Success in Life – Wisdom Unplugged
Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 507 of our trek, and it is time for a 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 for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.
Today’s quote comes from Joseph Addison, who says, “If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.”
I believe all of us desire to be successful, as I don’t know of anyone who desires to be a failure. If this premise is true, then the quote for today gives us a good recipe for success.
First, we need to have an unwavering persistence. Tenacity needs to become your closest friend so that you will continue on, even when everything seems to be against you. Second, the experiences that you have gained from past failures need to give you the wise counsel that you need so that you do not repeat the same mistakes. Third, with that experience will bring a measure of caution so that your decisions will be much wiser as if your older brother were giving you additional insight. Fourth and most of all, you need to embrace an unwavering hope to continue on, even when life looks bleak because it is the genius that fuels your desire to be a success in all of life.
As the Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the church of Rome in Chapter 5 verses 3 through 5, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged. 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.
