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 1495 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 \xa0Latin Proverb, and it is: \xa0\xa0If you always live with those who are lame, you will yourself learn to limp.\xa0\xa0
Don\u2019t Be Lame
This proverb is so true, and makes me think of so many other sayings and proverbs.\xa0One that I remember mom telling us when we were teenagers was, \u201cIf you lie down with dogs, don\u2019t be surprised that you will rise up with fleas.\u201d\xa0Who we invest our time with will strongly influence who we become.\xa0If you want to be successful, then you need to invest your time with successful people.\xa0If you desire to learn and show love and compassion then invest more time with those who already show those traits.\xa0Jim Rohm was credited with saying that \u201cyou are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.\u201d\xa0This is so true, and I see examples of this fact nearly every day, both good, and bad.\xa0If you desire to be wise then you must invest your time with the wise.\xa0Once again the irrefutable law of planting and harvesting applies here.\xa0When you plant corn, you will harvest corn.\xa0If you plant wheat, you will harvest wheat.\xa0If you plant weeds or thornbushes, that is what you will harvest.\xa0There is no changing this universal law of God.\xa0Don\u2019t invest time with those who are lame in spirit, or you will limp through life not being able to fulfill your God-given talents and abilities.
1 Corinthians 15:33 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A33&version=NLT)
Don\u2019t be fooled by those who say such things, for \u201cbad\xa0company\xa0corrupts good character.\u201d
