Don't Play the Victim – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1881 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 Nora Ephron, and it is, "Be the hero (or heroine) of your life, not the victim."

Don’t Play The Victim

There are heroes all around us. From soldiers who protect our borders to fathers and mothers who never give up on their children, every person who makes a difference in the lives of others are heroes. Only a few of them get noticed, though. It seems like so often that you see people playing the victim card for their lot in life instead of taking responsibility for their choices and making the best of it. Regardless of whether you have been dealt a hand of bad cards, it would be best if you learned to play the hand you were dealt and make a difference in your life and everyone you impact. The real heroes are rarely noticed, not desire to be noticed. They would prefer to make the best of every situation, and if that includes a bit of heroism, they will do it without fanfare or fame. While Jesus was on earth, he taught us how to be leaders and heroes. It was by being a servant of all. That is the mark of a true hero. Matthew 20:25-27  But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different.  Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 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.
