CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This month I’m trying to express more gratitude for the things i have in my life. While we all can be grateful for F3, what it has done for us and the PAX, i challenged the pax to think of other things we are grateful for.

  • Smuggler-My wife and the change she has made in my realatiohsip with my daughter. We have gone through some hard times, a lot due to my own bad relationship decisions. However my wife has come in and been an amazing force in my life and has made a world of difference.
  • Pinocchio- His son, being a new father has given him a new perspective on life.
  • Veep- His job and the the ability that has provided him to do things for his family.

Take time to let those around you know you’re grateful for them.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Keep grinding everyday and remember what you’re running for. Whether it be to better yourself or others, keep putting in the work consistently every day.

8 came out to get better
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I wanted to use this day to continue to talk about fitness. The first F of F3 is fitness, and that’s what we do for 45 minutes each morning. Use that time to make yourself better. Short cutting exercises to stay out of the back or to try to race someone is only cheating yourself. If you take shortcuts out here, where else are you short cutting your life?

Work on your form, get yourself better. Are you setting a good example? If an FNG comes out and watches you to see how to do these exercises, would you be proud that he copies how you do it?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I just started reading “Freed to Lead”. This story spoke to me and why we are out here. It was perfect timing since we had an FNG at the beatdown today.

PG. 20 “An FNG Posted one morning , Splashed Merlot, and otherwise ( in his mind, and only his mind, disgraced himself. At the end of the Workout he got his F3 Name in the COT and was dragging his Six back to his car when he stumbled accidentally into the Workout Q, who was obliviously admiring his pecs in the window of his Lexus. The FNG must have felt a little goofy because he went ahead and blurted out what was on his mind. He Apologized for ” slowing the group down.” The Q laughed and replied that he hadn’t slowed anything down. “Anyways,” the Q told the FNG, ” Brother, you’re the reason we are here in the first place. You are why we are here.”

F3 is more than we can ask for and is nothing without us. Carry on this message and lets help grow F3 in our community. We are here for each other and always there to help lift up those who need it the most.
