Quote for November concept:

I’m not the strongest. I’m not the fastest. But I’m really good at suffering.” – Amelia Boone

  • Amelia Boone has been called the Michael Jordan of obstacle course racing (OCR).

Why suffer?

Per the Q Source, “the Virtuous Leader intentionally exposes himself to expected Hardships in order to build the Durability he will need to overcome the unexpected Hardships that await him so that he can turn them into grace.”

COURAGE (Q3.12) – F3 Nation

This is why we “Embrace the Suck” in the Gloom gents, so we can “Set Aside Fear To Turn Hardship Into Grace”!
