COT:

Togetherness. This workout was a “Together” workout. All exercising, counting, and moving in sync with each other. Progressing together. It’s easy to go solo, to not ask for help, to be alone as a man. It can result in us struggling alone, or winning in private. Neither is as enjoyable as the alternative. Life is just better together…it’s not always easier, but it’s better. We were made to experience life interactively amongst peers, friends, and spouses…each has their place.

I have a personal struggle with my relationship with food. It’s something that’s been demonstrated over decades that I cannot control. I’m not sure what woke me up on it, but this month is a month to fight back for me. To involve others, cause I know what failure feels like alone, and I cannot imagine any victory without accountability and involvement from others. My encouragement is to lean in to being around other trustworthy guys, invite them into some things you are enjoying or some things you may be processing through.

Pretty simple: we walked about 3.5 miles and took a great pic along the way on a wagon decorated for pictures. The COT was a snippet from my Virtuous Leadership Q earlier in the week.
