CoT:
At each location, we got on the ground and then back up again. Getting knocked down and getting back up again is the name of the game; it’s how we grow. When we get back up as strong or stronger than before, we demonstrate what is called resilience. Burpees do that, and we are in the burpee challenge. So, in the immortal words of Chumbawamba, "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you’re never gonna keep me down." Or, as the Apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Phi.4). Face adversity, test yourself, and seek to come back stronger than ever, if not on your own strength then by the strength of the Almighty God.

COT: heavy hearts after word of another young life taken by suicide yesterday. Men do not stay silent! Vulnerability in our hurt is strength. Find our hope in God and not in a country or an elected official. My truth is in His name and for His glory. Let us be men that open to our wives, our friends, and use of 43ft of influence to change this equation- in our faith communities, our healthcare communities, education communities, and work communities. Be a voice for those in need and arms of love to those hurting. Be light in a dark place and be love.

COT:

The early church faced far worse circumstances than us, including political revolution and oppression and deadly pandemics. But they realized that we become what we worship. Rather than focus on the circumstances and becoming fearful people, they kept their focus higher. Because of their devotion to fellowship and the prayers, these Christians had awe in their souls and generosity and gladness in their hearts. That generosity and gladness won over critics in hostile governments and changed cultures. May we be focused on higher good and improve our community by letting our gladness flow into good works families, work, and community.

CoT/WoW:
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.

Leo F. Buscaglia said: We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn’t. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

In 2012 Harvard Business Review devoted an entire issue of that publication to the topic of how to learn from failures. In one of the articles, Professor Amy C. Edmondson noted, "Not all failures are created equal" and that in business there are three main kinds of failures, some of which are better than others.

First, there are failures that result from the lack of precision in routine but important matters—for example, a failure to follow design specifications in the manufacturing process. According to Professor Edmondson, these are “bad” failures that are preventable and should be eliminated as quickly as possible.

Second, there are failures that are the inevitable results of complexity in processes—mistakes made in uncontrollable situations, such as in triage in a hospital emergency room. These failures are unavoidable and cannot be controlled, but they can be managed.

Finally, there are failures that occur when researchers try to push the frontiers of knowledge with regard to a product or service—failures made by a research lab in developing a new product, for example. These failures can be “good” failures if structured in the right way because they can accelerate the learning process.

If we are to fail successfully—if failure is to move us along in our quest for perfection—we need to make similar distinctions in our daily efforts and daily failures. We should not be afraid of "good failures" those resulting from efforts to extend the frontiers of our knowledge. Thus, we should not be so fearful of failing that we avoid trying new or hard things merely because their very newness or difficulty increases the risk of failure.
Karl Maeser, a 19th century educator said:
“Only those who have the courage to make mistakes ever learn worthwhile lessons and truths.”

So be wise to identify the right risks and be courageous to take those risks in order to learn to fail successfully.

COT: QSource – Foundation 3: Group

· Defined as a voluntary combination of two or more people

· Effectiveness of groups is based on their pursuit of mission and purpose

· People are naturally group forming

· Three types of groups: Lizards (purpose seeking), Bullfrogs (existence seeking), and Leeches (members feed off the bullfrogs and take from the group for themselves)

· Teams are at the core of all groups – they find problems (disadvantages) to remedy

· Teams create more opportunities for leadership, such as leading workouts and events at F3
