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


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

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


Good “Monday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 22 August 2022!


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


“When it comes to leadership, the word ‘try’ can have two meanings. On one hand leaders will constantly try something new and on the other hand they should try not to go overboard on projects. Great leaders should always try to be clear in their communications and never try to have the last word. If a leader is going to try something new or try to create a new process, then leaders need to try and make others take ownership of the new process or idea. If you try to lead your team and organization toward something new the leader has to go first, show the way, and empower your team. The result will produce amazing things. People will try harder to get on board and make that something new a success. Make sure you understand what to try and what not to try as a leader!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. It can well be said that we are living in trying times. With all of the false info coming from the media, it is wise for us to try to decipher what is truth or falsehood. But the biggest thing that we humans, who are spiritual beings need to do is to try the Spirits, so we are not led down the path of destruction. With that in mind, I would like to submit the below link for your consideration. Have a blessed today and always, as you live in trying times.

One should never give up trying new things but always remember to include those who will be affected by what you're trying to do in your planning.
