COT:
The sign of successful leader or High Impact Man is to see what they Gave Away, what lives on beyond what they started. Reflecting on MjP’s departure from our region, we have to give thanks for all that he’s Given Away to our region.
The chapter in Q Source titled Positive Habit Transfer, reminds me of what MjP has done with our Region. In order to give something away, a HIM must possess it first. MjP has Positive Habits, which he gave away to many guys in our region. Those positive habits became our Guard Rails to becoming better men, better leaders.
It’s now our turn, as leaders in F3, leaders in our community, leaders in our family to Give Away our Positive Habits to others. So that they in turn use it as guide rails to developing positive habits.

“None of us alone is a great man. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.”

Thank you MjP for all that you’ve done and continue to Give Away!!

THE THANG:

The usual turf field is still snow covered and melting so took it out to the grimy salt covered parking lot. Hence, we walked away dirtier than usual.

Workout is similar to Dora 1-2-3 :
Pair up. Pair1 starts with exercise, Pair2 Moseys a lap and does 1 burpee halfway around. When 1 lap is completed, flapjack and continue counting where Pair 1 left off until 100 reps, then immediately move to the 2nd exercise to complete a set. 3 sets completes a round.
At the end of each round all PAX perform a MoM lap.

Round1
100 SSH (4ct) + 100 Plank Jacks (4ct)
100 Thruster+ 100 OH Press
100 Squats + 100 k Bell Swings

All Rifle carry 1 Lap

Round2
100 LBC + 100 Flutter Kicks (4ct)

Had 3 rounds planned but stopped here due to time…

COT:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” ROMANS 12:2

5 steps to transform yourself emotionally:
Rick Warren:
1. Reveal the hurt
2. Release those that have hurt me
3. Replace old thoughts with God‘s truth
4. Refocus on the future
5. Reach out to help others that are hurt

Prayers for DR PAX’s friends going through difficult times.

COT
At F3 we do a great job with fitness. A good job with fellowship, and spend the least amount of time discussing faith. Faith is a critical part of who we are and how we are made.
I’m a Christian and my faith is in Jesus Christ and if that’s something you would like to discuss, please reach out.
We also have a weekly bible study on Wed or Thursday nights. This week it’s Wednesday. Check out the iron sharpens iron channel as well.
