Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast and journal. This is Day 42 of our Trek, and for the next few days, we are going ponder the science or concept of thinking big versus thinking small and how dramatically our thinking impacts us today and through eternity.
We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. As we end another week and start a new one, I like to reflect on what I was able to accomplish and look forward in anticipation to what I can accomplish in the next week. I ask myself, “What actions can I take to impact my world for good this coming week?” Many times our Trek is to just continue on what we are doing, to take one step after another, and to be faithful and consistent in doing what is right, just, and fair in every interaction or transaction that we have. Small incremental actions consistently practiced each day will have an enormous impact over time.
So let’s start up the trail today on our Wisdom-Trek to continue to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before and to leave a living legacy each day. As we start on the trail today we see the huge mountains before us. As we view these mountains we can look at them in one of two ways. We can say:
Today’s trek is about the science of thinking big versus thinking small. I call it a science because it has been proven continually that what we think about a situation, or indeed life, largely determines how it will turn out. Now, if you find yourself in a valley of despair at the moment and desire to scale to the mountain peaks, it may take some time. As with everything in life, we need to take it one step at a time. Given enough time, being persistent and consistent, we can even move mountains. An old Chinese Proverb puts it this way, So, regardless of where you are on your trek, start carrying away small stones, and soon the mountains will be moved.
As a person of faith, I recognize there is also clear evidence from Scripture that our thinking or faith has a major impact
