What is a Soldier?

A soldier is a person who can handle any situation calmly thrown at him by life. These situations could be fair or unfair. It don't matter to a soldier, he will survive it. A soldier also takes on new challenges just to challenge himself, just so he can rise to new heights by overcoming new obstacles. A soldier's main purpose is to make this world a better place. This is God's world but God has given every man a choice and there are some that choose to be bad and thus these people can hurt many. It is a soldier's job to fix as much of this as possible. He can achieve this by being a people builder, building people back up that have been hurt or destroyed by others. Putting back what has been broken so people can become what they were meant to be. A soldier loves everyone regardless of their opinions towards him. This is what makes him a soldier, doing onto others as he would have done onto himself regardless of current weather. It is a soldier's job to bring out the best in people so they know they are better than they currently feel. A soldier also makes sure that he carves his own space in this world. A soldier knows that he is only limited or unlimited by his imagination. He understands that is takes time and effort to changes things, especially within himself and therefore he must remain patient while he works on his new self. The self that is on the inside. A soldier knows he can change anything in this world by changing that on the inside of himself first. He lives by the quote "If we want to change the world, we must first see that change in us". A soldier knows the only limits to his ability are the ones put on by time and by taking the time he can change this too. A soldier loves unconditionally especially his fellow human and judges none. A soldier is not effected by what others opinion of him. He knows what he is and what he ain't. He draws the line in the sand of life. A soldier sets his own goals by what is right and not by what is possible. He knows he can defy any rule and rise to heights new to mankind and this he knows makes way for others to follow. A soldier knows if no one will then he must regardless of the feat. A soldier knows that he alone carves out his life and that he is always in full control and the master of his destiny and blaming others is just an excuse to cover up what he missed. But a real soldier can see past this and knows that no one is perfect but they must strive for perfection if they want to be true soldiers. A soldier is never too proud of himself but he does rise to the occasion when needed and slips quietly away.
