CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Rember your why and make that your focus
MOLESKIN:
I am leaving in a week and a half to do a hike of the GSMNP boundary, and I made a post about it in the Smokies Facebook Group page. After that I recieved lots of good lucks and comments and my first reaction “now I have to finish.” However, I reminded myself that the real reason I’m doing this is to push myself and have a good experience. I had to remind myself of my why.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Very simple. Just listen. (set a timer for 1 minute to listen quietly). If you’re anything like me, that silence can feel really awkward and it is tempting to fill it up with unimportant jabber. But as leaders, we need to lean into that uncomfortable silence and be available for the people around us. So lead through listening with your family, your work mates, and your neighbors.

MOLESKIN:
N/A

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Need a couple more guys to commit to helping establish a 2 day a week AO out in Seymour. Talk to Rep Sleepy if you’re interested.

Also, breakfast at drifters will likely be postponed due to family vacation and Easter. So look for it later in the month.

Servant Leadership —

A key tenet of servant leadership is that servant leaders inspire their followers to emulate the leader’s behavior by prioritizing the needs of others above their own. Ukrainian President  Zelensky is providing a master class on the skillful display of servant leadership through leading by example and refusing to leave his people behind. “I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition”. Extremely powerful.

As Christian men, the devil is constantly trying to pick battles with us mentally, physically, and emotionally. We must stand firm on the promises of God and lead our families, colleagues, etc. the right way.
