Without Friends \\u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1787 of our Trek, and it\\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today\\u2019s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek 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 today\\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more 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 Zig Ziglar, and it is: A person who always says what they think is courageous \\u2014 and without friends.
Without Friends


There is a difference between being truthful and being brutally honest without discretion. Yes, we should be honest in all of our dealings, but we must also do everything in love. I caution you that it is not always wise to speak your mind, especially if it will cause harm to another person. You can speak the truth in love, if you must speak at all. Too often, when we speak our mind, it is without consideration of how our speech will impact the lives of others. It is not courageous to speak if what you say is harmful to others. It is just insensitive. Throughout God\\u2019s Word, it teaches us that we need to limit our speech, and when we speak, we speak words of wisdom. Having friends requires that you show yourself friendly. One facet of showing yourself to be a friend, is not always speaking what is on your mind. Instead, speak in such a manner that you encourage and love those who are your friends.

Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won\\u2019t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of \\u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\\u2019
