Top learning moments:
- Sometimes when something doesn’t work out the way you expected, you need to take a deeper look and begin to move in a different direction. Aaron shared his story about things not working out the way he expected when he graduated from college and because of the circumstances he faced, he decided to go in a different direction. We can learn that same lesson. If circumstances don’t go our way in life, the best outcome is to begin moving in a different direction.
- We should examine our preconceptions and stereotypes. We all have stereotypes – about different races, genders, age groups, and nationalities. Stereotypes allow us to make sense of things we don’t understand, but they also force us to categorize people according to their group. The millennial generation has been given a certain stereotype but that doesn’t allow us to generalize that to individuals. There are many millennials, like Aaron, who care about helping others and who are out to make a difference in the world. Sure millennials have certain characteristics that have defined them, but so have other generations, races, nationalities, and genders. We need to look with positive glasses at everyone rather than with criticism. As it says in the holy scriptures – pull the log out of your own eye before you go looking for specks in someone else’s. Rather than criticize others, it’s probably best that we go searching for the logs we each have ourselves.
