It was a moist, humid morning. The message covered a fairly simple topic, Life.
We delved into the topic of chance with the use of a coin flip. Winner named the activity and rep count. Things are at times (Most) out of our hands. We are but passengers on this life river as we flow along. We did a few rounds of this. Lots of curveballs were thrown out of the most unexpected PAX. Life doesn't go as we planned and usually we don't get what we expect out of someone.
Life is about Choices. The choice was to get across the park from the bathroom to the playground. The options were bear crawl or burpee broad jump. The catch, every time you changed your mind there was a 5 merkin penalty.
We then teamed up to chose who would go first. The only way your partner could move is if you did 1 merkin per step. The object, get 1 partner over the line and then BOTH were done. For reference there was about 70-90 steps to get across. Some teams did equal amounts and crossed together. Others, Mine and Dark Helmets, relied on 1 person to basically do all the work so the other could advance. Then we both chilled at the end waiting on the other, less able teams.
But wait, there's more….The next set of partner work was the same concept but the exercise was burpees. The catch, whoever crossed first on the original trek could NOT be the one to cross first this time. The lesson, sometimes finishing first isn't all it turned out to be. Sometimes the person out from will the next day need to carry someone else. Needless to say I did more burpees this morning than in my entire time at f3 combined.
We then had a lesson on encouragement but I'm tired of typing.
We also did the scrotum tunnel just so everyone could get a rash in the grass.
Lastly we concluded with an unfair amount of burpees selected for random PAX. some did 1, some 3, some 5…..guess what, LIFE isn't fair. Deal with that shit and move on.
At the end of it all the message is this, it is ALL life. the good, bad, fair, unfair, choices, encouragement, discouragement, chance, highs, lows. There is no BIG thing to discover. If your waiting for that your wasting your life. Appreciate it all. Find joy in a birds chirp, contentment in mashing that dam keyboard for 8 hours a day, reach to the heaven and give thanks for it all. The argument with the wife, the aggravation with the kids, the person who cut you off in traffic.
Your PERSPECTIVE will drive your life. Stop waiting
