Sunday Reflections~ Success Is Not For The Lazy

a853fa949df655817a974024c5d7df95

"Success is not easy and is certainly not for the lazy." Allow me to get on my soapbox for a second. I am sick and tired of people calling our generation lazy. Mostly just because I hate it when people put people in a box and say, "Oh, well you're a teen so you must be lazy and up to no good". I do not know about you but I look around, especially in the blogging world, and think wow these girls are motivated, determined, and go-getters! I think we have all realized that if you want to be successful in anything you have to put in a lot of effort. If I prove nothing else in my high school/teenage years I want to prove that not all teenagers are lazy. I mean just look around, Emily started Smart Girls Group when she was a teenager, and Anna started Undeniable Report and she is a senior in high school! Plus, anyone who has a blog knows it is a ton of work if you want to put out good, consistent content! Next time someone says something about teens being lazy standup for yourself and our whole generation and say we are not! Because I do not know about you, but I think our generation could do some pretty amazing things!

 

Has anyone every said anything bad to you about our generation?

 

Thanks for reading,

  3. I totally agree with this, Carrie! I do, however, think that through the blogging community, I've seen a lot of people who are trying to make a name for themselves. It's amazing and admirable to see how hard people work. You gave great examples with Emily and Anna. You should put yourself in there too! You're doing great things!

  5. This is such an important post! It's so unfortunate that the not-so-great minority speaks louder than the excellent majority of our generation. Keep up the great work, girl!
