Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. God created you to like no one else. There is something you can do if you don’t like who you are, try to be like Jesus Christ. Live for and serve us, even sacrificially. Have a blessed day today and always.

Seems like the world today is full of people trying to make you like someone else......it's a multi-million dollar industry. I'll bet there is some motivational presentation going on within 100 miles of where you live right now. I never quite bought into all that despite attending numerous classes or conferences aimed at doing that in both my careers. Call me stubborn or crazy, but I am who I am. Can I change, sure, but because I want to, not because someone thinks I should.
