like robots than human because that is what big corporations and governments expect. Their lifes are planned without bigger changes as they follow most popular social models of behavior. When they're gone they leave nothing besides bank account number, some private goods and a few memories defined in one sentence: ...was a good man. Fighters can be a good men or women too and they usually are, but they simply can't submit to any schematic requirements. Even they had to go the same way as soldiers, from the same schools to the same companies, they were always considered outlaws by the society. The only reason for that was their passion for freedom which pushed them to fight with everyone and everything that is limited on this world. When they pass away they leave something to think about for the next generations. Average people don't understand fighters but they admire soldiers. There is nothing strange about it because they want to feel safe and comfortable whole life even for a price of truth and realness of their own self. There is another difference... soldiers fight for somebody while fighters fight for themselves. They fight for their dreams!
You'll know that you met a fighter when you see one, it is visible in his eyes... or maybe, one day somebody else will tell you that there is a fire in your eyes too.
We all unconsciously follow new trends or new ideas and that is normal, we call it fashion, but passion is something that cannot be followed. It has to be admired.
You will only find it in heart not in mind. It is something constant and stable so every day this pure desire to do things remains the same. True passion will last longer than any global trend or social idea. People sacrifice their lifes to be able to do what they truly love.
Some say that not all people have it and they might be right, but we believe it is a part of every conscious existence even if it's hidden. The only thing to do is to find it. Which is no that easy, sometimes it takes years or even a lifetime. Fashion can be one's passion of course but to create, means to combine everything you know in your own unique way to build something different, something completely new. It has nothing to do with following trends or habits. Only those who dare to cross the line because of true passion and faith in their own ideas are pioneers and creators, everybody else are just on repeat mode.
Don't worry what people say, stick to your true passion. It is in your heart, not in their minds...
In every moment of life there is a space for being better but also for being worse. It is a matter of choice if we improve ourselves or become inferior. But who can really decide what is good and what is bad if we are all so much different as people and so much similar as mammals.
Lets make it simple, everything we do beyond our lazy comfort zone is progress. Everything we don't do because of bunch of excuses is progless and it makes us feel bad.
We all have egos as it's impossible to completely get rid of it. Your ego hurts when you stop, because it always wants more. The best way to satisfy it for a while is to learn, gain knowledge and master new skills. Constant progress in life is nothing bad and it feeds your ego regularly. Self development makes you feel proud of yourself. It gives you confidence that you can do anything you dreamed of.
But... don't try to think about future goals all the time, focus on little steps which you make now, as they will guide you to your destination. Contemplate present moments and never give up. This will keep you happy today and it will amaze you tommorow.
There are no limits, you will progress in most difficult areas every time you spend some time on it. There is no way that you can't do something if you care, because progress is nothing more than passion and consequence. When you care it always happens!
