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


Good “Thursday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 21 July 2022!


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


“Planning is critical to leadership. It provides the leader with a road map and helps set expectations. People in organizations want to know when they’re starting something and when it needs to be finished. Planning provides that guidance with a course of action that will help people get from point A to point B. In leadership planning can be one of the most important aspects of creating goals, setting directions, and building a team that supports the plan and the results. Planning is a leadership skill that you continuously develop! Planning is a key to success and a proper vision! Are you the leader that plans and follows through?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have plans to get up everyday in time to do my devotionals and response to Col Burroughs Motivational Quotes, but often times I fail at that. When we fail, we should pray for the strength and wisdom to do a much better job, to the Glory of God. Even God had plans when He created the world and the entire universe. If God can plan, then I think we all should consider planning also. Have blessed day today and always as y’all formulate your own plans.

Preaching to the choir with this one today. Spent the last half of my military career and just about all my civilian career planning things. Today's meme had the title 'Staff Action Officer Rule #1' when I was at HQUSCENTCOM and was posted somewhere around my desk from then on.
