COT: We all come from different backgrounds, which is why I wanted to incorporate a little of my heritage into today’s workout. I enjoy sharing life experiences with others and think its part of enjoying life!
A lot of topics today have been around stress and anxiety, which I know a lot of us suffer with. Today, however, it was about showing up, being present and that its OK to be a tough guy and work hard! We showed up and are bettering ourselves by being here. To quote the famous Persian poet, Rumi, “Those who do not want to change, let them sleep.”
Finally, just happy to be here! Happy to have been given the strength and ability to show up early and workout with like-minded people, and I feel blessed to have found a group to workout with in a time that I needed it the most. To quote another Persian poet, Hafez, “This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.”
Thank you!

YHC is reminded of Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. Our faith keeps us strong and devoted. The fellowship is honestly what keeps me coming out here. And the fitness is almost the least important but still the core and the health and what should drive us to become better.

COT: From Jeremiah 17:7-8 “7But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. 8He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. 9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it” – TRUST in The Lord, find your CONFIDENCE in HIM and examine your heart…..it is deceitful above all things and left unchecked and un-submitted to The Lord will lead you astray each and every time.
