Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 861 of the Inspirational Living podcast: When to Do When Things Go Wrong. Edited and adapted from Success Through Thought Habit by Benjamin Johnson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Once in a while, we may be placed in the trying position of not being able to blame anyone for our plight, and, as we think things over, we are forced to admit that were circumstances to be again arranged as they had been, we would do the same things all over again.

Then, perhaps, we grow a little sorry for ourselves and we say — beneath our breaths — "What is the use of trying. I was just as good as I could have been for days, weeks, and months, and then this awful thing had to happen for no reason at all."

Next, we may get angry, or possibly disgusted, and just in proportion to our own state of mind, does the outlook continue to look worse and worse until soon dull despair settles down in great chunks of gloom.

Listen to episode 860 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of a Joyful Heart | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from A Book of Friendly Thoughts by Nixon Waterman.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many centuries ago that wise and admirable philosopher, Epictetus, discovered that "happiness is not in strength, or wealth, or power; or all three. It lies in ourselves, in true freedom, in the conquest of every ignoble fear, in perfect self-government, in a power of contentment and peace, and the even flow of life — even in poverty, exile, disease and the very valley of the shadow."

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from “Self-Control: It’s Kingship & Majesty” by William George Jordan

Podcast Excerpt: Most people sympathize too much with themselves. They take themselves as a single sentence isolated from the great text of life. They study themselves too much as separated from the rest of humanity, instead of being vitally connected with their fellow men and women.

There are some people who surrender to sorrow as others give way to dissipation. There is a vain pride of sorrow, as well as of beauty. Most individuals have a strange glow of vanity in looking back upon their past and feeling that few others in life have suffered such trials, hardships, and disappointments as have come to them.

Listen to episode 859 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Eternal Wisdom of Henry Ward Beecher. Edited from the works of Henry Ward Beecher.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: “‎Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard taskmaster to yourself — and be lenient to everybody else.”

“No person can tell whether they are rich or poor by turning to their bank book. It is in the heart that riches lie. You are rich according to what you are, not according to what he have.”

Listen to episode 858 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Transformative Power of Love & Service. Edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We must touch other lives or lose power. We are so constituted that a thousand relations with our community are necessary for our largest development, our completest life. When we cut ourselves off from the common life, we cut off a great many currents of power, close many avenues of interrelation which bring strength and rich experience.

Podcast Excerpt: “There is a legend of a wonderful magic mirror which people used to journey from all parts of the world to look into. This mirror was supposed to give them back a picture of themselves as they really were, not as they (or as their friends or enemies) thought they were.

Once upon a time, a person who looked into the magic mirror...”

Listen to episode 857 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Power of Being Thorough. Edited and adapted from The Mastery of Destiny by James Allen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: THOROUGHNESS consists in doing little things as though they were the greatest things in the world. That the little things of life are of primary importance, is a truth not generally understood. And the thought that little things can be neglected and thrown aside is at the root of that lack of thoroughness which is so common and results in imperfect work and unhappy lives.

Listen to episode 855 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Optimism to Transform Your Life. Adapted from the essay Optimism by Helen Keller.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness.

Here poets have glimpsed dreams of immortal beauty; musicians have first heard divine harmonies; painters have conceived their loftiest compositions.
