His own desire to succeed and the fear that he won’t, reveals itself in anxiety and anger. What if he doesn’t succeed in college or in life? What if he’s just average, or worse?
His mom watches the struggle and wishes she could take the pain away. She wants to give her son positive energy and encourage him to be willing to explore the world a bit. To give himself time to grow, to learn, to make mistakes, to find his passion, to fail, to succeed, and most of all just to LIVE. She has every confidence in her boy. She trusts his future is bright and that he will find his own path forward. She loves him very very much.

Green Aventurine helps us to be more self-confident and hopeful about the future. It reduces the power of anger and fear, and helps us to be peacefully heart-centered. Green Aventurine gives us courage to handle new situations as they arise and to create success on our own terms.
