COT: last weekend, we celebrated the declaration of independence and by extension the founders of the United States. The founders remind us that we can look back in history and find people to emulate. If we find a historical figure like us, in our similar circumstances, it gives us an example of someone who can excel in the way that we are called to do. If we find a historical figure unlike us, it shows us that we can share qualities of excellence even with people very different from us. So find someone to emulate and live excellence.

COT: “Since this is the last speech that I will give as President, I think it’s fitting to leave one final thought, an observation about a country which I love. It was stated best in a letter I received not long ago. A man wrote me and said: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.” – Ronald Reagan (January 19, 1989)

COT:
We talked about “The Fun Scale” (attached below) and what the three different types of fun are and what we can get from them. – Life is full of different kinds of adventures, challenges, experiences, etc. – Some moments are joyful from start to finish,
– Some are difficult but become the memories that shape us
– And a few simply teach us what to avoid next time.
– Don’t shy away from challenges just because they may be uncomfortable or hard, many of life’s most meaningful experiences are that Type II fun, where it may be rough early on, but in the long run, you’ll look back fondly on it
– Live for the experiences you’ll one day look back on with gratitude, not just the ones that are easy today.
