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 ...

Change your view

Blessing and road blocks/
are two faces of same coin/
Simply change your view!/
Are you being confronted by a blessing or obstacle. It all depends on how you look at it. Could it be that many of us miss out on our blessing because we are looking from the wrong viewpoint? We are only seeing one side of the cosmic coin. We begin to think what we are seeing or experiencing what is real when in fact it is only half of reality.
The best news in the world for those that are on this journey is that reality flows between two opposite poles. What this means is that all situations that we end up in are dual. We just have to b e wise enough to see. Our elders always said things like "every cloud has a silver lining", and etc.. It is impossible, I repeat impossible for anything to exist in this universe that does not have some interaction with the poles. In other words every situation and thing has a positive and negative side. We just have to find them. So every blessing has an obstacle and every obstacle has a blessing. I know that this is hard to believe. We exist in a wondrous universe that once we understand the laws we can apply them and get results. This is one of the first to master.
Now this law does not demand that we become stoic or consistently happy. What it helps us to understand is that we have the personal choice to find or ignore opportunities at will. Hell, most of us do this anyway (have any challenging relationships in your life). On this journey the longer you travel the more power you get, so keep it moving, and continue to grow.
