COT:
Happy New Year! Went around the COT, asked everyone 1. what were they most thankful for in 2025; 2. What about 2025 that they were glad it is over and gone; and 3. What are they looking forward to in 2026. A lot of great candor in the COT regarding this. THIS is what the COT is all about!

Take what you are getting out of F3, how it has helped make you better in whatever ways, and try your best to pay it forward and spread it. Take the positive ripple effects it has had in your life and continue to make more positive ripple effects, eventually all those ripples will cover oceans. Someone may see what you are doing, how you are becoming a better person, and may want a part of that for themselves. If you can EH them into F3, great, but at the least be a positive impact on them. It may be all they need to push themselves out of their situations and into something better.
