Listen to episode 966 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Originality & Living Up to Your Potential. Edited and adapted from Stepping-Stones to Success by Horace D. Hitchcock.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In each of us there should be developed a liking for some one thing that brings us the thrill of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is, indeed, a great tonic. You may drive yourself to do good things by sheer force of will, concentration, and so forth, but enthusiasm is a power which makes things seem easy, when in reality they are not. Enthusiasm in work is inspiration, joy, and gladness. Nothing great is ever achieved without it. Enthusiasm is the root of original creation.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from the book “Message of New Thought” by Abel Allen, published in 1914.

Podcast Excerpt: From the great soul within, we sometime feels the surging of an inexpressible power — a restless feeling, welling up within us, seeking recognition and expression. We are all conscious at times of this divine unrest, a striving force within, a cosmic urge prompting us to effort, pushing us onward and upward to something greater. It is the great soul within seeking to find its true expression. It is the divine calling to the divine within us.

Listen to episode 964 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Simple Secret to Increased Vitality. Edited & adapted from Vitality Supreme by Bernarr Macfadden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The great need of today is the same as it ever was. We need stronger, more capable men; healthier, superior women. Force is supreme — the driver of all humankind. And it is force that stands back of efficiency, for efficiency, first of all, means power. It comes from power, and power either comes directly from inheritance or it is developed by an intelligent application of the laws that control the culture of the physical body.

Listen to episode 963 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Key to Love | Spirituality & Mystical Wisdom. Adapted from The Key to Health, Wealth & Love by Julia Seton.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: THE reason we do not have love is because we do not know how to get it. Everyone in this world does exactly the best as he or she knows how. When we know better, we will do better.

Life as an initiation requires us to learn how to live alone and not be lonely. But it should not take anyone a lifetime to get this lesson; the whole lesson of life may be in one hour's passing — not dragged through endless years of effort and strife.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from On Life’s Threshold by Charles Wagner, published in 1905.

Podcast Excerpt: We enter into life without having an awareness that we are alive — as do the trees, the flowers, and the bees, which all possess life, but not the realization of it. An infant does not know that he or she exists. They are, as it were, unconscious. It never occurs to them to ask whence they came. But the time arrives when the child perceives that they are here and that they are somebody. An irresistible instinct compels them to reflect on themselves and on the world around them.

Listen to episode 962 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Today is a New Day | Uplifting Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Growth in Silence, the Undertone of Life by Susanna Cocroft.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What a breeze of pure exhilaration there is when we open the eastern windows of the morning to the new day! The new day! Its surface is unruffled! Yesterday has gone into the west — only the thoughts of that day which make for eternity have been traced upon its pages. The mantle of rest and silence has tenderly covered it, while the night has borne it hours away! The soft night wind has lulled it to dreamless, lasting sleep.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many people give up their work if they are told they can't succeed. Confront them with a difficulty and they seek the path of least resistance. It is the doing of things by half that is the ruination of millions. The world is crowded with people who don't do all they can. Half-hearted success is whole-hearted failure. Half-hearted work gives us half-hearted people who can neither live half a life nor make half a success.

The individual who puts only half their energy into their work finds that it is the other half that counts. The one who knows only half the things about their business finds that all the profits are in the other half. The one who only half tries (no matter what they are doing), also finds, when it is too late, that everything worthwhile is in the other half.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga by William Walker Atkinson, published in 1906.

Podcast Excerpt: Throughout the operations of the Law of Karma, the manifestation of Perfect Justice is apparent. We are not punished for our sins, as the current beliefs have it, but instead we are punished by our sins. We are not rewarded for our good acts, but receive our reward through and by the characteristics, qualities, and affinities that we have acquired — by reason of having performed these good acts in previous lives. We are our own judges and executioners.

Listen to episode 960 of the Inspirational Living podcast: A Thanksgiving of Gratitude, Hope, Charity and Joy. Edited and adapted from The Royal Path of Life by T.L. Haines & L.W. Yaggy.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Nothing tenders the heart, and opens the gushing fountain of love, more than the exercise of gratitude. Like the showers of spring that cause flowers to rise from seeds that have long lain dormant, tears of gratitude awaken pleasurable sensations unknown to those who have never been forced from the sunshine of prosperity into the cold shade of adversity — where no warmth is felt but that of kindness; no light enjoyed but that of charity.
