Dreams are not social

Because social dreams are not dreams any more. These are only a projections of someone's visions stolen by non creative minds. People see something and they say: it's me, i think the same, i want it just like the other person... 

Thats how we see a massive population of young people who dream about money and fame without any particular goals or reasons. Oh sorry they've got goals: tattoos, Mercedes G-Class, penthouse, top models, jet plane and so on, but are their real dreams hidden in they subconscious. Is this something they will ever find? Maybe when they get old and realize that what they did with their lives was not what they really wanted, but who cares...

If you want to be a hipster and you make tattoos all over your body plus all this funny clothes and beards you can make you dreams come true very easily. If you want to be a fitness god, just take 2-3 years of hard regular training plus healthy food plus supplements, out of your life and you will make your dream come true, not easily but nothing what can't be done by anybody. 

But these are not drems, these are trends and trends are social.

Remember real dreams are yours not theirs. Dreams are something you have in your mind and heart since you started to speak. Most of them are unconscious and it is only you who can realize what they are before you loose your youth and then life. Don't be ashamed of what you dream of, even if it's not going along with current trends.

Stick to your Real dreams, find them and don't tell nobody as it is your greatest secret and secrets shouldn't be social.

Let me tell you a story

Once upon a time there was a man who believed that he is special and much more important than others around him. His ego made him strong and bossy so he naturally become someone very important... Natural born leader as they say. His friends didn't like him because of his selfishness and pride but there was nobody brave enough to tell him the truth, or maybe they simply knew he didn't care anyways.

The most important thing in his life was this so popular dream of all humanity to become rich and famous. It took him almost ten years of sacrifices and hard work to finally get to the place where everyone is famous, rich and... lonely. 

Why lonely? 

Because all of his closest friends where fake and they just needed his money and power to reach own goals. He had no family as his parents died long time ago and he had no children too because it was nothing to think of for such busy and successful Man called himself free bird.

He spent milions of dollars on cars, houses, yachts and women but couldn't get enough. Happiness never came to his life for more than a while. Thats why he used to say: there is no such thing as love or passion it's an illusion as only wild sex, hard drugs and a stack of money can bring you 5 minutes of joy. He died in the age of 40 because of heart attack.

Although the next day television informed about this tragedy and few days later his funeral became famous because of all the important people, he was never mentioned again by any of them...

This is nothing discovering, we all know why it happens all the time for so many people in the world. There are things which are more valuable  than being great. There are other people who can tell your story one day, not because you deserved it but because it's different.

Stick to the right things in life and tell me your story, you'll become a legend one day, I promise.

Before the darkness comes

In the light of joy, I see my life shining every day, but on the other side of the road I stay blind and hopeless for the rest of my hours...

This could be some cheap poetry of a weak writer but it is only a metaphor for everyday struggle with own mind like we all know. What your mind thinks? Ask yourself this basic question every time you feel you can't take it no more. Every day for every good thought one bad appears but always try to take it positive because balance is the key. Finding positives in negatives will make your mind ashamed and from that moment nothing bad could be your projection any more.

It is certain that we want to progress everyday, we want to achieve more and be supported by more people. What usually occurs in reality is that we are all alone with struggle, giving everything we can and seeing just a small trace of progress in every action taken. What's more we see other people who made it and instead of being more motivated we start to doubt... 

But what do you need it for? You are not them, they are not you, only you know what makes you happy. Don't try to be somebody, be yourself!

What about dark side of the road, when you walk to the darkness without hope, when you see nothing but disaster. This is the place where destiny is written from the very beginning and all you can do is to pretend you'll make it by deceptive creation of future... Yes it is terrifying, but because we travel through our lifes we visit many different places and not all of them are sandy beaches. 

The most important is to remember where you going as through all the dust and dark clouds you can always notice a small glimmer of light which in just a second can destroy all doubts and fears. This is a power of dreams because our biggest dream is to mean something before the darkness comes...

Stick to your dreams, never give up, fight your demons everyday!

I'd rather mistake and learn than act perfect and burn

If you feel you are perfect you must be an idiot or your ego is just a little bit bigger than Universe, anyways it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for being such a great person it's just impossible for you to make a mistake... and gain any progress too right?

Well fortunately most people are different than that maybe they are not THAT special but still special in their own real way. What makes us humans, is that we all make mistakes. We learn how to do better and better by stumbling everyday. We don't born with knowledge and wisdom as IQ doesn't matter if you ain't scientist. 

Nobody is perfect even you think they are. Image of your own self in social media is just an image. You are the only person who knows that behind that perfect body, perfect style and perfect friends there is someone who is sometimes scared, uncertain, lonely and unhappy too because not all we do succeeds.

Mistakes are good and being brave enough to admit that you fucked up something is an art of truth and a proof of wisdom (not IQ as even a genius can be a dumb egocentic).

A path to mastery is always difficult and long, a faultless process is an absurd. Do not afraid to be wrong sometimes, those who act perfect don't know what freedom is. They are lost in their dream image of themselves while true life is running away. 

Be as good as you can by giving one hundred percent every time you do something and always stay real. If life is your school, mistakes are your most valuable lessons...

Face all days

There are days when you are great and days when you feel worse than ever, challenge them all. Don't ever let your ego to destroy you by too much self confidence and pride. Success is not an end it's just a beginning.

Watch out for being too humble to what you've already achieved. Don't let nobody and nothing to take control over you. Happy life is understanding of different situations, behaviors and ability to keep everything balanced in your own world. Building environment by gathering the right people over you is the best way for dreams come true.

Sometimes days are grey and inexpressive but don't get depressed too easy, after the rain the sun comes out. Even the most difficult moments bring experience and knowledge to your life. Patience is what keeps every dreamer alive. You have to survive the worst times just like you appreciate the good ones. We don't choose place where we born and we don't choose childhood but we can choose life and happiness instead of hopeless misery.

Every day is different, even you feel like nothing changes, the world is not the same tomorrow. Take a part in it, get up, stand up, tell them what you believe, stop being everyone else. Create your own life just like you always wanted. But, when finally you enthusiastically decide to do it, remember that it won't be easy, it never was. 

Be ready for the good and for the bad times, be ready to face all days...

Beauty of all doesn't mean beautiful

What is beauty in fact if it is not what we see in the first place... or maybe it is only what we see and everything else is just ugly or common?

We see beauty in people, clothes, cars, styles, art, and actions. Sometimes because of tattoos on shapely body, sometimes because the material is soft and has a great color. We see beauty in anything from smartphone to a bottle of coke... Have we forgot what beautiful is? Maybe we've just lost the empathy and attention to what really matters.

Some places are really beautiful but most are just different from our homelands and that is why we admire them so much.

The most difficult thing is to see beauty in people who, in the social norms are considered poor or ugly. This is something we are ashamed of most, but this is also something that makes us the most human in the world of fake.

A beautiful pics on Instagram, of a beautiful 16 year old girl (selfies of course) on a beautiful holidays in beautiful mountains with beautiful boyfriend and beautiful friends dressed beautiful in expensive clothes, doing snowboarding and drinking beer having fun all day... Isn't beautiful?

Now how about a girl same age who instead of parties and fun during winter holidays is going to run through whole two weeks 50 kilometers on her own feet to help 4 year old child, who has a cancer no hair and no money for further therapy. She runs from one city to another to make people see how important it is to help others. Gaining attention for those who can't wait, is her life goal. No Instagram, no selfies, no rich friends and you know what, she's not even beautiful... She is a beauty itself.

Make good every day and be beautiful for yourself.

Stop dream about life, live with a dream

We may not be happy with our jobs or life partners, we may feel like there is a better life for us or like we deserve more because we were born to mean something. We may feel lonely and lost but we can't forget it's not over...

It is never too late to find a purpose and change own life for it.
All people have dreams as kids, even when grow up too, but after few years of regular job they start to forget or maybe just lose hope. They focus on routine and schemat of being a part of the society. 
They not only become a part of the group but rather a group itself. This is who I am they say, knowing nothing about who they really are. Their dreams no longer exist as they have been replaced by social rules and labels given by role models they follow. Facing reality might be depressing but living somebody's life is hopeless.

Even in the worst days, weeks, months or maybe sometimes years we cannot forget what we are living for. Boring job, annoying wife, fake friends can't kill one's original vision. They only blur it for a while, but you are who you are and never let them force you to dream about what they have or what they dream to have.

Go through your life with pride and confidence because as long as you know what rest of the world have no idea of, you are still yourself. 

Even living next to them, you have your own dream... Get it one day, life is to short to wait for the best moment. 

Stick to yourself!

When we meet the right people

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.

Stick to your true friends!

Fire in your eyes

There are those who exist to be a piece of a puzzle and those who resist to fit in this frame. 

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.

Alone with the struggle, together with happiness

Every problem in our life has just one source, our mind. It is created by one, feed by one and has to be solved by the same one... yourself. 

Life is not only struggle, but also joy and happiness, although people seem to create problems for purpose. They love to be down and unhappy so every new problem is just something worth live for. Whole process is initiated by mind and regulated by mind so mind really takes over the control of human life. In fact mind is just a tool which we should be able to turn on and off in the right moments to be more conscious of our own existence. It is not easy at all but it is certain that we have to deal with it alone.

Joy and happiness is different, we want to share it with others. When you have someone important in life who cares about you, struggle becomes much easier when happiness appears. 

In a group of people with the same mindset problems seems to fly away somehow. Feeling of strong connection with other person is a huge motivation and inspiration for life. What is one problem of yours when hundreds of minds are here for the same positive reason which is accidently also your goal.

When you struggle through your life all alone to find happiness, always remember that there are milions of us on earth doing exactly the same thing every day...

Human right to be right

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.

For every request and every order, we say no, because we stick to what we think. If there is truth out there it must be freedom and we have right to be free.

Whether at school, church or big corporation you don't have to be one of them, because you are simply always yourself. Some things we do in life as they must be done but it is only a way to achieve personal goals. Nevertheless being faithful and true to own beliefs makes us strong and fearless on this lonely road.

No matter what the group says and what they think of you the truth is only one and you have the right to stick to it... 

That simply makes you free.

Local heroes

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. 

Remember your heroes.

One of a million or one on a million

We are always responsible for our choices. There is nobody else to blame for the bad consequences or great results than yourself. Weather you follow trends or stay loyal to the classic it is your choice witch way you go and who you finally become. 

Most people just want to be a part of a bigger group to feel comfortable and safe. A few individuals choose their own lonely style and become strangers for the society. Both want to be special, but only a few are really unique.
Those weird people, who choose danger and life struggle, refuse to be a part of any corporation or social organization. They go alone through their life, until they meet people like them.

Because of their individual visions of the world, they set new trends, ideas and new ways for others. They are different, so they think different. They create because this is their purpose.

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.
