Welcome to Day 1445 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomStay Focused – Wisdom UnpluggedWisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1445 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of 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  German Proverb, and it is:    He who begins too much accomplishes little.     


Stay FocusedIt is so easy in today’s busy and hectic world to get caught up in the vicious cycle of trying to accomplish too much. We start too many projects, we volunteer for too many commitments, and we get involved in too many obligations. The result of this, we end up not accomplishing much at all. We have dozens of projects left undone. We disappoint others who are counting on our assistance. We end up feeling like a failure. A wise person will know their limitations and only commit to obligations that they are sure they can finish. It is much better not to start a project or decline an invitation than to over-commit ourselves. Many times failure comes when we are not solely focused on a limited number of obligations. In fact, it is better to begin a few projects, and successfully finish them than to be involved with many and never finish them. We can accomplish more when we focus on one task now with all of our attention.  Once we achieve that one task, then we can move onto the next. We can only focus on one thing at a time. Do that well, and then move on.  Don’t fall into the miserable trap of over-commitment, which leads to the cycle of failure. Begin a task with all your focus, finish that task, and then move on. It is then you will see an abundance of continual success cascade over you.


Philippians 3:12-14 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%203%3A12%2D14&version=NLT)


I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote. If you would like free access to my database of over 11,000 inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com. Just as you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, 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 1444 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day’s trek will be downloaded automatically.


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.
