Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. Great topic today.
This is my third try at it. The first two disappeared...
The way to change your life is to change your perspective. The way to do that is to change the way you think about things. We teach that in our stress solutions workshops. If you change the way you look at a situation, it changes the way you react to it. It's a simple answer but not always easy to do but it does get easier with practice. Where can you change your view of things today that will make a difference for you going forward?

We all get into ruts and continue on the same road, when we know we need to take a different road to reach our goal. It’s called inertia and it’s hard to overcome it but true happiness demands that we try.Lt Col Charlie Brown

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Great personal thoughts and quotes today Charlie. I'm glad you gave it a third try...have a super day...

“Change in your life can be scary, but whether they are good or bad changes, they will teach you something new. External changes prepare you for the future and give you the courage, wisdom, and experience to push forward. Internal changes will encourage you to never stop. Changes in your life can be big or very small and that leads me to this quote…

‘You’ll find that implementing small changes can have a significant impact on your life. Remember — little hinges swing on big doors.’ — Unknown Author

May you always embrace the changes in your life, so you can experience a positive outlook on all aspects of your life and the people that influence your life; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect that you have near to long term plans and that you have invested time and resources into the future. I hope you are resilient and that you are able to perform well in most situations since you adapt easily in fluid circumstances. No doubt you care deeply for those you are responsible for as well as those who rely on you for advice. People tend to grow more reflective and compassionate or more bitter in response to changes thrust upon them. I pray that you and I are becoming more compassionate and kinder in response to the involuntary changes we have been forced to adapt to. 'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.' [Philippians 4:8-9 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I pray for an increase of the fruit of the Holy Spirit patience and self-control for each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer. LORD, I thank you for guiding each of us day-by-day and hour-by-hour. ‘The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.’ [Psalm 23:1-3 ESV]
When you or your loved ones encounter significant unwelcome changes of fortune, health, employment or freedom, I pray that you take to heart ‘we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose’ [Romans 8:28].
Thank YOU, LORD for sanctification of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters in YOUR perfect sequencing and timing. YOU are perfect and YOU love each of us perfectly. YOU always have our best at heart and YOU change our soul into the perfect reflection of YOUR image. YOU tolerate our foibles and YOU enable us to be attracted to opposites. Sadly behavior, speech, and appearance that attracted us in the first place sometimes repels us. I pray for spiritual maturity for each of us. Enable us to demonstrate love and avoid focusing on changing others into the image we have in mind for them. ‘For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.’ [Jeremiah 29:11-13 ESV]
LORD I pray that YOU do what is necessary to change the minds of elected and appointed officials who are pro-induced abortion, pro-euthanasia, and biased against individuals based on their skin color, birth gender, social standing, and or heritage. I lift POTUS Joe Biden and his wife Jill, VPOTUS Kamala Harris and her husband Douglas Craig Emhoff to YOU and pray that YOU bless them with wisdom which begins with the fear of the LORD and compassion for the pre-born. 'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.' [Psalm 139:13-14a ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Tuesday night and will awoke refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the lightly overcast skies as a low pressure area gradually moves further north and east in the Atlantic Ocean... Heat and humidity are on the doorstep for the next 4-5 days... I am working my IT shift today, so will be more off than on RP until after 1pm... I'll be back... LOL!

Today is: “Change Your Life Day!” Why Not?

There are hundreds if not thousands of changes that are possible, these are the quotes I've selected to illustrate change:

"If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living." - Gail Sheehy

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." - George Bernard Shaw

"The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation." - Robert F. Kennedy

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman

What you do today, you may not be able to tomorrow, and...

“Changes in your life can be very small but have the most powerful and profound impact going forward. Is it time to make a change in your life? — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
