Stuff was done. See post by Crawdad above :point_up_2: because apparently Crawdad has not learned how to do a formal backblast in slack. First half by me, and the second have by Crawdad, who delivered two messages in the COT:

1. You can’t change your life without changing something that you do everyday.
2. If you come out and enjoy the BSIA, then you should be Qing 1-2 times per year, at a minimum.

Convergence next week, or, as Crawdad called it, a “Brovergence.” Crawdad will be there as a “Brovirgin.” I will not be there because my kids have a swim meet. Enjoy and don’t get hurt. It should help that the sun will be up at 7:00 since it is after the time change.

COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT: The spirit of God is indwelling within us. It is as if God’s pure spirit drifts into our pores. Wrap you mind around that concept, of the spirit of God being within you. When I think upon it, it certainly leads me to desire to be a High Impact Man. Sometimes I feel so far away from the Spirit of God. I feel sluggish, like one feels when they wake up first thing in the morning. I might drink a fine cup of coffee and when I do, I can feel my brain cells start waking up. It’s like ping, ooh that felt good, that braincell just came alive, ping, things are getting a little clearer, ping, yeah, I am starting to get the picture. If I picture the Spirit of God within me, it’s like that good coffee waking me up. Ping, yeah, I can help my fellow man, ping, I’m going to put a smile on my face today, ping, I’m gonna tell my wife how much I love her, ping, I’m going to help that older man get up the curb, ping, I’m going to get involved in a service project, ping, I’m going to make someone’s day brighter today.
My message: wrap your mind around the Spirit of God working within you. Try to picture it and see what it does for you. Picture God’s holiness, purity and strength within you. You might just feel God sinking into your pores and waking up your brain cells. And when that happens, it’s a mighty good thing.
