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.

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!!
