It Will Take Longer – Wisdom Unplugged


Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1105 of our trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged.  This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

Today’s quote is from Croft M. Pentz, and it is, "Failure doesn't mean you'll never succeed — it will just take longer."
It Will Take Longer


Failure, we all experience it, otherwise we would not have a basis for success. We can and should make plans and set goals, because that gives us a timeline and milestones to strive toward. We have to realize that at some point during our journey, and usually, for our betterment, we will have setbacks and failures that disrupt the plans and goals that we have set. Does that mean we should quit? Absolutely not! For every failure we experience, there is a lesson to be learned—that in itself is a success.  Failures allow us to take pause, reevaluate our circumstances, and ask ourselves these three questions.

Is our goal still what we desire?
If so, what corrections need to be made to the plan to avoid, or at least minimize, the same or similar failures.
Am I willing to continue to make the sacrifices necessary in order to obtain the desired goal?

If we can address these three questions affirmatively, then we need to pick ourselves back up, dust ourselves off, and continue on with our journey. We may need to adjust our timeline to compensate for the failure, but we are still moving forward.



As we make our plans and set our goals, always keep in mind that it is God who directs our steps.

Proverbs 16:9

We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
