Welcome to Day 1886 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

100% Responsible – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1886 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 Gramps, and it is, "A rich and satisfying life all starts with deciding to take 100% responsibility. Stop making excuses, stop blaming other people, your culture, your background, or anything else, and start on whatever you want to do with your life because today is the first day of the rest of your life."

100% Responsible

We all have situations and issues that we could use as excuses for why we are in our position in life today. While our past and its obstacles may have contributed to who and where we are in life up to this point, it does not need to be an excuse for where we end up in the future. That is a choice that you need to make today. Today’s choices will be why you find yourself a year from now, ten years from now, or ten decades from now. You need to start today to make wise choices to ensure you will be where you desire to be in the future, in any area of life. I realize that I have mentioned this many times before, but you cannot defy God’s law of planting and harvesting. It is universal and as fixed as the law of gravity. What you plant today, you will harvest in the future. But like the farmer who patiently waits for the crop to grow and nurtures it throughout the process, you will need that same commitment in your life if you desire a rich and satisfying life in the future. So stop making excuses, accept 100% responsibility for your life, and start planting today, so you will be able to harvest tomorrow. Galatians 6:7-8 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 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 Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
