Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 352 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Your Life Plan Blueprint – WESPER Step-2: Establish – Principles 3 & 4

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 352 of our trek and last week we began a detailed series, which we originally introduced in January, called Your Life Plan Blueprint. We have synthesized the information into a 100 page PDF manual/workbook which contains all forms needed to create and maintain your personal life plan.

This is our initial release of the manual/workbook, and it is available for download at Wisdom-Trek.com on the left-hand sidebar of any page. Or, if you are listening on your smartphone, you can text the word LifePlan (with no spaces) to 44222, and Your Life Plan Blueprint will be delivered to you in an email. The manual/workbook is free during the month of May, so I would encourage you to become one of our early adopters so that all updates will be available to you for free also. By the end of 2016, we will have a complete web/mobile version available of Your Life Plan Blueprint.

Thank you so much for coming along with me as we trek through each page of Your Life Plan Blueprint. If you would like to listen to any of the past episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal. You can also subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher, Soundcloud, iHeart Radio, and Google Play so each day’s trek will be downloaded to you automatically.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. This week’s business work, yard work, and renovation activities are keeping us very busy and focused. We are making progress in all areas, and I have to remind myself that just as our overall life is a trek, so each day we must take one step at a time. Even with that, life is never constant and is always changing for us. It is amazing that in less than two weeks, most of the big maple and oak trees on our property went from barely budding to almost full foliage. Time does trek on quickly. Choose to enjoy every day of it.

As a reminder, we are looking at changing the format of Wisdom-Trek on June 1^st.  Please email me at guthrie@venturecg.com or leave a comment at the bottom of today’s journal and let me know if you would like me to continue Wisdom-Trek on a 7 day, 5 day, or 3 day per week schedule. Also, let me know if you would like any changes to the format of the daily trek. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

It is now time to get started on the 14^th day of Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook. If you missed any of the previous days in this series, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. On our trek today, we will continue our deep exploration of each of the phases of the WESPER Framework. We will continue with the 2^nd step today as we examine principles 3 & 4 that make up the establish phase. This process will take several days as I walk you through each step of creating your life plan. I would encourage you to trek with me through this process and complete the associated forms that are included in Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.

WESPER Step 2: Establish –  Principles 3 & 4

If you are following along in the manual/workbook today, let’s start exploring on page 28 which covers the 3^rd principle of the establish phase of Your Life Plan Blueprint. You can also view this information in the journal for Day 352 on Wisdom-Trek.com. The 3^rd principle is to Understand Your Motivations with Your Life Purpose. The why/because sections below are still a work in progress for me also. The entries listed are for example only to spur your thoughts. I have partially completed one section for each of the 7 areas of the Wheel of Life located on Page 27.

 

 

Now let’s explore principle #4, which is to Identify Your Objective Goals First and Then Define Your Activity Goals. This information is located on page 31 of Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.

If you find yourself struggling with finding your life purpose and your overall objectives, take your time but stay focused with consistent persistence. Life is a trek, not a 100-yard dash. Review this information as much as you need, and if you have any questions, please email me at guthrie@venturecg.com. I will address any questions that you have.

On our trek for today, we have examined the Principles 3 & 4 of the 2^nd Step of the WESPER Framework, which is establish. Take some time today to complete this information for your own life plan. This is a process that does take some time in the beginning, but once it is set up, it will give your life purpose and direction.

Tomorrow we will continue with principles 5 – 7 of the establish phase within the WESPER Framework. This information will cover pages 32-33 of Your Life Plan Blueprint manual/workbook. If you have not done so already, make sure you download Your Life Plan Blueprint, and encourage your friends and family to join us. Then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our trek for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, we ask you to help us grow Wisdom-Trek by sharing with your family and friends through email, Facebook, Twitter, or in person, so they can come along with us each day.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most of all your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal each day.

As we take this trek together, let us always:

1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
2. Love Unconditionally
3. Listen Intentionally
4. Learn Continuously
5. Lend to others Generously
6. Lead with Integrity
7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

This is Guthrie Chamberlain reminding you to Keep Moving Forward, Enjoy Your Journey, and Create a Great Day Every Day! See you tomorrow!
