COT: In this workout, we focused on good form, even at the expense of quickness. Using proper form in a workout yields better results and provides a more meaningful workout. Sometimes, we are tempted to take shortcuts, but we take them at the expense of getting a workout. Just as in workouts. Often, we are tempted to just submit the paperwork without doing a proper review, to just do it for our children vice teaching them, or to ignore our partner rather than talking through a disagreement. Expediency leads to mediocrity, and mediocrity is not part of the F3 ethos–success is. Next time you are confronted with a challenge, ask yourself whether you are pursing meaning or expediency, and choose the meaningful approach. Pursuing what is meaningful (not what is expedient) will lead to more success, fulfillment, and happiness in all aspects of life.
