- Follow your own path. This is a doozy for me. I’ve lived by others’ rules, expectations and guidelines for years, even if those rules were only in my head. The first time I heard the idea that I could have what I want, that life doesn’t have to be drudgery, I found it heretical. How many of us dare to believe that how we really, really want to live and what we really, really want to do is possible? By contrast, how many of us brush aside our greatest hopes and dreams with a flippant, “Not in this lifetime?” The greatest gift I can give my children is the belief that their dreams and hopes are both valid and attainable. But that is also the greatest gift I can give myself: permission to follow the beat of my own internal drummer, as far fetched and high reaching as it may be. Dear reader, that is also the greatest gift you can give yourself.
