"millennials"

I really like this video! This is not the first time I have watched it, but it gets better every time I see it. I do believe that he is correct when he says that millennials have been “dealt a bad hand”. We were born in a time that where so much is expected of us. We also live in a time of great technology which has brought about a certain need for instant gratification. The combination of all these things has primed us millennials to have a very big fear of failure. Along with that we feel large amounts of shame when we do fail. This certainly backs up the statistics that show that the millennial generation is more prone to things such as shame, depression, laziness etc. While this is very true, I also believe everyone is in charge of their own lives. I believe we all have the power to choose our own destiny. While millennials have certainly been dealt a bad deck, that is no excuse to have the millennial mindset. There are plenty of millennials who still believe in honest hard work and that the past doesn’t create their future, they do. I am in no way discrediting real mental health issues, such as depression, I am simply saying that everyone has the power to create the circumstances they want. You can’t change the world in yoga pants people!
