raamdev.com/2021/one-percent/#:~:text=15%20minutes%20%3D%201%25%20of%20your%20day

You’ve just worked hard for 3% of your day.
45 minutes.
– Are you owning and making the most of the 3% of your day that you’re investing in with F3?
– If this is one of the hardest things you do all day, what does the other 97% look like?

We just worked hard over 3 consecutive 1% time periods (15 minutes).

15 minutes is just 1% of your day. Here’s a neat formula I’ve heard over the years on how to maximize just 1% of your day, every day.
– Silence for 5 minutes
– The world is loud. Cultivate a rhythm or unplugged silence.
– Reflect for 5 minutes
– What’s going on up there (head) and in here (heart)? Cultivate a rhythm of reflection.
– Pray for 5 minutes
– Prayer is plugging into the source of life by talking with God. Cultivate a rhythm of conversation with your Creator.

Rucking Around the Hood

FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
We took a little longer and knocked out 4 miles. Toretto, decided to forgo the ruck and ran for 2 straight hours and running 12 miles while we rucked.

It’s the busy season, keep your eye on what’s important and don’t be distracted by the noise. Family, wife, work whatever you deem important, don’t let the noise and less important things distract you from the important things.

COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.
