Listen to episode 990 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Becoming a Creative Writer | Learning to See Again. Adapted from Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The genius keeps, for all their days, the vividness and intensity of interest that a sensitive child feels in its expanding world. Many of US keep this wide-eyed interest well into adolescence; but very few mature men and women are fortunate enough to preserve it in their routine lives. 

Most of us are only intermittently aware, even in youth, and the occasions on which adults see and feel and hear (with every sense alert) become rarer and rarer with the passage of the years.

Listen to episode 989 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Creating the Best Attitude of Mind. Adapted from Thinking for Results by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Every moment therefore should be filled with contentment and perfect satisfaction. And every moment should also be filled with a strong desire for still greater achievements. In such a mental state (where contentment and aspiration are combined), we shall find life to be a continual feast, each course being more delicious than the last. We shall also find such a life to be the path to perpetual growth and continuous joy.

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 work of Neville Goddard.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Prayer is an art and requires practice. The first requirement is a controlled imagination. Ostentation and vain repetitions are foreign to prayer. Its exercise requires tranquility and peace of mind.

The ceremonies that are customarily used in prayer are mere superstitions and have been invented to give prayer an air of solemnity. Those who do practice the art of prayer are often ignorant of the laws that control it. They attribute the results obtained to the ceremonies and mistake the letter for the spirit.

Listen to episode 988 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Have Success at Any Age. Edited and adapted from “Self-Control: It’s Kingship & Majesty” by William George Jordan.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If we honestly seek to live our best at all times, that determination is visible in every moment of our living, and no trifle in our lives can be too insignificant to reflect this principle of living. The sun illuminates a fallen leaf by the roadside as impartially as a towering mountain peak in the Alps. Every drop of water in the ocean is an epitome of the chemistry of the whole ocean; every drop is subject to precisely the same laws as dominate the united infinity of billions of drops that make that miracle of Nature we call the Sea.

Listen to episode 987 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Building Greatness from Little Things. Edited and adapted from The Royal Path of Life by T.L. Haines & L.W. Yaggy.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The little things in life are not to be dismissed. Every day is a little life; and our whole life is but a day repeated. Those who dare lose a day, are dangerously profligate; those who dare misspend a day, are desperate.

Springs are little things, but they are sources of large streams. Nails and pegs are little things, but they hold parts of large buildings together. Zeros and ones are little things, but without them we would have no computers. A word, a look, a frown, all are little things, but powerful for good or evil.

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 Vedanta Philosophy by Swami Vivekananda, Published 1899.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What question has been asked a greater number of times; what idea has sent people more to search the universe for an answer; what question is nearer and dearer to the human heart; what question is more inseparably connected with our existence, than this one, the immortality of the human soul? 

It has been the theme of poets, and of sages, of priests and of prophets; kings on the throne have discussed it; beggars in the street have dreamt of it. The best of human kind have approached it, and the worst of human kind have always hoped for it. The interest in the theme has not died yet, nor will it die, so long as human nature exists.

Listen to episode 986 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Getting Started with a Purpose Driven Life. Edited and adapted from “On the Threshold” by Theodore Thornton Munger.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Individuals may be divided in many ways, but there is no clearer cut division than between those who have a purpose and those who are without one. It is the character of the purpose that at last determines the character of the person — for a purpose may be good or bad, high or low. It is the strength and definiteness of the purpose that determines the measure of success.

Listen to episode 985 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Motivation to Make Your Life Extraordinary. Adapted from Concentration: The Road To Success by Henry Harrison Brown.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember to always mind your own business. Any argument or antagonism, is minding another person’s business. All persons have an equal right as you to think and act as prompted from within. In giving them this right in your thought, you cannot resist anything they do. You will think and act your thought freely. And since Goodness, Truth, and Love, are realities and are all, when you affirm these you will be powerful.

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 Thoughts are Things by Prentice Mulford, published in 1908..

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You ask, "What is the aim of life?" In a sense, you cannot aim your own life. There is a destiny that aims it -- a law which governs and carries it. To what? To an ever-increasing and boundless capacity for happiness as your power increases, and increase it must. You cannot stop growing, despite all appearances to the contrary. 

The pain you have suffered has been through that same growth of the spirit pressing you harder and harder against what caused you misery, so that at last you should take that pain as a proof that you were on some wrong path, which you must leave behind as soon as possible.

Listen to episode 985 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Cultivating the Power of Imagination. Edited and adapted from Secrets of Mental Supremacy by W. R. C. LATSON, published in 1913.

Inspirational Podcast Transcript:The imagination requires more than mere perception. The things perceived must be remembered. A thing that we have forgotten — lost out of the conscious mind — cannot be used as material for an act of imagination.

The things perceived and remembered must be grouped and associated into clusters; so that when we wish to imagine a certain picture, we will have a vast amount of material in our mind from which to select materials for that picture.

In cultivating the power of imagination, then, we must begin by educating perception, memory, and association — for (and here is my definition of imagination) imagination is merely a combination of perception, memory, and association with initiative: with will.
