Good Saturday morning Burroughs' Posse Leader from the Greater Boston Area... Excellent topic & a great quote to begin our Saturday...
“Balance Day!” Why Not?
MY QUOTE ON BALANCE:
It is not enough to have balance in one area of life. One must strive to have balance in everything He or She embarks on in life. Without balance, one is subject to a life of ever progressing chaos." Kerry F. Harkins November 28, 2020
1) "It's okay to take time for yourself. We give so much of ourselves to others and we need to be fueled both physically and mentally. If we are in balance, it helps us in all our interactions." - Faith Hill
2) "The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner." - Gordon B. Hinckley
3) "Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle." - Helen Keller
4) "Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don't forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization." - Stephen Covey
5) "Good character consists of recognizing the selfishness that inheres in each of us and trying to balance it against the altruism to which we should all aspire. It is a difficult balance to strike, but no definition of goodness can be complete without it." - Alan Dershowitz
Do you think you are balanced? I would gather that some are and some are not. But know this...
“A leaders balance and precision make up focus… and when you’re focused, you’ll never miss the target… Most leaders fail in life because they don’t have balance in their lives – be like the Eagle!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Great personal quote today Sgt (Join to see) you did not disappoint brother. Hope you and your wife oare having a great weekend Kerry...
“There are so many competing responsibilities in our lives from family, to work, and our children’s activities in the community. Schedules can run our lives and take over our priorities and the result can be exhaustion, stress, and sometimes frustration. Sometimes you just need to acknowledge that you can’t do everything all the time — time to stop and take a deep breath and bring your life back into balance. May you manage yourself and your time and regain balance today; may you have an attitude of purpose and self-discipline to achieve that balance; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful sign of life that matters; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. It is so important to balance our mind, body, and soul on a daily basis!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

The Scales of Justice - The Tornados
The Scales of Justice - The Tornados.
“Balance Day!” brings to mind the scales of justice which are perfectly balanced in theory when the scales are held by blindfolded lady-justice.
Good Saturday, November 28, 2020 morning my well-balanced friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Quotes I appreciate
1. Albert Einstein 'Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must keep moving.'
2. Abigail Van Buren 'If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money on them.'
3. Dr. Kathleen Hall 'We have overstretched our personal boundaries and forgotten that true happiness comes from living an authentic life fueled with a sense of purpose and balance.'
4. Henry Ellis 'All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.'
Scriptures:
a. Proverbs 11:1-3 ESV '1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
b. Luke 6:37-38 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
c. Mark 4:23-25 ESV 'If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
