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


“What is ‘Get Up & Go’ Leadership? It’s when leaders know their purpose, know where they want to go, what their vision is, and they ‘Get Up, They Go, & Get It Done!’ Leaders that have that ‘Get Up & Go’ attitude emulate positivity, energy, enthusiasm, ambition, and determination. Leadership that has that ‘Get Up & Go’ attitude will jump-start new ideas, take risks, and think outside the box to achieve results. Do you have that ‘Get Up & Go’ vitality, drive, and mindset as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have fallen many times in my life, but I got up, brushed off the dirt and continued on. Today, when I fall, I need help to get back up. At first that really bothered me, that I needed help, but I have come to accepting the help, with gratitude. It allows me to continue on. The message is “Get Up, Don’t Give Up! Have a blessed day today and always as you continue to get up!
