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.
Besides of case when you are in jail and only one who can release you is mr president or patience and time, you can always choose how to get to your freedom.
We are all so different that not always freedom means the same to us. Some people want to shine so they drive luxurious cars and wear fancy clothes even they can not afford it, they use credit cards and take loans but this is freedom to them as showing of is a way to fulfill their dreams, at least in eyes of others. Other people never have nothing besides of peaceful mind and no stress at all which gives them freedom from financial liabilities. Some people travel a lot because spending life in one place, called home is like a jail to them, they also find their own way to feel free in life.
There can be Freedom through passion which is so powerful that spending hours, days, weeks, months or even years on it is nothing to someone who loves what he does. Building a race car or writing a book is almost the same thing. It leads to a great final and gives so much satisfaction and fun on the way to it.
So called freedom of creation is where anyone can feel like a god. Being responsible for making something what noone ever made before is such an amazing feeling comparable to first Man on the moon or world record in olympic games.
You have so many ways to become free person, nothing can stop you when you know what your personal freedom is. Go for it and never stop.
Because we are humans and only humans. Our actions have no sense often and can be cruel to all living creatures including ourselves...
We kill hope and we kill happiness without purpose, not to survive but just to make somebody down. Mother nature is our greatest enemy, even we say it's so beautiful, the truth is we don't really care for her. We raise our hands to God thinking: "I am the only god in here" and we pray to the money. We even can't be true to ourselves as every one of us wants to be somebody else!
Some of us are insane by trying every day to stop this madness with faith, hope and love. People don't fly, but heroes do. They close their eyes to see above the clouds. Anything beyond average is their world and inspiration for others.
There are just heroes and great heroes but in fact they don't differ much. Famous minds are usually great heroes, as everybody knows them and they last longer in worlds memory. Beautiful minds doing good are unknown to the people and only a few can tell their story.These are just heroes.
No matter what rank of popularity you have, remember that all heroes can fly, all you need is faith, passion and a dream which soon become your reality.
When you run through your life for dreams and goals, you are always ahead of people who waste their time by doing much less they are able to. You usually have more experience, more money, more fame and more satisfaction but what you don't have is time.
Your progress is amazing when you look backwards on own life, why to slow down, why to stop? You can't. You pushing yourself more and more and when something slows you down you get mad. Thats a feature of great leaders, champions and wealthy people, but maybe life is not only a race. Maybe we don't have to chase anybody just because the reward is so great. Maybe our race is just a fiction, a projection of own mind forced by social media and we are, they are missing something very important... Life?
When your goal is to get to the dreams you have it's a great thing, never stop! Do everything you can and don't be lazy, but remember from time to time to get a break. A break which will let you rest and show life from different perspective.
Live life of a moment for a while and enjoy those little everyday things to be confident that you are not missing anything because of your passion. Clear vision it a good plan for the future but also great time living life today, not tomorrow!
When you did what you can to reach your goal and still nothing changed it is not a reason to give up or lose motivation. Only thing you have to do is to change point of view and go forward.
Try to realize that you did more than you would expect before it all started. You are better person now and this will stay with you forever. Instead of giving up try to bite it from the other side. Create new plan, new mission and give yourself to it again with full passion and love. Again sacrifice hundred nights to build it from scratch. You should do it all different than before just for one reason:
Never let yourself to get caught up in a schema that will make you a slave of hope for the rest of your life.
In next 20 years you might try the same thing every day but the truth is you will end up with nothing more than frustration. Try to release your thinking, free your mind to create new things. Schemas are for limited people and you know what, every profesional person is limited somehow if he or she is not able to change anything, to improve or create new.
So everytime you blame yourself for not getting to the top or not being the best, remember that you already crossed the line of your abilities, by doing differently what others do the same. You don't have to do like everybody else just to look like they looked when they made it.
Stick to your freedom, not to your limited skills or possibilities. Learn more and do more but don't be blind for what you already achieved. That is the essence of life progress and everyday happiness...
Our mind is our greatest enemy. We visualize things which won't ever happen and we blame ourselves for past actions which no longer exist in present. Some people can't handle their lifes because they are absolutely under control of their own mind. They become thoughts and concerns as all they do is... thinking.
They think so much about past or future that they forget about NOW. It is the reality which thanks to our mind, place us in those roles and situations without perspectives where we schematically find ourselves constantly unhappy because of what we don't yet have or what we haven't done. Logically thinking it is bullshit, but we do it every day, even on the highest levels of financial hierarchy we can't get enough. Money won't solve problems but people still believe that rich and famous are the happiest human beings on this planet. Happiness is not a goal in life, it is a state of mind in which one can find himself by realizing that past and future doesn't really exist. Acceptance of mind as a tool, not identity, and "now" as only reality requires imagination. If you once understand it there will be no limits, schemas, roles, stereotypes, everything is possible when you know you are not your mind's slave. Reality becomes so rich and beautiful through every step you take.
We stick what we think but we think when we want, not when we have to. Mind is a tool, turn it off sometimes to enjoy world around you, NOW...
Even we can't fly there are moments in life when we are free like birds in the sky...
Yes there are, but before years of freedom there are always years of slavery. No matter where we're from, Africa, Asia, America or Europe our fathers has lost their freedom more than once in the history of the world. Every nation has experienced some kind of slavery or so called limited freedom which really doesn't exist for true men of honor. There is no difference if you are poor or rich as both can be slaves of money at the same time. One is trapped for every day struggle to survive, paying bills and looking for cheap food because he earns too little. The other one is spending so much that he has to keep his businesses in top condition all the time not to bankrupt and land on the street the next day. Chasing funds should never be your purpose, money are just a means to an end which is freedom. Some rich people just reach further and further with their needs and they are never satisfied. They think having money is a key to happiness but the truth is that only absolute freedom can make your life truly beautiful.
Slaves of wealth are not much different than slaves of poverty, all they need is money.
Appreciate all those moments when you forget about riches. Celebrate moments with your family, friends, moments with yourself and moments with nature. Enjoy that unique conscious state of mind.
Spread your wings and let the wind keep you up there as long as possible, enjoy your freedom!
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.
Only a mirror can tell you the truth. That face has to be honest and worth trust because if it's not it means you never really existed.
How can you be a true leader or role model when you just pretend to be one. It is better to stay real and not to become famous than being only a fake reflection of someone else on the red carpet. Not everyone would agree. Some most famous celebrities are just a false picture of themselves created by specialists to focus mass attention. They often forget that life is not a movie. There are no happy endings and lucky fortunes. We don't have to be nice to someone who disrespects us just like we don't have to be bad without a reason, cause it's fake.
Stop playing a role in somebody's world, otherwise you won't ever be free. Don't change yourself to fit, make them fit to you. Once you get it, life will no more be a struggle as real freedom is a pure happiness. Don't try to explain yourself to nobody, the right people will find you just like success when you do your job with full passion and attention. Sometimes it feels like, I want to believe but there is so much fake around that only person I can trust is me... and that's fine. Don't judge nobody, focus on the man in the mirror and be the best version of your true self.
Dream big but when you reach it finally take a deep breath and appreciate every minute of presence. Otherwise you'll never succeed inside yourself even the world will be applauding...
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.
Every place has it's own unique story and even if not many people knows it, it is worth to be remembered and shared. If you come from that place, you are a part of it, so never forget your roots. Times were very different 70 years ago, but we are still here because a small group of ordinary people sacrificed their existence to defend our homeland. They had no chance to win, but they had a dream.. A dream of freedom which has been fulfilled and makes us proud even today.
No matter where you are, remember where you came from and who your ancestors are.
In a crowded places like subway or street during rush hours, people walk and drive cars like robots from their home to work or other way around. Their faces don’t show any optimism or happiness, most of them look like they reconciled with their fate already.
Did they gave up?
Did they lost their hope?
You can just guess they did but sometimes between those grim masses you see cheerful faces of dreamers in different age.. These people are not there, they walk in the crowd, they drive through the traffic jam but their minds are somewhere in the sky high above the surface of average life. You see that happiness in their eyes even they try not to smile and to look normal. You can tell that they are inspiredandmotivated just because of the way they look ahead. It's their dream that makes them so unique and different in the gray society. If you ever felt this way on an average day in an average place between average people that means you are special. Even they don't know it or maybe because they don't know it they see it. When you stick to your dreamswith all the passion you have, you can be sure that wherever you go, the sidewalk is yours.
Those people choose passion and freedom to live their lives just as they always wanted. You can be like them or like rest of the world, it is your life, don't waste it for others.
