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


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

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” in The Woodlands, TX — 18 June 2022!


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


“Just how important is it for leaders to have the freedom to lead? Every great leader stands on their own with the ability to make tough choices and decisive timely decisions! They create their unique vision and purpose from what they have learned from other great leaders! Freedom and choice are essential components to becoming an effective great leader, which frees them from overusing ‘control’ and ‘manipulation’! That means not ‘controlling’ their people, but instead ‘motivating' and ‘inspiring’ them. Using this method, strengthens a leader on how to use their freedom to make the right decisions and choices effectively! Are you ready to lead and sacrifice for the freedom of choice and for your team?”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Freedom is a very sacred blessing. We are fortunate enough to have many freedoms tht are protected by our Constitution, but I would like to point y’all to a freedom that many take for granted. It is outlined in the link below. It is a bit lengthy but so good to read . Have A Blessed day today and always.

What bothers me these days is that too many define freedom as what they want rather than what society needs.
