12-21-22 Fear of a parent
I am watching highway thru hell and Jamie Davis has his young kids out working with him. It is stirring all kinds of thoughts about my dad as my kid brother, Greg and I were often his helpers. At a young age we were taught not to question just to respond. As I watch the show I am reminded of the abject terror I often felt but followed through, I was not actually afraid of my Dad as much as I understood that this is what family does. I think I have accomplished, or experienced as much as I have in my life because it was instilled in me early, to just overcome and get it done. I don’t think I raised my son the same way. He is successful and I always knew he would be but I didn’t think it was because of me in any way. I do see though that he applied for a job that on paper he was no way qualified for but in the end is a huge success at. That is pushing the fear of rejection or failure aside to do what you want or need to accomplish. That is the trait passed down by my father. He, as I learned later in his life had many fears but as a true Scorpio acted as though he could do anything if he set his mind to it and his Aries daughter has done the same. It is good to have a respect, a response to those who want you to be fearless in spite of fear and succeed at all you truly want or need to do. Thanks Dad.
