Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 487 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Wisdom for Eternity – Wisdom Unplugged
Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 487 of our trek, and it is Thursday and time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.
Today’s quote comes from John Tillotson, and he tells us, “He who provides for this life but takes no care for eternity is wise for a moment but a fool forever.”
All of us tend to focus on the here and now. We invest so much energy on what is expedient and pleasurable in the short term with little thought about how we will impact others and our own eternity. Short term thinking and our desire for instant gratification will ruin our lives in the long term.
We came into this world with nothing, and we will take no material possessions with us when we die. The only true way to impact eternity is through the lives of those that we teach and mentor. Our impact can be felt for many generations, and, yes, even into all eternity if our impact positively impacts those within our realm of influence. Jesus tells us in John 12:25, “Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.”
That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote. If you would like access to my database of over 10,000 inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.
As you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy. Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most importantly your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal each day.
As we take this trek of life together, let us always:
- Live Abundantly (Fully)
- Love Unconditionally
- Listen Intentionally
- Learn Continuously
- Lend to others Generously
- Lead with Integrity
- Leave a Living Legacy Each Day
This is Guthrie Chamberlain reminding you to Keep Moving Forward, Enjoy Your Journey, and Create a Great Day Every Day! See you tomorrow for Philosophy Friday!
