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


Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 22 March 2022!


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


“What is leadership responsibility? It is a leader’s desire to work hard and achieve results regardless of obstacles they may face. When a leader takes responsibility, it’s not about power or ego, it’s about finishing and following through on their purpose, mission, and vision. Leadership responsibility will build strong relationships, build trust, and make you a leader that people can count on. Make responsibility an everyday occurrence and lead from the front!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I guess I have to take responsibility for my iPad losing everything I have ready to post. So irritating, but I push on forward.LOL. As I grew in relationship with my Creator God I began to realize that I must take responsibility for myself and for those who may serve under me. I learned that if I were to take responsibility for the mistakes of my crew and handing out praise to them for a job well done, it began to foster a sense of pride and unity for the group. This then showed them how to be responsible and grow, as well. In accepting responsibility…

Yes my friend, it is time to get a new laptop or take it to Best Buy and have the computer geeks work on it, clean it up, and get it running at 100%. - Just a thought...

Far too many shirk responsibility for anything. If you are a leader the old adage 'the buck stops here' applies even if you personally had nothing to do with what may, or may not, have happened because of actions of those under your leadership.
