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 — 29 August 2022!


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


“Why is ambition important to leaders? Ambitious leaders see opportunities that others can’t see or avoid because of the obstacles. Great leaders will put aside their personal ambition to bring out the ambition in the people they lead. There is nothing wrong with ambition in leadership when leaders work toward difficult goals. They constantly develop their skills and transform challenges into new opportunities. Tough missions and lofty goals take hard work and determination. Ambition can help leaders and their teams work together toward a vision and make it a reality. What is your ambition as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. There have been times when my ambition, physically has been weak, but my ambition for spreading the Gospel of Jesus never seems to lack ambition. I have a strong desire to always be willing to share the message however that opportunity ones to me. My highest ambition is to hear God say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” I live in this world but long for my strong and everlasting relationship with Jesus. Have blessed day today and always.
