Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Yesterday certainly was a challenging day with lots of catching up to do for me. I missed the whole weekend and the mail is stacked to the rafters both virtual and paper versions.
Determination is one of the requirements for making things happen. Lots of people have ideas but often that is where it ends. They lack what it takes to make those ideas into reality. The will or determination is one piece and willingness to work hard is the other. Without those two, you might as well stay in bed.
What is important enough to you for you to be determined to achieve it or see it come to fruition?

Yep, you can't buy it and it just doesn't magically appear. You have to work to make dreams come true.

I believe you know how determined I am Charlie! The question is can the rest of the team keep up with my determination, if you know what I mean? You and Tom have a great Tuesday afternoon and I hope you get caught up on all the email and stuff you have to do today. Thanks for the great quote Charlie!

I pray that you and I are determined to persevere with applied wisdom, compassion and selflessness through all that life has to offer, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD I am beyond thankful that before time began YOU determined to elect me as YOUR adopted son. I am grateful, as I expect each of my brothers and sisters-in-Christ are, that YOU set boundaries around us before we recognized our need for YOU. YOU have allowed us each to have unique life experiences to bless others based on what we have learned before and after relationship with YOU.
I pray LORD that YOU enable each of us to both guide and learn from each of those we love and/or are responsible for. Empower us to help others determine their next steps in life and their life paths. I pray that we encourage others significantly more often than we chastise them. Help us to chastise in private and praise in public and enable us to do so in love.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

What can overcome every obstacle? Every mistake? Every failure? Determination. That is the message of the book I have recommended several times: Rhinoceros Success. Put your head down and charge! (Just like a rhinoceros) It may not be pretty, but you can lick your wounds later...

That sounds like me CPT Jack Durish I do check every once in while to make sure that I've not run anyone over special, if you know what I mean. Have a great Tuesday afternoon. Did you your move into the new place go smooth or are you still living out of boxes?
