Live Outside Yourself – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1811 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with 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 Albert Einstein, and it is, "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

Live Outside Yourself

Since we are created as imagers of God, our very nature is to image to others what God has become within our lives. This can only happen when we live outside of ourselves and our little cloistered world and start impacting the lives of others for God’s Kingdom. We were not created to isolate ourselves from the world, but to be salt and light by proclaiming Jesus Christ to a world that is dying of thirst and stumbling around in the darkness. Once we realize that our vocation is to build God’s kingdom here on earth, our focus will shift from ourselves to everyone God permits to cross our life path. We need to climb out of our self-made prison, which only focuses inward, and break free to provide freedom to others.  Let us be salt and light every day. Matthew 5:13-16 "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
