The COT was short and sweet. A verse from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (NIV) Or translated another way, Happy are people who are humble, because they will inherit the earth. (CEB)

All that to say, this is a behavior of Jesus, and modeling his role should be a goal for all of us.

Philippians is often known as the “Epistle of Joy.”
Paul wrote this letter from jail.
What can we learn from this?
Your circumstances SHOULD NOT dictate your attitude.

THE THANG:
HIM’s set out on a ruck with normal packs but we also brought along 5 coupons (20,30,40,60,80 lbs). With 7 men we rotated coupons every 0.25 mile. 5 guys working with coupons and two guys with just their rucks. We covered 2.25 miles and there was sufficient grumbling by everyone that encountered the 80lber.
We then took a lap .44 without any coupons to speak of for recovery.

Fun was had by most, suck was embraced by all.

COT:
Don’t let anyone outwork or out-hustle you for your dreams. We drew a parallel of certain people who will do just about anything with an end use in mind. Don’t let them work harder on their goal than you are working on yours.
