You Are Not an Extension of Your Parents

As a parent, we always want what’s best for our kids. In fact, we often want them to have a better life than we had. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes we are not so well intentioned . Sometimes we inadvertently pressure our children to do the things they don’t really want to do. Instead of simply guiding our children, we end up either unconsciously or consciously trying to determine their life path. The problem with this is that our children have their own path and purpose that they must experience. We need to allow them to be their own individuals. You may even be thinking to yourself that your parents did this to you. Maybe you are even stuck in a job, a relationship, or living somewhere that isn’t bringing you joy because your parents wanted you to.  In today’s episode, I give you permission to chase your dreams. That’s right. Your dreams do not expire, and it is never too late to follow your heart.  Contact me: https://melissaoatman.com melissaoatman77@gmail 636-748-4943   Purchase my book Beautifully Broken:   https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/beautifully-broken-the-spiritual-womans-guide-to-thriving-not-simply-surviving-after-a-breakup-or-divorce/459896   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/beautifully-broken-melissa-oatman/1136174371?ean=9781989579060 https://www.amazon.com/Beautifully-Broken-Spiritual-Thriving-Surviving/dp/198957906X https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50977070-beautifully-broken     Purchase my book Mindfulness Matters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HDSKGGH/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=melissa+oatman&qid=1599159677&sr=8-2   Follow me on social media: https://www.facebook.com/reikiwithlissa/ http://www.instagram.com/melissaoatman222 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQPtU9hPeEWjbHr62LxuEXA   Donations are not necessary, however, if you feel inclined to donate to my channel through Venmo or PayPal, your energetic gifts are very much appreciated!
