The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
“Happy Hump Day!”
Good “Wednesday & Hump Day” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, Warriors & Patriots!” Welcome to the middle of the week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole!” in Conroe, TX — August 5, 2026
"The Colonel’s Compass: Daily Wisdom for Life, Leadership, and Integrity"
Today’s Message is: “Finding Day!” Why Not?
“Finding that perfect battle rhythm means uncovering the diamond in the rough within your team. When a leader combines raw potential with a shared vision, it sparks the passion in everyone. Great leaders ignite victory. Are you finding that force multiplier?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:
“The secret to life is finding joy in ordinary things.” — Ruth Reichl
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” — George Bernard Shaw
“Finding yourself is a lifelong journey of discovery. The horizon of self is always moving and keeps you engaged in the pursuit. It is evolution by design.” — LeAura Alderson
“Finding yourself is not really how it works. You aren’t a ten dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. Finding yourself is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering of who you were before the world got its hands on you.” — Emily McDowell
“Finding the right words at the right moment is action.” — Hannah Arendt
“Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them.” — Thomas Kinkade
“Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.” — Sun Tzu

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 Conroe, TX — August 4, 2026
"The Colonel’s Compass: Daily Wisdom for Life, Leadership, and Integrity"
Today’s Message is: “Stories Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders write their own stories through their actions, purpose and unwavering integrity. Your choices today prepare the manuscript for tomorrow’s victories. Are you ready to write your stories as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:
“Remember that you are more than skin and bones. You are one thousand stories of before. One thousand stories of potential. One thousand stories you’ve yet to see and know and feel and breathe. There’s more to come. And it’s something beautiful.” — Victoria Erickson
“Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can’t remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.” — Tim O’Brien
“It’s difficult to attract new and better things into your life if you keep hanging onto stories that no longer serve you. When we do that, it’s like we’re putting up a barrier between us and what we really want. Release and allow yourself to fully receive the goodness that is coming your way now.” — Rebekah Stephenson
“Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.” — Unknown Author
“We are defined by the stories we tell ourselves.” — Tony Robbins
“Everyone has untold stories of pain and sadness that make them love and live a little differently than you do. Stop judging! Instead, try to understand.” — Unknown Author
“The stories we tell literally make the world. If you want to change the world, you need to change your story.” — Michael Margolis
