COT: YHC loves loaded carries. The physical, mental and spiritual challenge of physically carrying a heavy burden gives YHC peace. The physical – proper loaded carries challenge the entire body, from brace to grip, core to cardio, and everything in between. Loaded carries are a simple yet effective means to building functional strength – important for us Respect guys! The mental and spiritual – YHC’s middle child suffered a setback last week. It is in these moments that YHC thinks about carrying the weight of his child’s suffering, and engaging in loaded carries (or rucking!) gives YHC a healthy outlet to experience the physical, mental and emotional weight of suffering. It is also in these moments that YHC is reminded of the saying “Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.” Thank you men for joining me in the suffering of a loaded carry beatdown this morning.

COT
It’s a natural desire for most of us to want to be liked. While there is nothing wrong with being liked, that desire can lead to staying silent instead of speaking up for yourself or for others.

Winston Churchill –
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

Martin Luther King Jr. –
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Mahatma Gandhi –
“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out in the truth and acting accordingly.”

COT
Take a moment to share the joy of the families in Israel reunited on Monday.
Harvard business school professor Clayton Christensen gave a classic speech, entitled “how you measure your life?“ the gist of it: no matter how busy you are, take time every day to consider the purpose of your life. His example: he uses his knowledge of regression analysis, maybe once a month and his knowledge of his purpose every day.
