Today's Message is: "Dwell Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 7 June 2022!


Today’s Message is: “Dwell Day!” Why Not?


“Leaders don’t dwell in the past. They learn from their past mistakes and lessons learned, good or bad, but they don’t dwell. Their objective is to avoid having the same bad things or mistakes repeat themselves repeatedly going forward. The secret is to acknowledge the mistake, learn everything you can about the why, when, where, and how; lead and teach others from what you’ve learned about the mistake; and move on and move out smartly – there are missions to be completed today and in the future. No time for dwelling!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I found this in my email this morning and felt it applies, somewhat, to today’s motivational quote:

The flier in me doesn't like to dwell on much. And if I do dwell it's usually on how to improve what I just screwed up. What is behind you is just that, move on!

You’re right on that, Mikel. Instill fear into the masses and then they have control over them.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I try to dwell on good things because to do otherwise tends to really bring m down. So where would you like to dwell, feeling good or feeling down? Have a blessed day today and always.

It reminded me of an Instagram post I did in April 2017. I posed this question: Where Do You Dwell? The thought I shared was this: I’ve been asking myself, what am I dwelling on? What do my…
