When we were born we did not have anything with us, we had nothing and were nothing, but immediately began to build, we build a self to differentiate ourselves from our mother, who until then were part physiologically and functionally, we build special features in our body, leaving a more plump, others thin and so forth. Thus, even before having a structured consciousness, we already were builders.
And we continue to build as the days turned into months and months became years. Know and recognize the world and we construct a model of it in our minds, including our expectations. Construct ideologies, relationships, projects and dreams, and we became adults.
The adult type, in the fullness of its maturity, know that the world is complicated thing: too many variables, each one stranger than the last, many generalized anxiety, too many forces and the immeasurable vastness that is the universe. The adult type learns that it has control of their lives and understand the above, in full maturity, no longer practical to build and draw on what others have already built. Installed in the comfort of what was already established.
Learn that man proposes and, finally, is your god who has.
and correct. No one could claim to have total control over their lives. Not know what awaits us just around the corner, we know how much longer life, we have no guarantee of ... nothing. Thus, life becomes one of two possibilities, the first is to accept life and take what they give you, without submitting to idle yourself to frustration and unhappiness. You have to accept what we are and what we have, be happy with how little or much that we have had, and live in expectation of what the tides bring up our hands there.
The formula is good, it works. Dozens of hundreds of men and women in the world can not be wrong.
The second is an endless act of faith. To live is to build skyscrapers on sand dunes, waiting for our foundation encountering rock and there is nothing in the world that can overthrow. We do not know what there is in store for us, we are not confident enough to project inevitably our future, we have nothing but hope. There are so many dozens or hundreds of men and women who take this truth and replace uncertainty with faith: faith in themselves, faith in destiny, faith that if you have built to collapse is reached, they can begin again erecting something similar to the previous, but different, enhanced by the experience of first attempts.
build your life is to make a commitment to the future, under a certain void of the universe there to kick you out of hand. Is confident about the evolution and acquire the tools to go our way, trusting that life corresponds positively to the effort invested, if not always apparent to the naked eye.
Both possibilities are effective, both work and both are good in every sense of the word, but as paths to follow in life lead to different destinations. The first possibility is to live in the expectation, is to adopt a passive role, and is to be as big or as small as we assume that the vast world allows the second is live in the certainty (although you never really enough), is to take an active role, and is to be as big or as small as yourself it has proposed.
One is the path of the martyr, the other belongs to the hero.
The martyr is realistic and does not engage with uncertain projects that do not have to win, and how few projects have them, live in anguish because no perceived control over their own lives, but look to other people, institutions, jobs that den existential stability and promise that your life will pass with the lowest incidence of mishaps. The martyr what characterizes his quest for peace, and in the meantime, consider that their failures are the responsibility of another, and their victories ... are also responsibilities of another.
After all, he does not build, it only takes what life gives timely.
The hero, meanwhile, is capable of throwing down a ravine to get what you want, you can go with the least certainty, and the truth is that I always find one to keep going. The hero has taken hands, mouth calls and willingness to improvise, get up and try again, can afford to jump into the void, because he knows that giving is never mandatory.
That is the certainty of the hero, hidden knowledge that allows you to realize the future you might think: they know that no matter the difficulty, you'll find the resources to get ahead. This justifies his act of faith. In your case life is intriguing, the unknown excites and surprises him, his life is a quest for wholeness, and in the meantime, endorses his victories and evaluates the level of success in their failures, error or success, both will inexhaustible pretexts for learning.
Finally, "hero or martyr?, There really is no person who is either a persistent, each one goes from one extreme to another in the continuum according to their mood, the situations, the tools that have so far. Often, however, we moved closer to any of these points and from there we deal with life as heroes or martyrs.
That's why sometimes we look at what we have and see that this aspect of what we built was not what we would have liked, we just take what the tide dragged and thus we build our lives, or we allow a man makes in our place, only to have something built. Or sometimes we see that, basically, this is what we always wanted to see built, we seek the elements, and elaborate exchange necessary to make it fair to the extent of our desire. Every day
there are people who fear because they believe that any wind can knock them down, because since they are built not actively do not know the extent of their resistance to the onslaughts of life take to the streets fearing suffer anxiety about possibility of being assaulted way to the store, invent fatal injuries, collapsing face of uncertainty, for having sought to avoid the same uncertainty. They are the absolute martyrs, but actually are small.
absolute heroes are also scarce.
is generally a matter of choice: leave the nest life experiences for us and then build us a Frankenstein, or go to the search requires the experience we need and with them build a monument. Life built as a monument ... it all depends if you choose or not to take the risk, and finally, it is never mandatory fail.
