Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

What are the limits you believe you face in your life? Coming from a Warriors perspective more than likely they are illusions that you have developed in your life. Remember some times we have to step back and look at things differently. To help us with this it's sometimes good to have a coach (shameless plug) to help us with these break throughs. A coach can help you keep going in the part of these illusions, and help us pull up if the limit is real.
I can remember in my younger days when i played sports or practiced martial arts. My teacher (coach) would always be able to push me to what I thought was my (physical and mental) limits, and help me work through them. These were powerful moments that I had in my life and never forgot, they still inspire me today.  People can see the  usefullnes of coaches when it come to working out, and for competitions sports. But we can't see the usefulnes of a coach when it comes to dealing with inner issues (emotional,mental, spiritual and etc.).
When we run into barriers how do we know what is real and what is not. This is a skill that we have to develop within ourselves that can only come with us learning as much about ourselves as we can. The ironic part of this , is that we learn the most when we run into these limits. These limitations arise and we have to push through them and at the end of the struggle we learn something new about ourselves and abilities. The power of a skilled coach is that he can determine right away  what is a real obsticle and what is an illusion. S/he can also help you identify the cause of the illusionary obsticle and help you eliminate it for yourself.
For us to be able to manifest what we were born to do we have to be bold, and brave enough to face these limits push through and embrace the power that was always with in.
