Forget Perfect. Model This Instead.
Sep 18, 2025
Hey there, purposeful parent 👋
Can we offer a gentle reframe today?
In a world that rushes to praise talent, it’s easy to think your youth has to be the best. the most creative, the smartest, the most naturally gifted.
But here’s what we’ve learned from years of working with youths through our Passion to Purpose Project:
The youths who shine the brightest…They
aren’t always the most talented.
They’re the ones who keep going.
They try.
They fall.
They try again.
They ask questions, try something new, and slowly, they grow.
That skill?
It’s called resilience. And it’s the quiet power behind every confident, courageous youth.
A Simple Reflection to Try Together
🌟 Ask your youth:
👉 “Was there something today that didn’t go how you wanted… but you kept going anyway?”
Then follow up with:
👉 “What did you learn about yourself from that?”
Let them lead the conversation.
Celebrate the trying, not just the result.
This is how youths build the emotional muscles that last far beyond adolescence.
How Passion to Purpose Helps Youths Grow
At The YOU Power Project, we designed Passion to Purpose as a space where youths don’t just learn skills, they build resilience.
Here’s what makes it different:
Youths dive into hands-on projects inspired by their own interests.
They’re encouraged to experiment and take risks, without fear of being “wrong.”
They practice pushing through challenges, discovering that setbacks are just stepping stones.
In Passion to Purpose, creativity is nurtured, confidence grows, and resilience becomes second nature. Youths walk away not just with projects they’re proud of — but with the inner strength to keep trying, keep learning, and keep shining.
✨ Perfection isn’t the goal.
Resilience is the real superpower.
