The Fight Called Life

"We're all in the same boat, Staying afloat for the moment.We walk the plank with our eyes wide open..." - Gotye

In this fight called life, we may sometimes feel we're lonely but one should always remember that he/she is NEVER ALONE. That quote above is a perfect example of how we're all in the battle amongst the negative forces of the universe, but we must NEVER FORGET THE POWER IN POSITIVE. Its safe to say that in life you should expect the unexpected; i.e. "sh*t happens","OMG", "WTF", etc. With that in mind, you still have to LIVE! Our life experiences are what shape us as individuals and with that in mind we are responsible for what maintaining sanity and seeking balance when life throws us a curve ball. Its does not matter who you are or where you're from, life HAPPENS!!!

DEFENSE

We may feel like we are constantly defending ourselves from:

SOCIETY

Constantly trying to label/place people in mass categories in order to mask the concept of individuality. I get the idea of owning up to a "title/label" in order to relate with other individuals to establish relationships, but wanting to box some one up with a mere label when humans are much more complex than having a singular title. 

Family/Friends

Constantly trying to break free of the thoughts/ideas and expectations/goals of our friends/family. Sometimes our loved ones may have dreams/goals for us that we may not want to pursue and we are forced to defend wants/beliefs/ideas against the people who we need the most support from. Sometimes our loved ones get so caught up in what it is they think is the best for us, that they tend to forget to that each person has to LEARN how to  live and LEAD his/her own life. Although our loved ones want "the best"for us , they have to remember that experience is the best teacher. 

Relationships

Constantly defending ourselves in our everyday relationships. We all maintain a variety of different types of relationships with several categories of people, for example: 

• Business- Partner/Boss/employee/coworker/customer/consumer
• Family- parents/siblings/etc.
• Friends- acquaintances/ associates/ FRIENDS 
• Intimate- Spouse/Life Partner/ Significant other/ etc.

Within any of those relationships mentioned above there are expectations, from each side of the relationship. When we are wronged/offended by someone, we innately defend ourselves against that person; It could be as simple as someone forgetting to keep his/her word or as complex as deception or manipulation. We have to learn to be more perceptive to life's lectures and by evaluating self in order to determine where to GROW from every situation.  

OFFENSE!!!

One of the best offense tactics in the fight of life is to FIND BALANCE WITHIN YOURSELF. Once you start fine tuning your character, you will attract all things complimentary (i.e. people/good fortune/ love) to your character. Seeking self balance alone can be the key factor in resolving most of your conflicts/battles with life.

 

By focusing on being a balanced individual you will be focusing on yourself in general. You will also learn to trust your own ideas/feelings/intuition and also be able to be more perceptive of your environment, simply because you're more in tune from within. The magnitude of your self control will also increase because when you're are balanced from within, you are naturally more grounded/centered and in-sync with the universe.   

 KEEP IT MOVING!!!!

Remember that you are not the only one fighting the good fight! Positivity, preparation, and FAITH are all the ammunition you will ever need. Treating others as you want to be treated is an example of how to prepare (helping those in need, being honest, having integrity. etc) because you always get back whatever energy it is you put out into the universe !
