The fire within is the undeterred passion to pursue our dream, it is our strength to move forward in the face of obstacles. We are all born with an inner flame that drives us but most choose to ignore it. It is this fire that makes up who we really are and all we have the potential to become.
The fire inside us will grow if we feed it, when it consumes us we will become our passion. It takes courage to listen to that inner desire to be free to express our true self. It takes gumption to take the first steps to find your path in the darkness.
Never let your fire fade, ignore those who say you will fail or that your dream is out of reach. Mistakes are not failure unless you let them cease your progress. Always move forward even if you have to crawl, keep moving.
There is so much more to life than mere survival, dare to dream and be a shining light for those who are lost. Live your life on your terms but never at anyone's expense. Let your fire grow, never settle for less when you know you are capable of so much more.

Risk and Reward
It is often said that the greater the risk the greater the reward, if you think about it in terms of life it rings absolutely true. If we live for a purpose greater than ourselves success will be eternal. To risk it all for the sake of our dreams is to risk our very soul.
There are no instructions to guide us on our journey only our intuition, mistakes will be made but know that falling short is never by accident. Waiting for opportunities to come our way is a sure way to never succeed. Persistence is the only way to find the path to your success.
Our motivations drive us to success, it's up to you to decide what is truly valuable in life. Wealth and power may appeal to some but in the end are a fleeting fool's gold. Our love and passion determine if our dreams are within reach.
In the end the biggest risk is accomplishing nothing in life, the biggest reward is fulfilling a dream and going to the next level. Fear and doubt are symptoms of selfish dreams. The courage to take the ultimate risk can be found in a willingness to change the world for the better.

The Chaotic Good
For as long as I can remember I've been inspired by chaotic good heroes of fiction. The most inspiring to me have always been the selfless hero who does what they know is right regardless of the law. The hero doesn't have to have super powers to inspire all that is required is a willingness to take action.
Often the chaotic good hero is a drifter who witnesses sinister actions but cares enough to take a stand and not look the other way. John Nada from the movie They Live or Dr. David Banner from The Incredible Hulk TV series are both examples of fictional heroes that cared enough to put themselves aside and take action.
The chaotic good hero does have a personal moral compass that they never go against. Take for instance the difference between Daredevil and The Punisher, both fight to protect the innocent but at their core they embody two very different aspects. Daredevil believes so greatly in redemption that it guides him to never take a life, Punisher on the other hand believes a bad apple should be disposed of.
What inspires us about a hero can teach us about who we are. It is never what a hero believes that makes them a hero, it is their actions that determine if they are righteous and ultimately who they are. Can you look the other way when the sinister strike? Will you be a bystander or a hero? To compromise who we are is to lose our soul.

Slaying Dragons
Good and Evil are very real, anyone who tries to tell you that it's all subjective is either trying to deceive you or are deceived themselves. The truth is in the spirit of things, if we break down our actions to the very basic motives we can see the true nature of things. Actions done for love can of themselves never be evil.
The tales of great men who have slain dragons and giants throughout history were not fiction. All of us as humans have the potential to stand against the greatest of enemies and triumph. We only fail when we put ourselves in a box and play by the rules.
With the knowledge of Good and Evil comes the responsibility to take action and rise for better or worse. Realizing how buried you are in the current system of control is the first step in finding the loophole needed to break free and turn the system on itself. It only takes one individual to show us the loose gear in the machine or missing scale in the dragon's belly.
The spirit is the key to winning the fight, never compromise who you are and stay true to your heart. David defeated Goliath and Saint George overcame the dragon because they had strength of spirit and they decided to take action putting their self aside for the sake of love. Overcome your demons and stand unflinching in the face of evil, become a dragon slayer!
