Let Your Life Shine – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek 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 today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!  We are on Day 1642 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore 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 James Keller, and it is: A candle loses nothing of its light by lighting another candle.

Let Your Light Shine

Based on the philosophy of many individuals, you would think that when attempting to light a candle from another candle, it would completely extinguish the flame of the first candle. Nothing is farther from the truth. When a flame is passed from one to another, it multiplies the overall amount of light exponentially. Compare the light emitted on a birthday cake of a one-year-old to someone who is one hundred. The first is a tiny flicker, and the latter is a bonfire. The same can be said of our lives. When we allow our inner spirit to touch the lives of others, we pass on a flame that continues to grow the more often it is given. When we make it a habit of passing our flame onto many more people, we exponentially enrich many lives. Let’s think about this from a different angle. When we allow others to share their sorrow and grief with us, it lessens that sorrow as we divide it among us.  But, if we share our blessings with others, it multiplies those blessings, and they become even more remarkable.  So never feel that your flame will be diminished by sharing it with others, instead realize that a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. The fact is, it will exponentially multiply the more we share.

Matthew 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
