QIC: Animal House
5:15 AM Animal House welcomed the Pax to F3 – reminding them of the F3 Mission: Plant, Grow and Serve small workout groups of men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Animal House then attempted to recite the F3 Credo and failed miserably. Here is the correct version: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him.
Animal House then recited the 5 core principles of F3. 1) Free of charge 2) Open to all men. 3) Held outdoors, 4) Peer led in a rotating fashion and 5) Ends with a Circle of Trust (COT).
Animal then informed the group that he is not a professional and to modify as necessary.

Message:
Animal House discussed a conversation with his son’s recently and how they were not good at setting goals. This prompted him to self-reflect, realizing they are growing up so fast and he needed to cherish the times he has with them. He then set two goals: Make time for the boys, have a weekly date night with his wife.
Below is some content I found to prepare me for this COT. Take time to do this, set goals, you’ll be better for it.
Introspection?
Introspection is the process of looking inward to evaluate your thoughts, feelings and goals. By examining your own mental and emotional processes, you can learn a lot about yourself and your needs. Introspection is often a journey that takes commitment, time and honesty. Asking yourself thought-provoking and introspective questions is another effective way to perform self-evaluations.
Do I like the person I’ve become?
This can sometimes be a tough question to ask yourself. Personal development is a never-ending journey. It takes hard work and commitment to become the person you’re proud to be. The good news is, it’s always possible to become a better person, and the mistakes of your past don’t have to define the choices of your future. The first step to self-acceptance is to acknowledge where you are and to commit to always trying to be the best version of yourself.
Aye, brothers! Keep accelerating! AH
