Saturday, April 14, 2018 - Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone!
Today is: "What Defines You Day!" Why Not?
"We're defined by what we say and do. As individuals our actions and how we treat others will define who we are. Be the best we can be every day and in everything we do and say." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything." — George Bernard Shaw
"My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me." — Steve Maraboli
"Failure doesn't define you. It's what you do after you fail that determines whether you are a leader or a waste of perfectly good air." — Sabaa Tahir
"Tough times don't define you, they refine you. " — Carlos A. Rodriguez
"We don’t have to allow ourselves to be defined by the labels imposed on us. We get to define ourselves." — Lizzie Velásquez
"There is no set moment in your life that will define you. Every moment is a chance to change your life for better or worse. Choose to change now." — Avina Celeste
"What defines you as a person is not the life you were born in to, but what you made of it. — Shahid Kapoor
"Your judgement judges you and defines you." — Jean-Paul Sartre

What defines me is an aversion to being labeled, put in a box, categorized. In short, defined ;)
That said...my identity is as a child of God, however unworthy and only by His grace and love, and my life is an offer back to Him -- the good, bad, and ugly, just as I am.
Thank you, sir, for a defining quote today! And here's to a day of living authentically COL Mikel J. Burroughs.

Sgt your heart is in the right place. Of all of the really effective preachers I have ever heard and I have heard a lot the best are the ones who have been in the muck and were rescued by Jesus. I have been down in the muck and like you Jesus pulled me out. I served in a small country church for 16 years but God had bigger plans for me. I now serve in the SC State Guard as a Chaplain instead of having a dozen people to care for I now have 1000 of the best folks I know to care for. God will put you where he wants you went he wants you. Hang in there and if there is anything I can do for you or anyone who might read this just contact me. Have a great weekend and an even better week.

Michael Horne what a blessing to see/hear how God is working through you to touch lives in the SC Guard.
My grandfather was a country pastor. Studied under AT Robertson at Baptist seminary, Louisville (after his MDiv at Luther sem in St Paul), then pastored country churches in ND and MN, way up north.
Thank you for your service, sir. God bless you.

Even the late Bruce Lee in his book, the Tao of Jeet Kune Do,when urged to put a name to his art....noted that the moment we start putting labels on things is the same moment we begin to put limits on what it can/can't be.
Im also Christian but dont identify with any particular sect or label...other than believer in God, Jesus,Holy Spirit and the 4th Covenant.
Ive noticed that those who INSIST on labels frequently 'seem' to be more interested in power than what it is they are labeling...seems i see examples of that in the news daily with those who try to change definitions or Spin to benefit thier particular narrative.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr,
I definitely agree. I always believed I can learn so much by ones actions. Words well .. "dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see..." has definitely been in my evaluation techniques.

"You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do!" ~Olin Miller
When we allow others to define us, it limits what we believe we can accomplish. No one but God can see into your heart, know your gifts and your spirit. We are a mystery even to ourselves at times so why allow someone to put a label on your box? Instead open yourself to the myriad of possibilities and be your best self. You might be surprised what you can do.

Excellent quote this morning and I agree with your thoughts Charlie. Don't let others define us and always believe in yourself - so important these days and the days to come. You have an excellent Saturday Lt Col Charlie Brown

Boy you've just defined me. Never worried much about what others thought of me, to the point that in college everyone dedicated Otis Redding's 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay' to me......I can't do what ten people tell me to do... Oddly I ended up in California and married someone from San Francisco area. Anyhow, I've always beat to my own drum, sure followed the rules but got things done my way irregardless of what others thought.
