A Powerful Vision – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1863 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s 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’s 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’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from Rosabeth Moss Kanter, and it is: A powerful vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.
A Powerful Vision


To accomplish much at all in life, we need a vision. That vision must be powerful enough to allow a plan to be designed to move forward towards that vision. The plan must be detailed and compelling enough to foster execution because vision without execution is just a hallucination. The result must become an appeal that will enable you to better yourself and become more than you were previously. In my role caring for aging parents, I have seen first-hand the unfortunate side effects of advancing dementia and Parkinson’s disease, which causes very realistic hallucinations. They can cause significant fear where the person is in fear of their lives, and at other times, the hallucinations are people familiar to them but have long since died. The visions that come from age-related issues are not real but are not all that much different than those who have a vision for the future but are unwilling to invest the resources necessary for those visions to become a reality. Both of them are outside the scope of reality. If you want to see your dreams and visions come true, they must be powerful enough to force you to plan and then execute that plan to the end. The vision must also go beyond the status quo to the improvement of yourself and those you impact. You must reach new heights to be all that God intended you to be. God will guide you, but you must step out with your vision.

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
