The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Thursday" Morning All from the "Eagle's Nest" ― September 13, 2018!
Today is: "Focus Day!" Why Not?
"With so many distractions in the world you need to remain laser focused on the task and goals immediately in front of you. Tomorrow will always come and so will the next day, don't get distracted by meaningless nothings!" ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Don't think about what can happen in a month. Don't think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be." ― Eric Thomas
"Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days." ― Zig Ziglar
"Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Focus on your character, not your reputation.
Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes." ― Roy T. Bennett
"Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed." ― Paulo Coelho
"To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles."
― T.F. Hodge
"Temperamentally anxious people can have a hard time staying motivated, period, because their intense focus on their worries distracts them from their goals." ― Winifred Gallagher
"It's as if when I open myself up to every perception, things create their own focus." ― Kristin Cashore

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Good thoughts for today.
It is so easy to be sidetracked by a million and one small things. If something needs to be done it is worth the time, energy and effort to FOCUS on it until successful. I got a life lesson in this with PT and now I am done and ready to move on to the next project. What needs your focus today?

Good Morning COL. "Focus Day".....Every day is Focus Day!
We can both agree Zig got it wrong....There are definitely not enough hours in a day nor days in a week to accomplish all we want!
All are good quotes but none truly hit how I feel so here goes:
"Focus on the endgame and how to get there. Do at least one thing every day to bring you closer to your endgame.......It is like walking. Put one foot in front of the other and eventually you will arrive at your destination"
That's how I roll anyways.....
Have a fantastic Thursday COL Mikel J. Burroughs, of course good morning to the betters, Stevie still hasn't called....The phones must not be working in Cali.

SGT Tomas "Huey" Husted
Thanks for the quote Alan if you don't mind I will take it literally. I had a pretty bad accident exactly one month ago. Broke my tibia my fibula and shattered my ankle. Come the 19th I finally will have surgery to repair what can be repaired. I had to give my surgeon permission today to fuse my ankle to my fibula and tibia if all else fails. I do have an endgame to focus on and it consists of putting one foot in front of the other. Come hell or high water that's what I'll do. And in less than the year the Doc says it'll take. I will Focus on the endgame. Thanks.
