Start Today – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1876 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So 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 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" 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 Karen Lamb, and it is, "A year from now, you may wish you had started today."
Start Today
So many people have dreams, ambitions, plans, and goals, but they never wake up from their dream to achieve their desires. There are always excuses or hindrances where they are hesitant to begin.
Usually, the real reason for not beginning is fear that they may fail. This procrastination may even be an unconscious fear that they just make up excuses instead of taking that first step towards their goal. Without realizing it, a person who does this will automatically fail because they never take action on their dreams and ambitions. While everyone will look back and see how wiser decisions could have been made, those who are successful can briefly look back with the realization that they may need to adjust course slightly, but they continue to move forward.
Don’t risk looking back a year from now and regretting that you never started. Start today and even if you fail or have to make significant course corrections, you will see how far you have come and the beautiful lessons you have learned.
Luke 9:57-62As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.” So he said to another person, “Come, follow me.” The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.” Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.” But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
