A passion driven by millennials or millennials driven by passion?
Perhaps not my biggest passion, but something I am interested in and believe in, is the millennial way of life. This so called ‘way of life’ defies a generation ran by creativity and happiness. Why is this important to me you may ask? Because we are right in the middle of a major mentality change and I am in the drivers seat.
An Elite Daily article gets it mostly right — with the exception of the stereotype we are all potheads. Millennials are compared to hippies in the sense that we are free spirits who would rather work towards our passions than work for a promotion.
“Hippies have just become hipsters. Black rights have become gay rights, women’s liberation is now Jezebel, and Vietnam is Iraq.”
We are the free spirits and the voice of the future. You wont find millennials turning off their curiosity. To us, there is no fear of the unknown. We wont be a society hung up on traditional values or prejudices. We will be a society ready to welcome differences and embrace changes in the way we love, work and revolutionize.
This generation has the power to instill a massive change in world and influence generations to come. We could take after our parents and end up unhappy with only a desk job to show for our lives. Or we can integrate work and life and fight for the rights of everyone. We are a generation full of educated yet open-minded people. The Elite Daily article labeled millennials as “Passionate kids with an idea of living life another way.”
And that is exactly what we are doing.
