CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Concentrate every minute like a Roman— like a man— on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions. Yes, you can— if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered , irritable. You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that’s all even the gods can ask of you.”

-Marcus Aurelius

“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

Being a leader isn’t about being recognized for the great things you do.  It’s about enabling and building others up to do great things.  Go and do this in your community, place of work, and family!

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I recently spent a week in Folley Beach, SC and traveled up to Charleston for a couple of days.  What really struck me about Charleston was the history of the town and the preservation of many old buildings.  This inspired me to learn a little more about Maryville.  So here’s a start on that journey.

Fort Craig, which was located on Pistol Creek, was the first settlement in the area which is now the City of Maryville.  The fort craig spring landmark is located on the greenway near the Blount county chamber of commerce. The fort was built in 1785 to protect settlers from Indian attack. The City of Maryville was established on July 11, 1795. Maryville was named in honor of Mary Grainger Blount, wife of Governor William Blount. The county was named in honor of Governor Blount. Almost a year later, on June 1, 1796, the State of Tennessee became the 16th state in the Union,

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Cherry Pickers – x10 (IC)
  • Windmills – x10 (IC)

THA-THANG:

There were 5 exercises marked around the grindstone:

  1. CMU Curls
  2. Dips on bench
  3. CMU OH Press
  4. Decline push-ups
  5. Step-ups on bench

The 6th exercise was the “circle of death (COD)” –> The PAX in the middle had to complete the following exercises below:

  1. 10 burpees
  2. 15 SSH
  3. 20 squats

The other PAX completed their respective exercises and couldn’t move on to the next exercise until the COD PAX finished. Once completed, then each PAX rotated clockwise to the next station.

After each PAX completed one round in the circle, then the group took a mosey & completed two rounds of the Bataan Death March (3 burpees per round).

Returned back to the grindstone and completed another round of the exercises above. The COD was revised for round 2:

  1. 5 burpees
  2. 10 SSG
  3. 15 squats
