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.

We had a fire, we had hot coffee, and we had four men willing to talk about hard things. Today it was centered around Sua Ponte Leadership, those are big words that we broke down into how we need a mission to be effective leaders. The team needs to know the mission so that they can be prepared. It was a tremendous morning, and I value this time together.

 COT:  I need constant help with contentment. I get laser focused on something like a new pair of shoes, a car, house, a watch, etc. I want what I do not have, but I have been blessed with so much. I am so thankful for what I have. My family, my health, my job, etc.
I do t want to wait until Thanksgiving to appreciate what has been given to me.
