CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When I’m with my kids I often blurt out the risk I see them taking – “don’t fall off that wall”, “don’t spill that drink”.  Telling someone not to fall makes them think about falling and usually leads to them doing the very thing I don’t want to happen.  Instead, to foster a Growth Mindset I should tell them the Mitigation – that thing they can positively do to protect themselves – “Watch where you are putting your feet”, “Carry your drink carefully”.

As HIMs we should try to affect the people around us positively and help them to get better by telling them the mitigation, not make them focus on the risk.

MOLESKIN:
This was my VQ.  Thanks to the PAX for following my lead and swinging those rocks.  From my post Q high, I’d recommend it to all the HIMS at the back to step forward and do it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Everyone at the workout got their 100 squats in today.  Post them in the August challenge.

Be in the moment

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We made a stop on the trail and went down to the lake and just stood there for a few minutes to take in the sites. Lake was calm , sun was rising , a paddle boarding in the distance , just enjoying the moment. Yes, we were there to workout and get better physically but sometimes you just need to stop and be in the moment
MOLESKIN:
For me today was about just being in the moment. Sometimes it’s just what we need, for me at least. Yes, I am looking to push my self to the limits, I have a “why” I push my self , I love philosophy and learning about the meaning of life. I love looking deep into my why and trying to figure it all out. But, I love just being in the moment too.  I think I need more of it and really just enjoy life as it is. Look NO further than you have to, just be. Sometimes , we make it more complicated than what it is. I am certainly guilty of it and will continue to “go deep” into living life to its fullest. In order to live life to its fullest is to BE IN THE MOMENT! Go have a great day and take it in brothas!!

Remember how your words impact others around you. Positive words keep people around you positive, negative words bring you and those around you down.
Ephesians 4:29 NIV
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Proverbs 17:27-28 NIV
27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. 28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

Great response for the new AO Launch at The Equalizer (formerly known as Carl Cowan Park).

Brief rundown on the history of Carl Cowan and his fight for equality in Knoxville. Change is inevitable, be ready, get ready, be in charge of the change you want in your life. Evolve- do not be the same man you were last year, 5 years ago… be better.

F3 Knoxville experienced change today- new AO & it was a wonderful morning.

MOLESKIN:
S/O to Frosty, Mayberry, Junk, and Abacus for being with us in the SuperOcho/NirvanaNine quest. Awesome work men! We welcomed “Central Park” to the group and he came in with some respect!

We prayed for Landline and his family as they transition to St. Thomas. Yes, the Virgin Islands. Godspeed brother!

We prayed for Sliderule and his family and for Abacus’ Aunt.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Equalizer will meet on Saturdays only for now but vibe was to expand the schedule. More info soon. Coffeteria at Dunkin Donuts was only letdown of the morning. New spot coming next week.
