PT Barnum once said “Comfort is the enemy of progress.”…It’s only when we step outside our comfort zone that we truly improve.

Encourage and challenge the Pax to step out of their comfort zones

  • stepping up to Q a beatdown
  • stepping into leadership wit the Arsenal AO launch
  • Sign up and commit to your first 5K or Marathon
  • Maybe you have already done the above, how about an obstacle course? Hardship Hill plug 🙂
  • What about 50 miles….100? crazy! ya, but why not?!

Maybe this resonates more from a job standpoint for you, have you become complacent in your work environment, let this be a call out to dig for more!

If your walking in fear you not walking in faith

One word seems to keep showing up whenever I have reflection and that’s COURAGE. Two quotes on courage spoke to me last night.

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. – Maya Angelou

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not knows no release from little things. – Amelia Earhart

I challenge us all to take on life with courage, lead with it, share it with those close to you, and be a shining example in our communities. Lead with courage and don’t be tempted by fear.

MOLESKIN:
Please keep one of my employees in your prayers, her father suffered a major heart attack and is in the ICU. Also my daughter starts playing lacrosse tomorrow, first time ever. Keep her in your prayers that she is safe but also has the drive and passion to be successful.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
– Michael Jordan

I have a tendency to always look for the immediate outcome and gratification in my life. Trust the process. Grind it out everyday with fitness, work, and faith life. We are going to fail. It’s not about this workout today. It’s about the culmination of workouts over the duration of weeks, months, years that make us who we are. The same goes for our faith. We might not have an immediate prayer answered but stay true and stay consistent. Put in the work with prayer, confession, love your neighbor and your God consistently and eventually we will get there. Trust the process!

MOLESKIN:
Trust the process.

Most of us have heard this poem before. The Road Not Taken- By Robert Frost 

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;……

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Building off of last Friday’s talk about leaving no regrets. It take a special man to travel down the road no one wants to go. Often that takes courage to find the opportunities others are afraid of. Getting up to work hard, being leaders in our homes and communities is not for everyone. The road taken by many is the easy road. Don’t be afraid to travel down the road others tell you is not passable.

As men in todays society  we carry a lot of the blame and burden for the challenges our world faces. From toxic masculinity to not being man enough. However its important that we all take time to pat ourselves on the back and give yourself some self love for not being afraid to take The Road Not Taken.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
How many men can break a CMU? Most if not all. A chimp could break one if it wanted. How man men can build a CMU? Fewer. How many men can restore a brocken CMU to full strength when it has been broken? Even fewer. It is easy to break things. Our relationships can be broken by harsh words or neglect. Our faith can be broken in the same way if we let it. But you men got up early to build up your bodies. Keep that going throughout the day. Build up your relationships. Build up your faith. It is the harder, but better way. How much more precious is it that our God restores our brokenness? Let us image Him today and be builders and restorers.

Blood Drive on Friday. Check the slack for more details. CSAUP at lakeshore park on Saturday Morning. Beer Ruck on Saturday night.
