COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sticking your neck out for what’s right.

I used an example of my wife stepping up and taking on several people that were not doing what was right. She was willing to put her neck out there and take on a lot of work, lose relationships and even have people talk bad about her even though she did nothing wrong.

Its tough to stand up sometimes when you know if you do it could cause heartache. But, we need to stand up for what’s right and not let bad things happen as we turn the other way. I was very proud of my wife and I learned that she is not afraid to put herself on the line for what’s right.
MOLESKIN:
Great to see all the still sore GoRuckers out there loosening up those muscles. Awesome job fellas!

24 came out to get better! 2 FNG’s – Overnight and Gecko. Welcome!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I’ve been trying to focus on my mental strength. There’s a difference between your body giving up and your mind giving up. Push yourself, learn the difference. This applies to not only our exercising, but to our daily lives. Its much easier to give up than it is to focus and push through a difficult situation. Work on your mental strength, push yourself.

“When someone tells me no, it doesn’t mean I can’t do it, it simply means I can’t do it with them.”

“Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.”

“We love being mentally strong, but we hate situations that allow us to put our mental strength to good use.”

“Attitude is 100% under your control.”

“If your mindset is defeated, the results will be the same no matter how often you put up a physical fight.”

Discussed how sin can grab a hold of anyone regardless of  background, wealth, looks, ethnicity, intelligence and any other factor. Everyone struggles with something and the only way to get fully through it is with God’s help.  Be honest with yourself and ask for God‘s help. He will get you through it.
