Date: 2024-01-05 AO: the-brave Q: midriff PAX: soft_pretzel, fire_hazard, kirby, Hippie, frasier, teddyf3, Franky, Gruden FNGs: None COUNT: 9 @WildTurkey inspired me yesterday at The Phoenix to incorporate Q Source truth nuggets into my Q’s. A four-mile route seemed like the perfect way to infuse the four quadrants of preparedness (F5 from the book): Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right and Leave Right.
THE THANG: Mosey towards Johnston road, stopping for a brief warmup (Fire Hazard correctly pointing out that warmups are not part of the Freed2Lead Manual).
Mosey to amphitheater parking lot, stopping for jumpsquats at each light along the way. Stop at the amp parking lot to GET RIGHT: To properly align himself the Q takes the Daily Red Pill (the DRP). This is his daily commitment to accelerate his fitness, fellowship and faith. Broadjump and lunge to other side of parking lot. Pose this question to pax: Am I acting as a leader both within F3 and within the organizations/groups of which I am a member?
Mosey to new connection point to the greenway. Stop under the bridge for some rock work and to LIVE RIGHT: To be purposeful the Q focuses on IMPACT. This is the forcible contact to strong effect that the Q will have on the other Members of his Groups if his personal alignment is proper. Lunge curls and squat press with rock. Finish with merkins on the rock. Post this question to pax: Am I consistently accelerating my preparedness in the mission essential aspects of my life?
Mosey to bridge crossing behind Pike’s, stopping for LBC’s for the six. Attack the hill up to Pikes. BBSU’s and plank to LEAD RIGHT: To practice Effective leadership, the properly aligned and purposeful Q continually hones the skills he needs to enable his Communities to be healthy, his Organizations to be Effective and his Teams to be dynamic. Question to pax: Am I freely giving away the things in my life that have value?
Mosey back to launch, stopping for lots of merkins on the way back. Plank for LEAVE RIGHT: To build a legacy, the aligned and purposeful Q exerts Disruptive leadership with IMPACT throughout his lifetime and beyond. Question to pax: Do I love the people I lead more than myself? Final mosey to launch. Stop for 5 burpees, and sprint to the starting line.
CoT: Prayers up for Dosey Doe’s wife, Hippie’s grandfather, Space Force shipping out for training in 10 days. Kirby challenged us to lead disruptively by pulling guys back out into the gloom. If we are leaders, we are called to disrupt the status quo of other sad clowns and survivors and invite them to join on the path to servant leadership.
“Preparedness is built upon Bricks, but its impetus and accelerant is love. When all else falls away, it is only love that will remain.”
