The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Tuesday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" in Castle Rock, CO — 18 June 2019!
I want to apologize to everyone in advance for not responding to some of your awesome responses on RallyPoint. I'm currently 2,830 email notifications behind as of this morning and I'm working to get caught up, so it may be a week or so before you get a response from me.
Today is: "Basic Rules of Life Day!" Why Not?
"We all have developed our own set of rules when it comes to our life and that is okay, but it's always nice to compare rules once in while — read them, understand them, and digest them before you discard them!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Speaks for Itself!

"There are two great rules of life: never tell everything at once." — Ken Venturi
"What others think of you is none of your business." — 7 Rules of Life
"Time heals almost everything, so give it time." — 7 Rules of Life

Good Tuesday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs
There are lots of good rules for life. Any of the ones that guide you to a moral, happy, fulfilling life are excellent ones for you. It's a good idea to consciously think about what rules you follow periodically and see if they still apply and if you are following them

Lt Col Charlie Brown, certainly words to live by. So many people are stagnated by their fear of the unknown. I'd sleep a lot better and know in the end that I at least Tried. Outcomes don't come from still places. they are made from many failed attempts, but the key word you should focus on is "Attempt" You'll never know if you failed or succeeded, if never "Attempt" great share!

I pray that you and I sincerely love our family members, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers as we love ourselves, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Robert Thornton.
LORD YOU taught the disciples to love their neighbors including enemies as a clear demonstration of how we love the LORD God. We can clearly see our neighbors and we cannot see God in HIS glory in this life.
I pray that each clinically depressed, distraught, and forlorn person has hope this evening. LORD I pray that YOU move and enable each of the rescue workers, the phone bank operators, and prayer warriors to offer sincere help with compassion, discernment and wisdom to those who are suicidal, suffering from PTSD and/or grieving.
Pour YOUR love down on each of those who need it most tonight dear Go. I pray for peaceful sleep for each one of my friends and contacts.
I pray LORD that YOU use each of us to bless others – especially those being buffeted by the storms of life. Move each to use our time, talents and treasure to bless whomever YOU designate to us. Give each of us eyes to see past the illusions to the truth of the matter.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Always an interesting journey when thinking about your daily "motivation", COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Thank you for these. Good Tuesday, Sir, and RP Friends.

You're so welcome and I love the fact that it's an interesting journey each morning - I try my best to bring something of value, thought, motivation, and inspiration. The quote you provided was awesome as always Sgt Deborah Cornatzer and of course the one by Ralph Walso Emerson you're favorite! Have a great Tuesday Deborah - it's good to be back in the "Eagle's Nest!"

I really like Kant's thought this morning. Too many people missing one of those.
