The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day and Week!
We have 15 weeks and 109 days left until 2019!
Good "Red Friday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest!" ― September 14, 2018!
Today is: "My Decisions or Circumstances Day!" Why Not?
"We live in the land of what I call "The Big PX" with opportunities all around us, therefore our decisions to use our abilities and creativity can change the circumstances of those who don't have access to "The Big PX". We can decide to make a difference for those that live without opportunities!" ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "I'm not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions.” ― Stephen Covey
"Circumstance filter the options from which to decide. But, creativity gives us the power to see beyond our current circumstances and limitations." ― Scott Moore
"Living as a product of our circumstances forces us to look outside of ourselves for a culprit, someone to blame. This leads us to the toxicity of resentment. We blame our boss, our government, our parents, children, partner…" ― Rebecca Perkins
"The power lies in my decisions, my directions, my choices and reactions to the circumstances at hand. I can decide to do nothing, decide to focus on the negative, decide to let a situation or a person define me, decide to let a reaction dictate my worth." ― Ella Patrice
"I can also decide to take action, decide to look at the positive, decide to define me for me, decide to let my worth come from me and only me." ― Ella Patrice
"I am myself and my circumstance; if I do not save it, I do not save myself " ― Jose Ortega Y Gasset
"The hardest thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward." ― Amelia Earhart
"When you have to make a decision and do not make it, that is in itself a decision." ― William James

LORD I left up each of my friends and contacts especially those influenced by Hurricanes on the east coast and sandstorms in southwest Asia. I pray that YOU guide them to make wise decisions and YOU will order their steps as they lead those they love and/or lead in service. I the power and authority of the Name above all names Jesus the Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:25-33 (KJV)
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Romans 8:35-39 (KJV)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Circumstances - however bad - are familiar, while change is uncertain. How grim do circumstances have to get in order for me to embrace change? Depends on how stubborn I get.
