Realize Your Potential – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1780 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. 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. Proverbs 16:16 says, "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 Charles De Gaulle, and it is, “A person of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty, since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that you can realize your potential.”

Realize Your Potential

For most of us, we do not comprehend our true potential until the trials of life test us. However, if we take time to bask in the results of those trials, they will become attractive to us, and as such, we will not be discouraged or quit when difficulty knocks on our door. When we recognize that problems can help and improve us as a person and we come to grips with that fact, we can be prepared to face those difficult times.

So, while you are going about your daily trek of life and the trail becomes steep and troublesome, realize that you will see the benefits of those difficult times when you finally reach the summit. We can take comfort in realizing our potential and that God is traveling with us each step of the way. So, don’t give up or be discouraged; instead be happy that you are becoming a better representative of God’s image.

Philippians 1:6

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

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 our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
