Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 366 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Finishing Well - Year 1 is Complete

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 366 of our trek. Today we complete one full year of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for coming along with me each day of our trek. I really appreciate it.  Today on our trek, let’s explore what it means to finish well.

Before we get started on today’s trek, this will be the last day, at least for a while, that I will remind you that the initial release of our 100 page Your Life Plan Blueprint manual/workbook is available for download at Wisdom-Trek.com on the left-hand sidebar of any page. Or, if you are listening on your smartphone, you can text the word LifePlan (with no spaces) to 44222, and Your Life Plan Blueprint will be delivered to you in an email. The manual/workbook is free during the month of May, so I would encourage you to become one of our early adopters so that all updates will be available to you for free also. By the end of 2016, we will have a complete web/mobile version available of Your Life Plan Blueprint.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. With Memorial Day being honored in the United States this week, it provided an extra day of cleaning and preparation work in and around The Big House. I was able to finish cleaning the garage and applying polyurethane to the 2 4-foot gliders. Overall, it was a very productive weekend.

Starting tomorrow, June 1st, the second season of Wisdom-Trek begins, and we are changing up the format. We will be releasing new Wisdom-Trek themed episodes three days a week, which will be Motivation Mondays, Wisdom Wednesdays, and Philosophy Fridays. The episodes may be slightly longer and less scripted than in the past but will still be short enough to consume easily in one session. Making this adjustment will allow us to invest the time needed to release the Wisdom-Trek monthly journals, create the online version of Your Life Plan Blueprint, and roll out our new platform Christian Podcasting Network. We also have additional exciting projects in the planning stages that I will announce later.

For today, it is time to head out on our last day of season 1 of Wisdom-Trek as we reflect on the trail of:

Finishing Well – Year 1 is Complete

There are times in life when we reach reflection points that give us an opportunity to pause, to ponder, and to reflect. As we have now completed the first full year of Wisdom-Trek and as I approach a milestone birthday of 60 this August, I feel that I am reaching one of those reflection points in life. It gives me an opportunity to philosophize a bit. With today’s advancements in health care, life sciences, and nutritional information, it is possible to live well beyond the century mark. I have stated many times, God willing, that I would like to live to 125. If God does permit this, then I am just approaching the half-time of my Super Bowl of life.

As I approach this half-time, I am certainly compelled to finish the first half well, but more importantly, I desire to be prepared to succeed in the second half of life with a far greater impact. I am compelled to build on the legacy that I have started and live a legacy far beyond that in the second half of life.

Although it is important to rest, relax, and reenergize during half-time, what is more important is to review the first half, to strategize, to plan, and then be prepared to execute well in the second half. That is one of the reasons that I have created and will be focusing a significant amount of time building out the online web/mobile version of Your Life Plan Blueprint.  This
