Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 1140 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Change Your Life Around. Adapted from a 1952 lecture by Neville Goddard.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The only work you are called upon to do is work on yourself. Start this work by observing your reactions to life. Remember, your future is not being developed; it already is. The time track is complete, as well as all of the events you can encounter. 

As you move up or down the level of your being, changes will occur in your life. You are now resting at a certain level. "Arise, take up your couch and walk," by breaking the threads of life that bind you to the state you are now in. Break these threads by changing your thoughts, for only as you rise within, will you find a corresponding change without.

Listen to episode 1139 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Worries & Anxious Thoughts. Edited and adapted from: Your Right to Be Happy by Frank & Marion Van Eps.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: About nothing be anxious." THESE words from the Apostle Paul are not in opposition to earnest and determined effort towards a lofty goal; rather they put us in the best frame of mind for effective action, that state which is most conducive to successful endeavors. 

“About nothing be anxious” is a statement that is opposed to faintheartedness, whether it arises from the consciousness of our own limitations, from a distrust of ourselves, or from want of trust in the divine. It is fear that leads to anxiety; anxiety, to faint-heartedness; and faint-heartedness, to failure.

Listen to episode 1138 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Sacred Wisdom from the Kybalion. Adapted from the Kybalion, published in 1912 by the Yogi Publication Society.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is always an action and reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking; manifested in all of the airs and phenomena of the Universe. Suns, worlds, people, animals, plants, minerals, forces, energy, mind and matter, yes, even Spirit, manifests this Principle. The Principle manifests in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life history of all things; and finally in the mental states of men and women.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Our condition largely determines the quality of our thought and action — and it is, therefore, of the first importance in winning success that we keep ourselves well and in the right mental and spiritual mood. If our spiritual philosophy be true we impart something of ourselves to every object we come in contact with. Hence our physical and mental conditions must be imparted to our work — and when we are sick or mentally or spiritually unbalanced, our work must necessarily partake of our imperfection.

Listen to episode 1137 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Pathway to a Spiritual Life. Edited & adapted from The Way of Peace by James Allen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Without its aid, you cannot grow into the divine state, and the fadeless glories and joys of Truth will remain hidden from you.

Meditation is the intense dwelling, in thought, upon an idea or theme, with the object of thoroughly comprehending it. And whatsoever you constantly meditate upon, you will not only come to understand, but grow more into its likeness, for it will become incorporated into your very being, will become, in fact, your very self.

Listen to episode 1136 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Achieve Limitless Wealth. Adapted from the work of Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We assume importance and become a power in the world, just as soon as it is found that we stand for something; that we are not for sale; that we will not lease our ideals for salary, for any amount of money or for any influence or position; that we will not lend our name to anything which we cannot endorse.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I can do as I please. And I can always refuse. Hence I know that I am responsible for my actions. I will accept this responsibility and play my role honorably. I will not never seek excuses for my weakness. I know I do not understand all the secret springs of the acts of others, hence I will be charitable in my judgments. I know that what I know is to what I don’t know as the number one is to infinity, hence I will try always to be teachable. I know that the past cannot be changed, hence I will make the best of it; and that I cannot control the future, hence I will not worry about it.

Listen to episode 1135 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living in the Great Eternal Now. Adapted from How to Stay Young by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is only in the now that you can live. You can live neither in the past nor in the future. You may think of the past or the future, but you can live only in the now. To train the mind to concentrate the whole of attention upon the great eternal now is to develop the consciousness of the "isness" of the now, and to consciously feel that its purpose is to eliminate the consciousness of age completely. 

It is not possible for the mind to feel that it is growing old, so long as it feels that it lives in the now, and that the now is. The now is eternal; that is, the now eternally is now. The now never ceases to be now; therefore to live in the now is to continue to be now, what you are now.

Listen to episode 1134 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living the Optimistic Life. Edited and adapted from Helen Keller’s essay on optimism.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let it be remembered that the world’s philosophers — the Sayers of the Word — were optimists; so also are the men and women of action and achievement—the Doers of the Word. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. 

The optimist believes, attempts, achieves. They stand always in the sunlight. Some days the wonderful, the inexpressible, arrives and shines upon them, and they are there to welcome it. The soul of the optimist meets its own and beats a glad march to every new discovery, every fresh victory over difficulties, every addition to human knowledge and happiness.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Each of us stands unique and alone, in a world where we comprehend within ourselves the mysteries of the universe. The riddle of life is not to be found in nature but in your own life. There are no problems without. Every problem that presents itself for solution is to be found in the life of you. Solve the inner problem, and the outer becomes revealed.
