If you want the life you want, it will cost you the life you have.

Proverbs 13:19- A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.

New Living Translation- It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

All change starts with telling the truth about how things are now. Observe your habits- what do you tell yourself, where are you or what are you doing when you mess up your goals. You live on brain patterns. We don’t know that we’re checked out until we check back in. It’s amazing what change you can drive when you do check in.

“You step in 0% of the dog poop that you see.”

  • Practice is a process, not a destination. Did you know self guided missles miss there target 90% of the time? They have an algorithmic called course correction.
  • Who do you want to be on November 20th? Set goals for your work, biological, and family self. Identify one goal for each that you can do this week

John 1:4-5  “4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [a]comprehend it.”  That’s how it was for me.  When I was in the darkness I didn’t understand the Light.

13 PAX and one FNG. Welcome Mouse! Good to see Cable guy back out in the gloom for a second day this week! We also enjoyed hosting Sand Wedge from F3 Augusta.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Shared a quote by philosopher Dave Chapelle: “Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means that you agree with everything they believe, say or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t hace to compromise convictions to be compassionate.”

Shared this quote for two reasons: One because it resonated with me and we could all stand to be a little more compassionate. Two, I wanted PAX that have not lead b/c they may be intimidated by the COT to know that it doesn’t have to be profound and encourage them to lead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What is the most meaningless statistic in football?…….The half time score!.  The Falcons were up by 30 at half-time in the Super Bowl a few years ago and lost the game.  The half time score means nothing.  Food for thought….Today is June 29 so tomorrow we are half way through 2021.  Consider how this year is going.  Is it working out as planned?  Do you wish it were going differently?  I think all of you have some plans for this year because you showed up here at 5:30am, and I don’t think people show up at 5:30am on accident!  At half time we have an opportunity to correct our course and make some changes.  Are there any changes that you need to make for the 2nd half of 2021?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Men are known for having only 2 emotions: anger and sadness. Obviously, we are meant to have more emotional depth than that, so let’s look at the Bible for any examples. Our Lord, Jesus, is a great example of righteous anger. Anger not motivated by hate, but by justice. In America, we are known to be observers over actors. As men, we need to act when we see injustice. We need to get angry and do something about the wrongs done to others. With sadness, our Lord, Jesus, is again the perfect example. When Lazarus, His friend, died, Jesus wept. We can find solice in the fact that our King felt the same that we do over loss. We need to be able to express that and lean on one another in those times of sorrow.
