COT: It’s never too late to change in life. Your current situation is not set in stone, and you don’t know what God’s plans are for you.

But for change to happen, you need to accept life has different seasons. You need to let go of what holds you back and step into the new. Trust in God and let him guide you forward.

What an interesting life, to be a Leader

THE THANG:
Due to the rain, we met under the PAV-A-LON and did most of the workout there. Tabata style, mixture of arms, legs, and Abs, a bit Spirit-led. When the rain let up for a bit, we moseyed to the parking lot for some more spirit-led activities at the four corners, making sure to get our fronts and backs wet (hand release merkins and LBCs). Back to the PAV-A-LON to finish out the Tabata workout.
MARY: Wall sits until time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Backblast Ap, F3 in the Nude a week from Saturday, 2nd F at Abacus’s that same day, FORGE coming up late September. Prayers for the Macon PAX and the family of our brother that fell there this week.
COT: Showed a Coach K video from the show The Bear that talks about leadership. Unfortunately , the video was too soft to hear, but the takeaways were as follows: 1. Success requires you to CHANGE YOUR LIMITS. NOT EASY!!
 Expect there to be bumps in the road. Failure.
 Don’t accept that Failure as your final destination. Change and adapt and get back at it.
 There’s definitely a fear factor here.

2. TEAMWORK. You can’t do it by yourself. Surround yourself with people that will help you succeed, not drag you back.
 Don’t confuse criticism (designed to help you improve) with negativity (holding you back)

3. LISTEN. Don’t just talk. CONVERSE
 Collaborate to find solutions. Not only will you be able to draw on others for ideas, but when you ask for and incorporate their advice, they become more invested too.

4. What an interesting life to be a leader. EMBRACE IT.
