CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.- Hosea 6:1-2

In making a covenant with the Lord, we are going to be judged harshly. We are finite and the Lord is infinite. If we truly pursue the ideal, the part of us that does not align with the ideal, leaving the part of us that does. If we have no ideal, we have no way to grow. Find an ideal in parts of your life that are less spiritual to grow.

Currently, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the world. Much of it is pessimistic. I thought I could shed some light with the BOM. According to my statistics, the world right now may be the best it has ever been. Steven Pinker just released his book Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. If you do not want to read it you can check out this link- http://humanprogress.org/blog/the-worlds-getting-better-all-the-time

 

The web page cites significant improvements made in 2017.

Despite all the doom and gloom we should remind ourselves that we seem to be doing fairly well for ourselves. In other words, doing the right things has positive results in the world.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The last couple weeks I have felt a bit flat. Things for the most part of gone well. For some reason I have felt a little disinterested in things I usually like. I have been a little more cynical lately. I could not figure out why. I was listening to Joe Rogan’s podcast and he had David Goggins on the podcast. Goggins was explaining what went wrong in his life after he left the airforce, although I think he would say this was a theme of his entire life. He said, “The more comfortable I was, the more uncomfortable my mind was.”

I think that this is true for people. I know it certainly is for me. The last couple of weeks I have not been posting as much and I really think that is why I was feeling off. Getting up in the morning and embracing the suck makes everything better for my day. To make a lateral step I think it relates to the idea that being strong is not about succeeding, it’s about accepting the suffering continuously. So, I would like to thank all of you for posting and being a part of this great community. I am approaching a year in F3, and I think this has been one of the better years of my life. It would not have been without the opportunity to go out and suffer every morning with you all. Cheers!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I have been very focused on some goals. I have been doing a good job of not being distracted, but in the process I think I have lost the ability to catch myself from wandering. To be more clear, I do not catch myself thinking in certain ways. I went for a run recently, and I caught myself just thinking very negatively. I realized that I have not been aware of my thoughts to the point where I can catch myself wandering or thinking negatively. So, I regained control of my mind and thoughts while on the run and finished strong. This I think needs to be transformed to other aspects of my life. I need to catch myself when I am studying, and remind myself why I am doing certain things. I need to catch myself when I am distracted about studying when with my family. I need to try to be better about being present in the moment. I encourage you all to take 5 or 10 minutes during your day to pause and reflect on your thought patterns. If they are maladaptive, try to take control of them. Good work today Gents

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

In many ways our lives today are better than they could have ever been. We can solve most of our problems quickly and efficiently. However, most of our pains and pleasures as well as the pursuits of these are devoid of meaning. I encourage you all to find ways to insert meaningfulness into your lives whenever you can. Certainly for me, F3 has been one avenue for me. There is a sense of community embracing the suck together. Reach out to old friends and try to encourage them to come out, or try to interact with them in another meaningful way. Live purposefully with intent and even the painful days will be worthwhile.
