And it wasn't easy to swallow...this pearl of wisdom, but it's this: They are not wrong for doing all the pressure stuff on us. We are wrong for letting them. You've taken the first greatest step to stopping the madness. You realize that you can't please some people. And that those same people will take your hard work and kindness as a weakness. And they will find a way to profit from it. If you let go of her coattail, you may find talent that you didn't know you had. You may even surpass her. But if that starts to happen....be ready for part 2. I'll be here when you need support with that stage.
