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 — 6 August 2022!


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


“Where does good leadership start? It starts with what leaders believe in and what they stand for. Good leaders will lead based on their values, not someone else’s. There can be no disconnect between what a leader says and what they do. Good leaders will always lead with their character and values providing the guide. They will help others do better and get somewhere they couldn’t or wouldn’t get on their own. The foundation of every leader starts with trust. People will follow leaders they trust and leaders that trust themselves by doing what is right. If you want to start good leadership then start by leading with your own true character and integrity. Where does your good leadership start?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Since I truly believe that the source of all good comes from our Creator God, I am approaching this Motivational Quote from that perspective. God made everything good and wants to share that with us. That encompasses everything that we are or do. Humankind wanted to know as much as their Creator and thusly disobeyed the one rule/prohibition that God set before them in the garden. As we know the temptation was so great that they believed the lie of Satan.

Stand for what you know is right, in your heart. Others will see this and wish to emulate. This is the start of a good…
