Welcome to Day 497 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

The Gift of Today – Wisdom Unplugged

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 497 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 Ray Lammie, who says, “I was given a most precious gift this morning when I woke up. It’s a gift I never received before. It’s one I can’t keep, can’t return, can’t save, and don’t know how well it will really work. I do know it’s a most wonderful and beautiful gift. I hope I value and appreciate it enough to use it wisely. That gift is this day! Enjoy yours — make it a very special one.”When you wake every morning, how do you think and feel about each new day? Do you consider it a gift or a curse? Time is the only truly finite commodity, and it is the only equalizer among everyone.

Each day every person has 1,440 minutes to spend or invest. No material possessions that we accumulate while we live can be taken with us when we die. Even with that knowledge, so many of us strive relentlessly to gain more. At the beginning of each new day, accept your gift, enjoy each moment, and invest the time impacting the lives of others in a positive manner.

Your impact can be through your work, your play, and all of the seemingly non-important moments of life. It is those small moments of life that may have the greatest impact. The impact that you have on the lives of others is the only thing that will live on throughout eternity long after you are gone. Take time to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. To stop and smell the roses and coffee. To watch a butterfly flit through the air on a warm summer day. To watch the snowflakes gently fall to the ground on a cold winter night. Invest the gift of each new day wisely, and the return on that investment will last through 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. Just as you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of 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:

1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
2. Love Unconditionally
3. Listen Intentionally
4. Learn Continuously
5. Lend to others Generously
6. Lead with Integrity
7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

I am Guthrie Chamberlain reminding you to Keep Moving Forward, Enjoy Your Journey, and Create a Great Day Every Day! See you tomorrow for Philosophy Friday!
