I reading through School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity right now. The following passage really hit me when I was reading it.

Your “Why” is the reason you are doing anything at any given time. It’s your fallback when things get tough. If you can’t answer that question, you will likely fail. Similarly, if your “Why” is extrinsic versus intrinsic, and you find yourself in a truly adverse situation, your likelihood of making it to the other side is slim to none. Your going to need a bucket full of “Whys” throughout your life depending on the various situations you find yourself in.

Brad Ritter –  School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity

We do so many things in our lives without a good “Why”. We do it because we are expected to or because we think we need to. What is your “Why”? Don’t stop at the first “Why” dig deep and answer the question to as deep a layer as needed until you get to the depth you need to answer the question.

Handoff of the flag and AOQ from Herbie to Geppetto

To the pax:

It has been an honor and blessing to be the AOQ for the Brickyard. You men have inspired and challenged me. We have faced a pandemic together and grown stronger together. F3 has made me a better man and you all are a part of that. Leadership of the AO does not fall on the shoulders of one man. You all are a part of this. If you haven’t figured it out yet, we are a leadership group disguised as a workout group. So if you have an idea of something to do, don’t wait do it. You are freed to lead. Start it up and pull other men into it with you and get after it.

I love you all.

To Geppetto:

I’m handing over a group of rowdy wild men that are passionate and outspoken. They have heart and will push you to your limits at times. As the AOQ you will represent Brickyard to the other AOs and with the Nantan, but you are not alone. Do not feel that you have to do everything yourself, you have a group of men here to lead and guide. Call upon us, challenge us and push us to be better. Iron sharpens iron only by being struck and scraped together. At times things will be abrasive, but that is the sharpening of men and it cannot be done alone. Thank you for your willingness to step up and be the AOQ, we have your back.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”
Marcus Aurelius Meditations

MOLESKIN:
Thank you to all our veterans, especially the 3 that call Brickyard home. Geppetto, Oscar, and Hamm
