Free yourself from the expectations and criticisms of your father.

Free yourself from the expectations and criticisms of your father.

from The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire by David Deida

The superior man loves his father but is not influenced by him. He lives like his father is dead.

How to Apply This

  1. Imagine that your father died or remember when he did die.
    Do you have any feeling of relief?

  2. How would you live differently if you never had to please your father?
    What if you never had to show your father that you are worthy?

  3. Start doing things that you avoided because of the influence of your father.
    Practice being free of his subtle expectations.
