“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” By: Ralph Waldo Emerson
One way that we can break through to our youth today to ensure they are prepared to lead tomorrow is by empowering them to be different. So many youth today are following in the footsteps or directions of others rather than following their own passion and desires. Their parents plant certain career choices into them and if they don’t seek these choices they feel they have disappointed their family. However, if society will empower our youth to live their own truths, follow their heart, their dreams, their passions, and their desires; it will lead them towards their own greatness.
If youth can follow their own passions and desires, we will start to see more innovation, creation, and drive among our youth that is empowering, inspiring, and life changing. For example, a young girl named Amiya Alexander wanted to find a way to ensure all youths of all backgrounds had the opportunity to have dance training. Her passion for her idea, with the support of her mom, enabled her to create Amiya’s Mobile Dance Academy. Her dance academy has provided dance training to communities of youth who may not have had this opportunity. Read more about Amiya’s Mobile Dance Academy at http://www.amiyasdancebus.com/.
In order for us to break through to our youth of today to ensure they are prepared to lead tomorrow is by encouraging them to be different. We have to inspire and empower our youth today to be fearless and explore their passions, desires, and dreams. As adults, we have the responsibility to help guide our youth towards their goals and be a support system. If we do this, we will have more youth being fearless like Amiya Alexander.
