Hey, my happy shiny puppy!
This is Melody Fletcher, author of Deliberate Receiving: Finally the Universe makes some
freakin' sense!
And today I would like to address the so called Millennials.
So, this is my open letter to the Millennial generation, so to speak.
So, first of all, what is the Millennial generation?
Well, I looked it up and although there is, you know, there's not a 100% agreement on
it, it looks to be people who turned 18 as early as the year 2000.
And so, it's essentially now in 2017, anybody who's about 35 years old or younger, who is
basically of age.
So, it's people who are coming, you know, out of college, coming out of high school,
coming out of college and have been in the work world for a while.
So, the term Millennials is often used in a really deprecating way.
And, you know, I look around on the internet and I have to say, now that I'm in the United
States which I've been for a little over a year now, I notice it much more since I've
been here.
There is so much Millennial bashing going on.
So much vitriol being spewed at the Millennial generation, that it really started to interest
me, you know, what was going on there and why were so many people so angry?
You know, I read not more… not just one article that started with "We can all agree
that Millennials are just the worst", you know?
And I thought "No.
Wait, what?!
We can all agree on that?
Like, why are we agreeing on that?"
And so, I wanted to, you know, look into what was going on and what were Millennials being
accused of.
And if they were behaving that way, why were they behaving that way?
And what I found was that... well, I'll share with you what I found, because there's some
really interesting stuff going on there from an energy point of view and from a belief
system point of view.
But what I found is that, you know, I wanted to speak to Millennials directly and kind
of go "You're not doing it wrong."
Because a lot of people are essentially giving the message that, you know, you're the worst
and you're doing it wrong and you need just to grow up.
And I wanted to say to you, and I will back this up, don't worry, bear with me, but you're
not doing it wrong.
And there is nothing wrong with you.
And so, it's them, not you, basically.
So, let me give you some explanation and then at the end of that, maybe I can give you some
advice on how to deal with all this vitriol, all this rage being directed at you.
And it's going to be easier once you understand where it actually comes from rather than,
it's just, well, it's just haters gonna hate.
Which is true, haters are gonna hate.
Which was the whitest way to say that, wasn't it?!
But…, or the oldest way; I don't know.
(posh) "Haters are going to hate!"
But, anyway, that is true, but there's always a reason behind it that goes a little bit
deeper.
So, the first thing that I want to address is that people are saying that your generation,
you Millennials, your generation is "entitled."
That Millennials are entitled.
So, let me first of all, define entitlement as opposed to being somebody that has an expectation
that things are going to work out for you.
Because what I teach is that things are going to work out for you and that holding that
expectation is actually a really powerful, creative tool and a prerequisite to actually
creating what it is that you want.
You want to open yourself up to the point where you can get what you want, where you
expect it to come.
Which means that when you get really good at this, you go through life expecting good
things to happen to you, things to work out for you.
Which includes people giving you what you want, you know.
I am genuinely surprised when things don't work out, instantly work out, for me the way
that I want them to work out.
And so, that's not being entitled.
Entitled is when you decide that what you want has to come from someone specific.
"You" have to give me what I want whether you want to or not.
Whether you want to play with me on this level or not.
Whether or not you're a cooperative component or a match to what I want, or not a match
to bringing it to me.
You have to do it.
So then you start demanding from specific people that, you know, they give you what
you want rather than taking a step back and going "Ok, this isn't working out.
That's alright, because I'm still going to get what I want."
So, that's how I define entitlement and there are entitled people in every generation, y'all.
Are there entitled people in the Millennial generation?
Absolutely.
Are there entitled people in generation X, my generation?
Absolutely.
Are there entitled people in the baby boomer generation?
Oh, hells to the yeah there are.
Yeah?
But what I've found is that a lot of people don't have that much of a problem with entitlement
when it shows up in the wrinklier version.
So, the older you are the more entitled you're entitled to be because you've earned your
dues.
And then we get resentful when somebody who's younger acts kind of entitled.
Yeah?
So, first of all, not all of what is being called entitlement in the Millennial generation,
or any generation, is actually entitlement.
Positive expectation that things will work out for you is not entitlement; demanding
it from specific people is.
And second of all, true entitlement is never a good idea and you don't, sort of, earn a
right to be entitled because you're rich or old or whatever.
We could use a whole lot more adjectives there and get into all kind of areas.
Yeah?
So, let's just, sort of, put that to bed right now.
But being positively expectant that things are going to work out for you is not entitlement
but it can be so annoying because of this belief that I just touched on that, you know,
we all hold to some degree or another.
Some of us are shifting out of it more than others, but it's still very prevalent in our
society that you have to pay your dues.
And paying your dues is defined as suffering.
So, once you've suffered enough, once you've suffered through an entry level job that is
meaningless on every level, you're doing nothing meaningful, not for the customers, not for
the company, not for yourself, but you have to, sort of, tread on that hamster wheel for
so and so long before you can get to do anything even halfway meaningful.
You have to suffer and once you've suffered enough then you deserve to get to do something
that's maybe a little bit better.
Not good but maybe a little bit better.
And only once you've suffered a whole lot, do you get to have your reward.
And that is an old, archaic, horrible, limiting belief that is on its way out.
And the Millennial generation, more than any other generation before it, is rejecting that
belief.
And it is bumping up against, you know, people who are still mired in that belief because
they get very resentful.
"If I had to suffer," they want to say, "then you have to suffer too.
How dare you not be willing to suffer when I did."
Just because you bought into that belief doesn't mean that everybody has to.
Yeah?
So, the Millennials are in many ways having a really hard time because you guys are on
the cusp between the old energy which is suffering, no pain, no gain… you know, sacrifice, powerlessness.
And it's on its way out and moving into a more empowered place.
Yeah?
Where you get to have positive expectations, where things work out.
Where not everything has to be hard, where it can be easy.
Where you no longer waste your time doing meaningless things for no reason other than
to pay your dues.
Yeah?
(Sarcastic) Because everybody has to, because this is how we've always done it, because
that's how it's done.
Which are bullshit reasons.
Yeah?
Where we reject all of those ideas, push them away and start to move towards the new energy.
Yeah?
A new age of enlightenment, so to speak.
And the Millennial generation is very much on the cusp.
You've sort of, got one foot in one generation or one energy, the other foot in the other
energy and you're, sort of, being , you know, pushed and pulled and torn apart right in
the middle of that.
Because you want to go towards the new energy and you feel that very strongly but then on
the other hand, there's a whole lot of people telling you different who are still mired
in the old energy.
And so, it can be really confusing.
And it's that old energy that causing that huge backlash, you know, that is basically
saying "You have to suffer, this is how you have to do it; this is how it's always been
done.
And how dare you not be willing to do that, you entitled little shit you."
Yeah?
And that's a lot what I'm seeing, it's this vitriol, that's where that comes from, yeah?
It's, "I couldn't just go for my dreams and tra la la la la, and so, you can't either."
And this is where that anger comes from; it's a resentment.
But resentment always means it's never about the other person.
Resentment, if you're feeling resentful, it's always because you did something you didn't
want to do.
You gave more than you wanted to give.
You held yourself in a situation that you didn't want to be in.
You paid a higher price than you wanted to pay.
And that's not to blame the person who's resentful because blame is not helpful.
But it's to say you've got to take responsibility, for that's the choice you made.
Maybe because that's the only choice you saw at the time but that's the choice that you
made.
You didn't know it was a choice but you made it anyway.
Yeah?
And that doesn't mean that you have to punish all future generations by restricting their
choices and saying "You don't get to make that choice either because I didn't get to."
Isn't it wonderful that we're moving into an energy where people get to make different
choices?
So, that's my explanation of where that vitriol is coming from.
Now let me maybe give a little bit of advice, if I may, to the Millennial generation.
So, if you're in this generation and you're having a hard time right now with how unfair
things are, you're looking around and you're saying "Wait a minute.
We're not able to make a living wage when we come out of college; we're told that this
path is going to lead us to success, we went ahead and spent all this money to go through
college and now I have a degree and I can't even, you know, find a decent job.
I can't make a living, you know; where's my American dream?"
It can get really, really, really difficult and frustrating when you're looking around,
especially when you have this drive inside of you that says "I'm here for more.
I want more."
And you're being asked to care about things that don't matter.
Yeah?
So, you know, some of the messages that I've seen online, you know, from people, sort of,
bitching about the Millennial generation, is, you know, "Special Snowflake."
I love that; I think that's so funny.
But, I see, you know, Special Snowflake, you, you know, you can't expect to not have to
work, you know, for a year in a shit job before they promote you.
And I want to say "Yes you can."
And, because you're stepping into a new world where meaningless jobs will become obsolete.
And they will become obsolete... if you want, an actual, you know, realistic explanation
of how that will happen, it's technology.
Technology is going to make all those shitty, shitty jobs that nobody wants anyway obsolete
and will free us up to create at a much different level.
Yeah?
And so... and it's already happening.
And there are some speed bumps, of course there are but it's already happening.
And so, what you're wanting to do is, is put your mind towards a bigger picture.
Understand that people who are really anti-Millennial, they're just jealous.
They're resentful because they had to pay a price that you're not willing to pay.
And also understand that you are finding your way and that means stay aware of yourself,
stay aware of, you know, what you're fighting against.
You're finding your way through this old energy.
Give yourself permission to believe that yes it can work out for you.
And yes, it can be easier; it doesn't have to be so hard.
And yes, you know what, all those emotions you're feeling about it not being fair, about
it not being right, that make you want to stand up and shout "This isn't the way!"
That is all absolutely spot on.
You're fighting against the things that other people have become too complacent to fight
against and they want to tell you to shut it down.
They want to tell you to sit down and shut up, this is not the way.
Oh, my God, I've seen so many messages about that!
And I want to say "No!
Stand up and be heard.
Stand up and be heard."
Yeah?
And it's not to say that you have to push against it but stand up and be heard because
as you're standing up and being heard, as you're saying "This is not right", you're
expressing how you really feel.
And you know what?
From someone who is one generation before you, IT IS NOT RIGHT!
It is not right.
The way the world is being governed right now, is not right.
It is not the best way to do it and it's not the way it has to be.
And there is something wrong with it.
Absolute lack of empathy for anyone; there's something wrong with that.
Lack of any kind of concern for the environment; there's something wrong with that.
We shit where we eat!
Are you kidding me?!
Yeah?
The fact that we have no compassion for each other; there's something wrong with that.
This is not who we really are.
And what is wanting to shine through you is who we really are; and don't you forget it.
Cause you're here to usher in a whole different world.
And whatever assistance I can give you, I'm on board.
Ok, so, that was my soapbox rant and message and open letter to the Millennial generation.
I hope that you enjoyed it.
I can't wait to see what you guys have to say back to me in the comments, on You Tube.
I know a lot of you are on You Tube, or click on through to my blog, if you're seeing this
on You Tube and have the discussion there.
And I will do my best to answer, and answer any questions that you guys have from this.
But I want to hear your feedback because I want to do something that a lot of people
don't do.
I want to listen to you.
I've talked at you now but now it's time for you to talk and tell me your thoughts, your
concerns and what is it that you're really struggling with.
And…, because again, this is what I don't think we do a lot time is, everybody's got
an opinion about the Millennial generation, including me (laughing), but not a lot of
people are listening.
So, I'm absolutely willing to listen.
Until next week, thank you, all of you, for bringing your light to the world.
Happy shiny, smooshy puppy hugs.
Bye.
