CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The way I developed this workout was to challenge everyone in areas that they might not feel the strongest like running, pull ups, or shoulder work.

This led me to think about a native American proverb about the constant battle within ourselves.

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

 He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

It’s our choice everyday of which wolf we feed. So day by day, we can decide to feed the good in ourselves and starve the bad. And this might seem like the bad would go away, but when you starve a wolf, it only gets more aggressive, meaning the bad in ourselves can become harder and harder to suppress. But by continuing to keep focus on the good and turning your weaknesses into strengths can we be guided to a better version of ourselves in our faith, a better version of ourselves in our marriage, for our children.

I know you all made that choice to become better by showing up today, so all I ask is to continue through the rest of the day making the same decisions because we have no idea what tomorrow will bring.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Where in your life are you taking shortcuts? I realized that I am so addicted to checking the box that I will try to just get things done as soon as possible and sometimes that includes taking shortcuts. I caught my 12 yo daughter taking shortcuts when cleaning her room and just wanting to get things done. I realized that we’re in the same struggle and I’m just a little further down the road.

John 13:35 – By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Lots of hate today being shown on both sides. Jesus didn’t say we’d be known by our convincing arguments or our persistence in presenting them. It’s by our love. Let’s show who we belong to.
MOLESKIN:
Dung Beetles 100% suck. Entomologically, it would probably be more correct to use large exercise balls and roll them instead of sliding pee rocks. At any rate, I think Tweet-E was the only HIM to complete a full transition in Dung Beetle before modifying to Snowplow…

Urban legend says it takes 21 days to form a habit. Of course, this is an overgeneralization, but… Lockdown was more than 21 days. What habits did you form? Maybe some good, maybe some bad… Step back and evaluate. As things loosen up over the coming days/weeks, make the effort to keep the good and do away with the bad!
MOLESKIN:
One of my bad habits was not working out… That second trip up the matterhorn this morning was a painful reminder of that.

Man can only observe what is in front of him, he must work with a group so that someone else can watch his six. This is why we hold each other accountable and work as a PAX.
