The Tightrope of Life – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1866 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. So 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 William A. Ward, and it is, "A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life."

The Tightrope of Life

Life is sometimes challenging, sort of like walking on a tightrope.  You have to be very careful with each step you take. This trek of life can be a difficult path to take, but just like being on a tightrope or climbing a mountain, the higher you go, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. In both examples, you need to make sure you are appropriately outfitted and be very careful to have the proper balance. That is where a well-developed sense of humor comes into play. Whether it is a balancing beam on a tightrope or a good walking stick for a challenging hike in life, a good sense of humor will steady you through those difficult life situations we all encounter. A well-developed sense of humor needs to be cultivated in your life.. First, don’t take life too seriously. Unless a situation causes harm to life or limb, then you can laugh at it and get through it. Also, invest time reading funny stories and jokes, listening to comedians, and watching funny programs. This will help you get through the challenging times with more ease and comfort. As God’s children, we are to live fully and enjoy what He has blessed us with. Therefore, we all need to lighten up and live. 2 Corinthians 8:2 They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor.  But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity. John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. 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.
