CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be willing to share the need for prayer in the COT after a workout. I resist even sharing simple requests because either I don’t think it’s important enough or I don’t like to show/admit a need.  It’s pride that keeps us from doing it, but its a privilege to pray for each other. When someone shares a prayer request, remember them and pray for them throughout the week!

12 HIMs and 1 2.0.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve been struggling this week. Negative self thoughts, mental and physical fatigue with work, and frustrations with unanswered prayers have filled me up. It’s good to be out here together with this group and recharge my batteries.

Yesterday, I got a text from a fellow HIM after a long day checking on me. It gave me strength and refocused me. Don’t forget our 2nd F. Check on each other, offer words of encouragement, and send text messages/ make phone calls. You never know what someone is going through internally based off how they appear on the exterior. Reach out to someone today whether text message or phone call. We are called to be a brotherhood and while fitness and faith are integral pieces, fellowship amongst us ties it all together.

MOLESKIN:

Remove some cards from decks next time as a lot of repeats (too many iron mikes)

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10

”Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.”

FNG 2.0 Miracle- Welcome to the PAX!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
the ideal team player, Patrick Lencioni- leadership fable

  • model is someone who is humble hungry and smart
  • Humble- “Humility is the single greatest and most indispensable attribute of being a team player”
  • Hungry- ” Hunger people almost never have to be pushed by a manager or leader to work harder because they are self motivated and diligent”
  • Smart- Lencioni says this is the hardest and most important to define. ” Smart simply refers to a persons common sense about people”  They ask good questions, listen to what oters are saying and stay engaged in conversation intently.
  • ” What makes humble, hungry and smart powerful and unique is the the individual attributes themselves but rather the required combination”
  • this apply to our lives outside of our professional lives. As HIM’s we have roles in our family, community,  and in the PAX that we can demonstrated values of an ideal team player.
  • Lencioni closes the book applying these principles to life outside. He says “A humble , hungry, and smart spouse, parent, friend, or neighbor is going to be a more effective, inspiring, and attractive person- one that draws others to them and serves others better” ” But I must admit that apart from the other two virtues humility stands alone. It is, indeed, the greatest of all virtues and the antithesis of pride, which is the root of all sin, according to the Bible. The most compelling example of humility in the history of mankind can be found in Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. He attracted people of all kinds when he walked the earth, and continues to do so today, providing an example of humility that is as powerful as it is countercultural.”
