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

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 — 12 November 2022!


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


“My thoughts on leadership! Leadership is about a commitment to anything bigger than yourself. It’s about having mutual respect for yourself and those you lead. Leaders have to be approachable, willing to listen and learn, yet be transparent, so people understand their values, and know that they can make mistakes just like anyone else. Leadership is about critical thinking and developing a work-life balance. Have you thought about what leadership means to you?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I really like the first one Robert. I never knew a positive person that thought negatively all the time. Blessings.

Positive thoughts will get you out of any situation and might even keep you from getting into the bad ones.
