CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC spoke about hard work. I recently listened to an interview of Tim Kennedy  by Tim Ferris (stay with me here). During part of the interview Ferris asked Kennedy if he could put up a billboard  where everyone could read it what would it say? Kennedy’s response was “Everything you want is on the far side of hard work”. As soon as I heard him say that I knew that the first COT that I lead would be about this. He went on to say Freedom is only had because people worked hard to achieve it. If you want to be successful at something you must work hard. Want a good marriage? Work hard at it. Want a good sex life? Hard work.  Want good sleep? Work hard during the day, make good eating choices, put away the iPhone at night, all hard things that we must work  at. Want to grow spiritually? Put in the work to study and grow closer to God.
I left the PAX with a challenge to take notice and to be sure they are putting in just as much hard work in the other areas of their lives as they are during each mornings workout.

MOLESKIN:
This was my first time to Q a workout and while I do lead people in my work they are not usually looked at as peers, this in some ways made today’s experience better. Better in a way that I didn’t need to show that I knew more or was more qualified to be leading than the others around me. It’s just a bunch of dudes working out together and to me that is a freeing thing.
Thank you to the guys that showed up and also to Choker for the public apology for not being there.
