Life as a Battlefield

When soldiers go to the battlefield they stretch their courage and fighting spirit to combat the enemy. they can do and commit things they never thought about doing them in the normal civil life. They can fight and even put themselves in the middle of the danger which could be fatal to their lives for the seek of their country, their peers, or just to occupy a spot of land which might be considered a strategic spot.

We read everyday about that as normal daily news about the war here and there and tens or hundreds die under as causalities because of that.

I was wondering all the time which this fighting spirit is shrinking and vanishing in the civil and normal life and shows up only in the battlefield.
If people can die for their countries or to save their peers or for a certain cause they may or may not believe it or even fully understand it, why they can not show the same fighting spirit for more clear causes like fighting the life challenges for their own selves.

What is more precious than one's life.

Life should be the main battlefield for each individual.
Even though the enemy is not well portrayed and realized like the clear enemy in the battlefield and the weapons are not that clear and things are taking totally different forms.

The person should face the life with this fighting spirit to achieve his goals.
He should replace the gun with his strengths and his capabilities.
Enemy should be replaced by the challenges and obstructions facing him.

If sounds even irrational and unreasonable behavior of the human being if they can kill themselves for a cause like saving their countries form the enemy or for religious purposes but they are lazy to save themselves from their own personal problems or they don't have the self-esteem to excel in their career or to achieve prosperous and decent life for their families.

We are somehow inclined more to fight for others than ourselves when it comes to the clear physical battlefield or when it is life threatening situation.

I would say life is full of implicit battles which the one has to fight as a real soldier in them.

The enemy is hidden or is taking more camouflaged forms though he is more dangerous because he in many times is our own selves or our friends or even families or our own problems.

Success in life shouldn't be an option but should be survival or life or death matter.
It should be a vital matter and failure should equal to death.

Taking each matter in life in highly serious approach will develop if the person acts a soldier in the life battlefield.

Nothing is more important than me.
I'm the most important and precious person in this world for myself.

I deserve all the fighting power for myself.

I will win this long fighting battle and I will go in a fierce way in each round.

Whatever the opposing enemy I will win.

I will not be that soft in life where the soldier who is fighting for himself should be aggressive.

Struggling and striving should be in the daily life. In the life front.
