Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 797 of the Inspirational Living podcast: If You Want to Be Happy, Do These Things. Edited and adapted from The True Source of a Happy Life by Hugh Wayt.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In the course of our lives, there are many times when thoughtless words are spoken by us which wound the hearts of others. And there are also many little occasions when a word of cheer is needed from us and we are silent. There are lives of wearisome monotony which one word of kindness can relieve. There is suffering which words of sympathy can make more endurable. And often, even in the midst of wealth and luxury, there are those who listen and long in vain for some expression of kindness.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from Success and How to Win It by B.F. Austin, published in 1904.

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 796 of the Inspirational Living podcast: You Have Unlimited Power Within You. Edited and adapted from The Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The power to be what you want to be, to get what you desire, to accomplish whatever you are striving for, abides within you. It rests with you only to bring it forth and put it to work. Of course you must know how to do that, but before you can learn how to use it, you must realize that you possess this power. So our first objective is to get acquainted with this power within.

Listen to episode 795 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Make the Most of Life. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What is nerve? Nerve is that which enables a person to hang on and either lose everything or win out. It is undertaking more than ordinary things. It is taking big risks on one's own ability. It is holding the fort against all-comers. It is doing the thing which the ordinary person thinks is impossible. It is setting your standard twice as high as your colleagues would set it for you, and then reaching it. It is burning your bridges behind you and staking your all on your own endeavor.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from 4 Minute Essays by Dr. Frank Crane, published in 1919.

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.

Listen to episode 794 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming the Biggest Obstacle to Success in Life. Edited and adapted from Self-Investment by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ideas, thoughts, like everything else, attract what is akin to them. The thoughts which dominate the mind will tend to drive out their opposites. Optimism will drive out pessimism. Cheerfulness will drive out despondency; hope, discouragement. Fill the mind with the sunshine of love, and all hatred and jealousy will flee. These black shadows cannot live in love's sunshine.

Listen to episode 793 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Break Bad Habits & Live a Larger Life. Edited and adapted from the book Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcasts: In order to find a way of escape from destructive habits and weaknesses of character, we must go deeper than actual deeds, for actions are effects of hidden causes. The cause of all action is thought. A thought is an action in the process of being born. It is true that we possess primitive desires and impulses, but these can be transmuted into noble actions and high achievement simply by directing our thoughts and attention to higher and better things.

Listen to episode 792 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Mastering Your Fate & Destiny | Life Lessons. Edited and adapted from The Book of Business by Elbert Hubbard.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The common idea is that success means great sacrifice, and that you must buy it with a price. In one sense this is true. To succeed you must choose. If you want this, you cannot have that. Success demands concentration, oneness of aim, and desire. Choose this day whom you will serve.

Listen to episode 791 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Building a Worthwhile Life | Living with Purpose. Edited and adapted from The Art of Being Alive by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: "The Life Worthwhile" differs in the minds of individuals. The scientist in the laboratory, the painter in the studio, the preacher in the pulpit, the lawyer in the courtroom, the teacher in the classroom, the carpenter on the building site, all feel that they are living a life worthwhile. And indeed so long as there is deep interest, enthusiasm, and pleasure in the life we are living that life is worthwhile.
