Staying with it

If I say "Stay with it", does it ring a bell?
I see all these amazing and energizing people around, wanting the change, being the change. Most of them are from Generation Y. And then I look at the generation of the Flower power and of the Spring of 1969. And now I see corporate faces, not embracing the energy and efforts of the current pioneers of change. I wonder why?
Do people "lose it"? Why don't they "stay with it" - with their passion, energy, commitment? Where do we "lose it" on the road?
Well, of course not everybody loses it. But those who truly stay with deep humanistic values, do not often make it into the board rooms. They built their local communities, schools, groups of friends. That is where they bring about change. They are not quite as high leverage people as CEOs. But the truly connected people may not dream of becoming CEOs. Since career doens't really truly matter.
It looks like we have two streams: those who lose it and become heads of major organisations and those who don't lose it and never make the system turn around. Well, this is what I have observed in the older generation.
So the question is: how can our generation make sure that the strems do not split: that people "stay with it" and become high leverage individuals.
Or: is that really the way at all?

There's just one advise:
'Stay with it' !
I think everybody is with it however people tend to forget out of fear, greed, society pressure etc if we keep doing what we are doing even the most 'forgetful' one will remember (one day) and come back to the 'It'.
So keep working those boardrooms, keep chasing the CEO's and lovingly tempt them back to were they ones came from, it's like the truth...it prevails. By the way I meet a lot of 'youngsters' who are very far away from Self, Truth, Nature, Good or other it's. they look up to the example set by the people in charge now and trying to backbend their way into that society, what to do there?

Take care, stay with it, breath out, breath in and enjoy !
