A lesson I learned this week: sometimes career opportunities pay more in dollars but cost more in the things that actually matter. Career trajectory and higher compensation aren’t worth the sacrifice of time with your loved ones. No one on their death bed says, “I wish I would have spent more time at work.” There’s a very good chance your job posting will go online before your obituary.

We often ask God to lighten our load, but sometimes He strengthens us by teaching us how to carry it. That looks like showing up when you’re tired. It means investing in others even when you see little results. It means leading when recognition is absent. It means remaining faithful to your mission instead of being fixated on measurable success.

Keep going, especially when it’s tough. The process is shaping you into a stronger man.

Q Source – Trust Q3.3

Leave a comment

I'm going from memory so forgive me if I missed a PAX or three.
We talked about trust as the latest QSource topic. We discussed if you're trustworthy, how you develop trust and what happens to a team when trust does/doesn't exist.

Simple and sweaty

Leave a comment

I saw something online about how the 21-15-9 series was the most optimal workout routine so I decided to test it out. Quick disclaimer, light jog around the lot, some warm-up stretches, then pick up bags and move to front of school.

21 reps each of clean and presses, bent over rows, and jump overs. Front rack carry bag to end of columns and back. Repeat same 3 exercises but 15 reps of each. Bear hug carry bag to end and back. 9 reps of same 3 exercises then front rack carry down and back.

Next series is walk over push ups, squats with bag on back, and over the shoulders. 21 of each, single shoulder carry down and back. 15 of each, other shoulder carry, 9 of each, then front rack carry down and back.

Over head carry to end of columns. Bag toss to next cross walk. Back to COT and finish with 21 big boys. Solid work by all PAX. Thanks for opportunity @U088CUMTQ05
