Reviewing The Field Guide to the North American Teenager has me thinking of resistance. No doubt, there are things than can and should be resisted not all that confronts us is good.
So much in this world changes so fast, that perpetual resistance, a continued unwillingness to new thoughts or ways of being, can wear us down. I think this sort of resistance comes so easily for anyone who is faced with something new if we don’t maintain a growth mindset.
I find that on a personal level, my own resistance, the ease at which I can say no or can cast doubt, will stunt my own growth. Politically, it is certainly necessary to pushback again agendas that are oppressive, inequitable or unjust. Title: The Field Guide to the North American Teenager
