Portals of Discovery – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1781 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 James Joyce, and it is, "A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery."

Portals Of Discovery

Most of the time, we do not make mistakes on purpose, but a person of genius realizes that mistakes are part of life as if we did make them of our own volition.  Knowing that mistakes will happen, instead of allowing them to derail or destroy us or our plans, mistakes or errors provide us with an opportunity to learn and to discover why something didn’t work out as planned.  Once we peer through that discovery portal, we can begin with the added knowledge that we learned from our mistakes. So never allow mistakes and failures to stop your progress. Instead, let them be the stepping stones required to continue towards your pursuits. It is then that you are a person of genius.

James 3:17-18

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.  And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.

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.
