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.

As your boat of life/
Hits rough water hold on tight/
And enjoy the ride/

I cant help but to wonder when will I make it through this storm, but then I remembered that the storms may never stop, but that is OK, because with each passing storm I get stronger and better able to handle my Ship (life). I just remember who I am my purpose and realize it is not supposed to be easy. So I just look in my mirror and remind myself of these things, and work my ship until I make it to calmer seas knowing that someday another storm will come and because of this storm I'm in right now I am prepared.
So if you are struggling in a storm of your own. Batten down the hatches and sail your boat through; do your "mirror exercise" (check blog about it any question hit me up) and remind yourself of why you are here and where you are going and most importantly how much you love yourself and you will not sink. Trust me I have been there a few thousand times (not 10000 yet but I'm approaching it....hahahaha)
