CoT: The power of “yes”
We occasionally come across something new or different in life to which our natural response would be “no.” However, none of us have gotten anywhere in our lives by saying no. While in some cases it is the proper response, there are times we are challenged and we need to accept that challenge, even though it is unfamiliar or will change our lives. We all said yes at the right moment to joining F3. I invite you to think of that next time you’re confronted with something unfamiliar or challenging and ask yourself if this is a moment to say “yes.”

olympus IPC Week 0

Date: 2025-09-04
AO: olympus
Q: Pop Fly
PAX: Norm, Roddick, Peanuts, Gadget, Toolbox, NOAA, Ashe, Crop Duster FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: Yes

THE THANG: IPC Week 0. The Q turned in a time of 25 minutes and change. Most other Pad were faster.

MARY: No. The Pax did lament about missing their friends Obadiah, Doodles, Nano & Rollingstone – true stalwarts of Olympus and hoped they were well.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Stair Climb

COT: Q continued on the theme that Norm shared on the previous Saturday about gratitude as the opposite of anger. The Q had recently been part of a listening session with people who had so much anger it was consuming them, and how IMHO, that cannot be healthy. Find any modicum of gratitude to help dispel the anger you might have.

COT:
– In a world driven by taking—taking credit, taking more than we need—there’s something radical about giving it away.
– It’s not weakness; it’s power. It’s choosing to believe that there’s enough, that we are enough, and that by passing along what we’ve learned, built, or been given, we actually create more. More connection. More trust. More progress.
– The Red Hot Chili Peppers said it best: “Give it away, give it away, give it away now.” That’s not just a chorus—it’s a call to action. If you’ve made something great, leave the door open behind you. If you’ve figured something out, teach it. If you’ve been helped, help the next. Giving it away isn’t losing whatever it is —it’s planting seeds for the future.
– So ask yourself: What can I give away today to make it easier for the person who comes after me? I realize I don’t want to be a miser
Confide with Sly, you’ll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin’ upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like a Kaiser?
