If my children are any indication of what the rest of where generation Z is at, Earth and the future of humanity has it in the bag. I wasn’t half as intelligent at the ages they are now, and I was gifted. Their intelligence easily rivals my own now. The only edge I have is experience. They are so compassionate and curious. They feel empowered to fix what’s wrong with everything. Sounds like exactly what this planet needs right now. I’m cheering them along the way. They guide their own journey and it’s beautiful. Getting to hear their thoughts on everything is a joy. I couldn’t be more proud. We have conflicting opinions all the time. I never tell them their opinions are wrong. I just love how wacky they are sometimes. They always come from a place of caring, so it’s just fun to hear what they think. My daughter thinks I’m too optimistic in general. When I was her age my outlook was bleak by fifteen years old. Going through some very hard times by that age ran in the family with my kids and me. It’s only after decades of deep personal work by age forty eight that I now have this level of optimism. I had it since I was twenty years old, but I’ve been cultivating my confidence with it over the years. They are going to do just fine.
