Around the worlds

COT: “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can’t accept not trying”. Michael Jordan- As PAX each time we come to an AO we don’t know what the Q has planned, so we have adopted this mindset already by trying different workouts in the gloom and pushing each other. Continue to apply this mindset in life as we continue to not just grow physically, but also mentally and spiritually.

COT:
Set backs
The Q spoke about breaking his right middle finger and damage to hand that was a six-week process of recovery.

The lessons:
Innovate – find ways to get things done
Embrace set backs – find ways to keep mentally strong
Keep moving forward – set backs are usually only temporary. You get back in the ring and the Q expressed his own ability to come back to F3 and lead a workout as an example.
