COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As we all know, recently there has been a lot of division in our country. One thing I know that is true is that when I am looking inward only at myself and my needs, I am incapable of seeing and meeting the needs of another. I also know when I put myself before them, I am being selfish. Self-seeking individuals with selfish motives take, keep and divide. However, true outward expressed servant leadership seeks to further the welfare of another and unites.
Each exercise took place at a light pole because as F3 Men and Leaders we are called to be a LIGHT to those around us. Respecting every individual for their uniqueness and creating unity instead of division. Each PAX is as special and unique as the exercise they called out today and the reps performed according to their age. We must celebrate our differences!
The Circle Burp signified that in spite of all of our difficulties and challenges we face (and sometimes those come at the hands of another imposing them upon us), we are all needed in order to make each other better and stronger. I am better because of you, not in spite of you.
The Group Indian Run was intentional in order to create unity and to illustrate that sometimes you lead from the front and sometimes you lead from the back. You must take time to look around you to see who is with you and if anyone is following. Over the next few days, weeks or months pay attention to who you are leading and who you are following.
The BIG QUESTION IS: Where are you going? Why would anyone want to go with you? (John Maxwell) If you look around and no one is with you, you may want to ask yourself if you are truly being a light? Are you serving others, or just self- seeking? Are you dividing or are you uniting?
