13 men strong this morning. No FNGs.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I didn’t really prepare anything this morning, so I just talked a little about my experiences the past couple months. The last two months I have only made it to a few F3 workouts (if that) and I have been stress eating a lot. I’ve gained back about 12-15 pounds of the weight that I had lost since I started F3. I have been so busy and stressed that I started shutting down. I realized that when I get to that point, I put myself down. I am hard on myself for not getting things done. I get mad at myself for not doing 28 hours of work in a 24 hour day and I am very unhealthy. Instead of (as Tony Horton would say) doing my best and forgetting the rest, I do an ok job and then beat myself up for not doing better. I am going to try to do better and keep myself healthy the next time that I get that busy. One great thing about F3 is that we have men we can lean on and talk to when things get tough. Instead of leaning on my F3 brothers, I kept my distance. We all go through times when we feel overwhelmed and stressed. We need to approach these times with our heads up and our brothers on our 6. Staying healthy and talking to our brothers are two of the most important things we can do to stay happy in this life.
MOLESKIN:
Keep praying for Bumblebee and his family.

MOLESKIN:
Always people or things ready to bring you down . Misery loves company . Well, we don’t go looking for it everyday but we should prepare for negativity physically and mentally. F3 is one way to do that. Getting up early, doing a brutal workout not only prepares you physically but also prepares you mentally to take on life in a positive way. Embrace the suck and swallow the toad now!

Humility
I’ve found myself thinking about the necessity of humility lately.  I’ve started a new job, and I’m still in that awkward phase of trying to figure out where I fit in. However, it occurred to me that my own ego might be getting in the way.  When we put our own self-worth above others we find ourselves alone with only our own ego to defend.  True humility allows us to listen, ask for help, and opens our minds to new points of view.  It should not to be confused with modesty, because while modesty is also a good trait to possess it doesn’t always reflect our true feelings.  In summary, let’s all strive to have a little more humility in our lives so that we can be better leaders, parents, spouses, and friends.
