Lesson Overview

6.40 – Family Expectations vs. Your Truth: Families often build expectations for your career, beliefs, or lifestyle that may not match your reality. It’s hard to disappoint those you love, but living a lie hurts more deeply. Start by identifying which expectations you truly value and which belong to them. Express your truth respectfully but firmly, knowing discomfort is temporary and authenticity lasts. Remember, you were born to be yourself, not a copy of someone else’s dream. Confidence grows every time you choose honesty over approval. Find supporters who encourage individuality rather than conformity. You can honor family roots without losing personal direction. Courageously walking your path might inspire them to understand you better someday. Living your truth is the most powerful respect you can show yourself.
