The message for Beyond was around being selfish
Humans we are naturally selfish people. As a child you grow up thinking everything should be centered around
you. Even as I moved into adulthood I still didn’t completely understand what it meant to put others first.
Because I never had anyone who was dependent upon me. When I got married I was quickly called out that it is now “we”
and not “I” which was initially hard for me to understand at first. Then several years later reality smacked me in the face
when we had our first child. Now there was someone in my life that was 100% reliant upon me. I quickly had to figure
out as all parents do how to adjust and make things happen.
In my life I am the most selfish with my time. I don’t like to spend “my” time on things that “I” feel are not as important
as other things.
There are 24 hours in a day
1440 minutes
Average person sleeps 7 hours
works 9 hours
spends 2 hours in a car
This leaves 8 hours for everything else (Wife, kids, Quite time, F3, Whetstone, etc)
How do you manage your time? Is is the smartest way?
As I was preparing for this Q I kept going back to how do I manage my time and how I think I should be. I will be
the first to say I am nowhere near the model, but I desire to be able to say that I will one day get there.
Time Priority:
1. God
2. Wife
3. Family
4. Friends
One of the most important things that I hope the Pax take from the workout is Kids spell LOVE – TIME. The more time you
spend with them the more love they feel. Think about that next time when one of your kids ask you to do something and you
would rather be doing something else. They won’t always be around so enjoy the time you have with them now.
Warmup:
SSH 20 IC

–With being a beyond workout figured since it just rained we needed to embrace the suck and get on the ground
The thang:
Partner up
P1 – runs to end of parking lot and back
P2 – works on burpee / sandbag thruster (1 burpee / 1 thruster, 2 burpees, 2 thrusters, etc until 10)
Each partner does their own until they reach 10 of each
Next
P1 – runs to end of parking lot
P2 – pick up sandbag on shoulder and toss backward until P1 returns
rinse and repeat x 3
Exercises done holding either ruck, sandbag or cinderblock:
Squats 20 IC
Squat pulses 10 IC
Flutters 20 IC
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
