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 1510 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 \xa0Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and it is: \xa0\xa0In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.\xa0It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.\xa0\xa0\xa0
Life Becomes Rich
Personal satisfaction with your life is primarily based on your perspective of life.\xa0When we realize that we receive so much more than we ever give to others during the regular course of our ordinary life, we start to realize the blessing we have in life.\xa0Based on those blessings, we should have gratitude, and we will recognize that we do have a rich and satisfying life.\xa0Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so are the bountiful riches we have in life.\xa0It is so easy to have the mindset that what we do and how we live is so important, and with this, we overestimate our importance compared to others.\xa0The blessings and riches we have each day may seem miniscule and unimportant. Still, when they are viewed over the course of our lives, we can genuinely understand that life is wonderful, and we should have hearts filled with gratitude to God and other people that God has allowed to enrich our lives.\xa0We can live a rich and satisfying life each day if we choose to view life from the lens of gratitude.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1%3A3-7&version=NLT (2 Peter 1:3-7)
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.\xa0And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world\u2019s corruption caused by human desires.
\xa0In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God\u2019s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,\xa0and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,\xa0and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
