CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes when that alarm goes off at 4:30 am we probably ask ourselves why.  Well recently one of our PAX shared a little wisdom with us.  “Getting old ain’t for sissies!”  That really got me thinking about what makes up a good long life, and what we don’t always think about is the suck.  You are going to hurt, your kids are going to keep you up all night, and basically life is just going to keep kicking your ass.  But here at F3 we have a little secret, and that’s the mental toughness we forge each morning.  We are preparing our minds and body for the suck, so when life does get tough we are ready.  Our family and friends rely on this strength, so be prepared and keep embracing the gloom.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM::
Lately I’ve been doing a little introspection, and I came across this quote regarding the power of silence.  I hope you like it.

If you have a gift with words, learn to keep your mouth shut; when you speak, punctuate with a pause; and when you have nothing to say, say nothing.

Your silence passes many messages; one is that you are somebody, but nobody, a person able to face a crowd and to wait.  This is an almost biological power of the big secure animal looking at harmless ones.  People understand or better said they feel.  After this you have a better chance to be listened to.

I don’t think we always consider silence as a tool for conversation, but sometimes it’s exactly what we need.  This applies to our personal and work relationships.  Lately, I have been trying to be more deliberate with my conversations, and I think the impact can be pretty profound.  Sometimes  just not saying anything can be the best policy.
