Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 465 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Courage to Change – Wisdom Unplugged
Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 470 of our trek, and it is Tuesday 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 is from Reinhold Niebuhr, who tells us, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know one from the other.”
This is a fairly well-known quote, but one that is so hard to put into practice on a daily basis. We would all like to effect change, but with most situations in life, we do not have the ability to impact change to any great extent. You cannot change others, you cannot change situations outside of your control. The great news is that you can change yourself. So that is the place to start.
We need to know the difference. We need to accept life for how it is, not how we wished it to be. Accept what you cannot change, but stand strong and have the courage to move forward to change what you can. Rely on God to provide you with the wisdom and the peace to accept the outcome regardless. Job 28:23 says, “God alone understands the way to wisdom; he knows where it can be found, for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens.”
That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged. If you enjoy these quotes, I have created and published a searchable database of over 10,000 quotes that I have collected for many years. If you would like access to my database of inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.
So 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 Wisdom Wednesday!
