Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1588 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 Peter Lord, and it is: We have no control over how we feel, how we act \u2014 our attitudes and actions \u2014 except as they are determined by our thoughts.
Determined By Our Thoughts
I am sure you have heard the saying \u2018you are what you eat.\u2019 I understand the meaning behind this statement, but you don\u2019t become a hamburger when you eat one. A better saying which is far more accurate is, \u2018you are what you think about.\u2019 On most days it may not seem like we have control over how we feel, how we act, or our attitudes and actions. It is because all these elements are irrevocably tied together. The missing component in the last two sentences is that it does not consider our thought process. Since we do have control over what we think, it is possible to control our attitudes and actions completely. All thoughts can be divided into two basic categories: true and false. The thoughts that come from God are true. He is the God of all truth and has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and guide us into all truth. If I can receive God\u2019s thoughts, I can think the truth. Therefore I will have the right attitudes and actions.
Consider a glass of water. You have heard the saying, \u2018is the glass half full or half empty.\u2019 It is neither; it is entirely full, with half water and half air. The question then becomes, \u2018How do you get the air out of a glass?\u2019 By filling it with water. The same applies to our minds. How do you get rid of wrong and untrue thoughts? By filling your mind with true and right thoughts from God. The control of our thought life, then, comes by thinking God\u2019s thoughts with Him. Once we have our thoughts controlled by truth, then how we feel and act, our attitudes and actions will be under control. That is, controlled by God\u2019s Spirit which dwells within us. We are God\u2019s temple where He resides.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy
