Podcast Excerpt: Spiritual knowledge is the only thing that can destroy our miseries forever. Any other knowledge satisfies wants only for a time. It is only with the knowledge of the spirit that the faculty of want is annihilated forever. So helping someone spiritually is the highest help that can be given to them.

Listen to episode 946 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Courtesy. Edited and adapted from How to be Happy Though Civil by E.J. Hardy.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: How seldom does one see the well-rounded man, the well-rounded woman, what the ancient Greeks called the harmonious one — that is, someone developed equally in all parts of their nature. In our modern age, one of the areas most often overlooked is that of good manners.

This episode is edited and adapted from The Philosophy of Despair by David Starr Jordan, published in 1902.

Podcast Excerpt: Very few young men or young women of strength and feeling fail to pass through a period of Pessimism. With some it is merely an affectation caught from the cheap literature of decadence. With others, Pessimism has deeper roots and finds its expression in the poetry or philosophy of real despair. This adolescent Pessimism cannot be wrought into action. The mood disappears when real action is demanded.

Listen to episode 945 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Key to Health, Wealth & Love. Edited and adapted from The Key to Health, Wealth & Love by Julia Seton.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: At some time or another in our lives, we all come to a place where two or more paths open up for us, and we stand at the cross-roads undecided which way to go. There is no friend near to whom we can seek advice. It is here, that the person who has developed the power of meditation (of inner communion), can rest awhile and find within themselves the solution to all difficulties.

Listen to episode 944 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Feel Younger Again. Edited and adapted from Turn Back the Years by Harry J. Gardener.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If most human beings only knew it, the actual price of youth is the lowest of any "bargain" in all the markets of the world. The purchase price is merely self- analysis and self-change. Why then, one asks, is youth so often missed, so often hungrily yearned for, when it can be so easily obtained?

Well, the fault lies in the state of mind of this age — the hurry, the pell-mell rush for success and a thousand other goals. The purpose of today’s talk is therefore to make you stop and think. For intelligent, concentrated thought, and consideration of one's self are the finest helps obtainable.

This episode is edited and adapted from The Hidden Power by Thomas Troward, published in 1921.

Podcast Excerpt: We often do not sufficiently recognize the truth of Walt Whitman's pithy saying, “I am not all contained between my hat and my boots.” We forget the two-fold nature of the “I AM” — that it is both the manifested and the un-manifested, the universal and the individual. By losing sight of this truth, we surround ourselves with limitations. We see only part of the self, and then we are surprised that the part fails to do the work of the whole.

Listen to episode 943 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Karma & The Ultimate Goal of Life. Edited and adapted from a lecture by Swami Vivekenanda.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ultimately, we find that misery and happiness are equal factors in the formation of character. Good and evil have an equal share, and in some instances misery is a greater teacher than happiness. In studying the great characters that the world has produced, I dare say that (in the vast majority of cases), it was misery that taught more than happiness; it was poverty that taught more than wealth; and it was blows that brought out the inner fire, more than praise.

Listen to episode 942 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Being the Best at Anything. Edited and adapted from Up and Doing by C. P. McDonald.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Try enthusiasm on your job. It is the greatest of all pre-requisites of Success. It leads to better things — to the coveted, attainable prizes we strive for.

It is enthusiasm that makes us win — achieve — advance — become doers — take the initiative — the bold play. It makes the gray day a good day — the dull day a happy day. It points the way to opportunity — of fresh, new inspiration.
