Black swan is a Crazy unexpected disastrous event

What are we:

1. Fragile

2. resilient and survive

3. anti-fragile , be durable and thrive 

Thriving  in the chaos of the unpredictable. 

MOLESKIN:
Let’s strive to be anti fragile ! That does not mean we go beat our chests and become tough guys, so to speak. It means we should prepare / practice to thrive in daily life. Could be a Q you have coming up or that business proposal or family life , etc…  the point is that if we are prepared and fit to thrive in our situation , what ever it may be, we will be able to adapt in a positive way to anything unpredictable.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“A warrior doesn’t have to be someone who is in the military. It’s an archetype within all of us. We all need to draw upon our warrior when we need to be firm and resolved–when we are clear where we stand and we don’t want to get pushed around. But to be a warrior you need to know where you stand and what your lines of demarcation are. Because if you don’t stand for something you fall for anything. And if you don’t stand for something and some bully comes along–whether that bully is an organization or your dad or your brother or anyone else in the world, then you’re not going to have the resolve to fight back. So the warrior ethos starts with cultivating a personal ethos, which is deep clarity around these questions–What is my purpose in life? What am I passionate about and how am I going to align those? And what are my principles that are going to keep me aligned as I move towards that? And develop a very profound vision of what that looks like for you.”

Mark Divine”

I honestly haven’t really defined my passion and my purpose so I cannot connect the 2. I want to meditate on this and find them.
MOLESKIN:
Most ran the loop and some occasionally modified. I think a couple got 5 rounds in and most 3+.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently I have been thinking about relationships, both with my wife and with my friends. I once heard some of the best relationship advice I think is out there. “Don’t keep score on favors, just do nice things for each other because you care about them.” My wife is in graduate school currently and she gets tired and exhausted by the end of the day like most of us. Even when we both are sitting on the couch, if she asked if I can get up and get her something, I don’t hesitate. I don’t really know what it is like to be in graduate school but I do know it takes a toll on her. Even tho I am tired too, I care about her enough to jump off the couch and get what she asked. I don’t keep count on how many times this happens because I don’t do it to have her do it for me later. I know she cares about be that when I am having a bad day, she will do the same.

Just do nice things for others because you care about them and because you are a nice person. Don’t do things for others so they will do things for you later. DON’T KEEP SCORE!! IT’S NOT A GAME TO WIN!!

Asking for help is ok. Emotionally as men we may bottle up our feeling because if we ask for help we think there is something wrong with us. Just like we need help from our brothers out here to get better physically we need to rely on our brothers and significant people in our lives to get better emotionally.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Hot Spots, we all have them. These are areas of insecurity or a nerve that gets touched. Maybe it’s anger in relation to a familiar trigger, maybe its self-doubt or a habitual sin.  When they show up, it’s never pretty. The devil can take a hold of you in these moments because you allow yourself get so wrapped around the axle when they pop up. Each time that hot spot gets lit up you can’t love others the way you were created to. You stop showing up as the best version of yourself because you are focused on the sin/insecurity/fill in the blank.
Stop in those moments and listen to the truth about yourself:  You were created in His image and He doesn’t make mistakes. You are a well-loved and cared for son of an Almighty God.
Take that hot spot and lay it down at the foot of the cross, leave it there. Pick up the Truth about yourself and refer back to it in your heart and mind when and if that hot spot ever pops back up.
