Security Blanket

As a child, I like many children had not a care in the world. Actually I had cares, but these types of cares were of cartoons (Ninja Turtles), toys, and when the next time will come that I get a chance to play with friends. If you have ever been around children you will notice their demeanor is very innocent. We as adults can fathom to a certain extent how they come to act as they do. However, at this stage in a child’s life we as adults can never again place ourselves in that type of cognitive process and proceed to think as they do. Further divulging into this concept of children and their thought process, one can understand the needs of children such as parents who server as their security blanket. As they grow, they begin to develop and learn right from wrong, but for the most part of their life they rely heavily upon their parents and those who surround their daily activities.
There will always remain those childhood joyous and carefree memories in our lives which will serve as our place of escape. For now as adults, the trials of life and the pressures to succeed somehow whether it is minute or immense overbear our thoughts and actions on a daily basis. How do these thoughts derive? Like all things in life, we must have learned to react in this manner and question our stature at some point. It is up to us as individuals to derive a solution to every question that arises at any given time. Parents are supposed to be filled with wisdom, and we as young adults run to them with our inquiries in hopes to find the answer we are seeking. The reality is that parents are not equipped to provide a solution to all of our concerns; if this were true young adults would not have those lingering question mark actions in the back of their heads today. A transition is thus needed from the adolescent cognitive approach to life, to a more developed matured thought process.
Letting go and willingly ceasing to be in control of every moment in our lives is sometimes needed so that we as young adults can prosper and achieve all that we aspire to. Transitioning from adolescence into adulthood is probably the most challenging event that will take place in an individual. Consequently, not holding on to our security blanket is pivotal to make that transition. Young adults are somewhat stubborn when difficulties arise, therefore most individuals run back towards that security blanket. Weathering those storms and going through those deserts may not seem at first glance an event that anyone would like to go through, but in the end these occurrences are imperative to make ourselves stronger and wiser. More importantly, how an individual carry’s oneself through these times will ultimately reflect as a premonition on their future demeanor.
No mortal human being has the ability to speak of the future for any given person. There is no use seeking those individuals who admit to having this ability, for their so called ability of being able to “predict the future” is very questionable. Truly, for the sake of argument, GOD is probable the only person that most individuals would agree to having this ability. Therefore, young adults must experience the world as it is and omit any hope in fallible beings. The most discerning question that every young adult will approach at some point in their lifetime is; what is my purpose? This being one of the most difficult of question to compile a solution, I offer a simple piece of advice. Live your life with a passion that supersedes any hardship or difficulty that may come, all the while letting go of your security blanket so that your purpose may find you. If there were no such thing as facing adversity, then I find that we as a civilization would live with no merit.
God Bless
