My Family of Origin Mottos

For part of an assignment we had to state what we thought our family motto was. For those of you who don't know, a family motto is something that helps the family focus on ideologies, it's a statement of belief, it is what families fall back on to help them out during crisis. 

One specific family motto didn't come to my mind. I feel our family spans many areas. I of course love to hear my families wide range of answers and reactions with things like this so I decided to text my family and ask them what they thought our family motto was. Just like with the car advice, I began to see some personality creep through each text.

Brittany: "Good, better, best, never let it rest until your good is your better and your better is your best!" 
- My sister really does try her hardest to do what is best; and might I add she is succeeding wonderfully. :)

Mom: "If you leave our home hungry it is your own fault"
- My mom has really learned what it means to sacrifice for other people. One of the main ways my mother shows this is by opening up her home and inviting people to come in and eat and so she can share her love.

RaVell: "I Quit!"
- This is Sam's favorite because it made him laugh; but, as RaVell taught me, us Lott's are all quitters... anything we start out to do we will all quit eventually. The key is to just quit doing bad. Like quit getting bad grades.

Zac: "Vi veri vniversum vivus vici"
- I had to google this one and I found out that it means: By the power of truth, I while living have conquered the universe. After a moment thinking about this I realized that there is a lot of wisdom in this. Our family needs truth, we run on truth. And because of the truth that we have received we have "conquered the universe" and have overcome so many things.  

Syd: "Marry up :-)"
- It's the most important decision we make!

Camille: ____
It took me awhile to get something out of her but she said her and Justin's is: "Pain is only temporary but VICTORY is forever"
- Cami is definitely good at seeing her goal and going for it-- nothing is going to stop her from reaching it!!
