Generally, we find a youth who is disturbed is also angry … angry with even life.  Such a youth has the passion to achieve, but lacks direction. He is frustrated seeing others being successful unlike him and is not happy about others’ success. He wonders what is missing in him. In such a state, he finds his energy being drained. With this anger he is not able to enjoy life. Out of frustration, he looks at the vastness of the sky and prays to the sky to guide him. Mystically but silently the sky answers his call: “Be vast like me … let the vastness of infinite possibility be your inner space.”

Oscar Wilde said: “Oh youth, what a pity it is wasted on the young.” When one is youthful one has the energy but less maturity; and when one is old one has the maturity and experience, but lacks youthful energy. To bring in both - youthful energy and maturity, is the challenge for the youth.

To make this happen one needs a healthy attitude. Attitude creates altitude.

What should be one's attitude?

Apply the A B C technique, i.e., A - for an attitude which is open and exploring; B - for having a belief which is powerful and not limiting and C - to bring in caring energy in whatever we do. One should understand that there are two types of youth, i.e., physical and psychological. Physically, a person can be young, but psychologically, if he is not open with a positive belief and without a caring energy, he is old. This distinction is a must for one’s growth.

What should be the vision of the youth?

The vision of the youth should be to be an outer winner and an inner winner. Being an outer winner gives you success and being an inner winner gives you satisfaction. To bring in success and satisfaction in your life is the greatest challenge.

What is meant by an outer winner?

To get what you like is being an outer winner. One should have the freedom to choose what he likes. Your desire to reach a goal is your freedom. Achieving this goal is being an outer winner. You should know how to maximize performance, you should know how to be a team player, you should have negotiating skills and you should know how to delegate and be a leader. You should be a leader and a follower. You should walk you talk and talk you walk.What should be my psychological exercise? Talk to yourself and say that you will be an outer and inner winner. Talk to yourself and say that you are always going to be young, i.e., psychologically young. For more details: Visit www.prasannatrust.org
