Your post reminds me of another leader who was called to serve his country: John Adams. The limited series about his life, patriotism, and impact on our nation is worth watching repeatedly. Perhaps this July 4, I will again. Thanks for the timeless and timely posts, Scott. You, sir, embody leadership.
An excellent series, and you're absolutely right, Paul - John Adams was a great, if underappreciated leader. He had quite the high opinion of himself, but served his country and returned to farming afterward. And his letters provide so much more insight into the kind of man he was.
You're right about his opinion of himself. If the series was true, his wife kept him humble a bit. But isn't that their job? To rein us in when we get all high and mighty? Ha, ha.
