Two words came to the forefront in this podcast, expectations and meaning. I am a baby boomer and we were taught/programmed into pre-set societal expectations. Go to school, get a higher education, create a career, buy the house, have the family, contribute something meaningful. Never in that indoctrination did I hear, what is your passion, what lights you up, what is your dream? Many people have muddled through their lives, searching, wondering, looking for that validation of meaning, of contribution, which they do not think that they have achieved. There is an emptiness and the question arises , what was that all about?
Perhaps, what we are now seeing is a shift in those pre-set expectations, opening the door to a new creativity, a breath of fresh air. People are creative beings, if the societal structure allows the flow of new ideas that allow growth, meaning, and satisfaction. Perhaps, the days of pre-set expectations have reached their sell-by date. Only time will tell. However, I am quite optimistic that what we are now experiencing is not the end of the "road", but the beginnings of a new long-overdue paradigm. It is time for humanity to become empowered and shine.
Thank you for your work. Bosnia is a very beautiful country with wonderful people and great potential. I trust that in the next decade it will begin to truly experience a rebirth. On we go!
