Welcome to Day 1455 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomOur Past Creates Our Future \u2013 Wisdom UnpluggedWisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge.\xa0Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, 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.\xa0Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1455 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged.\xa0This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today\u2019s trek.\xa0Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today.\xa0So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from \xa0C. S. Lewis, and it is: \xa0\xa0\xa0Humanity does not pass through phases as a train passes through a station: being alive, it has the privilege of always moving yet never leaving anything behind.\xa0Whatever we have been, in some sort, we are still.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
Our Past Creates Our FutureThree primary mindsets influence a person's outlook on life.\xa0Some people are past-oriented, and most decisions made are influenced strongly by what happened in the past.\xa0Some people are present-oriented, and current circumstances strongly influence most decisions, that is what is happening now. The remainder of the people are future-oriented, and most decisions are made from the perspective of what could be in the future.\xa0I tend to be very future-oriented, and do not allow what happened in the past, or my current situation to hinder what I think is a future possibility.\xa0Regardless of what perspective is dominant in your decision making, all of us are bound by our past.\xa0We cannot deny being strongly influenced by circumstances and experiences that make us who we are today.\xa0\xa0Our history is both positive and negative.\xa0The negative aspects of our past need to be our tutors which help us to make wise decisions in the future.\xa0\xa0The positive aspects of our history need to be our sage advisers allowing us to build on that strong foundation, which will enable us to excel and impact others as we build God\u2019s kingdom here on earth.\xa0Regardless of your primary outlook on life and decision making, know that whatever baggage we bring with us from the past, whether it be good or ill, we can learn from it to be better tomorrow than we are today.\xa0Life is a trek, and each day that we live is another opportunity to be who God destined us to be.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to\xa0the\xa0life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially\xa0the\xa0sin that so easily trips us up. And let us\xa0run\xa0with endurance\xa0the\xa0race\xa0God has set before us.That\u2019s a wrap for today\u2019s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
