YHC will admit that he has long been a “Goals Guy”. In the past, I have been one of those guys who set lofty goals for myself and others only to be disappointed if I didn’t achieve that goal. In corporate America, setting goals is commonplace. And just when you think you might achieve that goal, companies set a “stretch goal” that is just outside of your reach but may be possible if you work a little harder.

As I think about my past, I set many goals to be a better Father, Husband, Leader and mostly to be be at fitness. Heck, I even made my kids set goals as part of their New Years Resolutions. Honestly, my children were better at achieving their goals than I have been.

What I have learned is that breaking goals into smaller chunks makes them much easier to swallow and adds more consistency in my life. There is a word for this….HABITS. F3 has become a habit for me. Sure it was hard at first to get up in the morning so early. But this habit has translated into those lofty goals that I had set for myself in the past of being a better Father, Husband, Leader and getting in shape. Here is a good read on the matter… https://www.farnamstreetblog.com/2017/06/habits-vs-goals/

With this in mind, 13 Pax arrived at Quagmire to celebrate those habits that make us better and remind us to get rid of the bad habits too!

Good words spoken by Cornhole on creating/fostering a relationship with his son and by Bonzai on listening to friends, colleagues, spouse rather than judging or offering advice. Prayer is always a good answer.

Always a pleasure to lead! Thanks to Da vinci for his leadership and the opportunity!
