2021 Goal - Be a Fear-Less Dad

1/2/2021

Comments

 

In my life there has been a lot of trauma and death. It's hard to escape the thoughts and memories at times. I'm getting better at not letting them control me. This is something that I am working on.
But when I was thinking about goal setting for 2021, I was reminded of two things. 1. Set a goal that will require me to grow to achieve it. 2. Set a goal that will add to the quality of my life and who I am in the world.
So the first goal to be a Fear-less dad. Often it is hard for me to relax around my children. I have an incredible feeling that something is going to happen to them and they may end up sick or hurt and die. I know that this fear lives inside of my head and it's not based in reality. I have very healthy strong children. But I still have this feeling something will happen. So it has me on edge and I find myself being short with my kids because they are climbing on something or jumping on something or doing something I feel is dangerous. It really impacts me just being with these innocent bundles of joy. So precious and full of life. I miss out on those moments of joy. I miss out on them just being kids.
So my goal this year is to be fearless with my children. What I mean by this is to let go of the fear so that I can be with my children and experience them for who they are. I'll still tell them to stop doing dangerous things but I won't let it get in the way of me being present to they childish joy.
So what are some goals that you can create that will inspire you and also require you to grow?
Comment below and thanks for allowing me to share and without needing to be rescue me.
