Introduction
I wanted to do Murder Bunnies in the parking lot of the Ridge and was asked if I could do something else. I will admit that I haven’t been around enough to think globally about what we are really doing. It didn’t even dawn on me that dropping and sliding blocks is hard on pavement when I would question anyone if they were doing it in my driveway. Of course this would be bad in the lot.
A good amont of my CoT was about being a guest and being a Q, what felt far from my home area and where I am used to posting and learning to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and here I felt like I began suggesting others should just mess up my brothers driveway.

Circle of Trust
Talked a little bit about Picassos, “Guernica” and how he felt uncomfortable, living and painting it in Paris, while so much was happening in his country and homeland.
Related this to home is comfortable, and how what we know is comfortable, how what we are used to is comfortable. Told everyone that I am much more comfortable leading a workout closer to my home and that is also the biggest reason why I needed to Q hear to grow as a person and a leader. I thanked everyone for helping me to embrace the uncomfortable again. I used to live for getting tired and then continuing to push. This probably was half of my life ago and F3 is giving that back to me again. Reminded Men to “get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and Embrace the Suck.” This is where you get 1% better.
Told the Story of Hernan Cortes and Burn the Ships – During the time of the Conquistadors, in 1519 Cortes led a small army from Spain to the New World with 600 soldiers and upon arriving ordered the last few getting off the smaller, dingy boats to go back and burn the ships. The soldiers watched their chance of sailing home, their chance of retreating, their chance of finding a way out, an exit strategy, an excuse burn up with the ship. As leaders what are we doing to burn our excuses, to limit an easier reaction and take a short cut, to embrace things that are uncomfortable and Suck? What are we doing to help others see it is better to go after hard things and struggle than easier things and succeed?
Ended by telling all to Burn Their Ships.
