COT: You don’t find balance in your life, you create balance in your life. Balance is like a 3 legged stool and consists of activities/ events you must do (work), you should do (community service) and you like to do (F3)- creating that balance is important and it’s individually driven

THE THANG: Well, I don’t want to put this is in writing because , for these things, I like to write on the side of cardboard boxes, but, using the F3 Workout Deck, PAX played Black Jack. I guess I should have emphasized that each card in fact has an exercise on it, so when you draw that card, it means we do that exercise,; AAR revealed I probably should have emphasized that. So PAX drew cards and we did exercises, that ended and we brought out the medicine ball for feats of strength (throwing the med ball through the uprights), this was fun but we ran out of time–but FNG was able to throw it out of the park! MARY: LBCs

COT: I actually taught management training in my office before I did F3, but, through F3, I have learned so much about management and leadership. Thanks for coming to my ClusterQ. SYITG!

COT
Recommend seeing the movie Sound of Freedom, about child trafficking. Tim Ballard worked for DHS to prosecute child pornographers, but realized he wanted to save the children. He quit his job and was able to free 50 to 60 children. Message is that if you see something that needs to be done, DO IT TODAY. Don’t wait until tomorrow.
