SSHs, shoulder blasters, a decision to make. Enjoy the great outdoors and maybe get wet? Or retire to the Pavalon where it’s dry but dark, and where Gibbler still smells?

We did a little Rte 66+ up the dragon to warm up, and just when @Tecmo was feeling good about his decision to come this morning, we pivoted to the Pavalon and partnered up. A Pavalon partner pivot.

Lots of Rainy Day Burpees followed by various break excercises, including the TRC/Crab legs , the rumors of whose banishment from this platform have been greatly exaggerated.

My only regret is not having a speaker and not being able to shock tender snowflake sensibilities with some of my favorite música en español.

Faith, in my understanding, is an abject dependence. For most of us it comes from desperation and failure. But how else could we ever truly live?

Grateful for a presidential hospital visit. Grateful for a life, and for the challenges and rewards of a new life together.

5 HIMS met Sunday morning with fellowship and coffee to discuss Getting Right!

Many points were brought up Sunday morning concerning this topic.

– Pursuing Proper personal Alignment
– Mastering self control
– Personal fitness

Embodiment of the G3L
Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right Leave Right

We touched on how a man is constantly getting right on a daily basis as well as how a man cannot effectively help others if he cannot help himself.

Also how a man’s Concentrica plays a role in helping or hurting with getting right.

Commitment as well to daily discipline and breaking the status quo by taking active ownership of his life and avoiding becoming complacent were also touched on in our discussion.

COT:
Great Leaders are intent on leaving a legacy that will resound to their Groups’ Advantage long after they have gone. Knowing their leadership tenure is limited by human mortality, they get prepared for the expected event of their departure by developing new Leaders. Because they cannot predict the precise time of their departure, they stay ready for the unexpected by ensuring that the Leaders they develop are ready right now instead of sometime tomorrow. Great Leaders are constantly working themselves out of a job.

“But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.””
‭‭- Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬-‭28‬
