Circle of Trust
For some men their weakness is physical. Why join a group of strong men to put my weakness on display. For some just coming out to post is revealing their weakness, but they do not realize that by doing so is the greatest show of strength. Facing your fears is the greatest test of strength. Show up to a Black Diamond workout and be tested who is the strongest but it is the fool who chooses the fastest PAX. The wise man sees through this and knows that the individual who shows the most strength is the one who thinks he does not belong but is there anyway through strength of will and heart and is afraid of what is to come. He is uncomfortable where the others are not
For some men their weakness is mental. I may look strong but I struggle where those cannot see. I need not so plainly reveal my weakness but at the time and place of my choosing. For these men get to choose when and where they reveal their weakness and to whom. The fool is the one that hears their struggle and pities them. Only the wise man truly hears them and sees their strength. He knows that this when/where is a unique opportunity to share their wisdom and bolster their strength as iron sharpens iron
For some men they have no weakness. Yet they are the biggest fool of all! Why air my personal weakness when I am strong and fit and smart. It is easy to turn a blind eye when my strength of mind and body are easily in plain sight. But it only through struggle and revelation of weakness that a man truly bonds to another man. Those men that have been through HELL together are bonded forever. They see weakness revealed and they are shown by the grace of GOD that there is NO weakness together as men UNITED can conquer all

Ran out of time and wasn’t able to do my last Thang. For future reference, the turf field has worse gnats than the field
