Re-Flect, Re-Engage, Re-Calibrate, Re-Load and go attack the day; words that resonate proverbially as we ebb and flow through F3 posts every week, month, years. Such consistency can lead to monotony and complacency creeps into the process and PAX start looking for reasons other than leadership and perseverance and growth to keep them coming back; they look to post counts, Q counts, looking for more social media and Slack channels to engage virtually; all things that have merit and a place but not as a re-place; men need personal engagement to battle their fears and anxiety; they need to be able to share in their pain and sweat and sometimes tears; they need an person to person conversation so they can see their eyes and hear their voice; they need the slap on the ass, they need the fist bump, they need other men; then they need faith; faith to ground them in their lives, faith to give away their pain and suffering, faith that only comes from being brought down to your knees and having no other choice but to persevere and fight; faith that makes you look into the mirror and know that you cannot lie or cheat the man looking back at you; that is F3 so lets get back to the basics and….Re-Flect, Re-Engage, Re-Calibrate, Re-Load and go on the offensive in your life
T-Claps to Zoolander in coming to the Gloom after a sabbatical; man it is good to see you again in that circle and jumping back in full force with lending hands when others were struggling with their weight; Evel, appreciate your re-engagement and dedication to fight the battle each day and keep those Instagram inspirational posts coming brother; Angus; no other words than just a badass; LegRider (who I can going to go full bore to change his name to ‘Lil Joe’ if anyone remembers Mike Tyson Punchout when you were between belts and running the New York skyline; also with you and Korn and Speedo; might be thinking a FSU AO coming soon with maybe a flag on a spear and some Gator heads hanging from chains…(sorry Ricco and G-Mo)….Houdini who is the hardest person on himself but keeps it honest and keeps his feet moving; I know you had to battle today but I also know you have fought many battles in your life that has led you here; Fruit, you equate to a boulder of a man with the faith to change lives and give me inspiration every time I am lucky enough to go shoulder to shoulder with you; TP; your smile is contagious and that smile will power you through any sickness or setback; it is your sign of strength and your gift to others; LD; we go way back and your passion and re-dedication to your life when you almost lost in many moons ago; I remember the day you showed back up to Leon and just walked behind us while we posted inch by inch, step by step to mentality and physically build yourself back new, back better and have risen to heights that I do not think were possible if you had not had that event in your life; Crayola; you and I need to have a long lunch or a beer rather as I want to hear your great story; I have a gut feeling it is one of pain and triumph, one of losses and victories; one that has shown you your ‘Why’; hope to find out soon…….so gentlemen of the F3 Tallahassee region; lets go get 1% better today and tomorrow (and let Wiseguy run the exponential quadratics in his head to the result ofter 1 year); -MG out but not dead
