ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ruck to Big Ball on Aug 26
COT: Show Up
There’s an old quote that I think has some truth, “80% of life is just showing up.” At F3 we talk about being high impact men. So we gotta show up to do that. I want to encourage you that you did show up today. I’ve heard it many times during a work out, “At least you got out of the bed and came out to the workout.” Its hard sometimes to show up and we have to balance the different spheres of our lives. We have jobs, families, church responsibilities, etc. Sometimes we spread ourselves too thin, bite off more than we can chew, and we have to step back and adjust our schedule. But, I think its better to bite off more than we can chew and fail at something rather than not show up to whatever in our lives. This is how we grow l. Like here and now each workout we show up for, if we are regular, then we grow. When we show up opportunities will present themselves. So, be intentional and show up and see what happens. This word is probably more for me than anyone else here.

COT:
This was a you v. you workout, not a you v. me workout. Someone once said “When you compare yourself to others, you either win or lose.” It is easy to do, but it is not helpful.

You are either puffed up by pride if you are better than someone else, or you are beat down by shame if you are worse.

But there is a better way!

Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you : do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
