Welcome to Day 1896 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Aspiration and Expectation – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1896 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 Jack Nicklaus, and it is, "Achievement is primarily the product of steadily raising one’s level of aspiration and expectation."

Aspiration and Expectation

We all want to achieve significantly in life, but the thought of big achievements seems to be out of reach for many. This is not the case, though. The way to achieve greatness is to accomplish small increments and do the same each day. Then, once you reach a desired level of achievement, raise your aspirations and expectations one additional level. The journey of a thousand miles is accomplished one step at a time. It takes perseverance and discipline to do a little more tomorrow than you completed today, like anything worth achieving. So don’t be discouraged if you are not making the progress you hope for; keep on each day, and sooner than you realize, much will be accomplished. Little is much when God is in it. Romans 5:3-5 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. 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.
