From The Difference Maker by John Maxwell

Guillaume Apolllinaire- “Come to the edge. No, we will fall. Come to the edge. No, we will fall. They came to the edge. He pushed them and they flew”

John Maxwell- “If you want to seize an opportunity, you must take a risk. If you want to grow, you must make mistakes. If you want to reach your potential, you will have to take a chance. If you don’t , you will be resigned to a life of mediocrity. The people who don’t make mistakes end up working for those who do. And in the end, they often end up regretting the safe life they lived.”
MOLESKIN:
Just happy to lead such amazing

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The other day my sister made a super long Facebook post about her views on Covid-19.  It was so long I didn’t even take time to read it all but I knew where she was going and what she was trying to do.  It was written as an attempt to convince someone to agree with her point of view.  I likely agreed with what she said, as we have very similar stances on things, but my thought was, “whose mind are you actually going to change?”  No one goes on to Facebook to have their mind changed which made me realize that sometimes things are just best left unsaid.  Even if something is 100% true, it doesn’t always make it appropriate.  As leaders, we like to speak up and be heard, but sometimes the best thing you can do as a leader is to keep your mouth shut.  So please take the time before you speak, before you post, to ask, is this the appropriate time and/or place for this and will it benefit anyone?  If not then lead through silence.
MOLESKIN:
About 5 runners passed me when I was setting out the papers marking the exercises before the beatdown.  Only one runner passed us during the beatdown.  Baby Weight hulked up and broke his CMU.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes, we go through valleys in our lives. The crap and bags of problems don’t go away. Leaders grab a hold of that bag, and do what they can to help. And great Leaders come along side others to help them pull. ESPY is one of those leaders, and I (Drifter) am super excited to pass the AOQ flags over to ESPY. He and His family have often come along side me and mine in the midst of our valleys. I know he will continue to lift up those around him, but he needs us to take a handle of the bag too.
