COT
i didn’t read this verbatim but I wrote it. I keep it close to my heart literally in my shirt pocket every day.
Men, my COT today builds off what I shared at the Donut Shop earlier this week.
On Tuesday, I had to sit down with my son’s teachers and hear that he is not doing well in school. That conversation was heavy. It was uncomfortable. It required listening, ownership, and patience.
Then on Wednesday morning, that same eleven year old showed up at the Donut Shop and picked up some heavy weights. And he is going to keep picking up heavy weights until his grades improve. Not as punishment, but as practice.
Because a young man like him needs to learn emotional endurance. He needs to learn that when something is hard, you do not avoid it. You stay with it.
That is a big part of what we do here in F3. We show up. We take the next step. On a ruck, we are carrying something heavy and we are moving forward. Every step matters. You do not skip the hard ones.
And when each step is taken with men you trust, the weight feels lighter. The push ups get easier. Showing up every morning becomes possible.
There were fourteen men here this morning. And just like we train our bodies, we are also training emotional endurance. For ourselves, and for our kids.
Because life is going to ask them to endure. School, relationships, work, disappointment. Our job is not to remove the weight. Our job is to teach them how to carry it, step by step, with integrity, and with people they trust.
That is what we are doing here. One rep, one step, one morning at a time.
