“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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The fear of failing often holds us back from taking on new challenges. For us to grow as leaders and men we must not be afraid of what challenges we may face in life. For me i have faced a lot of failures in my life. Its important that we not let those failures we have define who we are as men.

“When we give ourselves permission to fail, we at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel”- Eloise Ristad

” A person who never made a mistake never tried anything” – Albert Einstein

F3 provides us an amazing opportunity to challenge ourselves and to fail in a place where we know we will be lifted up. We are able to sharpen our leadership skills through F3 and Q’ing so that in our daily lives we are better men and leaders.

There has been a lot of talk within our PAX recently of leadership. It has brought me back to when I first took a leadership role within my organization at work. A mentor of mine quote John C Maxwell to me “Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less”

We can all be leaders within our lives and communities. The entirety of F3 has been leaders to me, causing me to be a better version of myself, better man and father. Let’s all go forward in our lives, looking to lead and influence those around us

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?

15. Welcome back Radioshack!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There’s no lasting fulfillment in being the greatest -AND- you’re a lot less likely to win. It’s so obvious when you think about it. Why do the worlds greatest athletes leave to form Super Teams in LA or Tampa Bay?

Teams are memorable. If I asked you- you could name more aware winning sports teams, bands, company’s, & military groups than great athletes, rock stars, billionaire’s or master brewer’s. It’s why you know about Miracle on Ice in the 1980 Winter Olympics, but can’t name a singular athlete who competed in the Olympic Games that decade.

Most of us are struggling with something. Some of our members speak about how they’re in a negative head space or know someone working through health issues, but what you don’t know is that when you work with intensity here at F3, I’m watching you & it’s pushing me to be better. As a byproduct, my coworkers are getting a better version of myself, my wife admires me more, & I’m standing here to encourage you back. So keep showing up for your teams, because they’ll be there to lift you higher when it’s time.

So where are your winning teams? Good news. You’re already playing on a few. It’s your job to make each team better. 

  • Show up to F3, because you push us when you do
  • Stick to the budget your family made, because paying for that long term savings goal in cash is way more satisfying than your guilty pleasure
  • Play to your strengths at work & help others shine doing the same
  • Cut the habit you’re working yourself up to do, because the post guilt you feel causes you to hide from your inner circle such as your family & God

God knew the hardships & the joys in life would require a team. That’s why he sent his disciples out in pairs, & sent Eve to Adam.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 – Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

Thoughts for Hammy to recover. Be with our PAX & Country.
