Introduction
Come join yhc at the “World’s Most Lit AO” to do something very hard. What will make this bootcamp hard you might be asking… Well, my plan is to help you become as hard as concrete by asking you to become one with your coupon. IYKYK…(no spoilers). This is a humble artists’ version of something Iv’e done before, similar with a different design. Expect to not run at all. Expect to get your heart rate up and get your cardio on by staying mostly stationary! Curious?… Come check out the O! You will need shoes for pavement, heart for your coupon, and gloves.

Circle of Trust
Be Competitive – A spirit of competition helps you achieve things beyond what standards you will set for yourself. It helps you get better, stronger, and faster but a distinction should be made between being competitive and be comparative. When you compare yourself to others instead of competing against or going with (the better way of saying it. You stop recognizing what makes you great. You don’t see the joy in what makes you unique. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, faster and better if your mindset is more comparative than competitive. We are here to push each other to be the best we can be and be the best versions of ourselves. Everything is you vs you. What can your brothers do for you to help you accomplish your goals and set new standards?
Share your Gifts – Recognize what makes you special, where your gifts reside, and give them away. Help others get better, pay it forward, serve others. We all have unique gifts and it would be selfish to not do so. We can make the brotherhood of F3 stronger in doing so. We can help others to get out into the gloom and unlock their potential as well. Keep EHing the Sad Clowns that are out there, keep reaching out to ones that are here that you haven’t seen, keep giving this gift away.
Be Yourself – Your gifts are your identity. What God has given you and wants for you when you are at your best. I switched my mindset from being resentful that Run Club came to the wood on Wednesday to being grateful. Athletically, speed is my gift. I should be working harder to help others get faster and teaching strategies that I use for speed. As 6, I want to move everyone to the one spot.
Men, Keep being competitive, keep sharing your gifts, and be yourself.
Naked Man Moleskin
Chum Bucket had our 6. He set his block down a couple times to document. He did 5 blockees everytime. I told him he didn’t have to. He said he wanted to work up to the standard that was set. Pi’s coupon touched for a second. Yellow card called him out. Pi reported to the circle of pain to buy back in.
Yellow Card kept calling it the “Circle of Death.”
Dismissed Coupon Pressed with 1 Coupon per Arm. He was the only one that did that.
Good Effort from all today!
