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 December 17, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snowcapped mountains headed into the New Year 2020. 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.
Today's theme is “Enterprise Day!” I quote, “The man who has no vision will undertake no great enterprise.” — Woodrow Wilson

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Thanks my friend - I don't usually get into the ghosts each of our leaders mya have, but some of their words have wisdom behind them otherwise they wouldn't have been the Leader of the Free World at that particular time. We can certianly find fault with many of our past Presidents and current ones for that matter, but I look at the meaning of the quote my friend - leave the author out, so thanks for dropping in expressing yourself...
“Creating your own enterprise whether it’s a business, a dream, or a goal will help you find the key to happiness. No matter what your goal or dream is, small opportunities can become great enterprises. Never let those creative juices stop flowing. May you always explore your visions to get them started and get them completed; may you always have the right and positive attitude and aptitude to move forward with your dreams and visions; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy during these uncertain times. Victory for Veterans, Inc. is working on the Wellness Center Enterprise for our veterans – the road is long, but the opportunity is great for our veterans. Never give up on creating a new enterprise.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect you are thankful for the enterprises, activities, and hobbies you and your family member are involved with and enjoy the time you spend with them in this advent season. Hopefully you treat those who provide service to you and your family with respect. 'Do for others whatever you would like them to do for yourself. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. [Matthew 7-12 ESV] my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I pray that each adopted son and daughter of YOURS dear LORD is content with our station and status in life what we have as well as what we are caretakers of by God’s grace. Our children are entrusted to us to raise up in the admonition of the LORD. 'Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper' [Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV]
I lift the homeless, the distraught, the hungry and the contagious brothers and sisters in Christ to YOU dear LORD. YOU know our deepest needs and YOU make a way for each of us in YOUR perfect timing. 'Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. ' [Luke 6:47-48 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Thursday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Friday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Thursday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the snowy Greater Boston Area, where the winds are whipping and the the snow blowing around as it continues to fall... Expected end to the Nor'easter is mid to late afternoon... Roads in our development are being kept relatively clear and the snow is piling up... Welcome to Winter in New England...
“Enterprise Day!” Why Not?
1) "If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work." - Abraham Lincoln
2) "The prudent see only the difficulties, the bold only the advantages, of a great enterprise; the hero sees both; diminishes the former and makes the latter preponderate, and so conquers." - Johann Kaspar Lavater
3) "Why is our free-enterprise system so strong?- Not because it stands still, frozen in the past, but because it has always adapted to changing realities." - Lee Iacocca
4) "No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist." - Calvin Coolidge
5) "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." - Gene Roddenberry
“Enterprise leadership is all about focusing on the overall goals of the whole organization and those outside factors and influences that can affect the organization, not just individual performance or span of control!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
