F3: Grappler

[Jim Harshaw, Jr. @jimharshaw]

When I hear 2 syllable words like “gas tank” or “woodshed” I bank them as potential nicknames for new friends.

.@F3Nation guys, tell me you do F3 without telling me. I’ll go first.

I have 6 pairs of workout gloves, one for each weather and temperature condition.

Today is Father's Day.

Not a day for perfect.
Not a day for the highlight reel.

A day to look your kids in the eyes and say:

"I see you. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."

That's the whole job.

Happy Father's Day.

I have a lot of friends, many of whom I don’t know their actual names.

If you want to know a man's priorities,

Don't look at his goals.

Look at his calendar.

The truth is always in the schedule.

@dreddcnc 🙂👊 Good to be back brother

[Jim Harshaw, Jr. @jimharshaw]

There's a version of you that almost quit.

That almost let the failure be the final word.

But you didn't.

That's your proof.

The next chapter is written by a man
who knows he can survive anything.

The most powerful thing you did today
might not be closing a deal or hitting a PR.

It might be sitting on the floor
playing Legos with your kid.

And actually being there.

Discipline isn't punishment.

It's the promise you make to your future self.

Every time you honor that promise,
You become a man who keeps his word.

First to yourself.
Then to everyone else.

The most underrated investment
a man can make:

Paying for access to people
who have already solved his problems.

The ROI isn't money.
It's years of your life back.

@GnarlyGoat School of Hard Knocks

[Jim Harshaw, Jr. @jimharshaw]

The strongest men I know aren't angry at the world.

They're too busy building something in it.

Grievance is a trap.
It feels like power.
It's actually surrender.

The moment you blame the world for your life,
You hand the remote control.

Keep yours.

@DanieloElliott Agreed. I write these for me 😏

[Jim Harshaw, Jr. @jimharshaw]

The meeting is over.
The laptop is closed.
You're home.

But are you really home?

Or is your body in the living room
while your mind is still in the boardroom?

Come home fully.
Your family needs the whole man.

The lie: "My past disqualifies me."

The truth: Your past is the only thing
that qualifies you to lead someone through it.

The scars are the credential.

[Jim Harshaw, Jr. @jimharshaw]

Skip one workout.
Miss one morning.
Let one standard slide.

No big deal, right?

Wrong.

It's not the skipped rep that kills you.
It's the man who learns it's okay to skip.

Every major shift in my life
came from a conversation with someone
further ahead of me.

Not a book. Not a podcast.

A conversation.

Get in the room.
Have the conversation.
Watch what happens.
