The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the weekend from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” on the road in Denver, CO — 28 May 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Rise Up Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders rise up when faced with a failure by taking a deep breath, they pause for a moment, or they even walk away and then come back later to reconstruct what happened and analyze all aspects of the failed objective, decision, or concept. They stay focused and calm and take a bad situation and turn it into a better one, as well as learning through school of hard knocks. Will you rise up when something you’ve worked for has failed?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Saturday morning Colonel.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. An interesting topic this day. I was surprised, while I was searching today, at how many times the term “Rise Up” in the Bible. We not only short change ourselves when we fail to rise up after we fall, but I believe that we disappoint and sadden our Creator God. We were created in the image of God and therefore we should not even begin to think of not getting back up when we fall.
Today I take a slightly different approach and offer y’all a short 2 Min and 48 second video. I hope that y’all open it up and enjoy. Have a blessed day…
If as a leader you can't adjust and rise up to the situation you may be in the wrong occupation.
