The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Tuesday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors, & Patriots!” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Long Island City, NY — April 7, 2026
Today’s Message is: “Turn Out Day!” Why Not?
“True leaders don’t just succeed; they turn out a legacy of great leaders to follow in their path through discipline and mentorship. If you inspire people, then you’re ensuring the next generation of leaders will turn out stronger than the one that led them — You!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:
“Sometimes our toughest challenges turn out to be our greatest blessings!” — Billy Cox
“Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than you imagined!” — Unknown Author
“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the ways things turn out.” — John Wooden
“Staying positive does not mean that things will turn out okay. Rather it is knowing that you will be okay no matter how things turn out.” — Unknown Author
“Life can still be beautiful, meaningful, fun, and fulfilling even if things don’t turn out the way you planned.” — Lori Deschene
“The practice of staying present will heal you. Obsessing about how the future will turn out creates anxiety. Replaying broken scenarios from the past causes anger or sadness. Stay here, in the moment.” — Sylvester McNutt III
“An important decision I made was to resist playing the blame game. The day I realized that I am in charge of how I will approach problems in my life, that things will turn out better or worse because of me and nobody else, that was the day I knew I would be a happier and healthier person. And that was the day I knew I could truly build a life that matters.” — Steve Goodier
