Generation Gap: How to balance between one generation to another?

Hi!

Welcome back!!!

I am back with a new post named Generation Gap.

Nowadays I am quite busy with my daughter’s school exams, mother in law’s health issues and some other miscellaneous works. That’s the reason I didn’t get the chance to publish any post.

It happens sometimes. According to the priority, some other things take back seat. Anyway, Let’s come to today’s topic, “Generation gap”

What is your definition of the Generation Gap?

I think the difference of opinions, beliefs, values and practices between one generation and another generation is called the generation gap.

The gap of two or three decades between the two generations changes the thought process and practices of the younger ones.

It is true and we have to accept that Change is a continuous and gradual process. We should keep in the mind that differences will come on the basis of the thought process.

Today generation’s main focus on life style’s comfort and ease and secure their future first. On the other hand, another generation (old ones) is more focused on values and rituals. That creates conflict sometimes.

This is my observation and opinion, your thinking might be different.

Though three generations work simultaneously Self, Parents and Grandparents so it is obvious all the three generations will have their opinion, thinking and points to prove their logic.

Then what to do? How can we make a balance?

We need to understand certain points, to understand the whole process.

The points are-

1. Try to bridge the gap by listening, accepting and respecting the views and differences.

2. Try to maintain a better understanding by taking an effort to understand their point of view too.

3. Always keep in the mind that relationships are more valuable than differences. It takes lots of time, efforts and sacrifices to make a relationship stronger and on the other hand, it’s very easy to break within a second for various reasons.

4. Try to think about both the perspective, what will we think and how to react at the age of them. We will definitely get the answer.

5. At least try to fulfil their basic demands what they expected from you, your time, love, care and concern, whenever it is possible, show your concern for them.

6. Parents and grandparents should also try to understand the younger generation’s desires, passion, ambition towards their life.

7. Try to give an individual space to everyone. This is the main beauty of every relationship.

8. Don’t force anybody to live their lives in a certain way. Everybody has certain desires and goals for their life, let them free to live and where they need guidance, don’t hesitate to ask them.

9. Balance and adjustment is the key to solve all the misunderstandings. Some efforts from your side and some efforts from their side will help to make the life’s progressive, peaceful and happening.

These points are applicable to both generations. Sometimes first give and then get the formula works the best.

This is my way of thinking regarding this, what do you think and what is your point of view, please share with me through your comments.

Communication, discussion and then the conclusion is the best way to solve any problems. Be part of making the world happier.

Take care. Be happy and be productive.

Catch you all in the next one.

Make a choice :What do you want from your life?

Are you in the confusion?

Are you not satisfied with the progress of your life?

Do you want to change the current scenario of your life?

If the answer to all the three questions is “yes” then this blog is dedicated to all of you.

Welcome, all to my blog!!

Friends!!! Life is not as simple as we considered in our imaginations, there are some twists and turns which we have to accept and make our own path.

Everybody has different thoughts, aspirations and goals and their specific ways to achieve them. It is up to them how they define their lives.

Some are more ambitious so their priorities would be different. Some give the most priority to their family.

If someone’s priority is his profession then he can’t sacrifice his goals, it is fact and on the other hand, for someone, his family and kids are the most priority and he always tries to find some ways to adjust his family responsibilities with his profession.

There are very few who maintain a good balance in both of them and in actual mean they are the true winners.

Some are not satisfied with their personal life. If they are satisfied with their personal life then not sure about their professional life.

Do you ever think why these questions bothered?

The answer is comparison and confusion.

Everybody wants to live other’s life as he is only watching only the best part of their’s lives rest he is not watching actually or he doesn’t want to see.

Let’s understand it.

Confusion is the deep-rooted cause of all of these problems because we are living our life simply without knowing from where I have to start, where I have to go? Now, what is my current situation? What would be my destination?

Those who are not clear about their thoughts and vision, can’t get success.

Problem is this, they don’t know what they actually want from their lives. They are not happy with their current position and maybe with the future one.

If they feel satisfied about their decision then there should be no space for any confusion.

How this space creates?

I tell you before the reason is a comparison.

Without any similar situations, we compare us to others, found ourselves smaller than others, depressed with the situation then surrender.

The fall starts from here only because every small line is competing with the big line and the big line is competing with his bigger one and a bigger one from the biggest one. There is no end to this comparison. Let me explain with an example.

For example, If one chooses a specific work for him, he must be calculated some points regarding this, Agree? then what is the need for the comparison?

From where this comparison comes from his side or other’s side.

If we can’t control the other’s judgement so at least be clear about yourselves.

Life is not a race all the time.

Lots of options are open to you. Firstly make a choice according to your suitability then find the chance for yourself if you couldn’t find then ready to make your own and in the last, if you are not satisfied with that then change it.

This will happen only if you are clear about the steps you are following.

One more thing we should learn, appreciate ourselves for our efforts.

Don’t wait for others if they do so, they are welcomed and if they don’t, they are also welcomed.

Welcome your decisions and think again and again what were the reasons to choose this one, I am sure you will definitely get the answer.

Don’t lose hope. Everything will be fine. Be positive and make efforts. Take care!
