COT
This workout is called The Beast (6-6-6). But I’ll rename it to The Jester. The Q Source has a chapter on The Jester. (Side Note: Link to Q Source is on the F3 Churham website under the “Pax” tab).

“The Jester is the temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. A HIM accepts the truth that the fight against his Jester is a daily battle that is his responsibility to fight. The HIM is a Leader who takes responsibility for the Outcome, and there is nowhere that this is more true than here. He gets ready for the expected and stays ready for the unexpected. How he does this depends on the man and his unique Jester.”

The Jester proliferates five big friggin’ lies:
1. He is the boss of you. The Jester is a parasite. Tell him to fuck off. You are your own boss.
2. You are What you Do. But You are not what you do, but what you are intended to be.
3. You are not that bad of guy. Moral relativism.
4. Jester and Virtue can co-exist. Big, good things can’t outweigh small, bad things. Virtue is uncompromising.
5. You can’t live if living is without the Jester. At its heart, there is no hope. But, as HIMs, we are purveyors of hope!

Who/What is your Jester? How can you prepare to battle him? How can you prepare for the unexpected?

“While I can never out-paddle my Jester, the faster my boat is Accelerating through the water the harder it is for him to capsize it."

Thank you as always for the opportunity and for your support. Have a great day!
