Podcast Excerpt: Why am I here? Where am I going? What’s the point of it all? These are eternal questions asked by every man and woman who has ever lived. The true destination of human kind, the proper end of our being and life, lies beyond the present world in an order of things which are supernatural; and it is absolutely necessary that you should know this, and have supreme regard for this fact, in order that you may not live in vain.

Listen to episode 941 of the Inspirational Living podcast: A Key to the Life Worthwhile. Edited and adapted from “The Message of New Thought” by Abel Allen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is not built to any fixed plan. One ideal will not suffice for all lives. Individuals cannot follow the same guide, because all persons differ and the orbits of their respective lives cannot be the same. Each person is endowed with some distinct and superior quality. The real purpose of your life should be to develop that gift and bring it into activity and expression.

We must, therefore, begin with the proposition that life is an individual function, a problem for each person to work out in the manner best suited to their own individuality. Your life must be shaped by your own ideal. It must follow your own line of cleavage.

Listen to episode 940 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Sleep Deep & Well. Edited and adapted from Peace, Power, and Plenty by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is a great art to be able to shut the gates of the mind on retiring to bed, to control oneself, to put oneself in tune with the Infinite, in sympathy with those about you, and in harmony with the world; to expel from the mind everything which jars or irritates (all malice, envy, and jealousy, the enemies of our peace and happiness) before you go to sleep.

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 The Pathway of Roses by Christian D. Larson. Listen to the full series by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/inspirationalpodcasts/

Podcast Excerpt: We are searching for pathways to a beautiful life. But often we don’t know where to begin, and what guideposts we should use to navigate our journey. The first thing to do is to recognize the great truth that every individual can live their own life exactly as they wish to. You are the real master of your own existence, and it is you who may determine how perfect and how beautiful that existence is to be.

Listen to episode 939 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Life is a Mission - What is Yours?. Edited & adapted from The Aim of Life by Philip Stafford Moxom.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is a mission. Every other definition of life is false, and leads all who accept it astray. Religion, science, philosophy, though still at variance upon many points, all agree on this: that every existence is an aim.

It is the high distinction of humanity that we are capable of living with an aim — that is, with a purpose which, reaching through all our lives, unifies it, and gives it directness and force.

Listen to episode 938 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Truth (The Simple Truth About Life). Edited and adapted from The Power of Truth by William George Jordan.

Podcast Excerpt: Truth is the rock foundation of every great character. It is loyalty to what is right, as we see it. It is the courageous living of our lives in harmony with our ideals. It is always — power. Truth ever defies a full definition. Like electricity, it can only be explained by noting its manifestation. It is the compass of the soul, the guardian of conscience, the final touchstone of right. Truth is the revelation of an ideal; but it is also an inspiration to REALIZE that ideal, a constant impulse to live it.

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 Mightier than Circumstance by Frank B. Whitney, published in 1935

Podcast Excerpt: To live in eternity means to live in that state of consciousness in which we see all things from the standpoint of eternal and permanent values. The person who has learned to live in eternity sees the events of the day only as they have bearing upon their eternal consciousness. The value of this consciousness lies in the fact that events ordinarily considered important become insignificant.

Listen to episode 937 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Follow these Rules and Wealth is Guaranteed. Edited and Adapted from Success and How to Win It by B.F. Austin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: No one has success until they have an abounding life. This is made up of the many-fold activity of energy, enthusiasm, and gladness. It is to spring up to meet the day with a thrill at being alive. It is to go forth to meet the morning in an ecstasy of joy. It is to realize the oneness of humanity in true spiritual sympathy. It is, indeed, that which one IS; not that which you do or which you have.

Listen to episode 936 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Develop a Powerful Personality. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Personality by Clare Tree Major.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Review the life of any great individual. You will find that their success was the result, not only of careful study and of perseverance, but, more than all, of the subtle influence of personal magnetism. They succeeded because their personality convinced people that they were sincere, that they were strong, someone who could be relied upon. Without a well-developed personality, their good qualities would have lain unnoticed, and they would have been only another in the struggling, discouraged thousands.

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 Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1920.

Podcast Excerpt: Life is a paradox. The true object of life is not the attainment of happiness, but if we attain the true object of life, we actually do find happiness. Those who are ignorant of life's true purpose and who seek happiness high and low, year after year, fail to find it. Like a will-o'-the-wisp, it forever eludes them. On the other hand, those who recognize the true object of life and follow it, attain happiness without seeking for it.
