Losers Yearn While Winners Learn – Wisdom Unplugged
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is 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 our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1545 of our Trek, and it's time for another snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become 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 Unknown, and it is: Losers yearn for the past and get stuck in it. Winners learn from the past and let go of it.
Losers Yearn While Winners Learn
We all have a past, but we cannot live there. It is your choice to determine if you look back on your past, thinking that they are the ‘good old days’ that you wish to return to, or if you will learn the lessons from the past. The past can teach us many things, but you cannot continue to live there, it is gone. We must learn the lessons, both the good experiences and those which were devastating. If you don’t learn from the past lessons but continue to yearn for that time, there is no way to move forward. You will be forever quagmired in a time which will never return. In that situation, you are losing twice. You have not learned from the past, and you are paralyzed because you are not moving forward. Instead of always looking back and wishing, learn the lessons that those experiences have taught you and look forward with hope and expectancy to a much better and brighter future. So today, make your choice, are you going to yearn or learn? It is your choice.
The wisest person who ever lived, King Solomon, taught us this lesson,
If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson; if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.
In the later years of his life, he also tells us in Ecclesiastes 7:10
Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise.
