Qs: Safe Ride
Safe Ride welcomed the PAX to Heavy Metal promptly at 5:30am. The Mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. The 5 Core Principles: 1) It’s free; 2) open to all men; 3) always held outdoors; 4) peer led in a rotating fashion; and 5) ends in a circle of trust.
Safe Ride reminded everyone that he is not a professional. There is a real risk of injury so please modify as necessary.

COT:
Safe Ride read the following quotes to the PAX:
“Find happiness by enjoying the journey, not by awaiting the destination”: Peter Sheppard Skaerved
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it”: Ferris Bueller
In F3, and really all aspects of life, Safe Ride sometimes gets too focused on end results, destinations, and milestones. Goals are important and are good motivators (see what I did there) to push a man forward. It’s important, however, to enjoy the process or journey of achieving those goals. This path of life is hopefully a nice long journey for all of us. We shouldn’t be in a rush to reach the end. Enjoy the scenery.
Much love,
Safe Ride
