The Coun·ter·weights

A Community to inspire and motivate young adults so that each day we get up, living out our dreams is the result. 

​

 My name is Jasmine Myers, Creator of The Counterweights and am someone either among the youngest of the Millennials or among the oldest of the Generation Z . I and many others in these two generations in the face of rising inflation, crushing student debt, and greater difficulty in finding jobs, did what we think all adults do. We twisted and turned, updated a resume, got another degree, tried to get a job, took a lower salary, paid the minimum on our debt all in attempt to stay afloat, seem “valuable”, and hopefully to not be replaced.

 

However I couldn't shake the feeling that there had to be more from life. I mean God gave us the ability to think, to build and create, to connect, and ultimately the ability to choose and yet here we are living lives that dwindle the light, the fire within us. So many of us think in our life or career, we're getting ahead but all I see, is the fact that inside, too many of us are already feel half dead. We let so many things in this life hollow us out and dampen the fire within us that we don't even remember the true meaning of how to live. 

 

I refused to believe that we have to resign to this fate of "the adult life". So after I graduated from college, I sought out to find new solutions, paths, tactics, birds in the sky, smoke signals, you get my point, all in an attempt to confirm that there IS more that this life has to offer, not just in the future but today.

 

Instead of looking at adult life as a time where dreams go unfulfilled and to dream means impracticality, I claim that our dreams can create a new reality. Dreams give us purpose and its dreams that will continue to transform our world for the better.

​

When I started thinking about my friends and the dreams they held, no longer did I want those desires to stay dreams but to do something that will inspire them to make it a reality. 

​

Then I thought on a larger scale. Here are these two young generations, many with unfulfilled dreams that if given the right tools and motivation, could see those dreams come to be. 

​

Sometimes when you're young, it's easy to feel alone but that's when I realized, I'm not alone. All around me there are young people ready, waiting to change the world. There is more to this life. Part of it lies within the power of dreams. Another part is being around people who believe and encourage you to see those dreams achieved. 

 

And so, I'm starting a community for: 

• All the young adults who feel like there’s something is missing from life.

• Those who know we are destined for more and refuse to keep seeing life as a chore.

• The young person with a dream on the shelf, who’s ready pick it up and discover oneself.

• The ones who want to live their lives not going through the motions but know that the possibilities are as vast as the ocean.

• The individuals who to this world want something to give, that lasts longer than we can outlive.

 

Even if everyone else thinks that there’s nothing we can do, I’m calling out so that I can get to YOU. Because as a young person, I know that somewhere deep inside, you understand me too. 

 

And that is where we begin: It’s time to shift the scales of "fate", it’s time we become

The Counterweights. 

 

This Community is where you can be inspired and gain the tools to do what it takes to see your dreams achieved. Together, we will inspire and motivate each other as young adults so that each day we get up, living out our dreams is the result. 

​

I’ll take the lead to ignite our fire inside, point to the one that provides, create an environment where our actions and dreams collide, and bring together people from worldwide.  

With the aim to revive, the ideal of what we seek most from life is to BE ALIVE.

​

Here, we don’t care about Fate, because the world will see that:

 

We are The Counterweights.
