Forced Action – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1767 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. 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 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 John F. Kennedy, and it is, “A man does what he must – in spite of personal consequences, despite obstacles and dangers and pressures.”

Forced Action

When our backs are up against a wall, when we are between a rock and a hard place, when we or our families are in peril, we will rise to the occasion and do what we must. It is incredible what we can do when we have no other choice but to move forward. Come hell or high water, in times of crises, we quit thinking about our personal consequences and are able to overcome obstacles, dangers, and pressures to do what is necessary. It is through times of crisis when we have the strength and fortitude that is needed to overcome. It is in times of failure that we can learn the lessons needed to succeed. This is one of the primary reasons we should not be overly discouraged when life does not go according to plan. It causes us to learn, mature, and gain the wisdom that is needed for life. John 16:31-33 Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe?  But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet, I am not alone because the Father is with me.  I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
