COT: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” -Emerson
Keep it simple. Do what works. Don’t overcomplicate. Focus on fundamentals, discipline, and routine. Too many intricacies in a plan/mission can result in confusion, inaction and excuses/justifications.
“”The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary may speak.” -Hans Hoffman”Assess your commitments and schedule, set boundaries, prioritize what’s critical, minimize the distractions/non-essentials. Know your limits. Know your flaws/negative tendencies. Be honest with yourself. Take accountability when your plan isn’t working – and adjust accordingly.
“”See it big, and keep it simple.” -Wilferd Peterson”An ambitious vision is a powerful thing, but keep your goals grounded and your tactics tight.
Lastly, forgot to say this, but…Avoid the temptation of shortcuts, shiny trends and silver bullets.

Thanks for joining me, fellas. We started with some SSHs and warmups, then did the obligatory trifecta, and then took off to see the park. We went to see some new areas.

We talked about the need to be more courageous, especially when we know the truth.

Thanks again, and have a great day.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
[Jesus] said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Mark 4:39

Life is chaos; there are always storms either brewing or surrounding us, metaphoric waves and rains that can lead us to fear. Sometimes, the miracle is that the Lord calms the storm that is all around us; but sometimes, it’s that the Lord calms the storm within us. We only need trust, hold on, wait. With the help of God, our peace and center, we will weather any storm.
