CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

If you want the life you want, it will cost you the life you have.

Proverbs 13:19- A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.

New Living Translation- It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

All change starts with telling the truth about how things are now. Observe your habits- what do you tell yourself, where are you or what are you doing when you mess up your goals. You live on brain patterns. We don’t know that we’re checked out until we check back in. It’s amazing what change you can drive when you do check in.

“You step in 0% of the dog poop that you see.”

  • Practice is a process, not a destination. Did you know self guided missles miss there target 90% of the time? They have an algorithmic called course correction.
  • Who do you want to be on November 20th? Set goals for your work, biological, and family self. Identify one goal for each that you can do this week

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“About thirty years ago there was much talk that geologists ought only to observe and not theorise; and I well remember some one saying that at this rate a man might as well go into a gravel-pit and count the pebbles and describe the colours. How odd it is that anyone should not see that all observation must be for or against some view if it is to be of any service!” — Charles Darwin

I was asked to interpret this quote last Friday. While it’s intended for science, the applicability of this quote has relevance to this time. Every day we make observations, but many times we let them stay as observations. Sometimes this is okay.. but if we extend this quote to our lives today, I think what Darwin is linking is the connection between observation and action. Observations of rocks are useless without taking action into how and why the observations matter. In the same way, F3 nation seeks to inspire HIM who not only can make observations, but transform those observations into actions to make our communities a better place. Let’s not be passive, but instead take a stand for justice and truth in our communities, and inspire others to do the same.

MOLESKIN:

The mumblechatter was high today! Good work everyone.
