“Reflect on your experiences, deepen your self-awareness and unlock your full potential!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughshttps://www.victoryforveterans.org/post/the-colonel-s-vfv-motivational-inspirational-quotes-message-of-the-day-1254The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!Good “Wednesday & Hump Day” Afternoon “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome to the middle of the week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — September 17, 2025 Today’s Message is: “Self-Awareness Day!” Why Not? “A leader’s self-awareness comes down to knowing and being honest with oneself. Strong leaders understand how to use their strengths, weaknesses, values, emotions, and beliefs when faced with extreme challenges. Are you equipped to make the tough decisions?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message: “Self-awareness gives you the capacity to learn from your mistakes as well as your successes. It enables you to keep growing.” — Lawrence Bossidy “Authenticity requires self-awareness. Self-awareness requires reflection.” — Unknown Author “Strong people have a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness; they don’t need the approval of others.” — Rot T. Bennett “Self-awareness is not self-judgment. It is looking, & seeing, & discovering who you really are. So, check your judgment at the door.” — Unknown Author “Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong , good or bad.”— Debbie Ford “Self-Awareness is a way of life. It is not a fad. It is not a pill. It is not a cream you can apply to the rash on your heart. Self-awareness is like eating, breathing, sleeping. There will be no fireworks, no miracle transformation. Instead, you will experience a slow, conscious, and often painful unraveling of your highest potential. One day, you will see that this is more magical than any so-called magic potion.” — Vironika Tugaleva “Every human has four endowments — self-awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.” — Stephen Covey“Everyone Matters, Talk to Us!" — Army Veteran Mikel BurroughsVictory for Veterans, Inc.
