Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1567 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time for your daily snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today\u2019s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from a Chinese Proverb, and it is: The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.
Moving Mountains
No matter how large or intimidating a project or task is, it can be completed with perseverance when it is broken down into its smallest possible component. Many people will become overwhelmed when they are confronted with decisions or choices they face. Instead of just taking each next step one after another, they become paralyzed and make no progress. It is like standing at the bottom of a very long set of stairs and wondering how they will reach the top in a single step. When viewed in that manner, it is impossible. No matter how hard or difficult a journey may seem, to get through the most challenging journey, we need to take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping. If your life is in disarray, don\u2019t try to overhaul your life overnight. Instead, focus on making one small change at a time. Over time, those small changes will add up to a significant transformation. Just don\u2019t give up. Just breath in and breathe out and remember that moving forward means taking one step at a time. Even the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. When are children or employees would become overwhelmed with a task, I would ask them. \u201cHow do you eat an elephant?\u201d I would then give them the answer, which is, \u201cone bite at a time.\u201d Bringing the conversation back to the quote for today. Persistence is the most potent force on earth. You can move mountains one small stone at a time.
So it is with our spiritual lives. So often, we are thwarted from making progress in our lives because we do not have the faith that God can enable us to accomplish all that we are capable of. We lack faith in our God-given talents and abilities. So my encouragement to you is to have faith and take your trek of life one step at a time. Move your mountains one small stone at a time. All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed, and you can be a mountain mover.

\u201cYou don\u2019t have enough faith,\u201d Jesus told them. \u201cI tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, \u2018Move from here to there,\u2019 and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.\u201d
As you ponder this nugget of daily wisdom yourself, I would ask you to please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of \u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\u2019
