Welcome to Day 1470 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomHard Work \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 1470 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 \xa0Helena Rubinstein, and it is: \xa0\xa0\xa0I believe in\xa0hard work.\xa0It keeps the wrinkles out of the mind and spirit.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
Hard WorkAs I have mentioned in previous episodes, I grew up on an apple orchard and small farm. There were 12 of us living in an old farmhouse with one bathroom.\xa0We didn\u2019t have much materially and would be considered poor by most modern standards.\xa0In spite of that, for the most part, we grew up happy and did not realize that we were poor. My parents taught my nine siblings and me how to love each other, even when you don\u2019t feel like it.\xa0We learned how to love others, even when they did not deserve it.\xa0We also learned how to work hard in order to survive. You know what? I am so happy that I was able to experience all of that growing up. I do believe in working hard, and not being a victim in life.\xa0I never use my childhood as an excuse not to do my very best.\xa0As Helena said in our quote for today, hard work has and continues to keep me young.\xa0Hard work, indeed, does keep the wrinkles out of my mind and spirit.\xa0It allows me to be young of mind and spirit to continue on when others choose to quit.\xa0\xa0So work hard.\xa0Choose to enjoy what you do and be satisfied with the results.\xa0\xa0Hard work rarely, if ever, causes you harm, or will kill you.\xa0\xa0Enjoy the journey.\xa0The book of Proverbs has several lessons on hard work.\xa0Here is one of them.
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2021%3A5&version=NLT)
Good planning and\xa0hard\xa0work\xa0lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
We are also encouraged in:
Romans 12:11 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012%3A11&version=NLT)
Never be lazy, but\xa0work\xa0hard\xa0and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
That\u2019s a wrap for today\u2019s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
