Thank you my friend and brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see) for posting the Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day! for Thursday, July 28, 2022.

Topic: Do Day
Do reminds me that doing what is best, better, or okay is better viewed from those who are most impacted.
1. It is wise to count the cost of action and inaction as you make decisions to do the right thing.
2. Doing what is right, noble and true can be costly to reputation, friendship and resources.
3. It takes courage of conviction to consistently do the right thing.
4. Noble leaders demonstrate servant leadership to accomplish missions, tasks and goals while working alongside those they lead with sweat equity - of thought, time, energy and resources.
5. I am reminded that on September 11, 2001 many did the right thing and lost their life doing it. Todd Beamer on Flight 93 [which terrorists had planned to use to flying into the Capital Building or the White House] deliberated with other passengers and said 'Let's Roll.'

Quotes:
1. Todd Beamer 'Let's Roll'
2. Tim Ferris 'Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things.'
3. Elbert Hubbard 'Initiative is doing the right things without being told'
4. Zig Ziglar 'With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.'
5. Martin Luther King Jr. 'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.'


Scriptures:
a. Romans 5:6-8 ESV ‘For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'
b. Psalm 51:10-12 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation.'
c. Proverbs 12:12 ESV 'Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit'
d. Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV 'Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.'
e. Proverbs 16:18-19 ESV 'Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.'
f. Proverbs 28:6 (ESV) 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.'
g. Psalm 18:2-14 ESV ‘The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears. Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry. Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.’
h. 1 Corinthians 8:9-13 ESV But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

Good morning Kerry and thanks for the post. I got my PT done; had to laugh on the circuit...cross paths with an Army guy twice (we were working opposite directions) and he asked if I was lost (called me Air Force) or if he was...I said, not me...I checked the route from 30,000 feet...
It's important to do your best. Especially if you are expecting others to either follow you or help you. I tell clients, I can't help you if you won't help yourself. I can find resources, make suggestions, etc., but I cannot do it for you. I am not the one who needs to submit the resume, schedule the interview, go to the appointments, etc. It doesn't work that way. Those who are willing to do get better and have better outcomes than those who won't.

Very few other people will do much to help you, if you don't put forth your own efforts!
