The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Today's Message is: "Chill Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 2 March 2022!

Today’s Message is: “Chill Day!” Why Not?


“Leaders are under a lot of stress day in and day out, so they need to learn to take the ‘Chill Pill’ and wind down at the end of each day. Leaders can’t do it all anyway. Your team is watching you and how you handle yourself under pressure. It’s not healthy for a leader to keep going 24/7 without a break. You need to be at your best and remember it's not all about you. It’s about the people you lead and the organization you're in charge of. Just take some time to chill!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Todays topic took me on a rather long journey, to find a link I thought my be a good biblical or spiritual look at chill day. Why not? In light of today’s current events, I considered how we all could ind a way and purpose for finding a way to “Chill.” Folks seem to so up in arms about our security and state of being in this most troubling times, that I belei that they tend to forget that God told us, through the Bible, that these things would come and were necessary because of our sinful nature and God’s promise of a way out.

Chilling is another of those things I have to thank the Air Force for training me to appreciate. Things like mandatory crew rest before flights or after week long alert tours were there for a reason.

Great example Jack of a "Chill Period" my friend. Leaders with exceptional high "Operational Tempos" need to find that time to chill brother. Have a great day and carve out some shill time... I did yesterday after the long drive back and forth to Tucson, AZ
