Don't Just Win the Battle; Win the War

There are things in life that people will fight for. Everyone has something different , and it's not the thing that matters. It's the will to put everything on the line and fight to the death for it. If you're not willing to fight for the things you believe in, your beliefs aren't strong enough. If you're not willing to put it all on the line for something or someone you love, it isn't real love. If it is important; if it truly means something to you, you will do whatever it takes to make sure it is a success. If not, you'll come up with reasons as to why you weren't successful. Fight for the things you believe in, no matter how hard it will get.

It's the Little Things

This picture really speaks for itself, but think about it this way. It's the little things in life that mean the most. All they did was bring this homeless guy a decorated tree and some little gifts. Look at how he reacts. It wasn't that they gave him amazing things. They gave him some food, water, a blanket and some shoes. Those aren't extravagant things and yet he is completely and utterly happy.
We don't have to give people amazing and extravagant things to make them happy. It's always the little things in life that people remember way down the line. It's those little things that make such a difference in people's lives.
Go out and do something for someone. Even if it's just giving a compliment to a random stranger, do it. It will make their day as long as it is sincere and genuine. Go and make someone's day a little brighter.

Faith in Humanity Restored

This is a very simple story. Not many people would really think about it. They'd read it, get a little emotional, and go about their day.
But really think about it. This brother, Noah, was eight years old. He trained specifically so he could bring his six year old brother with him through a triathlon.
How many kids do you know who has this kind of love and devotion? How many people have this kind of selflessness?
Noah loved his brother so much that he was willing to put in five months of extra work to bring his brother with him. He worked hard in order to include his younger brother.
When going through life today, remember Noah. Remember the selflessness he had. Remember his dedication and love for his brother.
If an eight year old little boy can do something that selfless, what excuse do you have to be selfish.
Be selfless.

simple as that.

Never be satisfied.  Never be content.  Never stop at ‘good enough.’

You’re better than that.

Reach beyond the stars.

Reach a goal?  Set another.

You can always do more and be more.

I would bet that everyone reading this has wondered what the purpose of his or her life will be.

What do you want to be?  What type of legacy will you leave?  Why are you alive?
