Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: “Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, “I am of no value”, is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought — so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. As it is often said, you are your own master.”

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 Creed of the Dauntless by Frank B. Whitney, published in 1931.

Podcast Excerpt: Is the kingdom of heaven right here, right now? Is it right where you are? Yes and no. It is not the world of fog and shadow, pain and disease, arguments and misunderstandings, bitterness and war, in which you sometimes find yourself engulfed. It’s a place of heavenly rest and peace that exists back of all this world of turmoil. Let me give you an illustration from the natural world.

Listen to episode 968 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Joy of Doing | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from A Book of Friendly Thoughts by Nixon Waterman.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Half-way, half-hearted doings never amount to much. Battles are not won with flags at half-mast — they are run up to the very top and waved as far toward the heavens as possible.

If we lack enthusiasm, we are almost as certain to fail of achieving an end. A listless, lackadaisical spirit may get on all right, so long as the path of life is all on a level or down grade, but when it comes to hill-climbing, and the real experiences of life that develop character, we are likely to give up the contest and surrender the prize.

Listen to episode 967 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Christmas & the Secret of Happiness. Adapted from a book by the same title by Arnold Bennett.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Children divide their adult acquaintances into two categories — those who sympathize with them in this bizarre and trying adventure called life; and those who don't. The second category is the much larger of the two. Very many people belong to it who think that they belong to the first. They may deceive themselves, but they cannot deceive a child.

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 Crown of Individuality by William George Jordan, published in 1909.

Podcast Excerpt: For worldly success, fame, social prestige, laurel-crowned triumph, the inn is illuminated; welcoming music fills the air; and the inn doors are thrown wide open. But the struggle towards sublime attainment, heroic effort to better the world, simple consecration of soul to a noble ideal, means the manger — and a lonely pathway lit only by the torch of truth held high in the hand of purpose.

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.
