I have been thinking about this first blog ever since I started revising my website. As a matter of fact, this is the third entry I have made and hopefully, I won't delete it.
I want every blog I post to have relevance and I also want it to resonate with the majority. Do you think I feel any pressure? Just a little, huh? Well, I finally let myself off the hook by recognizing that some of you will relate, some of you will dismiss and some of you will read it because we are related and then you will dismiss it. You'll catch that one on the way home.
Seriously - these blogs are going to run the gamut on every subject imaginable. For my first entry, I want to lead with an article written by a guy that I have a lot of respect for. Recently he posted something that really struck me. I dug it so much that I immediately posted it on one of my social media pages.
It's a whole new world, people. You might as well get ready.......
I want to settle this “the millennial's are entitled” conversation. They aren’t entitled - they want to do what matters.
In the past - the opportunities we have today didn’t exist. Many times we worked to just survive financially even if we worked ourselves to death. Today it’s different. Today there’s limitless ways to earn a living and do it in a way that you love. We finally have hit a day and age where your passion can be your life - you wake up excited - you don’t care about retirement BC loving what you do means you never want to stop. Today we have the ability to earn a living and love the work we do!
This is the first generation that is questioning the status quo because they have more options than any previous generation before them. They refuse to work just to earn a paycheck. To me - much respect. I applaud them. I encourage them to keep fighting that fight. After all - they have the options (btw so do all generations now if you open your mind) - so why not do what matters!? I think gen x and baby boomers may want to take a page from their play book.
