Good morning Col Burroughs. I love Your quote! Great stuff today. True leadership is not about ego or things; it is about spirit and inspiration. Be the kind of person who inspires others by your words and actions and who doesn't try to impress by what they have or how they look. The world is full of strutting peacocks; we need more eagles who are willing to show others how to soar.

03 IMPRESS THEM Deut 6;4 7 with lyrics
Seeds Family Worship: The Word of God
I expect that the LORD has blessed you with a measure of humility and that you are spiritually mature enough to receive complements with grace and to complement those who provide service to you and those you love including family and friends. I hope that you and I are devoid of impulses to impress or to seek to be impressed by flattery. 'Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.' [Philippians 2:3-4 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown
I hope and pray that you and I are alert to the Holy Spirit and HIS prompting as we listen or watch people attempting to fool us into believing their errors in judgement, deceptions and/or evil intentions. I pray for an increase of wisdom and discernment for each of us. ‘And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. [2 Corinthians 12-15 ESV]
I pray for an increase of justice, compassion and good will throughout the land of the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Germany. Russia, Turkey, India, South Korea, China, North Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. I pray that YOU motivate elected officials and appointed officials to become more respectful of opponents and more honest.
I lift the journalists, editors, and others involved in publishing and broadcasting ‘news’ and opinion to appear as fact because they believe they impress people by their power of influence. I pray for an increase of discernment and wisdom for the viewers and readers. I pray that many will contact these news outlets and let them know about errors and biased reporting/opinions. ['A rebuke impresses a discerning person more than a hundred lashes a fool.' Proverbs 17:10 NIV]
I pray that you and your family members are healthy in body, mind and soul.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day November 18, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of December. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have some time on my break to respond my friend.

Exactly SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Thanks my friend and have a great Wednesday...
“Provide the right impression of who you are through your actions on a daily basis. May you be here each day to provide guidance, support, motivation, and inspiration to all who seek it; not to impress anyone with who you are or material things you may possess, but to impact their lives. As leaders were not here to impress, but to invest in our leadership in our people and the organization. May you always have a positive attitude toward others and for life — that will be a great impression on all; may your mind, body, and soul be open to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful life; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Materialistic things and egos don’t impress me or others… Your Soul does.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
