A Bend In The Road – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! We are on Day 1634 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Helen Keller, and it is: A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn.
A Bend In The Road
Life is full of twists and turns, and the older I become, the more I realize that you can never anticipate all of them. As I look back on nearly 65 years of life and look forward to at least another 65 years, I know that no matter how well I plan and organize, I must always be ready for unforeseen bends in my road. The crucial element for a successful life is to know that nothing will ever go 100% as planned, and we must be prepared for the inevitable changes that we will encounter. It reminds me of the old idiom ‘The best-laid plans of mice and men oft times go astray.’ Yes, planning is crucial, and we should have clear goals and agendas, but those who are the best planners also plan for contingencies realizing that rarely does life goes according to plan. We have to understand that is ok. There will be bends in our road of life, but that is not the end of the road unless we fail to make the turn. Think about your trek of life as analogous to a rough mountain trail. We will have steep uphill climbs and many twists and turns. We will have to forge through rushing rivers, but we will also come to flat, smooth plateaus where our trek is easy. We must be prepared for all the terrains on our trek of life. When we understand this, we will not be surprised and adapt and change as needed. Indeed, God’s Word can be a guide for us when we do navigate through our life. Push on, enjoy your journey, and be blessed with each day.
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
