COT- Golden nuggets for the day!

  • “What you are is your Gift from God, what you become is your gift to God”. You can always be better with Fairness, Decency, Manners, and Respect. Being accountable and dependable are everything!!
  • Not to have control over the senses is like sailing a rudderless ship, bound to break in pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock” More and more people in our society need to learn to “Act” vs “React”. Be the positive example with your families, work and the community.
  • Notes-@Rikers- Faith is also “Being part of something Bigger than yourself”. Spoke about growth and opening new AOs and QIC training next Tuesday 12th. @Microchip reminded everyone to add their Burpees.

Observations: Good hustle by everyone on this. We only got in 1 or 2 burpees each round, which means we were all putting in good sprints.

COT: Absolute freedom is a curse in disguise. Some seek freedom from obligations and responsibilities only to find their lives empty and worthless. True freedom comes from becoming more obligated and responsible—things that actually take away from our free time. “Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.” —Paulo Coelho
