#1 Follow your Heart.

People are happiest and do their best when they are doing what they love. As well, pursuing dreams provides motivation, direction and helps to clarify what is really important to people. Let your teens' dream. Let their dreams shape their goals. Let them use the energy their dreams give them to learn the skills and take the risks needed to make their dreams, or any part of them, a reality.
