Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To be a happy person, you must not be passive or lazy. You must take an active hold upon life if you would possess happiness. You must not place your trust in others to make you happy. You need to find happiness beyond the world of effects, the world of personality, the world of phantoms.

Where should you turn? Within yourself. The royal road points in that direction.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: “Anybody can become angry — that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power, and it is not easy.”

Our Sunday Talks Excerpt:Your ability to take a new hold on life depends upon your ability to break with the thoughts of the past and acquire a new outlook on the present and future. Taking a new hold, then, is simply a matter of gaining the right perspective of time. If the past continues to be something to you, then the unpleasant events of the past will continue to live. Their hold on you will prevent your taking a new hold on life.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To the earnest soul, life is rich beyond price. When we think of all that we may do and become for humanity, how valuable time becomes and how short it seems! But the terms “long" and "short" have little meaning when applied to the life of the soul. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. The individual who most lives, thinks most, feels the noblest, and acts the best. Time misspent is not lived, but lost.

Listen to episode 801 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living Without Fear or Anxiety | You are Powerful. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Will Power by Clare Tree Major.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The most destructive force in the world is FEAR. Almost all failure and almost all crime can be traced to one form or another of this most prevalent evil. Fear is the father of doubt, and doubt is the murderer of success. It shows itself in many forms, from physical fear to the more subtle and dangerous forms which attack our mental life and sap our strength at its very foundation.

Our Sunday Talks Excerpt: Modern psychology has enabled us to discover ourselves.Through it, we are gaining faint glimpses of the powers of the great soul within, of that reservoir of intelligence and wisdom to which we may find access when we have learned the way. We are learning the potency of thought: that thought is our empire, that thought is the avenue to the infinite treasures of the subconscious mind, and that thought can control our entire personality.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We must cultivate the attitude of joy and gladness — for his very state of mind is power, and it leads to effective operation and desired results.

Listen to episode 799 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Navigate the Journey of Life. Edited and adapted from The Palace of Mirrors and Other Essays by Joseph Frank Thompson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We can either recall pleasant memories and contemplate cheerful possibilities; or we can muse upon our sad experiences and prospects that are dark and threatening. The first is evidently the way of wisdom. Yet how many people there are who do the last, thus enduring a thousand times those disappointments and heartaches which it is bad enough to have borne once.

Today's 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.

Listen to episode 798 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Let Go of Anger & Start Living a Happy Life. Edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I have known people to carry for years feelings of bitter hatred and a desire for revenge, a determination to "get even" with those who injured them, until their whole characters were so changed that they became almost inhuman. Hatred, revenge, and jealousy are poisons just as fatal to all that is noblest in us as arsenic is fatal to the physical life.
