Deflect
Sidestep all the arrows
Deflect
Learn to recognize
And deflect all the arrows
That are coming your way.
Train yourself so well,
That you deflect them deftly.
Hone this skill until
You can do this effortlessly.
When you get here,
Your path is clear.
You walk as if there
Are no arrows.
Because in truth
There are no arrows
When you stop
Treating yourself
As the target.
When what they do
Or don’t, does not
Affect you, their arrows
Become meaningless.
When you recognize
How much of what
They do and don’t
Is about them and
Not about you,
You simplify this
Journey for yourself.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
