COT: to find true joy in life, the Dalai Lama recommends taking care of, and helping, others. this is somewhat paradoxical as one might think to focus on my needs and wants to be happy. but, by focusing on others, we discover empathy and compassion and gratitude for all that we already have … this is the 3rd F in F3, to be part of something greater than ourselves.

COT: Q1.9 Mammon-

The Sustaining Relationship Between A Man And His Work. Our work not only feeds us and our families, it also benefits the community. Work is also essential to our personal alignment whereas idleness takes us off track. Even in retirement, men seek something meaningful to do. The connection between a man and his work is a lifelong relationship, not a pursuit.

This relationship with work is powerful and can swallow other more critical relationships with our spouse, kids, extended family, teams, and communities. There are 3 reasons for this: 1) Work is the easiest relationship to maintain. It’s the only relationship where we can go off duty. 2) Our work relationship provides the most direct affirmation. The clear feedback of work tempts a man to turn away from the chaos and uncertainty of other relationships. and 3) Our work relationship is terminable at will – and we can quit at any time. Divorce from spouses and separation from children doesn’t sever the relationship.

Mammon is the least important of all our relationships. If we place work before our M and Shorties we commit relationship malpractice–and risks losing them. If we place work before our teams (Shield Lock) and our mentees (Blades) the Community will suffer and erode. If we lose our family and Community to our relationship with work, there is nothing for our work to sustain.

The temptation to elevate Mammon to the forefront of our relationship target is ever present. If unchecked, it becomes workaholism in full bloom and like any addiction, it will swallow everything else in a man’s life. It will consume him. Because it is easy, affirming and controllable, the temptation to elevate the importance of Mammon is compelling. We may love our work, but we do not live to work. Instead, we work to enrich the lives of those we love and with whom we live.
