Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 704 of our trek, and it is time for our Mindshift Monday series. Wisdom-Trek’s primary focus is to assist you in creating your living legacy. Creating your living legacy can only be accomplished by gaining wisdom in many areas of life. You can only gain wisdom by changing what you allow to go into your mind which is a result of changing the way you think.
In other words, to create your living legacy you must choose to be in a continual mode of Mindshift. It is easy to get stuck in a mindset that your current circumstances cannot be changed.

Our Mindshift Monday podcast and journal will provide you practical ways to make a mind-shift to a rich and satisfying life.
