Change is always scary, and I could see the fear in my daughter's eyes as I said goodbye and walked away. I had hoped she didn't see the same look in mine. I'm sure it was there.
Fear of the unknown is real, but dreams come true on the other side of fear. Her dreams for herself, and my dreams for her. As a parent, all we can do is encourage them to push through the fear. As a writer, I hope I have shown her how to do it.
My children have watched their mom go after her dreams of being a writer and have seen what putting myself out there looks like. They've seen the fear. They've seen the hard work. And they've seen the dreams come true on the other side.
I know my daughter will push through her fear, and I look forward to the next time I see her when I will see how her courage had turned into dreams come true.
But for tonight, I will smile through a few tears.
Question: Have you had to push through a fear to achieve your dreams?
Thank you for stopping by!
