Today we are recording our podcast/journal from our studio at Home 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Springtime in the Carolina’s is nice, and it is great to be able to get outside some. In late May, Paula and I spent a beautiful day at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. If you are ever in that area, it is well worth the time to spend a day or two there.
Each day, when is it applicable, I will share stories and personal life experiences as we trek together. If you are interested in getting to know us better, and have not done so already, please check out our website Wisdom-Trek.com/About Wisdom-Trek.
Today, we are continuing to consider what tools or equipment we need in order to learn, gain wisdom, and enjoy our Wisdom-Trek.
On day 2 of our Trek, I challenged you to visualize your life as a wheel or bicycle tire, with love being the hub of that wheel and the remaining tools or attributes making up the spokes stemming from a perfectly round hub. So far we have inserted the spokes of joy, peace and patience.
I also used a second analogy of love being your backpack for our trek and each of the attributes as tools we need for success. Whichever one you can visualize the best please utilize it. I also encourage you to work on strengthening these attributes in your life.
I have provided tools to assist in these areas, which can be found on the journal for day 2 or on our Free Resources webpage at Wisdom-Trek.com/resources.
If you have not taken the time to listen to the previous podcast episodes, I would encourage you to do so. During the first two or three weeks of our podcast/journal the nuggets of wisdom that we consume will build on each other as we lay the foundation of living an abundant life while creating a living legacy.
The remaining spokes in our wheel (or my second analogy the tools in our backpack) are kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These attributes are referred to in the Bible as the “Fruit of the Spirit,” and as we cultivate this fruit it will grow in our lives as we build the foundation to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In doing so, we will establish the framework in our lives that will truly allow us to “Live Long and Prosper.”
If we use the analogy of farming, a healthy and abundant harvest of any kind is dependent on proper nourishment. In the same manner, if we expect positive results and habits in our lives, then we must cultivate our lives physically, emotionally, educationally, and spiritually. Only then can we expect our lives to produce an abundance of good habits and traits.
I encourage you to take the 9-Tools Self-Assessment to see which attributes in your life need a little more nourishment...
