I agree. Life-changing decisions don’t have to be daring or dangerous, but they do take guts – and I think that’s what it is all about. The examples you list: marriage, moving 1800 miles from home, etc. all take guts.

Thanks for the comment

I think we make “life-changing” bigger than it is, and like you mentioned, often overlook items/events/etc. that truly are life-changing.

You skydiving, yes that’s absolutely a changer. You getting married..life-changing. But what about smaller things that aren’t as “sexy” like cutting back eating out or biking to work once a week. We often think life-changing has to be extreme, when in fact, it doesn’t. Or at least not in my book.

My biggest life-changing moment was moving 1800 miles away from home, without a job or a place to live, right after college. It’s on the extreme side, but I’d also say that joining PRSA has been nearly as life-changing (not a sponsorsed plus, I promise) as my move was.

Interesting question, Kristen.

Those are some great goals! I’m doing the 101 in 1001 and I still have a LONG ways to go!

P.S. I’m doing a MN/WI blog get together in August. If you’d be interested, feel free to check out my blog and send me an email.

Comment on Millenials to the Rescue? by Kristin

Jesse,

First, I’m glad that my last post encouraged you to comment. I love hearing your perspective and opinion – so I hope that you continue to comment!

I agree that our generation does work late and commit to their jobs, but I’m not sure if that is what makes us different. I am more inspired by people (like you) who maintain feelings of idealism and are determined to change our world. That attitude is shared across our generation and makes us so different from others!

I’ve read a number of things about generations and presented on differences between the groups. People love this stuff. However, one thing I found particularly interesting lately was a new take on it – we’re reallly not all that different. Sure, there are tendencies for millenials to be better at technology (since most don’t remember the world before the internet so it’s quite a natural thing), but for the most part, each generation has people who are optimistic, lazy, driven, entitled, etc. I feel many of the differences between generations have more to do with “life stage” than with generation. Plus, all generations like to analyze the next one coming up. Gen X workers were driving baby boomers crazy in the 90′s… Today’s middle schoolers (whatever the next generation name will be) will be driving us all crazy in a few years too… So don’t feel too bad for being picked on. It will only last a few more years and then we’ll have someone new to pick on.
