Laugh to Forget – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on trek.com/wisdom-trek-podcast/day-1992">Day 1992 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 Tom Bodett, and it is, “An optimist laughs to forget; the pessimist forgets to laugh.”

Laugh to Forget

I realize that different people have different personalities and perspectives. Some are naturally inclined to view life through the lens of the past, others through the present, and still others through the perceived future. Some people are more pessimistic while others are optimistic. While I understand that part of a person’s outlook may be genetic in nature, or shaped by their past, we all have a choice to view each situation in life negatively or positively. As I have mentioned previously, I am an eternal optimist, and I will reframe just about everything I experience or encounter through a positive lens and mindset. I don’t know how to view life in any other manner. I must admit though when things are rough in life, I must choose that I will look for the good and benefits of every encounter, whether it appears to be good or bad. While we are in a situation, we don’t fully comprehend at the time if the situation will ultimately be good or bad. Many times, God permits us to go through trials and tribulations that are difficult to shape and mold us into His image. So, choose to laugh in every situation, and you will soon find that every situation is an opportunity to laugh. Life in this physical realm is short whether you live to 10 years or 150 years, so learn to laugh at life. And the road you are on will appear much smoother. trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Laugh-To-Forget-2-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206"> Psalm 126 A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy! Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
