Picasso: As Reindeer Games continues to test or Mettle, keep the important things at the center of your concentrica. It is not winning the games that is important. Accomplishments ITG, bragging rights, milestones don’t make us better fathers and husbands. Learning to persevere when our Mettle is tested, and learning how to be consistent and committed to what we care about make us stronger ITG and out of it. There are certainly skills that overlap from the gloom to life and persevering through hard shit and declaring and honoring our commitment to do these hard things helps us in other aspects of life. It helps us with what matters.
Finishing this CoT is someone that understands this well. One of the first people I would go into battle with if there wasn’t much hope of victory and a brother that has secured his 600th post through his commitments and perseverance, Foreclosure . . . Would you kindly finish the CoT?
Foreclosure portion of COT is all about facing those hard challenges in life… You have to have a battle tested mind for those tough times. That’s why we choose the hard workouts and the tough terrain and weights and weather. Life will throw a lot of hard things your way and you need to prepare your mind for those tough situations. This could be a sick family member. This could be a difficult job situation. This could be carrying the weight of what someone else can’t carry (friend or family).
The one piece of advice I can offer is be prepared and lean on God for those tough uncertain times. I will then share the story of what my mother taught me about asking God for his strength and help. I will share how she has taught me when I lose something to ask God to help me find it because he knows where it is. I will then share the story of how God helped me this last weekend in finding and recovering the deer that got away and how last year I didn’t have that.
1 Peter 5:6-7
“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7 NLT

Right after the bootcamp we find out that carpetmulcher lost his keys at the hill. Everyone went over to help him find his keys. Millville and I got there last after everyone was already walking all over the place looking. We had a conversation about this being exactly what the COT was just about. I said a little prayer, look down and the keys are right there in front of me. I pick them up and yell “I found em”! You can’t make this junk up. How cool.
