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 1490 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 \xa0Vince Lombardi, and it is: \xa0\xa0\xa0If we chase perfection\xa0\u2014 we can catch excellence.\xa0
Catch ExcellenceCertainly, we know that no human is perfect.\xa0That is plainly evident each day of our lives.\xa0While perfection is not attainable, achieving a level of excellence in a particular area of life is possible.\xa0Becoming excellent requires focusing on the fundamental steps in the area we desire to become perfect.\xa0There is an old saying that \u2018practice makes perfect.\u2019\xa0While that may sound logical, a more accurate statement is \u2018perfect practices makes perfect.\u2019 As stated, we cannot achieve perfection; we can chase perfection, which will allow us to become excellent in any number of life areas where we choose to succeed.\xa0\xa0So on your path to excellence, invest the time, talent, and treasures in chasing perfection; you will then catch excellence. If we have this philosophy in life, we can agree with the Apostle Paul when he wrote Philippians 3:12-14 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+3%3A12-14&version=NLT) I don\u2019t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.\xa0No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,\xa0but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,\xa0I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
That\u2019s a wrap for today\u2019s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
