Live By Acting – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1782 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. 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 says, “How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!” 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 Carlos Casteneda, and it is, “A person of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.”

Live By Acting

Thinking and planning are necessary steps to accomplish anything worthwhile, but unless you take action, all the thinking and planning in the world will be worthless. Therefore, action is required to achieve anything in life.

I have known a few people throughout my life that love to plan but find it challenging to move from the planning stage to taking action. These persons are always getting ready to get ready, but the execution of a plan rarely happens. Many times this stems from a perfectionist mentality. If something cannot be done perfectly, this type of person never moves beyond the dream. They need to learn that imperfect action is much better than perfect inaction.

Knowledge overflows by imperfect action. Not only will things be accomplished, but the lessons learned from the mistakes made will provide an abundance of knowledge that would be difficult to obtain otherwise. So move boldly forward, even if you don’t see all the steps of the plan. To get through the most arduous journey, we need to take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.

Ezra 10:4

Get up, for it is your duty to tell us how to proceed in setting things straight. We are behind you, so be strong and take action.

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 our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
