COT
YHC is incredibly grateful for the men of F3 and the journey that we have been on over this last year. I was scared to start F3. My first few days, I was the guy who was way behind everything else. That first workout, one year ago to the day, had me questioning my sanity. Vila, Angus, Prosciutto, and Best In Show made it look easy. It wasn’t easy for me and I wanted to quit. The first day was cold and soaking wet. But I was determined to power through and not quit. I still struggle, as does every other man out there from time to time. The important thing is to continue to push yourself because you are not only having a positive impact on yourself but, perhaps more importantly, you are impacting those around you more than you know. Today, 24 of us pushed ourselves and made each other better for our efforts. When you are considering skipping a workout “just because”, consider your brothers out there that need you out there.
I was moved recently reading “Freed to Lead” when the discussion of the Dolphin and the Daffodil was brought up. In short, one’s “Dolphin” is a unique and powerful skill and the “Daffodil” is the type of person that one is destined to serve with his Dolphin. The D2X, or intersection of a man’s dolphin and his daffodil, is where a man’s mission is found and his impact is the highest. I encourage everyone to find their own D2X. It won’t be easy. People will judge you. Many might not understand you. But all that doesn’t matter. What does matter is the impact that you choose to have on others.
Moleskin
We sincerely struggled to name our FNG today.
Picasso seemed like he wanted more, going the extra mile.
The Q’s cadence was thrown off a few times because someone was counting “1-10, 1-11, 1-12…”
