Hey guys, Antonio here with some more of The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. Today we're going to be talking about chapter 3: Live as if your father were dead. And no, this is not a negative thing here. They're saying to truly love

your father, you know, you shouldn't have anything against him. Care about him, love him, but you need to be free of his expectations. Don't let his thoughts, ideas, and ideals, unless you truly want to accept them as truth, um, to, uh, to affect your thinking. Don't, don't just

simply live in his footsteps. Um, be your own person. Ask yourself how would you have lived differently um if you know you didn't try to do things for your father or you know try to, um, try to do something to impress him. I know some people that, uh, you know, their dad is, uh,

for instance, a mechanic, and then they become a mechanic as well, simply because they, you know, their dad told them their entire lives to become a mechanic, or you know, a dentist and a dentist, or you know, stuff like that happens where the dad says you

were going to be this, you're going to go get a good job here, but the person might love something completely different, like you know, art or music, and they can't get into it simply because their father instilled these ideas into them to really become who they are. So I have a

challenge for you guys: the next three days, do one thing every single day that you might have avoided or suppressed because of what your dad did. Um, and after doing this, please let me know how you feel if any of your mindsets have changed at all. Please let me know. I'd

love to have a discussion with you guys in the comments down below um so hope you guys enjoyed today's video on living as if your father was dead please leave me a thumbs up if you enjoyed it guys I'm going to leave a link in the
