CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve always been a sucker for motivational quotes. Little one liners can fuel me throughout the day and help me in times of struggle or lack of motivation with my fitness life. The saying I’ve recently latched onto is “Don’t rush the process, trust the process.” I get in trouble when I try to rush the process. When I stay disciplined and consistent whether it is in my faith or fitness, I find I achieve more and fall less into bad habits that lead me astray. It’s not about today’s workout, or tomorrow’s, or next months, but the consistent work put in day to day. It’s about the long term goal that maybe years from being achieved but takes those tiny consistent steps day in and day out. Put in the consistent work and trust in the process.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I thought about what I was going to say and the word that kept coming to my mind was PATIENCE. Over the past few years, I have kept a lot close to the vest regarding my own struggles in life. In growing older and joining groups like F3, I’m learning the need to get these things off the chest and have the support of men around me. My wife have been struggling a few years trying to have a child. I often get irked and frustrated when I meet people and they say that I ought to have children at this point in my life. I’ve tried to turn those frustrations over to God as of recently and it has helped me. I pray for Gods timing on matters and realize that it may not align with my own wants. So whether it is meant to happen or not, I will find a purpose for how God wants to use me in the future— child or not. Patience is very difficult for all of us. With whatever you are waiting on/ hoping for/ wanting, I pray that you find the bigger purpose in timing that may or may not go your way.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
College football season is upon us and it’s my favorite time of the year. I’m a huge Georgia fan so I’ve been reminiscing on some past seasons. During a recent season which Georgia did well, the head coach created a mantra which the team adopted: “keep the main thing the main thing.” As someone who has been getting bogged down with negative energy recently I feel like we can all take something from this. Focus on what you need to do in life and cut out the distraction or those with negative input who keep you from your purpose. We all have things/people that try and keep us from achieving goals. Cut the noise and stay the path.

MOLESKIN:
“Keep the main thing the main thing.”

Welcome back Spurt! Great to have you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I threw it back to my first beat down that Hammy led on May 9, 2020. F3 has meant so much to me and I’ve shared so many good times with all these men. I tell everyone how it has helped me become more disciplined in my life when I am attending regularly from my diet to my faith. From a camping trip, to cook outs, and events, I’ve gotten to know quite a few men that have helped to build me up and push me physically but also with my discipline and faith. With the dwindling numbers at the AOs, it’s sad to see that there are men out there that need our help just like I needed F3 over a year ago. I challenge each one of use to speak to one person about F3 each day over the course of the next week and invite them to a workout. Iron can’t sharpen iron if folks aren’t present with us.

MOLESKIN:
Proverbs 27:17

“As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.”

I love old country music. I was recently listening to “You’ve got to stand for something” by Aaron Tippin. As I get older I realize the need for me to stand up in the things that I believe in and not waiver from them. If you died today, would people know what YOU stood for? Put your effort and energy into those things that you stand for daily.

MOLESKIN:
“You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything
You’ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name
You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Aaron Tippin
