Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 874 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How to Attract the Good Things of Life. Edited and adapted from The Ideal Made Real by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When things are not to your liking, like them as they are. In other words, while you are working for greater things, make friends with the lesser things, and they will help you to reach your goal.

The person who is dissatisfied with things as they are, and discontented because things are not to their liking, is standing in their own way. We cannot get away from present conditions so long as we antagonize those conditions — because we are held in bondage to that which we resist.

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from How to Be Happy by Grace Gold, published in 1893.

Podcast Excerpt: There is a phrase we often hear when standing up for what is right: "Consider the consequences!" That is the devil's argument. Leave consequences to God, but do the right. Even if friends abandon you, do the right. Be genuine, real, sincere, and up-right.

The world's maxim is to trim your sails and yield to circumstances. But if you would do any good for the world, you must be made of sterner stuff, and help make your times rather than be made by them.

Listen to episode 873 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Amazing Power of Your Sub-Conscious Mind. Edited and adapted from Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A good way of starting the use of the sub-conscious mind is to hold the problem in your mind just as you are going to sleep. There must not be any attempt made to solve the problem or worry over it.

Instead, the main facts of the issue, on both sides, must be organized, and the case presented to the sub-conscious mind in much the same way as you would place it before a lawyer. Having done this...

Listen to episode 872 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Use Your Inner Power. Edited and adapted from Find and Use Your Inner Power by Emmet Fox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The moment you catch yourself thinking a negative thought, you should reject it instantly. Immediately switch your attention to something positive, something rejuvenating. Do not stop to say “good- bye” to the error thought, but break the connection instantly, and occupy your mind with good; you will be surprised how many difficulties will begin to melt away out of your life.

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from On the Heights by Christian D. Larson, published in 1908.

Podcast Excerpt: When we transcend the world of things, and begin to live on the borderland of the splendor and immensity of the cosmic world, we discover that the vision of our soul was true. Those lofty realms that we have dreamed of so often, and so long, are dreams no more. We find those realms to be real. The prophetic visions of our sublime moments are fulfilled. And our joy is great beyond measure.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Blessed is the woman and man who really knows what they want, and who bravely sets themselves on a course to get it.

Listen to episode 870 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Say Goodbye to Your Fears. Edited and adapted from Peace, Power, and Plenty by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The worst waste of energy in human life is caused by that fatal habit of anticipating evil, of fearing what the future has in store for us. And under no circumstances can the fear or worry be justified by the situation, for it is always an imaginary one, utterly groundless and without foundation. What we fear is invariably something that has not yet happened. It does not exist; hence is not a reality.

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from All’s Right with the World by Charles B. Newcomb.

Podcast Excerpt: We have heard much of the so called "conflict" between science and religion. But there can be no disharmony between true science and true religion. The conflict is always between false science and religion, or between science and "superstition," which is false religion.

Listen to episode 869 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Make the Most Your Opportunities. Edited and adapted from As Others (Ithers) See Us by John Thomas Huddle.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Some people seem to be preordained to be lucky and successful, regardless of what they do, and others preordained to be failures, no matter how hard they try. This is all wrong. There is no such thing as luck. The law of every kingdom of the universe is "as we sow, so shall we reap."

Listen to episode 868 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Secret of the Great Life | Spiritual Podcasts. Edited and adapted from In the Light of the Spirit by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We are not here to drift with the stream or to fold our arms passively and say that we will let the best come to pass. The truth is, that if there be anything we want, we must work for it. If we wish to make life ideal, we must make it so ourselves. 

The things we desire do not come to us simply through mere passivity or expectation. We are living in an imperfect world, a world which is in the process of growth; therefore, we meet undeveloped conditions on every side...
