CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A lot of times we tell ourselves that we don’t want to do something. Sometimes we just have to do it and not think about it. I did not want to get up this morning and work out, because my legs were so sore from the last few days. I force myself to take the Q so I would get up. I’m much happier because I did.

More importantly than that, there are several times in life when we feel like we should do something but we stop ourselves from doing it. When someone needs help we think to ourselves, I’m not qualified to do that, or I don’t know them that well to help them, that’s not my skill set etc. When people need help they don’t need people saying to them…call me if you need anything, or I’m here if you need me. Step in. Tell them, I’m coming by to help you on Tuesday….is that a good day? Or I’m bringing you a meal, what day is best. Or, let’s go have coffe and talk, how is Mon morning? No one wants to ask for help.

MOLESKIN:
Hard work was achieved by the PAX this morning. Not much chatter but we got it done

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about example of doing a mud race with my wife and being too self centered and wanting to run it and do it fast. My wife is not in the shape I’m in and really struggled. I got irritated and she could sense it and along with the fact we got there late and she hates the shape that she is in, ended up having a small panic attack. It litterly took that for my dumb ass to figure out that the day was not about me running a race but about spending time with my wife and the mother of my children.

so…..when you spend time with your family, BE THERE for them mentally as well.
MOLESKIN:
Good chatter this morning and some new guys are adding some good energy to the PAX

Story from Rabbi Abraham Twerski

“‘Young man. Why are you eating that fish?’ The young mans says, ‘Because I love fish.’ He says, ‘Oh. You love the fish. That’s why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’ He says, ‘Don’t tell me you love the fish. You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you; therefore, you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’

“So much of what is love is fish love. Young couple falls in love. Young man and young woman fall in love. What does that mean? That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all of his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write, that was love, but each one is looking out for their own needs. It’s not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle for my gratification.

‌

“Too much of what is called love is fish love. An external love is not on what I’m going to get but I’m going to give. We had an ethicist rabbi Dessler, who said, ‘People make a serious mistake in thinking that you give to those whom you love, and the real answer is you love those to whom you give.’

His point is if I give something to you, I’ve invested myself in you. Since self-love is a given, everybody loves themselves, now that part of me has become in you, there’s part of me in you that I love. True love is a love of giving, not a love of receiving.’

MOLESKIN:
Not a lot of chatter this morning, I’m assuming that means it was a good workout?…
