You can drive you life in two ways, maybe even more but I am not talking about style of driving, I mean result.
We all have the same destination which is... death, so you can drive your life to the limits and simply get there faster or you can take your time and relax to make your road longer and more pleasant. James Dean or Robert Redford? Doesn't matter as long as you know what you're doing. They were both great actors and had both good lives but only one of them became a legend. Is early death what we should be looking for then? No, because what we are really looking for, is life. Life which has a meaning not only to us but also for those who are around us. Even we think we live only for ourselves the truth is that we live for others. When you are a performer you live for your audience. When you are a star you live for your fame and fans. When you are a parent you live for your children and when you don't have a family you live for your friends. What about when you have nobody to live for... you slowly loose your sense od life. There are rebels and individuals who say they don't care what others say and they really don't. They don't give a crap if anybody here and now will appreciate their hard work, their art or any other creation. What they care for is to become unforgetable. That is what they live for as we all live for somebody. So rebels live for the stars, so they could shine after they're gone...
Are you a rebel? Choose your road to the unforgettable and stick what you live for. Life is too short to live for nothing and to leave nothing behind.
We see people who do their thing like they were infallible. They seem so good that most of us can only admire their genius in action, but there are those who knows that this is only a matter of training and focus with a little bit of talent to become that good.
Still, good is never perfect as life is too short to reach that level of skills. The truth is that even everyone else see you're doing your best and it seems far more than only good for them, only you know it is not what you want it to be or... that you simply can do more.
For example. Every day we see beautiful girls on the streets, they might have beautiful faces, hair and bodies, but there is always a kind of defect, and in most cases it's their mind. Sometimes it is a matter of character or a matter of IQ but in conclusion this amazing body is far from perfect with its shortcomings. Similarly those who are rich and wealthy and famous, can buy anything... except time with their families. Even they seem perfect businessmen and businesswomen they suck as parents by missing large part of their kids childhood.
Sacrifice is what comes to mind when perfection appears as a main target. Sometimes it is worth it, sometimes it is not but one is certain, balance is always the right solution, stick to it!
There are so many faces and situations in life, with so many smiles and good words, but also so many envy looks and fake friends between them. We don't know who will we meet tomorrow and who will they really be but we still have a choice, we can always choose... friends.
Some people change our life for better, some make it more complicated, it is a matter of experience and self confidence what choice we make in future relations. There is something obvious, If you are conscious of yourself enough, in every new relation that helps you to understand the intentions of the other person. Sometimes it takes few minutes, when in other cases lasts for days, weeks or even months. When you get older it becomes easier to recognize who to hang with and who to hang outside from your world. After so many bad experiences with people you can be amazed when a complete stranger gives you a hand and wants nothing back for his help. It still happens. Believe in people but be careful, the worst are those who fake their friendship for profit.
It is almost impossible to succeed with absolutly any help from anybody, so when you do so it means you met the right people, don't forget who they are.
Every day millions of people make decisions on the big changes in life, where half of them end up with just words and the other half take this very first step to try.
Thousands of those brave optimists continue their actions when first effects appear but just a part of them become motivated by own achievements. This is just a beginning. From this group only few hundreds are inspired enough to continue with a clear vision in mind across every own weakness, inconvenience or problem. The conclusion is that most of people are good with starting but they usually give up before finish. All those new year's resolutions are great as long as they last at least a year not just a few months or weeks.
We lose with discipline and we lose with good habits because we are lazy or we simply see no primary purpose in it any more.
Lack of inspiration to continue what you have started is like empty tank in your car on a highway through the desert. What you should do is to push your car forward and be patient, even if it's hard. Sooner or later gas station appears on the horizon and you will be able to continue with pedal to the metal to reach your goal.
But it is very possible that you will try something new and walk on your feet the opposite way leaving your car and everything you had on the side of the road. When after few years you decide to come back and ride on again, there will be nothing left, only a wreck of a great ride as a dim memory of a good plan.
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!
Human nature is to have influence on something, but we usually get this feeling that whatever we do it is nothing to be remembered. Ok, maybe we won't get attention of millions, maybe we won't rule America but our small existence is more important for few than Obama's life for the world. We always can choose whether to have positive or negative impact on our surrounding. It really depends on us what is left behind.
Sometimes one wise thought passed to just one friend, can travel all over the world because he wrote it on his Facebook board and some of his friends liked it and did the same. You won't ever know that these are your words in a tv commercial years after you said it.
It doesn't really matter if this ever takes place but it is the most important to know that your words and actions have hidden power inside.
You can inspire people or you can make them down, it is a matter of intentions...
Save some time for it every day and don't expect to be like somebody else. Don't expect anything and one day you'll become great. That greatness will be your standard and you will hardly remember the beginnings as a rookie.
Plan your goals but live a moment and don't wait for nothing. Let yourself enjoy what is here and what is now, because the truth is: it is all you ever had. Your life is not to be sacrificed to something but to master something you love for constant satisfaction and happiness.
Don't loose it because "you have to" do this or that. Only thing you have to is to remember that you can choose your way in life.
It's never too late to do it, as there is always start at the beginning...
They tell us what to wear, what to eat and what to speak to be accepted. They want to have our time our memories and our future plans. They want us to be like them, to sacrifice and never ask why. They say we have no choice.
It only takes seconds sometimes but images appear so clearly and bright in your head that you exactly know where to come back when you are lost. No one from outside will ever understand why you take this flight regularly. Some old buildings, uneven sidewalks and ordinary people.
What attract us to once again walk around the same streets without a reason and purpose?
This is what we all are, people from somewhere. We always want to come back home. We were born here and we grow up here. We know these backyards, streets and blocks better than any other place in the world. Every building has a story to tell and we have own stories from that corners and squares.
Those who don't appreciate life not only waste own existence but also their children.
Don't ever forget about your possibilities in creation before your time ends. Feel free to do whatever you want but remember where you came from and where are you going to.
Wherever we go and whatever we do, we have to always remember who we really are. We can follow other people and speak in their language but our real thoughts are different...
We travel from one end to the other through our lives but some of us have no idea that in fact we have no time for doing nothing. They wake up in their 60's asking themselves:
How this happened to me?
Did I waste my life being a puppet to the world around me?
Yes we do, as this world is too big for just one possibility.
We can create new ways of doing things and there is no corporation in the world which can predict what free person can do and when. We don't ask for new technologies, we take what we have and combine it to create. We Mix food to find new tastes, we mix skills and passions to earn more money and we mix styles to create own.. To become a free person, you have to live in your own style #3Stick
