CoT: Q-Source: The Jester
The Daily Discipline Over The Temptation Of The Flesh That Hinders Acceleration – Every man has his own personal Jester
1. The concept of “The Jester” is a temptation of the flesh that is inconsistent with your values and hinders personal growth and alignment.
2. The recognition that the Jester is a master liar, using lies to draw near and stay close.
3. The five biggest lies the Jester tells: “You Are The Boss Of Me,” “You Are What You Do,” “You Are (relatively) Not That Bad A Guy,” “The Jester And Virtue Can Coexist,” and “You Can’t Live, If Living Is Without Me.”
4. The importance of preparedness to keep the Jester at bay, both for expected and unexpected circumstances.
5. Mindfulness is the key to training our brain from giving into the Jester—treat him as a toddler throwing a fit in a shopping store; that is, recognize his fit as such, sit with him but don’t give in, and wait for it to pass.
6. The more we prepare and practice such mindfulness, the better we get at doing it.

COT:
An important step of a group forming is having the group meet outside their normal formation. Seeing others in a social situation can help build trust. As the members of the group get to know each other in a different setting, it can add a dimension. F3 encourages our groups to meet outside the beat downs.

COT: Q source: it’s a little heavy on the jargon but there a lot of pearls there. One example is the concept of the king and queen – not a gender specific queen but the chess board allegory, the king needs the queen for protection. If you King is your ability to get up early and grind physically – your queen is your ability to keep a healthy diet and lifestyle at home. Living your total life in a way that better positions you to help others. Not anything I am great at, but an aspirational message. Aye!
