COT:
Q shared importance of sprint distance. 2,555 days is 7 years. It’s been that long since my bone marrow transplant after battling leukemia.
Some days you wake up and have an idea as to what will happen and some days the dice of fate you give you hardship. Along the way there have been ups and downs and issues galore but thankful to be on this side of it all.
Going into my fight I was as lukewarm in life as one could be, but that quickly changed as God kept peeking through in numerous ways. It helped to have a strong support system that continues to this day and has grown with F3. It’s an honor to be out with yall in the mornings.

COT:

Togetherness. This workout was a “Together” workout. All exercising, counting, and moving in sync with each other. Progressing together. It’s easy to go solo, to not ask for help, to be alone as a man. It can result in us struggling alone, or winning in private. Neither is as enjoyable as the alternative. Life is just better together…it’s not always easier, but it’s better. We were made to experience life interactively amongst peers, friends, and spouses…each has their place.

I have a personal struggle with my relationship with food. It’s something that’s been demonstrated over decades that I cannot control. I’m not sure what woke me up on it, but this month is a month to fight back for me. To involve others, cause I know what failure feels like alone, and I cannot imagine any victory without accountability and involvement from others. My encouragement is to lean in to being around other trustworthy guys, invite them into some things you are enjoying or some things you may be processing through.

COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬
