I thought this was a pretty interesting quote I received from Esther and Jerry Hicks in my email recently…
“When a child has a dream and a parent says, “It’s not financially feasible; you can’t make a living at that; don’t do it,” we say to the child, run away from home… You must follow your dream. You will never be joyful if you don’t. Your dream may change, but you’ve got to stay after your dreams. You have to.”
— Abraham

Wow, pretty bold statement. I especially love the part “You will never be joyful (if you don’t follow your dreams).” Good advice even for adults…however…not sure about the “run away from home” advice. I think they’re just trying to make a point…
Encouraging my children to follow their dreams is one of the things I enjoy most about parenting and maybe one of the things I do best.
I certainly am better at that than at say…cooking.
