“What day is it?”
Today’s Message is: “Wings Day!” Why Not?
“When do leaders soar like eagles? When they are tenacious, when they are ready to reach new heights, when they are growing the people in the organization, and they are nurturing the next eagle leader in line to take their place. When leaders spread their wings and soar, they are resilient and can face challenges, they can fly and go further and longer, and they can reach higher altitudes and achieve with less energy. Put on your wings, like those of an eagle, they are a symbol of bravery, courage, honor, and determination!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. This is an interesting topic today. The wings of an Eagle has been used for a number of things relating to strength and majesty in different situation. Of course Colonel Burroughs is correct in his introduction and the relationship of Leaders being like Eagles. His description can also be found in the scriptures in being like Eagles in leadership. That being said, I found a great link, about that, below. Have a blessed day today and always.

We always used go say it's hard to soar like an eagle when you fly with turkeys when I was a flier. A good leader also knows how to pick and train his team.
