There is far, far more that unites us than separates us. When we look for our shared purposes, common identify, we will find it. The differences that divide us are often superficial: titles, appearance. Often the things that unite us are the things inside: feelings, fears, our humanity. F3 brings together men, all men: men of any or no spiritual tradition. Men who have their own fantastic 1stF, men who had no 1stF until they found F3. We find so much journey purpose. As we bring those firesticks together, we burn brighter. All for male community leadership.
Spur: Knowing that every man is your brother, knowing there is something inside him that will resonate with you, I challenge you to look for it, to give lesser priority to the superficial differences. Perhaps a spouse, a child, that you are struggling to connect with. Don’t ignore the difference or pretend it doesn’t exist, but focus on common purpose, and let them know that’s what you’re trying to do. Be patient. The mindset that is successful in the beatdown, that mindset can, if you choose to, bring about great results in your relationships. Will you do it?
