CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Challenged the PAX with a thought from the Rich Roll podcast (link provided) that Crayfish shared with me where he interviews David Goggins (book “Can’t Hurt Me”…currently no. 2 on Amazon).  Goggins describes motivation as kindling.  Kindling helps start a fire but it doesn’t maintain it.  He speaks to the mindset of consistency in trial and difficulty and that for a man to be able to show up each day over and over again that he will need more than motivation. He will need more than kindling. Challenged the PAX that with this being the new year and getting things started that the motivations that we have will serve as kindling, but we need to recognize the need for additional behaviors, people, organizations, etc. that are needed for us to achieve the goals that we have for ourselves, our families, our workplaces, our churches, etc.
MOLESKIN:
Great run.  Squeegee is awesome at signaling while running.  He should be the Run Safety Q FWIW. Teacher’s Pet was trying to use dictation on his iPhone and ask Bookworm if he was “coming in hot”, thus the “Siri, are you coming in hot?”
