The Trail of Tears

The Trail of Tears (formally known as “coupon drag and drop” but it’s been renamed do to all the crying this morning)

PAX plank-dragged their coupons 100 yards down the football field, stopping every 10 yards for rows, curls, high pulls, deadlifts, and standing side bends. At the opposite end zone, PAX turned around and continued back until time was called. A brutal smoker for the back, arms, shoulders, and core!

“We must cultivate our garden.” — Voltaire, Candide

After a lifetime of witnessing suffering, conflict, and the foolishness of mankind, Voltaire arrived at a simple truth: We can’t control everything happening around us, but we can take responsibility for what’s directly in front of us.

It’s easy to focus on everyone else’s problems while neglecting our own.

Challenge: Tend your own garden. Focus on your character, your relationships, your faith, and the things within your control. Take care of what’s been entrusted to you.
