A Wise Person Seeks Counsel – Wisdom Unplugged

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 407 of our trek, and it is Thursday and time for our 2-3 minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom on Tuesday & Thursday. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget…

Today’s quote is from Larry Burkett, who tells us, “A wise man seeks much counsel…a fool listens to all of it.”

A truly wise person will seek out the counsel of others, especially for the major decisions of life. This is an advisable practice. The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, agreed with this when he wrote, “Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.”  Whenever possible you should have a trusted group of peers or associates within a small group or mastermind whom you can confer with about various areas of life, such as relationships, family issues, child rearing, business, health, and life planning. There is a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that you can gain through others that have more experience in certain areas of life. A word of caution though, not everyone you get advice from is qualified in all aspects that you seek guidance. Also, no one else on earth has the exact same circumstances that you do. What may have been good counsel a few years ago, may not be today, the world and times do change. So while you seek counsel from others, proceed with caution and apply only that which is applicable to you…and always compare it to the principles found in God’s Word. That’s a wrap of our Wisdom Unplugged for today.

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

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

1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
2. Love Unconditionally
3. Listen Intentionally
4. Learn Continuously
5. Lend to others Generously
6. Lead with Integrity
7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

This is Guthrie Chamberlain reminding you to Keep Moving Forward, Enjoy Your Journey, and Create a Great Day Every Day! See you tomorrow for Philosophy Friday!
