F3 Men’s retreat –
COT:
They say that the Good is the enemy of Great. Because if you’re content with being good, you’ll never push to be Great. However, Perfection is less than Good, because it can stop you from even getting started.
I am a recovering Perfectionist. Early in life when something wasn’t right, I would approach the problem with a hammer seeking swift correction. Instead of approaching it like a Scientist and inspecting it with a flashlight. It’s not wrong, it needs work. This has helped bring understanding as a Husband, parent and co-worker. We’re all going to have good days and bad days. Let’s be understanding when someone else isn’t at their best because we know what that’s like ourselves.

Go Forward today Men with Appreciation, Boldness, and Curiosity.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: My son Shuttlecock just found out yesterday that he leaves for Basic this Monday instead of next Monday. He’s now trying to cram in a lot of things that he thought he had more time for. A small reminder that we all may not have as much time as we think. Live so that if you ran out of time tomorrow you would not have regrets.
