Circle of Trust
I’m tired. And no I’m not talking about me physically. I’m tired of people. I’m tired of asking them to push themselves further than they have ever gone physically. I’m tired of their excuses, self limitations and laziness. I’m tired of asking people to step up and lead. I’m tired of hearing the discouragement from people outside of this group not willing to take the hard path. Most of all I’m tired of people not living up to their potential because they are getting in their own way. It’s exhausting and it makes me want to do this all on my own so that I don’t have to watch another person quit on themselves.
BUT I will never stop asking you to get better. Or asking you to step up and lead. Or telling everyone to do something they think they cannot do. Why? Because the reward is far greater than the disapointment. To watch others succeed when they didn’t believe they could originally is what life is all about. And doing it all together is simply more fun. But Why? Because there is untapped potential out there for so many people and they are looking to us to unlock it. But Why? Because you all motivate me to be better and hold a higher standard.
So if you are ever tired of people and the negativity and the all around bs of the day to day just remember why you are doing everything you are doing. Because the reward of even a ONE person who changes their life outweighs the quitting and negativity of an entire population. Let’s go get it and win the day!
Prayer – Asking for praises, positive happens. Lots of responses from those that are healing, turning a corner and answer prayers. Intentions – Saergent family as they lose Dan late yesterday.
Naked Man Moleskin
Trickle approached me after a Black Diamond a month or two ago and said “There is this park right next to my house that F3 doesn’t use. And it’s a perfect AO.” Not sure if that was a challenge to Q a Black Ops Black Diamond there or not but I took it that way and decided to make it happen. All the PAX today agreed that there is opportunity there. Yes, the amenaties are nice BUT the opportunity to to bring more men to F3 and to give it away.
Blinky was the easiest EH in the world as I simply mentioned I was Q’ing at this park yesterday and he committed to showing up and did. The guy pushed the front and always makes everyone around them better.
I unitentially called out Jellystone yesterday when he looped me in that he was Q’ing a Black Diamond and I mentioned that he should be a regular at Black Diamonds. He not only showed up but kicked ass, all effort and zero quit. Come back next week!
ECR by Dilly Dilly, Mr. Belding and Foreclosure was bold as I knew this was going to be cardio heavy and I’m guessing those dudes pressed 1000+ calories this morning.
Having Picasso cover SQ duties allowed me to do my thang as Q and push the front without having to worry about duties. Thank you brother for always having my 6 and keeping your BD streak of perfect attendance going for 2023. Impressive to say the least.
