Circle of Trust
“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.” Chinese Proverb
– As humans we often are looking for that next thing to make ‘me happy’. We all know the adrenaline rush of the new car, new house, new phone, collectible or whatever. In reality, the new car small wears off, my new house has the same problems as the last house, the phone is outdated three months later and all the collectible is doing is collecting dust. The adrenaline and happiness wears off. Sooner or later the ‘next thing’ becomes unsustainable or we realize it isn’t all it was cracked up to be. There are plenty of studies to suggest that we get happiness by giving happiness. After we leave here today, I challenge you to complete either a conscious or random act of kindness. Compliment your M or a 2.0 or both. Write a thank you to a coworker and copy their boss. Help a stranger with a door. Do something. No matter how large or how small, get it done.
– Prayers for Poutine’s mom, Brook’s mom, Wet Wipe’s father-in-law and Cannoli’s M on her job
– Prayer to St. Francis
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC was thinking earlier this week that we tend to repeat many of our exercises from workout to workout. This workout tried to find a few things buried for a while in the exicon (mountain man poopers, head, shoulders, knees & toes, and railroad ties), a few things not in the exicon (towel chase & steal the bacon) and a few things with a nasty twist on them (running backwards up a hill after torching your thighs at the top and bottom of said hill). Hope it met that goal and gave the 23 PAX in attendance something a little different and fun. Appreciate all you guys coming out!
