The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Sunday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" in Castle Rock, CO — 3 February 2019!
Today is: "Stoic Day!" Why Not?
"Be a stoic, keep calm, and maintain a rational mind no matter what your faced with in life; keep your focus and control; don't get caught up in worry, grief, anxiety, fear, and negative emotions, because there are things you can't control." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "A Stoic is someone who transforms fear into prudence, pain into transformation, mistakes into initiation, and desire into undertaking." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be, be one." — Marcus Aurelius
"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook." — William James
"Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them." — Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?" — Rumi
"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." — Lao Tzu
"The limit is not the sky. The limit is the mind." — Wim Hof
"You amplify everything you react to." — The Stoic Emperor

Good morning from the snowy and windy Electric City COL Mikel J. Burroughs where it is currently -6 with a real feel of -24. I hope it is a peaceful and uneventful day. I will be pulling the grills up to cook on later in the day prior to the big game! I wish you a terrific Sunday down in the Eagle's Nest!

PO1 H Gene Lawrence No interest in either team, but will watch, simply because I've never missed one! And that includes having an aircraft experience maintenance issues enroute to Vietnam.

LTC Stephen F.
I pray that you rejoice in your salvation, my friend and brother-in-Christ TSgt Joe C. and sister-in-Christ Christine C Cullinan.
Heavenly Father, YOUR Word is pure and transcends time, languages and dialects as YOU plant in the heart of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters.
Mankind is not as reliable and words change meanings over time.
LORD I pray that You bless each of YOUR own reading this with wisdom and discernment to separate the pure wheat of truth from the chaff of those who are focused on confusing and drawing away from truth.
Help us dear God to be trustworthy and honorable. Enable us to encourage and provide hope in this season to any all who need a human touch.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on February 3, 2019 this Sunday morning with the snow capped mountain in view.
Todays theme is "Stoic Day!" Control what you can within your reasoning!
The picture depicts my inner thoughts!
