Welcome to Day 1831 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom A Real Decision – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1831 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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 Tony Robbins, and it is: A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided. A Real Decision A decision made must be connected to an action that is taken. Otherwise, you decide to do nothing, which is not a decision. Action is the key to making your choices tangible. You can sit around and think about taking action on a matter, but until you actually act, you might as well not waste your mental energy contemplating what you might do. My grandma Burkhart called that a mugwump. She explained it this way, you can spit in one hand and wish in the other, and you will end up with the same result; nothing is accomplished. So unless you enjoy being a mugwump, I suggest that when you make decisions, you also follow through with taking action. As a Christ-follower, we are warned in Scripture that we should not be idle but always work as though we are working for God’s glory and not our satisfaction. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Thessalonians+3%3A6-10&version=NLT (2 Thessalonians 3:6-10) And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers who live idle lives and don’t follow the tradition they received from us. For you know that you ought to imitate us. We were not idle when we were with you. We never accepted food from anyone without paying for it. We worked hard day and night so we would not be a burden to any of you. We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.” As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1830 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.
