Today’s Message is: “Calmness Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders use calmness as a strength When they’re calm it projects confidence, inspires trust, and extinguishes chaos at its very core. Calmness under extreme distress and uncertainty can be a force multiplier. Are you leading with poise and calmness?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:
“Calmness is the cradle of Power.” — Josiah Holland
“Wake up with calmness in your heart and purpose in our mind.” — Unknown Author
“Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.” — Dalai Lama
“Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom...” — James Allen
“The truth within you offers the opportunity to choose calmness when you are stressed, and unity when you have separated yourself from others. It reminds you that light is available even when you perceive it’s too dark to see.”— James Blanchard

“There is a calmness to life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” — Ralph H. Blum
“Everyone Matters, Talk to Us!" — Army Veteran Mikel Burroughs
