Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from Growth in Silence, the Undertone of Life by Susanna Cocroft, published in 1917.

Podcast Excerpt: There can be no true harmony of existence unless we have poise — unless our physical, mental, and moral forces are in proper balance. There are latent possibilities in every nature which become potent with new thoughts, new aspirations, new ideals — when we meet the emergencies in life with a sense of power within, of capability to grapple with difficulties and overcome them.

Listen to episode 867 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Winning the Challenge of Life. Edited and adapted from The Challenge of Life by Charles Forrest Moore.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When I look back over the years of my eventful, if yet unprofitable, life, I believe that not a single day nor hour of it has been lived in strict accordance with my original intent. I have not only been surprised by the repeated changes in my plans, but I have been startled as well by the swiftness and completeness of their reversals. It has been the exception, rather than the rule, when I actually have been able to accomplish the things I set out to do, and at the time and in the manner I meant to.

Listen to episode 866 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Best of Your Life is Yet to Be! Edited and adapted from Life’s Byways and Waysides by J.R. Miller.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The best of life is yet to be! And the way to reach the better things is by forgetting the things that are behind us, and to always reach forward to the things which are ahead.

Of course, there is a proper use to be made of our past. We should remember the lessons we have learned from past experience, so as to profit by our mistakes, and avoid repeating them.

The true science of living is ...

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from The Heart of New Thought by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, published in 1902.

Podcast Excerpt: NEVER say that you wish your situation were different! Never wish you had some other person's life, troubles, or worries. Accept your own as a working basis, the life that is best for you. Then go ahead and change whatever displeases you. Remember that you are the maker and molder of your own destiny. You do not recall the fact, but you brought about the present conditions of your destiny in .....

Listen to episode 865 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Choose Your Life’s Road. Edited and adapted from The Call of the Upper Road by Kathrine Ross Logan.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: All roads start from where you are. They run in all directions, and you may wonder which is the best road to take. All have a way of their own of inviting you, and each has its own particular enticements. Roads seem to know you and expect you. They keep open for you both day and night. But there is a big difference in the roads, and it is most important that you choose the best.

Listen to episode 864 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Live a Life Worthy of Immortality. Edited and adapted from Making a Life by Cortland Myers.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A noble purpose is life's guarding, guiding angel. It alone can take us safely through a lion's den. In one hand it holds safety, and in the other success. A high ideal is a lever under your life, and means the elevation of your character. The person who is satisfied with their first effort, or their first step, or their first attainment, never reaches greatness.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from Evening Round Up by William Crosbie Hunter.

Podcast Excerpt: Welcome to the Inspirational Living podcast. Today I would like to share with you an episode of the Our Sunday Talks series which we offer to our patrons.

It’s a useful reminder that one of the greatest gifts that we can give to a friend, family member, or loved one is a few words (be it in a letter or face to face) expressing how much that other person means to you. It was edited and adapted from Evening Round Up by William Crosbie Hunter, published in 1915.....

Listen to episode 863 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Embracing Change & A Joyful Future. Edited & adapted from The Wonders of Life by Ida Luella Rettinghouse Lyon.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When you begin to help yourself by doing what you can in your own way, you will find help as you progresses — help that will come in unexpected ways, and as you need it. Disasters must, necessarily, overtake us. There are storms in the psychological, as well as in the physical, life. But there is a purpose in the intensity of feeling which such mental disturbances awaken. They serve to prepare the soul for the happiness which is to follow.

Listen to episode 862 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret of Financial Success. Edited and Adapted from Three lectures on "The Laws of Financial Success" by B.F. Austin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Financial success is won by those who dare to think big. Little thoughts, plans, and ideals beget little interest, little effort, little enthusiasm in the individual, and awaken little or no interest in the minds of others.

The radical difference between the pop-corn vendor at the fair and the next Steve Jobs is in the size of their ideas and concepts. Popcorn ideas beget a popcorn life. Great ideas, projects, and enterprises rouse the soul of the individual to the effort, courage, and daring that is commensurate with grand ideas.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from The Soul of the Indian, which was written by the Native American author and physician Charles Eastman in 1911.

Podcast Excerpt: THE original attitude of Native Americans toward the Eternal, the "Great Mystery" that surrounds and embraces us, was as simple as it was exalted. To them it was the supreme conception, bringing with it the fullest measure of joy and satisfaction possible in this life. 

The worship of the "Great Mystery" was silent, solitary, free from all self-seeking. It was silent, because all speech is of necessity feeble and imperfect; therefore the souls of my ancestors ascended to .....
