INSPIRE!

GENERATION Y

Welcome back for another post all about learning,inspiring and reaching your full potential as an aspiring leader. This post is all about inspiration.

Let's get it!!

Enough said

MEDITATION

We have been discussing energy. Specifically the energy that derives from passion and conviction to either improve yourself or lead others. 

Last week was all about refining that raw energy into results and correctly honing that energy.

Please read that before you continue with the next step in our discussion. 

Here is the link for last week's post.

https://genyouthgen.blogspot.com/2020/04/use-that-power.html?m=1

We are going to end off our discussion on using that raw energy by talking about how to guide and help others unleash their full potential and use their energy.

That energy is within each and every one of us. A big issue is that most people either allow it to remain raw and unrefined. And another big issue is that other people decide to not use this energy at all. As a leader and a person who simply wants to help and guide others you must assist these people.

We have discussed the importance of this energy, how to use it correctly and how to refine your own personal energy. We have each learnt and understood our own personal energy. And because of that we are to inspire those to also use their driven and passion correctly. 

We have to project the individual lessons we have learned on others who are still to learn theirs. At the beginning of this discussion we said that to correctly use that raw hunger that we have initially, we have to teach.

And as we learn more we guide more.

A leader does not alone, a leader walks ahead and guides.

SOCIETY

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BACK TO OUR PREVIOUS POST BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!!

https://genyouthgen.blogspot.com/2020/04/use-that-power.html?m=1

Okay, now that's sorted out and you went back to read our previous post. 

You should know that we have been talking about changing the world.

We have discussed power and how we can wait until we have it and then changing the world. We discussed why we as the current youth are the most probable to change the values and standpoints that govern society.

In this post we are going to be talking about the power YOU already possess. You have influence and power. We might not be sitting in the White House or might be the prime minister of any country, but we are aspiring leaders working towards influencing change in society. And as aspiring leaders we currently are working on something, talking about something, sharing thoughts, inspiring ideas and gradually creating change.

RECOGNISE YOUR POWER. Use what you have and grow it. CONTINUE sharing your thoughts. Create change in the small places that you can create change in. It may not be the most impactful of changes but it is still a change. To recognize that you are already a leader is such a powerful tool. It allows you to grow and lead more efficiently.

Do what you can where you can. And others will do the same. We might not be the individual with the most amount of power and influence for change but there is power in numbers and we have that. 

Start changing the world today!

It takes 1 step.

POETRY

Today's poem is a repeat. It is one of our favorite here at GENERATION Y. 

We feel that it is relevant because as the world remains indoors and corona has us under quarantine, we have noticed that people are starting to give up on specific dreams and are losing motivation to push forward.

And this poem by Langston Hughes reminds us that nothing good comes from a dream deferred.

INSPIRATION

We just finished talking about the hunger you feel as a leader and today's motivation can also assist in taking away that hunger.

USE THAT POWER!!

GENERATION Y

Welcome back!! We hope all of you are being safe during this quarantine and that you are all practicing social distancing. 

Although we can't really go outside we can still talk on ways to inspire others and bring change in our individual lives and the lives of others.

Let's get it!!

Why walk, when you can fly?

MEDITATION

Last week we were discussing how to change the raw passion and emotion that we all possess into results. 

Here's a link to last week's post, in case you need to catch up. 

https://genyouthgen.blogspot.com/2020/04/more-power-to-you.html?m=1

The point we made last week was that to gain results we need to be similar to athletes.

Today we are going to take it a step further. Now that we have now trained and have begun to master our individual craft's, you will notice that you no longer feel that raw and unrefined energy that you felt initially. 

This may scare you and you will begin to question if you are still passionate. 

We all go through this stage and it is simply an indicator that we have evolved in our ways of training and leading. Now that you have gained momentum and are actually doing sufficient work that raw energy can and will no longer be used. You are starting to expand in a more refined way. And it is necessary to work in this way as if you attempt to work with that initial raw energy you will produce results at a lower quality.

As you evolve, so to will your skills, so to the refinement of your energy and so to will your results.

Sharpen your tool.

SOCIETY

Please read our previous post before you continue with this segment. Here's the link once again.

Now that we are all on the same level, let's dive into it.

We have been discussing if the youth can actually change society and the world. Last week we discussed the waiting method.

Today we are going to shed some insight on why,us, the current youth are possibly the most important group in changing today's society.

Normally, it is believed that the young generation of a particular time will take on the values and standpoint of the generation before them. This is known as the "Structural Functional Theory."

And as I've said it basically states that generally there is no drastic change in the way society is run because the youth will adopt the same standpoints and values as the generation before them.

Currently today's youth is possibly the largest group to go against this trend.

We are critical and analytical thinkers and therefore question what we are told. This level of inquisition coupled with the vast amount of information that is at our fingertips, we have developed a new trend whereby we see the flaws that the previous generation have. And that previous generation are currently the one's who possess powerful positions therefore through our scrutiny of their standpoints we are improving our own.

We are going to change society.

Our time is coming.

POETRY

Tennesse Williams was an amazing poet, playwright and writer. 

His poem that we are about to show is about how short the time he has to show his love to a person. But we want you to take the message that our time to make a difference and inspire people is short and therefore we must act now.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Today's quote really ties in with some of our topics. It speaks about true power.

"Power has nothing to do with the people. It's all about the people who don't have it." - the lady with the deep accent.

INSPIRATION

Today we are going to share the link of a passionate man whose love for poetry runs deep within him. 

He has started his own poetry competitions called "Spoken Word" and he aims to grow this platform.

Here is the link to the Spoken Word website. Please take the time to visit and share!!

MORE POWER TO YOU!

GENERATION Y

Hello amazing,beautiful, innovative aspiring leaders. We have officially returned after a few months. 

We sincerely apologize for the break we had. We were learning to improve our abilities to assist you and have therefore decided to add a new segment to our posts.

 

But you'll need to get to the end of the post to see what it is

So without further delay. Let's get it

We at GENERATION Y are here to assist new and aspiring leaders realise and achieve their full potential.

"Know your worth king"

MEDITATION

Last time we were finishing off our discussion on how to fully realise your individual potential and accepting and appreciating whatever it may be.

Here's the link to our last post. READ IT BEFORE YOU READ THIS!!

https://genyouthgen.blogspot.com/2020/01/expanding-thought.html

Okay, now that you are all caught up, let's dive into the next topic. 

We are going to discuss how to turn the internal fire and passion you possess as an aspiring leader who wants to inspire others into result and execution.

We will learn to turn hunger into results.

Now that we have learnt about our individual potential and purpose we need to push and strive constantly for it. 

To turn that raw passion that we have within us to results and executed action we need to have the mindset that athletes have.

Currently we possess an overwhelming amount of passion and power to dominate and create change in your specific field or purpose, but what really matters is results. Execution and results are the only ways we can dominate and fully realise our purpose.

So similar to an athlete who may also possess an overwhelming amount of passion to reach a level of excellence in their sport, we must train.

To train we need to ensure that every 24hours that we have is used to improve our leadership, understand it, inspire and repeat. 

We must improve the quality of our leadership if we ever strive to reach the levels that we aspire to.

Meditate on the ways you need to improve your individual aspects that align with your purpose. You can contact us personally if you would like to get personal assistance in how to improve.

Sometimes it's really that simple.

SOCIETAL ISSUES

Realise when your at the top

 "Can we as the youth really change the world and inspire change?"

This was a question we posed in our previous post .(https://genyouthgen.blogspot.com/2020/01/expanding-thought.html)

And today we will begin to tackle this question.

We engaged in many discussions with you and many others and we would like to give our appreciation to everyone that gave their perspective on the matter. 

We have concluded that there are multiple ways that as the youth we can change the world and society.

The one method is to wait. Yes, wait. We have heard many times before that the youth are the future. 

And this is true. We are. But currently we are not the leaders of the world who at a moment's notice can change something so drastically. 

But one day we will be.

The premise of this method whereby we need to wait to be in power to make any real change is patience. Although everyday society seems to be getting worse if we are to wait it out until we are in extreme positions of power we may be able to change it. 

In order to wait effectively we need to have strong convictions of the values and actions that we would want to implement once we are in power. And the biggest issue in this process is becoming hindered, losing the passion you have, and not reaching that position of power. So to wait it out we need to have deep convictions and a relentless amount of patience.

Comment and contact us about how you feel about this specific method and if you think the wait is worthwhile. 

You can contact us at: kemisomohlakwane@gmail.com 

In our next post we will be discussing other methods in how we can change our world.

POETRY

Today's poem is all about perseverence. It talks about how anything is possible if perseverence is one of your values you apply everyday. It comes from Dr. John Celes an Indian poet whose words have inspired many.

If you would like to give us one of your poems or know of a poet whose words are powerful and impactful. Please contact us at:kemisomohlakwane@gmail.com 

And we will place your poem in our next posts.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Today's quote really ties in with some of our past posts about values and really applying them everyday.

"Sometimes what you're doing isn't always in line with the end goal" - the girl that rolls her R's.

 

INSPIRATION
