Circle of Trust

The thought for the day was perseverance, the ability to hold steadfast in your path despite adversity. If you look at people who are highly successful in all walks of life, be it in business, sports, music, acting, or whatever, they tend to have something you can’t learn in school. Grit. The ability to overcome and obstacle.

I would butcher a great quote from Muhammad Ali about perseverance when asked about training, so I paraphrase. When asked about what he liked most about training, he said nothing. He hated training, but he suffered through it because he wanted to be a champion.

This idea of perseverance is one that has resonated with me. The world has been rocked since the beginning of 2020, but I am confident that when it is all said and done, we will as a world be stronger because of it because when we suffer through something, we come out stronger on the other side. Another thing that came to mind is the idea of the workouts we do. The one today was simple, but it would take grit and determination. One advantage we have of men of F3 is that we can lean on our brothers, be it our shield lock, or other people in our workout to help pick us up and push us to overcome obstacles. Let’s continue to be High Impact Men and persevere through our challenges. Lean on your brothers as they may lean on you when you can, but if need be, resolve to be steadfast in your walk despite obstacles.

Let’s pray – Father God, thank you for the ability to get up and get the day started off right with these other men. Special prayers for Mr. Miyagi, who is the epitome of perseverance, who will overcome his adversity and will be out in the gloom with us soon. Also, special prayers for Carmen SanDiego’s mother, who he is caring for. May the family feel your hands on their house, and may they be comforted and have divine Peace. In your Son’s name we lift these prayers.

Amen
