“How do leaders respond under pressure? Some become angry and controlling. Great leaders stay open to new possibilities, focused, alert, and purpose driven. The real test of character for leaders is how they perform under extreme pressure. They remain calm and step away from negativity, and always have that positive attitude. They’re not afraid to ask for help. Leaders learn through experience to live under pressure and understand they have a choice to think first always, then act. How do you respond under pressure?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. We all have pressures in our lives and the world. How we respond to these pressures reflects the character that we have developed. So do better than others, so what is their secret. I believe that for me, it is my spiritual outlook and reliance on my Loving Creator. I found something that talks about the secret to dealing with life’s pressure. I pray that y’all benefit from it. Have a blessed day today and always.
