CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
College football season is upon us and it’s my favorite time of the year. I’m a huge Georgia fan so I’ve been reminiscing on some past seasons. During a recent season which Georgia did well, the head coach created a mantra which the team adopted: “keep the main thing the main thing.” As someone who has been getting bogged down with negative energy recently I feel like we can all take something from this. Focus on what you need to do in life and cut out the distraction or those with negative input who keep you from your purpose. We all have things/people that try and keep us from achieving goals. Cut the noise and stay the path.

MOLESKIN:
“Keep the main thing the main thing.”

Resilience. Just learned about creepy AI that is learning how to exploit weaknesses in human decision making. To me this means we need to have some resolve on the things that matter and be resistant. We just learned we can do this physically. But we also need to do this mentally and emotionally too. Just know that you can make it, and you have brothers right there with you all along the way.

“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have laid dormant” Horace (Roman Poet)

we talked about our nation’s wounded veterans and first responders and how they overcome adversity With the help of operation enduring warrior. We discussed the Hardship Hill and how they can get involved.

MOLESKIN:
I was expecting an absolute downpour this morning, but gladly took just a steady light rain. It was actually kind of refreshing kind of like doing a Nestea plunge into a pool while holding an ice tea. I always enjoy coming out to the bomb shelter, guys here are solid hard-working dudes. Did you know that The Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann was born in Alcoa. Although he moved to California to grow up, we can still claim him as a Alcoan. I have been a lifelong Steelers fan my entire life, but really haven’t watched much football in the last 6 years. Don’t care for the product anymore. What I do care for is a nice pizza pie. I’ve had pizza every day this week. Am I getting sick of it?….no. That and Mexican food I can eat pretty much every day. Although my bowels would disagree with me. Speaking of, as I mentioned to Woodshack this morning, I had the urge to go mid work out. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me. Thank God it subsided. My son came out to F3 and got named backsplash because he could not get it to subside. Don’t think he cares for that nickname too much. Well I’ve got to get going and get ready to have some breakfast with my father-in-law. He is a great guy and I’m happy to have him in my life. Everyone have a great day and I hope you enjoyed the work out and back blast. If so post a gorilla 🦍 emoji on the slack post, you will be a part of the very Exclusive I read tanks back blast club.
