Welcome to Day 1629 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomInfectious Attitude – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is 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 our trek to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! Today is Day 1629 of our Trek, and it’s time for another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. 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 Roger Allan Raby, and it is: A bad attitude is the worst thing that can happen to a group of people. It’s infectious.
Infectious Attitude
Attitude will make or break a family, a church, or any type of organization. If there is a person with a bad attitude, it is like cancer cells that will slowly start to invade and then destroy the organization from the inside out. It is undoubtedly the worst thing that can happen to a group of people. If a negative attitude is permitted to exist, it will spread just like cancer until it takes over that group’s focus and direction. Just like cancer, it must be cut out to avoid any further damage to the host. As with any surgery, this process can be excruciating but is required to spare the organization’s life. The treatment or surgery must be administered as soon as the bad attitude is detected. With cancer, even after it is purged from the body, continual monitoring must is required after the surgery or treatment to ensure that cancer does not return. It will be the same for attitude in any organization. As Zig Ziglar is quoted, “you need a check-up from the neck up.” Continual monitoring will ensure that the organization remains healthy. Once good health has returned to our bodies, eating well and regular exercise will help maintain good health. In an organization, a continual diet of positive attitudes and accomplishments will ensure many years of success. Good attitudes are also infectious, but positively. Like a small packet of yeast will permeate a large amount of dough, so it is with a positive attitude that it will spread through the family, church, company, or any other organization. When you purge the bad, you must replace it with good.

Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%203%3A8andversion=NLT (1 Peter 3:8)
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, I would ask you to please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
