Good “Monday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 16 May 2022!


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


“Why is purpose so important in leadership? It’s who you are as a leader. It spells out what your values in life are, who you are as a human being, and all of the unique leadership and personal qualities you bring to the organization and the people within. Purpose provides the road map for everyone to follow, to work together, and reach down deep within to accomplish the mission. When people understand, live, and breathe the purpose, they can overcome the obstacles and adversity and keep the vision on track. Have you defined your purpose?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Purpose can change at a moments notice but whatever one does should have purpose behind it.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I will deviate slightly today, on my approach to today’s topic. I have found a link that talks about purpose from a Spiritual point of view, but not specifically to a particular religious affiliation. I pray that y’all will enjoy and receive a blessing from reading it. Have a blessed day today and always, as you pursue your purpose in life.

What is Spiritual Purpose?

Finding a spiritual purpose is not so much about finding the meaning of life, but rather about becoming your best self as you move through life. You can find your higher purpose in life through many different pathways, including meditation…
