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!
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.
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.
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...
