Do you have much to give to the world? But lack a proper outlet?

We all want to matter. We all – well, most of us – want to be useful and make the world a tiny seed better.
But how?

Perhaps you catch yourself walking around with high shoulders and clenched fists. It feels as if you are watching the world from inside a cage, but do not know how to get out. If that is you, I know the feeling. That is how I felt for years. There are probably millions of us.

You go to work with a heavy stone in your stomach. You leave with a metallic taste in your mouth.

Good causes to support are run by tribes with mantras you do not want to accept.

Most self-help books offer soft-chewing advice on how to become “successful.”

That is not what you want. You want to matter, but in a way that feels right for you. And you want to be less frustrated.

Does that sound familiar?

This is how I want you to feel instead

Purpose

The world is suffering from an emptiness pandemic.

How to fill that void?
Be useful.
Maturity is about acknowledging responsibility.
You have a responsibility to be as useful as you can be.
Take that responsibility.

-“Yes, yes! But HOW?!?!”

Joy

I want you to test and try. Life is an experiment.

And while you test and try: Laugh more.
A sure sign of Maturity is that you can laugh at yourself. Even when you are alone. 

Dream more.
People spend too much time wanting to get away from something, without imagining what they want instead.

Power

To be as useful as you can be, you need to make better use of your capacities.

You are capable of much more than you think.

Hence, I want you to live your own life. Not one dictated by others.

Think for yourself.
Who do you want to spend time with? What do you want to believe in? What can you give to the world?

Peace

More than anything I want you to be at peace with yourself.

To stop wasting your life on internal battles. To be picky about what external battles you engage in.

As Abraham Maslow wrote about self-actualising people:

“Self-actualising people are not a problem to themselves.” 
[They have a…]
“…lack of worry over immediate concerns that make life easier not only for themselves but for all who are associated with them.”

Doesn’t that sound like a good way to live?

Self-actualising people are mature people. They are problem-centred, not ego-centred. They have a mission in life.

Each step on the Road to Maturity will lead you towards that easy-going calmness.

The world is run by far too many Immature people. But for every Hitler, Mafioso, toxic boss, greedy businessman, abusing priest or boisterous uncle you will find ten, thousands or millions of enablers. Without enablers, these Immature people are nothing.
We can stop them.

Whether it is about Toxic Tom at work, a drab life or your dream of becoming an artist.

Perhaps your brain feels like a bundle of barbed wire and you have no idea what you want. Just a long list of what you don’t want?

How League of Adults works

I am not an expert with all the answers. Many more talented and mature people can offer a thousand times better answers. Past and present. 

League of Adults works as a hub in a wheel, bringing together a variety of subjects from a variety of sources. Fact and fiction.
From Jean Valjean to Nelson Mandela. From Harriet Tubman to Stephen Hawking.

Whatever makes us more mature.

On top of that, I add some oil with my own insights and experience.
