Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 787 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
The Gift of Encouragement – Wisdom Unplugged


Thank you for joining us for our five days per week, wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 787 of our trek and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged.  This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit additional content for today’s trek.  Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today.  So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from John O'Donohue and it is:  One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own.
The Gift of Encouragement
Similar to the attribute of kindness, we all flourish when we are encouraged by others.  With this in mind, we should make it a habit to encourage everyone that we meet each day with genuine sincerity.  Encourage on a regular basis so that when others describe you as a person they will use the verb encourager.  The most meaningful and precious gifts which we can give to each other cost us nothing monetarily. Instead, they are multiplied each time they are given.  When you encourage others, it helps them to fulfill their God-given potential for their lives and also for yours.  The writer of Hebrews encourages us in the same manner in Hebrews 10:24-25 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.  And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

If you are already an encourager, continue to do so as we are told in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged. If you enjoy these quotes, I have created and published a searchable database of over 10,000 quotes that I have collected for many years.  If you would like free access to my database of inspirational quotes the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.

Just as you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'  If you would like to listen to any of our past 786 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most importantly I am your friend as I serve you in through this Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal each day.

As we take this Trek of life together, let us always:

Live Abundantly (Fully)
Love Unconditionally
Listen Intentionally
Learn Continuously
Lend to others Generously
Lead with Integrity
Leave a Living Legacy Each Day
