And power to you for instilling that "go after your dream with all you've got" mindset in your girls from such a young age. That is one of the most powerful tools a parent can give a child.

She's been acting on the stage since she was five. She's now eleven. I told her, "Follow your heart, no matter where that takes you. You just have to decide if your dream is worth making no money because that might happen. Know that I'll always back your decision but also know you're not coming back home to live with me."Kelly Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864393063155941257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-54185884590811463582012-08-17T11:19:29.857-04:002012-08-17T11:19:29.857-04:00Love that line, Lynn: Dreams are fragile, they ne...Love that line, Lynn: Dreams are fragile, they need love.<br /><br />It really does mean a lot when you have someone who a) listens enough to know your dream is important and b) cheers loudly from the sidelines when it comes true.Laura Bradfordhttp://www.laurabradford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-44147197013814530132012-08-17T11:04:16.607-04:002012-08-17T11:04:16.607-04:00Tears - I'm so proud of DD#1 and you for suppo...Tears - I'm so proud of DD#1 and you for supporting her in her dreams - Cheering for her tonight in Illinois.

For your talented daughter and for ...Hurray, Laura! For your talented daughter and for your own belief and encouragement of her dream!<br /><br />I used to do life coaching, and I can't tell you how many of my clients were middle-aged people with "successful" careers that simply were not what they'd ever wanted to do. They'd given up their own unique dreams at the insistence of parents and were now trying to chisel their way out of frozen lives. You've just ensured that your daughter will never be one of those people.<br /><br />I know three people who wanted to be actors when they were starting out. None of them have given Meryl Streep or Morgan Freeman a run for the money. But then, in every field only a few make it to the pinnacle of success. Two of these three are professors of theater and directors now. The third is a successful screenwriter, playwright, and teacher of workshops out in LA. All three live happy lives, still immersed in the theater they love--and they're not waiting tables.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.com
