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.

What's your gears of change/
Have you built a system yet/
To guide you to goal/

Gears are perfect model for us to look at when it comes to setting up systems in our lives. Gears are seperate parts of a machine that work together to get work done. Have you identified the gears of your life? If not, you should. Take time to identify those driving forces in your life so that you can evaluate if they are helping you reach your purpose. This is a good step for those on this journey, because the worst thing that can happen is that you begin your journey only to find that you are going the wrong way. Believe it or not this is a common event. S/heroes set off on their quest only to find out they are going the wrong way, or doing an unnecessary task because a personal inventory, a checking of the gears was not performed.
Our personal gears may require for us to do some repairs before we begin our journey. Maybe we may need to replace or repair some. Have you been taking care of your body? Have you fallen into unhealthy habits? What have you been feeding your mind? What have you been feeding your spirit? How about your thought patterns? All of these things need to be explored before the journey, but if you are like me you have already started and will have to make your repairs on the way. You will go the wrong way, and you may fight the wrong battles. But hey, you are a s/hero you will make it. Just keep notes so that you can help other's on their journey.
