Topic: What it means to keep commitments

Quote: “Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.” – Abraham Lincoln

Thoughts: MEN who return to the gloom consistently are MEN who have the character to make commitments and follow through on them. Part of the reason F3 works so well is the mechanism of the HARD COMMIT we make with the other PAX. We show commitment and strengthen the value of our word when we make commitments and follow them through (we uphold our integrity). We show up tired, worn out, beaten again and again because the fear of losing face and weakening our word is much greater than any short term comfort we would receive by sleeping in. With this in mind I challenged our fellow PAX if they are following through with the spoken/unspoken HC’s we make with our wives, children, family, friends etc.. The mechanism that makes F3 successful does not exist in our home lives.. Our wives and children are not on Slack yet their trust in us is measured by our ability to keep our commitments.. Everyday we are either eroding or strengthening our word by how we follow through with our commitments. Inspect our relationships to find areas that may be a threat to our integrity and course correct.
