Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 509 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
A Fresh New Year
Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 509 of our trek, and today is Motivation Monday. Every Monday we explore a quote that will encourage and motivate you to live a rich and satisfying life this week. Today let us hike the trail called A Fresh New Year.
We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. A brand new year is dawning for us all. For Paula and I on our trek of life, there are many areas that we would like to pursue, some of which are already planned while others are just ideas. I am sure there will be many unforeseen twists and turns, obstacles and ditches.
One thing that we can be sure of is the sun will always be shining, whether it is from a clear blue sky or above the clouds obstructed from our view. Our primary desire and focus is to positively impact the lives of others and encourage them to walk faithfully and successfully each day. Let us know how we can assist you.
A Fresh New Year
The quote we want to explore today is from William Arthur Ward, who said, “Another fresh new year is here…another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give! This bright New Year is given me to live each day with zest…to daily grow and try to be my highest and my best! I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs, to pray for peace, to plant a tree, and sing more joyful songs.”
As we start a New Year, let me ask you to look forward and answer this question, “By the end of 2017 what do you desire to accomplish and where do you desire to be on your trek of life?” Take a clear mental picture of what you just answered, post it on the front page of your mind and review it every day upon rising. Next, write it down and post it near your bathroom mirror so that you see it every morning when you rise and again at night before sleep.
With this picture firmly planted in your mind, each day banish the fear, doubt, and worry. Live each day with gusto as you love, laugh, and give of yourself to others. Daily grow toward your highest and best potential. Above all, on your trek each day, keep moving forward and enjoy your journey.
A passage that I have used before, but is so applicable as we begin this new year is Philippians 3:13-14, “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
With these thoughts in mind, we will conclude our trek for today, but I exhort you to take action today and make 2017 your best year ever.
On tomorrow’s trek, we will explore another wisdom quote. This 3-minute wisdom supplement will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise each day. Thank you for joining me on this trek called life. Encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy. If you would like to listen to any of the past daily treks or read the daily journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.
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.
As we take this trek of life together, let us always:
- Live Abundantly (Fully)
- Love Unconditionally
- Listen Intentionally
- Learn Continuously
- Lend to others Generously
- Lead with Integrity
- 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!
