Today’s Message is: “Define Day!” Why Not?
“The character and integrity of a leader outside the presence of people define what makes a good leader. What they do in private will define what actions they reveal when everyone is watching. Your vision, values and actions will define you as a leader. How do you define your leadership?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)

“Others do not define you — you define yourself through your words and actions!” — Karen Handel
“Your past is not a life sentence. It doesn’t define who you are today. So keep the wisdom, remember the lessons, and leave the rest. Don’t stay stuck. Keep going!.” — Unknown Author
“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig
