A quote from Nirmal Purja, the man who beat the record for summitting the 14 highest peaks in the world.

“Sometimes when you think you’re f@%*ked, you’re only 45% f!%*ked”
MOLESKIN:
I wanted to mary today with thunderburpees because it puts you in a mindset of “I can’t do this” yet we did it anyways. One of the best things about F3 is it pushes us to not only become physically stronger, but mentally as well

Agility roulette. Set up a bunch of Agility cones. One PAX calls out an exercise for all to do until they get back. Then the next person calls a new one while they run the cones and so on… surprisingly, no repeated movements. Well done y’all.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Kind of a silly thing, but was listening to a workmate learn the hard lesson of not going to the dealership for tire issues and payed way more than needed for a new tire when a patch would have worked. Reminded me of the importance of learning from other people’s experiences, mistakes, and wisdom. Sometimes, it is super practical like the tire thing. But the ultimate example of this is Christ. We can trust His testimony having proved Himself via miracles and being vindicated through His resurrection which hundreds of people witnessed. If we are to learn from anyone’s experiences, it is His.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Managing your thought life. Col. 3:2 tells us to set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. This made me think about all the places our minds wander throughout the day and what the outcome would be if instead of allowing minds to aimlessly wander we were intentional about focusing on the Lord. Its a small change that could have a big impact on our lives.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 3:13-14

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

These verses talk about how we are to grow in our faith. What are we each doing to grow? It is not enough to just grow our physical strength. We must work at being better fathers, husbands, and men as hard as we work to improve physically. We must work at our faith by reading God’s Word, praying, and spending time with fellow believers.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With the new year, it is a good opportunity to reorient on what is important and make a plan to invest time in those important things constantly. It took me like 3 or 4 times of listening to my boss deliver the same time/life management class before it really sunk in with me to invest small amounts of time regularly in the important things in my life. I encourage you to think about what is really important and prioritize time invested in those things.
MOLESKIN:
What are the top 3 most important things in your life?

How should we wisely spend out time

  • In light of my past experiences
  • In light of my current responsibilities
  • In light of my future hopes and dreams
  • There is a cumulative value to investing small amounts in certain activities over a long period of time
  • There are rarely any immediate consequences for neglecting single installments of time in any arena of life
  • Neglect has a cumulative effect
  • There is no cumulative value to the urgent things that we allow to interfere with the important things.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Breakfast at Drifter’s on the 8th. And every 2nd Saturday of the month this year.
