Today might just be James’s best day on earth. Ever! It’s day-1 of the Marine Corps Martial Arts program. For this little boy who unfailingly introduced himself, “Hi my name ith Jameth, wanna wrethle?”, I suspect this is the day he was made for. I think of the description in this fabulous article (https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/mcmap-explained/) that says that MCMAP teaches you hand-to-hand combat without a weapon – you are the weapon!

The best friend, blackbelt CS Moss, is folding James’s clothes while James is wearing them.

Do you realize you don’t have to be in the military to be a weapon? To be effective and transformative, you must weaponize you!

In what ways are you a weapon? What are you a weapon against? What should you be a weapon against? How could you advance your skills or sharpen you as a weapon? This exercise could help you figure out what you were made for! Make today your MCMAP day.
