Today my share is actual a post from F3_ItalianJob (East Cost TRUEbadour from the Carolinas)

“Chose your words wisely. Don’t speak to be heard, but rather speak when necessary. Words have the power to build up or tear down. Rash words are like sword thrusts and an unchecked tongue is like wind to a fire. Think before you speak and make it worth others listening.”

Announcements:

We’ve had 8 FNG’s since mid-December, that’s 6 in the new year, and one PAX relo. This is awesome, I couldn’t be more proud. This will grow, because we are mission to better and shape the men of our communities. Keep leaning in, ask those friends, co-workers, neighbors, Let’s Give it Away

Remember –> Plant, Serve, Grow.

My encouragement for today is to push each of you to center your focus around your own Circle of Influence. With all the noise and uncertainty around, yes even the mess in DC, it’s important to control what you can control. While we may be concerned or outraged or frustrated or even pleased, we need to find awareness that we don’t control that outcome. Let’s use today to pour into ourselves, our families, our church, our colleagues, our friends, and our brothers of F3. Be strong, be positive, and be the change you want to see in your community.

Got to meet our newest PAX, Tyler Wood (aka Andy).

Remember –> Plant, Serve, Grow.

Moleskin

I finish this thing off with a simple quote, that has tremendous depth, one to truly make you think. I share this with one consideration, how you approach any moment, is first shaped by your own opinion of how you will manage thru it. The quote is from one of America’s captain’s of industry, Henry Ford, who once said in reflection of his life, “Whether You Think You Can Or Think You Can’t, You’re Right.”

Welcomed to the PAX two FNGs, got to know them both a little more and are better for it. Clap it up for Slash and Cherokee, welcome to F3 boys.
