If you've read Freed to Lead or the QSource, or if you've listened to F3 podcasts, you've heard of the Daily Red Pill aka DRP. It is a reference to the Matrix movie when Morpheus tells Neo that if he takes to red pill he will "stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” F3 uses this to describe the challenge we face every morning we pull ourselves out of bed to post. It's often not easy, especially when it's cold and or wet. We paused a couple times today to share why we choose to post when we don't feel like it.
-Avoiding death was offer by one who family has heart disease.
-Avoidance of shame was another; the shame he feels when he doesn't put on the clothes he set out the night before.
-How much better the day will be starting it the gloom.
Thanks to the men who shared their motivations wit the group!
I have an office in my house. It's all of 4x7ft, but it has a window and it's all mine! My family views my 28 square feet as a place to put things they don't know where else to put. One such item is a whistle that was required for refereeing indoor volleyball. Since no one plays indoor now, the whistle was placed on my shelf. It has been singing a siren song that I could no longer resist. In response to this imaginary compulsion, there was intermittent burpees whenever the whistle was blown. How many burpee did that add to? I don't know, but as Champ has said "don't count the reps, make the reps count!"
