Many of us grow up hearing that we must sit down, be quiet, and mind the rules. “Do as you’re told,” a common refrain in too many households where children’s spirits are being stifled daily.

Even worse is the expectation that a child will follow in the parents’ footsteps, take over the family business, or join the firm that has been handed down for at least a generation or two.

All too often, no one questions whether the child would want to do this or what that child might prefer doing instead. And because children are so eager to please — especially their parents — they will often choke down what’s being forced on them in an effort to make Mummy and/or Daddy happy.

But that’s not why we were put on this planet. Each of us has a purpose and a path to follow that will help us fulfill it. In order to do that, we arrive with our own personalities, interests, strengths and desires. And it is our job to fully express all of that, as this is how our spirits speak.

Think about watching a film or reading a story that doesn’t allow you to connect with the main characters…
