CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We each took a moment to reflect on what F3 has meant to each of us. While each member of the PAX’s experience has been unique there was one major theme across all of our stories. That was that F3 is more than a workout and the brotherhood, support and connection the PAX provides is the most important thing. We can all get a workout in but F3 stands for more and that’s what drives us to get up in the morning or to get out into the rain or cold or heat.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was struggling this week, both physically and mentally. Body had been pushed, mind had been worked. I did not want to workout today, but every time i think about not going i feel more regret. F3 has been such a blessing to my life. it has pushed me to new heights and challenged me more than i could ever expect. You can go to a gym and hit some reps, but we are strengthening and stretching our bodies, mind’s, and souls.

We have to remember that the challenges in front of us are just that challenges. Luckily the sun rises the next day and we have a chance to make it the best day possible. As i was preparing for the Q i was looking over a book of leadership quotes and i found this from FDR

” The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong faith”

Don’t let today’s challenges hold you back from making tomorrow the best day possible.
MOLESKIN:
I want to thank the PAX for pushing me to be better every day. Keep Charging!! There are great things coming for F3 Maryville!!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

FNG 2.0 Miracle- Welcome to the PAX!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
the ideal team player, Patrick Lencioni- leadership fable

  • model is someone who is humble hungry and smart
  • Humble- “Humility is the single greatest and most indispensable attribute of being a team player”
  • Hungry- ” Hunger people almost never have to be pushed by a manager or leader to work harder because they are self motivated and diligent”
  • Smart- Lencioni says this is the hardest and most important to define. ” Smart simply refers to a persons common sense about people”  They ask good questions, listen to what oters are saying and stay engaged in conversation intently.
  • ” What makes humble, hungry and smart powerful and unique is the the individual attributes themselves but rather the required combination”
  • this apply to our lives outside of our professional lives. As HIM’s we have roles in our family, community,  and in the PAX that we can demonstrated values of an ideal team player.
  • Lencioni closes the book applying these principles to life outside. He says “A humble , hungry, and smart spouse, parent, friend, or neighbor is going to be a more effective, inspiring, and attractive person- one that draws others to them and serves others better” ” But I must admit that apart from the other two virtues humility stands alone. It is, indeed, the greatest of all virtues and the antithesis of pride, which is the root of all sin, according to the Bible. The most compelling example of humility in the history of mankind can be found in Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. He attracted people of all kinds when he walked the earth, and continues to do so today, providing an example of humility that is as powerful as it is countercultural.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Consider a parent who says, “Look at the sacrifices I’m making so you can have a better life.” Contrast that with another parent who demonstrates living a great life every day. Self-sacrifice is not a virtue. Living a great life and sharing that life with others is the noble way to live.
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie

This is something I have struggled with especially as a young parent. I often find myself feeling disrespected by my daughter and my initial reaction is to say “look what I’ve done for you”. We have to remember as leaders of our family and community, sacrifice is not spoke it’s an action. Those around us will see that action and follow our lead of it is right. Make that sacrifice in your life not by speaking but by doing.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset- Important as leaders we realize we are not defined by are abilities. Fixed mindsets tell us that our abilities, traits and intelligence is fixed, we have a certain amount and that’s it. Growth mindsets tell us those abilities, talents can be developed through effort, teaching and PERSISTENCE. Fixed mindsets can often prevent important skill development and growth. this can sabotage your health and happiness. Commit to the process of training like a champion don’t worry about winning the championship. Its not about the results, its about building the identity of the type of person who gets to enjoy those results.

MOLESKIN:
Keep Swerve in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
