Action Builds Confidence – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1898 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So 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 Norman Vincent Peale, and it is, "Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different actions or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."
Action Builds Confidence
To confidently move forward in life, you must take action. I realize that certain people are more action-oriented, but when action is not taken, our minds will start dwelling on what may go wrong, which causes additional fear and anxiety. Inaction will cause a downward spiral which is challenging to escape from. On the other hand, your confidence will grow, and your worries will subside if you take action.
Taking action does not guarantee that all will succeed or that you will be free from adverse situations, but you will still be moving. Yes, just like a sailboat must continually adjust the sails to the prevailing winds, and a jet plan must constantly adapt its heading, when you take action, it is much easier to change your course as needed. There is no reason to be fearful when God is directing us. Even if it may be somewhat flawed, any action is better than no action. So get up, take action, and move confidently forward.
Hebrews 11:32-35
How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the prophets.  By faith, these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. Women received their loved ones back again from death.
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
