Anvil, Table for 1…
Date: 2024-03-06 AO: _area-51 Q: Point Break PAX: Point Break FNGs: None COUNT: 1 Having given fair warning last night that it would be raining, and that yes, we would be getting wet, it turned into a solo effort at Anvil this morning. Which gave me a chance to think back on my 4+ years with F3.
Last night, I challenged the men of F3 that the reason we do these workouts outside is to help us build our mental strength and to not allow something we cannot control, control us. Anyone can workout in the afternoon or evening. Anyone can workout inside in the air condition. Anyone can workout in a safe and dry space. But we aren’t called to be just anyone. We’re called to be leaders of men. It’s the mental strength we build for ourselves that set us apart.
This isn’t meant to be a lecture. It’s probably more of a pep-talk for myself than anything else.
But it’s time to get uncomfortable again. My first few months at F3 were extremely uncomfortable. But they were also extremely rewarding. I was being pushed and challenged by men with the mental and physical capabilities to help make me better. Men who held me accountable. Men who helped me accelerate.
4+ years in and I can clearly see that accelerating is different than coasting. Coasting requires no effort and forces you to follow the flow. It can fool us into thinking that we’re still making progress when in reality, we’re slowly losing momentum. Accelerating requires commitment and a desire to move forward. It’s about adding momentum to our momentum. That was the fuel that got me hooked early in F3 and it’s easy to lose sight of as life continues to get more and more hectic.
I hope this message finds at least one person who needed to hear it. One person who is looking for the accountability and motivation to get uncomfortable and to start accelerating again. Every single one of us had that spark at some point in our F3 history. Have confidence knowing that it’s still in there.
Have a blessed Wednesday men. SYITG.
