For Whom The Kettlebell Tolls

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the (kettle)bell tolls,
It tolls for thee. — John Donne

Let that sink in a little — what does that mean in your life?
YHC has seen how that plays out in the F3 world — guys helping other guys pull through physical challenges, racing back to pick up the 6 to let him know that he is not on his own, lifting a brother up in prayer when cancer has crept into a loved one’s life.

How does this play out in our daily life?  Will we be at the ready whenever some situation calls for something extraordinary from us?  Are we ready to sacrifice our time, our resources for someone we might  not even know? Are we willing to stick our necks out, lay it on the line, damn the torpedos and full speed ahead for people in this world that need a spark of light, a glimmer of hope?  It all starts when we turn away from the usual, the expected, the everyday and towards the unique, the unexpected, the original.  Every one of us has what it takes to be that change in someone else’s life.  Be there.  Keep your antenna up and your phone down.  Look around.  Act boldly.  Be that guy today!

Thanks for letting YHC get a little deep!
Blessings,
