Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” 

Philippians 4:8, when he tells the Philippians to “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Decide today to live free from negative and harmful thoughts and to replace them with God thoughts.

Prayer defined by defiance, discipline and endurance. Daniel 6:10. Daniel thrown into Lions Den for setting an example of consistent prayer life. It is counter cultural and when we pray to honor and please our audience of one, HE will remain faithful to take care of our greatest needs!
These same principles can also develop mental toughness to push through a workout!  1) Defiance toward what your mind says impossible 2) discipline yourself to wake up and push yourself regularly 3) Endurance – It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Daniel Chapter 1 – Read it when you get a chance.

Highlights- in 1 weeks time, God allowed 4 young men to be kidnapped, castarated, their names changed from God honoring names to Satan honoring names, then commanded to study astrology and the occult (dark magic) for the next 3 years in order to serve the King of Babylon aka the most evil region ever known.

Yet through it all, these 4 remained true to who they were and did not abandon their faith. 

3 keys to Daniel’s Success:

  1. He was optimistic – God focused
  2. He  showed humility and respect toward authority.
  3. He learned great wisdom -picked his battles wisely.

Be a Daniel and be a leader worth following through even the most difficult times!

    As I am about a week late with this backblast, I did not remember all the details of the COT. It has been a busier than usual week in my world and I do apologize for this. I made a commitment and did not fulfill it. With getting older comes more responsibility to both yourself and others. Always have a plan. Without it, you plan to fail.

      Yesterday, 03/13/2019, YHC was scheduled to Q at the Lion’s Den. Unfortunately, I awoke to “call Ralph” and bowed out of the scheduled Q.  Threeskin and Prosciutto volunteered to pick up the Slack (pun intended).  Additionally, Prosciutto voluntarily admitted he once slept late for a Q, and sometimes a HIM misses a Q.
      Well, once I heard of this gracious act and statement, I remembered his story of the Exicon addition of ALARM.  I asked Geek Squad for the opportunity to Q, and we chose to co-Q.  I felt it only fitting to pay homage to Prosciutto and complete the ALARM Routine as a very small appreciation for his help yesterday.  Big thanks to Threeskin as well and his help.  The message here: we all falter at some point, and we all need help at some point in our lives.  We see it in action in F3, and we should do our best to always Pay it Forward.  Get the karma monster on your side.

      Plethora of “she said” jokes. (We are dudes at 0515, brain activity is slower, depth is much more shallow….in that spirit, we also do not really care what people think about our antics)
      Dewayne went swimming in The Delaware…ALL the Dewaynes went swimming in the Delaware. Milkman ALMOST went swimming in the Delaware. He was told he has a really big one (when trying to recover a rock from the Delaware) and his response was, “thanks for the confidence builder.”
      Hasbro has a REALLY BIG….gold chain
      We made sure all exercises were completed and named with the utmost political correctness

      What is this, 80s song?  *as “Too Legit to Quit” plays which was quickly corrected to note it is a 90s song because he went by “Hammer” at that time.  Your Q actually attended the Too Legit to Quit tour in Knoxville, TN at Thompson Boling Arena.  Boyz II Men opened for him.
      When your Q saw a white truck with a TN Vols plate on the front, I started jumping around thinking the Great “Pumpkin” had returned.  She-Shed steps out and looks puzzled as to why I am hooting and hollering because he showed. I tried to make him feel as special as Pumpkin would have.  LOL!

      Mr Clean — The sign of a true wise man comes with the ability ability of discernment or taking one’s knowledge and using it to make a sound decision. I gave an example of my extremely intelligent Autistic student, while filled with a ridiculous amounts of knowledge, is almost crippled with fear when a “WHY” question is posed due to the reasoning and discernment skills required to answer such a question.  CHALLENGE: Be the man who discerns, be the man who does not outsmart his common sense.

As always Geek brought the beats and as I was driving to go work almost nude, I noticed Geek, Clean, and HasBro rucking and HasBro was rucking the speaker 🚁💪😎
      GeekSquad – In no particular order…
      During raccoon crawls the question was asked, “you know what hot dogs are made of?”
      Pickle Pounders while listening to Marvin Gaye of course prompted the reminder to maintain eye contact.
      we skipped ahead in song history and then back to keep the USA theme going and said it must have been due to one of the best 80s movies ever made, Back to the Future.
      Finally, “isn’t it ironic that Reagan was known for tearing down a wall, while Trump is trying to build one!”

      The Count corrected a few people on their form and speed as needed!
      YHC focused on proper call outs by saying IC when he should have substituted OYO, but got better as we went.

      “The most important thing in communication is to hear what is not being said.”  – Peter Drucker
      This is an important part of what makes great leaders!
      In my role at TVA I am oftentimes faced with this. Everyone has a different perspective and a different focus when trying to resolve an issue.  Some will speak up, while others who have the best plan/answer may not feel comfortable speaking up because of who is in the room.  You have to be cognizant of this and create a safe place culture in order to find what is the best for the organization as a whole!
      Collaboration is more effective when the leader can pick up on non-verbal cues and steer them the right way for the betterment of the team.
      I challenged our guys to apply the same principle to their interactions with others in F3.  Pay attention to the non-verbal signals others may be giving. In those moments, step up and take action. An encouraging word or just coming alongside your brother through a tough exercise or situation may mean more to them than you may ever know!
      We can all become great leaders if we focus on investing in others and leading by example, in our attitude, in what we say and sometimes even in what we don’t say.
