    Human Ingenuity has changed the definition of Manning Up. Most often, Manning up mentally, emotionally, & spirituality are more critical to our lives than the Manning Up of men before us. However, the mental Manning Up is the spark that ignites all other man ups in our life. The mental Man Up is the initial man up. Master your mental man up.

      Lots of F3 workouts don’t necessarily allow for PR. When given notice upfront about a certain task at hand with a defined criteria and end goal, F3 men should come prepared.

      1 mile, plenty of notice. The 3rd Quarter often determines the outcome of competitions. The 3rd Quarter of a mile lap is the hardest. Freed To Lead says F3 is to support men in the 3rd Quarter of life. We’ll do it again in the fall, you’ve been warned!~

                  Humbled and blessed to be Qing my 1 year anniversary. While I was able to keep my F3 routine alive, I dropped my morning devotional Jesus is Calling during the move. Opened up again for the first time last night.
                  This morning’s devotional talks about letting God prepare you for the day ahead. I’m at my best when I’m spending time with Him every morning. I give my best to others when I’ve spent time with Him in the morning.
                  Find the morning ritual that brings out your best and stick to it.
