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


“There are ingredients in every leader’s style of leading. How have you shaped your leadership style? Is it visionary leadership, identity, and motivation that has shaped how you lead? You’ve been given innate power to shape your leadership and shape every day as a leader. Communicate clearly, don’t care about being popular, build relationships, and respect others. As a leader, are you meaning maker?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I believe that we can shape our lives in several ways. I would like to look at how we can shape our lives by reading, and studying the Word of God. It can be the most important thing you do to shape a positive and well rounded mindset, to be the best leader one could be. Have a blessed day today and always.
