Welcome to Day 1822 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Opportunities in Difficulties \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1822 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. So 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 Harry Truman, and it is: A pessimist makes difficulties of his opportunities, and an optimist makes opportunities of his difficulties.
Opportunities In Difficulties


Our outlook and mindset highly influence how we view and function in life. If we loath difficulties and grind to a halt every time we face them, we will never make much progress in life. Opportunities are always full of difficulties. The bigger the opportunity, the greater the difficulties will be. As always, we have a choice. We can be hindered when faced with opportunities or take advantage of them, regardless of their difficulties.

Interestingly, in both situations, the opportunities are the same; it is all in how we view them. So since we do have a choice, life becomes much more enjoyable and worth living if we consider all opportunities from an optimistic mindset. Since we are created to be imagers of God, we should see every opportunity that God brings our way as an opportunity to build His kingdom. Let\u2019s do so to the best of our abilities for His honor and glory.

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone\u2014especially to those in the family of faith.

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
