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


Good “Thursday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the start of a new month from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 1 September 2022!


Today’s Message is: “Twists and Turns Day!” Why Not?


“There will always be many twists and turns on the road to great leadership! For many, leadership can have twisting roads of awesome adventure and for some bad turns that end in failure. Through these twists and turns leaders learn to become better at leading. There will be times that they can barely see what is ahead of them and times they can see the path clear as day. No matter what twists and turns leaders experience they need to be authentic, open, and be who they are. They let others know they care and they will navigate the twists and turns to keep them on the path to success. Can you handle the twists and turns of leadership?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Thursday evening Colonel. This day had twists and turns, thus my tardiness.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. As always, I try to look at these motivational quotes from a biblical perspective. It is with that in mind, you may understand why I was drawn so, to the below article. Believe it or not, it does talk about the twists and turns of a Pastors life. Have a blessed day today and always as y’all take on the twists and turns in your lives.

Leaders are human, not God's, and must navigate the twists and turns that life throws their way. Some of the worst leaders I've ever encountered fail to grasp that concept.

There are a lot of leaders out there that have failed to grasp the concept of handling the twists and turns of leadership. They will always be there and it's how a leader handles themselve that makes a difference! You have a super day Jack!
