CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently listened to “Atomic Habits” audio book and am working on implementing some of his techniques into my life.  The book is set up to act as a manual and less of a motivational/inspirational book, which I found very practical and probably more helpful that a book just trying to inspire me to make changes.  I encourage you to read/listen!  Here are a few quotes:

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

“never miss twice. If I miss one day, I try to get back into it as quickly as possible.”

“If successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winners from the losers.”

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”

“If you show up at the gym five days in a row—even if it’s just for two minutes—you are casting votes for your new identity. You’re not worried about getting in shape. You’re focused on becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts. You’re taking the smallest action that confirms the type of person you want to be.”

~ James Clear (Author of Atomic Habits)

“The two most important days in your life are the day you’re born and the day you find out why” – Mark Twain

Everyone reading this has already done the first one of those, but finding out “why” is what we may never officially know. I thought maybe it was when I got married or had my first kid, but I don’t know for sure.

One thing I do know is that every single person who has ever shown up to F3 didn’t do it because it’s fun to wake up at 5am to go work out in the rain and get thrashed. There was an underlying reason that made you think you should show up to this. Could have been fitness, could have been the fellowship, could have been the faith, or it could have been something else you didn’t know or understand. I came to the conclusion that my “why” could also be out there at 5:30am because for some reason I kept showing up. Someone I may not have even met yet may impact me in such a way that it changes my life forever, or maybe I do that to someone else. Or one of those things could have already happened.

You may not ever get to know your “why” but sometimes there are some things in life that let you know you may be on the right path to find it. I think F3 may be that path for a lot of us.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:13-16‬

We are called to be salt and light to the world. Don’t hide your light or lose your saltiness but instead stand firm in your belief

“Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the idle never know.”

― Charles Kingsley
