The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Monday & Halloween Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of October and beginning of a new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 31 October 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Taking Chances or Take Chances Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders are the ones that go first when they lead by example. They go because they take the chance or risk before others do. They lead from the front and they choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe, confident, and committed to the vision and the mission. Are you willing to be first, take calculated chances, and lead by example?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I had a 3 Point buck 8 yrds away and slightly below me on Monday, he popped out on the logging trail so quickly I never had a chance to get the bow out of the hanger. Wednesday I took a shot at a doe between 30-40 yrds, I missed but don’t know if my ranging was off, if I shot low or high or if she jumped the string. Saturday, as I peaked out around my tree, a deer fought my movement and bolted. At least I am seeing them, now to actually get one. I have never taken a deer with a bow, only with rifle and shotgun.
No guts on glory comes to mind, but it's a true leader that knows what chances to take and what ones to let pass.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Make a difference and take a chance because you may never know who may be considering suicide. Your taking a chance may be the catalyst that is needed for someone who is suffering an invisible injury, to make a better decision for themselves. If you don’t take a chance then you will probably never know. God has given me a second chance at life. Be that person who takes chances and helps others in need. Have a blessed day today and always.
