Circle of Trust
It’s been a tough busy week here…without going into details, I can’t complain as I know someone definitely has an actual tough week or has it much worse. For this, I’m grateful.
It does make me think about what we all consider to be hard or tough or what “going thru hell” might feel like to us. This, can very much differ from one person to the next. I wonder how much of it’s in our head. Majority in my opinion, maybe all of it. Because we are human, this varies.
I’ll be hosting a series of 3 Q’s ahead. This was Part 1 of 3 geared with the theme around the 9 Circles of Hell within Dante’s Inferno. The Inferno is 1 of 3 poems that make up the Divine Comedy. Said to be, one of the greatest literary works of all time.
When Dante enters the first circle of hell, he is guided by the Roman poet, Virgil. As they enter the first circle a sign reads, “abandon all hope, ye who enter here”. The message is that those who are sent to Hell have lost all hope.
On the flip side, there is hope for those who don’t get sent to hell. There is hope for those who can find a guide, a leader, someone like Virgil in this case. Someone like you all here today as part of F3.
There’s a connection here we talked about more in the F(4) LDP – Leadership Development Process at QSource to follow.
Who is your guide? Who is your leader? Can you be a guide or a leader for someone else? After all, isn’t this the motto of F3? To…
“Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.”
In closing…there his hope where there are leaders men. Thank you for providing that for me and thank you for providing that for others. It’s with your leadership, our leadership together, we can make it thru hell.
Whatever we consider hell to be.
Thanks for coming out to get bigger, better, faster, and stronger today.
Prayers.
