This is Our Generation

Our.

Our generation.

This is our generation.

Our.

Do you know what ‘our’ means? It means that everything that our generation does associates everybody. It means that the reputation that our generation has is our reputation. It is our reputation – no matter what that reputation is. It is our personality – no matter what that personality is. It is our definition – no matter what that definition is. This is our generation. Yours and mine. Every young person. This is our generation. Take it or leave it. But it is all of ours together.

And, you know what? That excites me more than it bothers me. It really does.

Maybe it bothers some of you to be associated with certain aspects of our generation. I mean, no generation is perfect. But our generation has something unique about us that makes us incredibly different than any other generation: we are all in this together. This is our generation. We are communicating. We are connecting. We are combining. This is our generation. And that is the part that excites me – it excites me more than anything else.

I really don’t know if I am explaining this concept very well or not (I guess that is why we have blogs – kind of a test run at writing down ideas and thoughts!). I am just trying to paint a picture of the potential and the power of This Generation due to the fact that we are in this together. We are the most unified, connected, and conversing generation ever. We have the ability to make a difference in the world and to make the world a different place. And we have the heart to bring justice, love, and peace to a world that desperately needs all three. We can do amazing things. We were born into This Generation for such a time as this. And we control the destiny of our generation.

This is our generation.

This is our voice. This is our power. This is our impact. This is our generation. If you want this generation to do something – then join with us. It’s our generation. If you want this generation to go a certain direction and do certain things – then lead us and show us. It’s our generation. If you want this generation to be remembered for something special, something honorable – then start it. It’s our generation. Yours and mine. All of ours. Let’s do these things. Let’s do them together. Let’s start now.

This is our generation.
