Thursday, January 4, 2018 - Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone!
Today is: "The Power of Words Day!" Why Not?
The Quote in the Picture: "I KNOW NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT HAS AS MUCH POWER AS A WORD. SOMETIMES I WRITE ONE, AND I LOOK AT IT, UNTIL IT BEGINS TO SHINE. ― Emily Dickinson
"The Daily Motivational Quotes that I provide and the power behind the written word if absorbed, comprehended, and understood by the reader in the right context can be powerful for some, but not for all!
Hopefully, they have moved and encouraged many of you in the right way!" ― COL (Ret) Mikel J. Burroughs
The words you write or speak to others can leave a huge impact and create a lasting memory―either good or bad―so it's super important to choose them wisely.
Words can make or break a relationship and your choice of words and the way you express yourself can accelerate or kill your career.
"The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words." ― Unknown
"THE POWER OF WORDS can move you to tears, evoke absolute joy or lead you in action. There are words of encouragement, of sympathy, of love and admiration.
The right words can give you strength, define your faith, give flight to things that live in your imagination.
Words will inspire you, cut you and bring you back to life. They will comfort you in your time of needs. They will nourish your soul!" ― (Unknown)
"One kind word can change someone's entire day." ― Unknown
"Good words are worth much, and cost little." ― George Herbert
"Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world." ― Lawrence G. Lovasik
"Speech has power. Words do not fade. What starts out as a sound, ends in a deed." ― Abraham Joshua Herschel

Great timing on this COL Mikel J. Burroughs I just wrote a paper last night- one of the objectives was to talk about your last deployment and what where the challenges- what worked and what didn't. I spoke to the Kosovo State Partnership mission from last year. I identified that anything you say as a US troop is taken as gospel and the challenge to overcome that is by watching what you say. Words are important and my closing statement was be concise and say exactly what you mean. Great reminder today sir about how the words we use can affect others.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - I have to much enlisted in me to watch what I say. One of the hardest lessons as an O. When you are asked- be careful how you say yes or no. The O club has fragile feelings and the truth hurts sometimes. Especially when you are the problem.

Maj Marty Hogan - I hear you brother - I had the same issue after spending 9 years working for a living! It is what it is!

"Thoughts become words, words become action, actions become consequences." Words have meaning and what we say to whoever illustrates our personal integrity, intellect, and purpose in life.

SPC Mike Lake, thank you. I was lucky enough to find the right platform that brought me to right brothers at the right time and was pointed in the right direction. I'm Not going to lie and say a quote for the day fixed everything, I'm still going through it one day at a time. But I can also honestly say that without having it happened the way it did I probably wldnt be here today. And a quote for the day is a awesome way to start healing. Especially when it's crafted with wisdom. I look forward to seeing it everyday. And having something positive to think about that day. Thinking about it, I want to be the COL when I grow up..if I can get through what I'm going through and learn how to help others with my life experiences, how awesome wld that be. Sorry for the rant, but I needed this today. It's the platform and people like yourself who make a huge difference to. And I thank you for that. Have a great weekend.
