A Note from AndreaFathers & A Sense of PossiblityMy father has always believed in my ability to have—and make happen—anything that I wanted in my life. I think the only times I’ve actually disappointed him have been when I’ve unnecessarily shrunk down my life, when he could see only possiblity. He never envisioned me playing small or quiet. So I do make a bit of noise. I share what I see, I try to help where I can, and I am an explorer at heart. As a result, my life is very satisfying. I have few regrets. My father instilled that confidence long ago, through challenging me learn how to take care of myself. He taught me about how cars worked (and how to change my own oil!), about colors and how to paint (can’t say I had any talent for that), how to put on aluminum siding and roof shingles, how to negotiate and barter (great trip over the border on the back of his motorcycle to purchase a Mexican serape), and how to read maps… because life is an adventure and we should be ready to hit the road. I hope your father helped you to collect a useful back of tricks, too.

So, with Father’s Day around the corner, let’s raise a glass or a picnic plate full of good vittles to the FATHER in our lives. Here are the qualities I cherish as a result of my dad. F is for… Following my heart. For a long time, I exclusively used to “think” in order to decide the “best” or “smartest” course in most things. Nothing wrong with that to a degree. But when I fully trusted my heart and let it work in partnership with my mind, the good stuff really started to happen. A is for… Amazement in the possibilities and all that there is out there for us to see and try. It’s so important to slow down and fully explore the wonder of the natural world, and to appreciate the many different people and places that populate our environments. T is for… Tenacity to stick it out for what we truly want or what we believe to be right. If I’d thrown up my hands when faced with the hard part of learning new things, jobs or technology, I’d never enjoy the interesting career I’m engaged in now. If I’d given up too quickly when faced with stresses of physical distance and occasional misunderstanding, I wouldn’t have the great number of friends I enjoy and my new marraige. H is for… Horizon and whatever comes next. Although I live firmly in the here and now, and I am continually enticed and optimistic about what tomorrow will bring. I’m naturally curious, and I love to travel… literally and metaphorically. “What if?” is one of my favorite questions. E is for… Embrace challenges that come with a full life. Stretching myself professionally, cultivating and maintaining close relationships, and exploring possibilities sometimes lead to struggle. But every challenge is an opportunity for growth and greater expression of who I can be. R is for… Reinventing myself as I learn and experience new things. We all crave certain constants in our lives; our loved ones, familiar surroundings, and general comfort. But I choose to be resilient and know that no matter what happens, I’ll evolve and adapt and enjoy what comes next. Life is an adventure to be experienced to the fullest. Remember your father and all the others in your life who’ve cheered you on, and go for it! © 2007 Andrea R. Williams WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR E-ZINE OR WEB SITE?
