Welcome to Day 1455 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomOur Past Creates Our Future – Wisdom UnpluggedWisdom - 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 1455 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  C. S. Lewis, and it is:    Humanity does not pass through phases as a train passes through a station: being alive, it has the privilege of always moving yet never leaving anything behind. Whatever we have been, in some sort, we are still.     
Our Past Creates Our FutureThree primary mindsets influence a person's outlook on life. Some people are past-oriented, and most decisions made are influenced strongly by what happened in the past. Some people are present-oriented, and current circumstances strongly influence most decisions, that is what is happening now. The remainder of the people are future-oriented, and most decisions are made from the perspective of what could be in the future. I tend to be very future-oriented, and do not allow what happened in the past, or my current situation to hinder what I think is a future possibility. Regardless of what perspective is dominant in your decision making, all of us are bound by our past. We cannot deny being strongly influenced by circumstances and experiences that make us who we are today.  Our history is both positive and negative. The negative aspects of our past need to be our tutors which help us to make wise decisions in the future.  The positive aspects of our history need to be our sage advisers allowing us to build on that strong foundation, which will enable us to excel and impact others as we build God’s kingdom here on earth. Regardless of your primary outlook on life and decision making, know that whatever baggage we bring with us from the past, whether it be good or ill, we can learn from it to be better tomorrow than we are today. Life is a trek, and each day that we live is another opportunity to be who God destined us to be.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
