Introduction
Preblast
AOVQ
This is my coupon. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My coupon is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my coupon is useless. Without my coupon, I am useless. I must workout with my coupon keeping proper form. I must workout with my coupon harder than any HIM.
My coupon and I know what matters most, it’s not the time in my garage or the time in my trunk or the number of times we show up together and post. It’s the number of reps we do together.
My coupon is human, even as I, because it is my life, thus I will treat it as a brother, we will become part of each other.

Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for the ability to get up, roll out of bed, the courage to make good decisions that make us better. Thank you for the strength of F³ Naperville and F³ Nation’s good cause to make better stronger men and leaders, thank you for the strength of this brotherhood and the strength of the brothers who surround me here this morning. We pray that we may stay strong through these times of uncertainty and stress. Please help remove the fear and give us guidance and give our leaders vision to get back to the known. Lord, we pray for Carmen Sandiego’s dad who is recovering from a stroke. We also pray for Kristen Howard who is battling many cancers. We pray for the lives lost and the families affected in the Surfside condo collapse in FL. Sulley’s knee
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen

Thank you for joining me this morning men. My son, Apples, was sworn in yesterday. We don’t wake up for easy. Getting up ITG sucks, working out in the wet slushy snow sucks and 39° Sucks! Embrace The Suck.
“Embrace The Suck” military speak for “The Situation Is Bad, But Deal With It”
It’s a very Buddhist concept. When we deny what reality is giving us, what is really happening, then we create suffering. So life is a dance between minimizing expectations and surrendering to what our lives actually reveal to us.
By embracing our lives totally (even the stuff that “sucks”), we get through them.
The Armed Forces have no other choice. If they’re out in the Iraqi desert or in the mountains of Afghanistan, the only way they’re going to get through those challenging experiences is by embracing (rather than denying or ignoring) them.
But for us with our modern conveniences and propensity for denial, we can distract ourselves, numb ourselves, fool ourselves over and over to avoid, disconnect, ignore, postpone, procrastinate and put our heads in the sand when we don’t want to look at what is.
