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 MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day 20 January 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of February. 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 sometime on the Martin Luther King Holiday to have some time to reflect.
Today's theme is "Mental Strength Day" In respects to Martin Luther King Holiday, I will reflect on his mental strength for human-kind.
The picture depicts my inner-thought:

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Excellent topic today with all that is going on in the world.
I find just listening to the news some days to be a challenge. I posted about how negativity impacts the brain; being positive and being strong on the other hand can actually help build your neural network. Sometimes it is just as the quote says: find fuel in an empty tank; I see that when people overcome what they or you believe they cannot do. Tough times and tough challenges can make or break people. Believe that you can do it and you will get farther than you originally thought you could.

I expect that you have demonstrated courage of your convictions many times and may well have demonstrated physical courage at times Charlie.
I pray that you and I are spiritual mature and that we honor our forefathers and foremothers whose shoulder we stand upon since they demonstrated faith in YOU, my sister-in-Christ @Lt Col Charlie.
Thank YOU, dear God for enabling each of your adopted sons and daughters to demonstrate courage of convictions and given us steadfastness to our convictions.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are aware that we have many choices each day to demonstrate faith in YOU and courage of the convictions YOU have blessed us with. When we err deliberately or accidentally, I pray that we quickly repent and confess to YOU and whoever we may have offended or led astray.
I pray that parents demonstrate courage of convictions and when necessary physical courage to protect our family, friends and neighbors who are in danger of being injured or who have already been injured and need help.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones slept well Monday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

My hunch is most here have more mental toughness than a tremendous number of the civilian population. Hard to do what we do and not be mentally sharp and tough. Morning RP
