Circle of Trust
It is not about not being resilient. we need to be resilient. But forget about manning up. We need to man in.
When we man up, we forget about ourselves. We negate our responsibility. We cease to take ownership of who we are. we deny ourselves of our truth. we forget about our feelings. we suppress. we forget about our responsibilities are as men. we are telling the world that its ok to not feel ok. It is ok to pretend to be someone else. When you man up, you lose your potential your brilliance, your depth as a man.
When you man in, you are wiling to do the work. Man in means opening your heart. Feel your body. Feel your feelings. Remind yourself that you are a feeling being. Manning in is looking at a self-reflection of who we are, taking ownership and steed of what we believe in. Our values, our Morales our ethics, our faith, our purpose.
When we man in, we are intense in our relating. We are willing to traverse pain, fear and the darkness. You are willing to look at your stuff, your mistakes your actions. Your choices. Look at who you are as a man.
MAN IN, not MAN UP
When we man up we give ourselves an excuse to not feel and to pretend to be someone else. To prioritize aesthetics and externalities over how we truly wish to be in the world. We don’t give others an opportunity to really love us for who we are and to care for us.
When we are manning in, we are inspired.
When we are manning up we are falsely pushed towards something. we are looking for attention but suppressing that pain and pretending everything is ok.
When we man in, we have presence. In our expression. We have clarity, wisdom. Cause we have choose to be within. We become a witness to the power that is us. We become a true authentic self of our own. We become who we were born to be.
Manning in means we are Men of presence, structure, courage. Giving ourselves every opportunity to thrive.
Man in, not just for you, but for those who care for you.
Naked Man Moleskin
As I was setting up I expected to see the EC crew pull up. Well two surprises.
Gaylord showed up for the EC and went on his business with his headphnes. He was saving up the mumbler chatter for the latter part of the morning.
Nala never showed up to join Augustus Gloop who was looking for is EC HC buddy. Well Nala auto piloted to Citadel instead of coming to OP. He owes us one.
I was already pumped to see my church crew Gaylord, Skinner, LTC, Clipper, and Niners who brought in his brother FNG. However big suprises from Linsanity, Compass and Wannsted. Apparently Lisanity told his M the previous that day, as long as there are no indian runs, he should be fine. Oops. None the less, always a joy to see this men and push each other.
Vitamix pulled in a bit late but joined the party right away while Elway was solid as usual but had to a preCOT exit, thanks to Orange theory.
Snorkel was ripping thru the circuit. I guess this was just a warm for his latter day activity of the half ruck-a-thon. Beast mode.
Talking of beast mode, bozo who is basically the logo of EOP, was there and I had to make sure I kept up to his standards. I hope I did.
While doing the circuit, Shandy grabbed his speak on the way to start blasting some music. I was this was a humble AAP showing thru actions vs words.
Waterfall is showing signs of his usual speed as he is recovering from his injury and saved most of the mubble chatter for coffeteria.
Our FNG was bold enough to wear a packers hoddy. Did great for his first time and kept his head up. That didnt help him much though, as he was named Truibisky.
Talking of FNG, our newers PAX audre 2 stayed quiet but kept us with the pax but showed positives sign to return more often and also check out some run clubs.
Trailer park a true HIM, not only had the right shoes for the workouts, but was present there to take over the flag and siteq duties from Woodwind who has been serving that role for over a year. Great service and commitment. He said not he can finally sleep in now and then on a saturday morning and hit up the later AOs.
Augustus gloop was nice neough to grab my coupons and cones, along with bozo. but bozo continued on to find his car keys.
Another key was found during the workout, but owner found.
