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


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

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


Good “Sunday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the weekend from the “Eagle’s Nest” in The Woodlands, TX — 12 December 2021!


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


“What to know before becoming a leader — It’s all about people first, not you. If you’re not communicating enough, you’re not leading. Inspire others about the importance of believing in themselves. Know that everyone wants to be successful, and you must recognize them when appropriate. Be able to bend before you break and remember leadership comes before management! — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Yea, that is crap - I guess there are all types (not mentioning any names) around this country that need to be shipped off to place where their freedom of speech will put them in jail.... Love your quote - back to the subject Jack! Sorry!

Thank you Mikel. Linda made a trip to Jonesboro today while I tried to take a nap, after not sleeping much last night because of pain issues. Same stuff, different day. But I do thank God for the mercies he has given me. Many blessings Brother.

Good morning, Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I would like to say that before we start each day, that we take the time to ask God to give us an additional helping of his Spirit, to guide us and set us on a course to think before we undertake any conversation or any action so as to bring glory to God. Help us to be mindful that the world isn't just about us. May we show am attitude of service and love to others. May God bless us all today and always.
