QIC: Wait Time
YHC greeted the PAX on an extremely soupy morning. The rain stopped just in time for us to launch the Red Wing Murph from the shovel flag at Aldrich Elementary. Eight men heard the bell, and didn’t let a chance of rain keep them in the Fartsack.

COT:
YHC shared a brief COT on COURAGE. This was taken from the “Daily Stoic” podcast from author Ryan Holiday (who wrote “Ego is the Enemy”). Holiday said that we must remember that courage isn’t typically about a general mindset. Instead, COURAGE is about a moment. Most courageous acts happen in less than 20 seconds. People are not brave generally, but specifically. This morning, the PAX exhibited courage during the 20 seconds immediately following the alarm going off. Rather than succumbing to the fartsack on a rainy Monday morning, those who posted had 20 seconds of courage to rise up and post at the MURPH.
So this week, find an opportunity for 20 seconds of insane courage or embarrassing bravery.” Speak up in a meeting, make a difficult request, talk to someone about a conversation that you have been avoiding. It only takes 20 seconds of courage.
Grace & Peace,
Wait Time
