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


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

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


Let’s “Remember Everyone Deployed” today and every day until they return home once again safely!”


Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of another week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 7 October 2022!


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


“Effective leaders know how to transform a negative situation into a positive outcome. Leaders take negative energy and use it as a self-motivator to serve others in a more positive way? They don’t blow up when there is a negative situation or challenge; leaders speak up. Great leaders ask themselves key questions! Why is it not working? What do I need to stop, start or change? What can I do differently? Who might be able to help? Are you a leader that can transform negative challenges and energy into positive inspiration and action?” —COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I have to agree with your assessment Gene. Maybe we need to hit rock bottome before people wake up and demand and go after a change... Those days could be our darketst my friend. You and Linda have a great day and I hope you're getting stronger my friend.

I thought that you may Mikel. I hope to not be here during those darkest days. FYI, I went for another ultrasound this morning. I hope this finds the solution to my pain issues. I am still easily exhausted but I do feel better. May you be blessed as well.

Today topic really got me thinking. Have to say that those leaders I've run into that I classify as poor really weren't able to make that transformation when things didn't go as expected.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I personally believe that our nation is heading down the toilet, if we don’t do something to change its direction. I believe that situation to be turning to the God of the Holy Bible. When we forget who our unalienable rights have come from, we will lose all those rights. Wake up America and turn to The Lord in forgiveness. Have a blessed day today and always.
