A QUOTE FROM MARK MANSON’S “THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F@&K”

“Our crisis is no longer material; it’s existential, it’s spiritual. We have so much f@&king stuff and so many opportunities that we don’t even know what to give a f#$k about anymore.”
MOLESKIN 

Humans are programmed to solve problems. It’s what kept us alive. However, as society has evolved to fix problems like hunger and medicine, our need to solve problems hasn’t changed. This had made humans in general treat small problems as big problems. What’s great about F3 is that we are constantly giving ourselves problems to solve. When you’ve got to overcome doing 20 blockees or running a mile uphill, all of a sudden having 5 missed emails isn’t so bad.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:14-22‬

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:1-3‬

We need men that have free reign to do all these things that Paul mentions in our lives. When we try to live alone, we will fail and end up in the ditch because we have no guardrails to keep us on the path. This is the basic concept of what F3 calls the Shieldlock. It is a group of 3-4 men that have made the dedication to be held accountable by one another. They have made the promise to be 100% honest about their struggles. They have made the commitment to see each other regularly outside of the gloom. We each need this in our life, the question now is: Are you willing to have it? My cards are on the table, I am calling myself out. I know my need in this area, what about you?

Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not.  Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance, self control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the idle will never know.

CIRCLE OF TRUST / BOM: Wisdom is in the work and in accepting feedback. I am learning that if I start my day the hard way the rest of the day goes way better. I am grateful for a brotherhood in the gloom.

MOLESKIN:

PROVERBS 9 – NIV

1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved its seven columns.

2 She has prepared a great banquet, mixed the wines, and set the table.

3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come. She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.

4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says,

5 “Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed.

6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”

7Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.

8 So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.

9 Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.

10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

11 Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.

12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

 

Folly Calls for a Hearing

13 The woman named Folly is brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.

14 She sits in her doorway on the heights overlooking the city.

15 She calls out to men going by who are minding their own business.

16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says,

17 “Stolen water is refreshing; food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
