Don't Tell Me What to do!

Is there a Rebel in all of us?

There has been a lot written about our inner child but what about our inner teenage and what do they have to say? How do you know you have one?  When you have the thought "don't tell me what to do", that would be your inner teenager speaking. Our inner teenager likes to rebel against what they perceive is taking away their freedom. What sort of freedom though, does the inner teenager bring itself through rebellion? A sense of of self, empowerment, clarity and action or pain, confusion, anger and a sense of disenchantment with the world. The inner teenager is similar to the inner child in asking you for your attention, to be listened to and an understanding of the boundaries. This is quite funny because teenagers appear nonplussed about receiving your attention, would rather be heard on Facebook and be free to do whatever they want. As adults we can become this way again in life when we are searching for new boundaries within ourselves on what we are and are not willing to experience. In a way we are looking to break free of what we feel bound by and are seeking to independently manage the direction of our own life. An awareness of where we may be rebelling in life can be a silent call in asking ourselves where we aren't feeling free enough to be?
