Good morning, Mikel! I enjoyed these quotes on creativity. How do we we become creative? George Bernard Shaw seemed to show us how. It all starts with imagination.
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”
Have a great day all.

SGT David Reynolds, thank you so much for your George Bernard Shaw, quote as it reminded me that we are only limited by our imagination, and it is that imagination which gives us a direction to put our resources into their proper perspective as they relate to our imagination.
Have a wonderful day and a very Merry Christmas, to all. COL Mikel Burroughs LTC Stephen F. SFC Joe S. Davis Jr, MSM, DSL Lt Col Joh Christensen SPC Woody Bullard SGT David A.

Have a creative Christmas season, my friend and brother-in-Christ SGT (Join to see).
Heavenly Father, I thank you for creativity, passion and inspiration. YOU are the author of all creation and YOU inspire and empower individuals to create greatness in art, science, literature, music and all other disciplines.
I pray that YOU motivate and empower each of YOU adopted sons and daughters to be creative in love, compassion, mercy and kindness throughout this season. Help us each to see YOU in others we come across and to treat each and every person with respect.
I pray for travel mercy and grace for those traveling this Christmas season. Protect us from accidents and our own failings as we sojourn. I pray for peace and joy in vehicles as families travel to visit loved ones.
In the power and authority of the Name above all Names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL. Another "Every Day is" quote......That's how it is for me anyway.....
"Creativity Day!" Every day is creativity day for me as a boat and car restorer, every day involves some kind of creativity, you should have seen some....Scary!!! But we made it...Nothing like laying on your back under a 4500 # boat buffing the bottom from a foot in front of your face held up by wide seat belts So to speak!!!! Like I said, creative!.....
I like a few of them today:
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." ― Henry Thomas Buckle
No question about this one, you have a 50% chance of failure right out of the box
"Creativity takes courage." ― Henri Matisse
Ideas beget ideas...!
"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." ― Maya Angelou
Yup...!
"Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent, with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play." ― Henri Matisse
Keep trying til you get it right....
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun." ― Mary Lou Coo
This was a good one today COL Mikel J. Burroughs, Makes us think about our creative side...
Have an awesome Sunday With Bella and Your Mom, good mornings all around please.
I have decided to take the day mostly off today....! How about that!
Have a good one....

COL Mikel J. Burroughs "Creativity Day" Why? Because for the military, it is a lifeline.
Over the 8 years I spent in beloved service to our country, I frequently heard numerous Sayings, Motto's and Acronyms. One I heard often was " Improvise, Adapt and Overcome."-- be creative troop.
We lived it and lived it well, it is one of the many things I brought to the civilian world is this mentality to my home, work and community. I know, once a soldier, always a soldier ( Marine, Sailor, Airmen or Coastie).
During this time of year, let us put our talents, gifts and abilities to full use for our fellow veterans, our youth and our community.
Merry Christmas Rally Point Nation.
