Welcome to Day 1960 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Dedicated Minority – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1960 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 Martin Luther King, Jr., and it is, “Almost always, the creative, dedicated minority has made the world better.”

Dedicated Minority

Like any culture and society at any time in history, most of the population would instead go with the flow rather than cause waves. So they wander around like sheep without a shepherd or follow along like lemmings. A more current analogy is that they are minions always doing what they think everyone else is. It is estimated that 10% of any group will rise to leadership positions, while the contented 90% would instead follow along. It takes the creative but dedicated minority to change the world and make a meaningful impact on the world around them. Significantly to change the world for good. So while it is okay to be part of the group and a team player when needed, look for ways to be creative and dedicated so that you can change your world for good.

2 Peter 1:10-11 So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 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.
