Welcome to Day 1050 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Beginning Every Fresh Moment – Wisdom Unplugged


Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge.  Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.  Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1050 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged.  This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of 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 is from Mary Anne Radmacher and it is:  Difficulties impact me, but they do not define me. Challenges mold me, but they do not make me. Praise may encourage me, but it is my own vision that inspires me. Successes may spur me on, but it is my own reward that satisfies me. Pain may permeate, but my heart and hope prevail. Criticism and pettiness may knock, but the lock is on my side of the door. Abundance may pave the road, but it is generosity that lights the way. My way. Beginning every fresh moment, now!
Beginning Every Fresh Moment
We often want to shift the responsibilities for our decisions and actions to external circumstances that we face each day, but external circumstances do not really control us.   We cannot control the external circumstance in our lives, but we can always control how we respond to those external circumstances.  We always have a choice, even though those choices may be very difficult.  Difficulties, challenges, praise, success, pain, criticism, and abundance, are all external stimuli, but it is our core values and integrity that controls how we respond to either positive or negative stimuli.  We have a choice at any point in our lives to allow our lives to be fresh and new.  To live from this point forward guided by core values that are built on the solid bedrock of Biblical integrity.  Our lives are holy beacons of light that should shine the light of hope, love, and joy into the lives of others.   Let us always be a light shining brightly because of who we are, not because of external circumstances, regardless of whether they are positive or negative. We are instructed in Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
