– As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that not all friendships are equal. The best people to surround yourself with are people who celebrate your progress, challenge your thinking, and push you to be your best self—even when it’s uncomfortable.
– Good friends support you, but the best friends stretch you. They’ll call you out when you’re slacking, not to tear you down, but because they believe you’re capable of more. They’re the ones who clap the loudest when you win. They’ll push you to apply for the job you don’t think you’re qualified for. They’ll remind you of who you are when you forget.
– I want to surround myself with people who inspire me—people who make me want to level up, not just fit in. That’s why I love F3 – leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him. You guys inspire me. Iron sharpens iron.

COT: YHC noted how important the practice of gratitude has been in his life. Each of us will face good days and bad days, seasons of good and seasons of difficulty. During the good times it’s often easy(-ier) to give thanks. It’s during the difficult times that we must be diligent and intentional in giving thanks for everything we have been blessed with. YHC seeks strength and endurance and perseverance through prayer to help with this practice of gratitude, especially during the difficult seasons of his life. YHC gave thanks for the men who showed up in the gloom, and thanks for the rainbow that showed up after our beatdown. Thank you men!
