The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
“What Day is it?”
Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 29 June 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Mold Day!” Why Not?
“What are the attributes which help mold our great leaders? First: Great leaders always provide purpose and vision! They speak, write, and listen with pronounced communication skills that motivate, instruct, and discipline their people. Second: Strength comes from their character, ethics, and integrity, while trust and respect are earned and not given. The mold of a great and successful leader includes working together with your team and organization toward greatness, and then yielding credit to them, not yourself! Every choice a great leader makes helps mold those they lead. How will you mold yourself into a successful leader!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Wednesday evening Colonel
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. While I am no longer in the military or Police role, I still am trying to mold myself. It is so important to me to everyday mold myself into the likeness of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that I can never be perfect but I am constantly encouraged in the Bible to reflect the image of Christ, so that others may see and come to know Him, through me. I know that nobody can perfectly be like Jesus, but we have been bought by the shed blood of Jesus, and therefore can now be seen by the Father to be guiltless, and we…
I've found that I prefer to be around those whom they broke the mold for after they were created.
