Circle of Trust

Prayers were called for Evan, Party Boy’s Dad and family, Pi’s friends, Toasted Coconut’s knee recovery.  Apologies for missing other requests.  Thanks to all for coming out ITG.  Never a regret climbing out of bed during the four o’clock hour to get better with you all!!

Was listening to a few podcasts, most recently an interview with Jason McCarthy on the Jocko Podcast.  Jason is the founder of Go Ruck.  Lots of interesting topics but came away with his perspective on not being afraid to have discussions with others, even if you disagree on a subject.  Engage with others and gain perspective.  Understand that we all tick a different way.  Learn how to keep your eyes open and listen more.  Have an opinion but make sure it’s an informed and well thought out opinion.

Another take away was to teach your kids to serve the community when they can.  Help them to understand there is more to life than checking to see how many “likes” they received on IG or what “perfect worlds” other people live in.  Help them to understand things like helping family and friends when they need it, not just out of convenience or to check a box for  the national honor society or a college application.  And try to teach them to do the right thing, even when it’s not popular or easy.

Not preaching to you all, I just have two young daughters and I hear about what goes on in their world and just thought I’d share what I heard on the podcast.  Thanks to the PAX for bearing with me…did NOT want to come off as sounding “preachy”
