The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Monday” Afternoon “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole!” in Conroe, TX — June 22, 2026
"The Colonel’s Compass: Daily Wisdom for Life, Leadership, and Integrity"
Today’s Message is: “Later Day!” Why Not?
"The word ‘later’ is not in the dictionary for leaders Leadership demands responsibility, vision and action now. Never push a critical decision off to a ‘later’ time. You’ll lose people’s trust. Understand that ‘later’ is simply not a leadership quality. Execute right now!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)

“Don’t let anyone save you later. If they keep you on pause, it’s because you were never the priority, just a backup plan they reach for when it’s convenient. Love, effort, and respect don’t come with delays, excuses, or ‘right timing.’ If someone knows your value, they don’t shelf you, circle back, or breadcrumb you into waiting. Choose the people who choose you now, not the ones who keep you in drafts while they explore their options!” — Unknown Author
“Be willing to do what’s hard now to enjoy what’s beautiful later.” — Robin Sharma
