COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently have had opportunities to share words of comfort and (hopefully) wisdom to family.  Made me think of James chapter 3.  The first section he talks about taming the tongue. Verse 10: Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.  The next section of the chapter is on wisdom. Verse 17: But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.  There is significance in the context of talking about the tongue and it’s power and then immediately talking about wisdom.  As HIMs we need to be aware of our words and the impact they have, and make sure they are imparting wisdom.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
9 unconscious beliefs blocking our path to inner peace:
1. “I Need to be Doing Something Right Now.”
Though our ego tricks us into believing we need this feeling to get things done, when we can let it go we see a lot of our anxiety dissolves and our relaxation deepens. We’re also much more likely to enjoy what we need to do without the constant internal pressure of feeling that what we’re doing in this moment is never enough.

2. “When I Get What I Want I Will be Happy.”
When we see we’re doing this we can practice letting go of that need, even if only for a brief moment. The more capable we become at doing so, the more we will naturally experience happiness in the present, and the less our minds will fixate on ideas of the future for fulfillment.

3. “Finding Inner Peace Is Difficult.”
Often it is letting go of the belief that what we want is so far away, and understanding that when you stop striving so aggressively you will start to see the calm you’re looking for.

4. “If I Express My Emotions Honestly People Will Think I’m Weak.”
The irony in this is that as everyone is dealing with the urge to be authentic, those that actually do so are often met with respect and admiration.

5. “If People Knew the Real Me, They Wouldn’t Like It.”
We hide certain aspects of our personality, defining ourselves publicly by what we show and privately by what we’ve hidden. The reality is that you are a lot more than either of those stories, and people will gravitate toward the real you because they appreciate honesty.

6. “I Should be Happier Right Now.”
Happiness isn’t something you need to have all the time; it comes and goes, like any experience, but it’s not a prerequisite for being human.

7. “Not Being the Best Me Isn’t Good Enough.”
When you can strip yourself of this idea you’ll soon realize that the chase to being your best self is infinite and anxiety-inducing.

8. “I Owe the World.”
Though gratitude is important, it doesn’t mean we should walk around with the feeling that we’re in debt to the universe. When we let go of the deep feeling of debt and obligation, we can then really start to give people what we have to offer.

9. “There Was a Time in My Past That Absolutely Sucked.”
Often we become so identified with bad times in our past that they get in the way of us enjoying the present. When we come to realize that they are far less significant than we initially thought, we stop feeling like imposters and we let old memories fall away.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Leadership involves surrounding yourself with good positive people . With out this, you cannot have success.
MOLESKIN:
As I wrapped up my first season as a HEAD COACH , I realized quickly I can’t do it alone. Expecting to lead alone is nearly impossible. A true leader will surround himself or herself with positive people ready to help. It’s just what I had in my first season of being a head coach for 2 of my sons flag football teams. I had a lot of expectations of myself to “run the show” but quickly realized , I am screwed doing it all alone. I had dads stepping up ready to help as assistant coaches. It was much needed and with all the help, our teams had a successful season ! The success was not winning the games but just having fun with the kids! To sum it up, we are born to lead but we can’t do it alone !

Einstein “ stay away from negative people, the find a problem to every solution” . As you lead, make sure you surround yourself with positive people !

Aye!

BOM
Everything we did this morning is nothing complicated or fancy.  Each man could do what we did alone with no problem…the question is would you?  The second F, Fellowship, is what empowers the first F (Fitness).  Our strength is drawn from each other.  Seeking to be the leaders we want to be in our families and community is hard work.  Each day we have to get up and recommit.  Doing it alone is a recipe for failure, but together we can make a little progress each day.

Bottom line – Make sure you are locking shields with other men seeking the same goals you are seeking.  Don’t try and go it alone!  You aren’t meant to do it alone.  Growth is a team sport.
