Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 790 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Road Map to Happiness. Edited and adapted from Working With God by Gardner Hunting.

Inspirational Podcasts: Let's use a little common sense. Isn't life a road that we should look upon exactly like any other road we have to travel? In the first place, all of us want to go places and do things, don't we?

All right, then, that means activity on our own part. If we don't want other people to get all our rewards, and have all our fun, we have to get off our butts. If we sit down idly, twiddle our thumbs and wait, some fruit may fall into our lap, but not much.

Listen to episode 789 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Keys to Realizing Your Ambitions. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Whatever your ambition may be, once you have started, stick to it, do not change until your object is achieved. If you choose wealth, continue to pursue it; if greatness, concentrate all your powers on winning it — affirm its accomplishment; visualize yourself having achieved the object of your endeavors. If you will do this, success will be yours.

To change about, however, is fatal. Success is largely a matter of concentration, but it is equally dependent upon staying power....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In proverbs, it says that “without vision, the people perish". This bit of ancient wisdom does not refer to good eyesight. It was the eyes of the mind that counted in the days of old, just as they do today. Without them, we have just so much power as a driven ox — and we are worth only a little more than they. But given vision (imagination) the ability to visualize conditions and things a month or a year ahead, there is no limit to our value or capabilities.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: However, we define happiness, and whatever be the source to which we look for happiness, there are foes on every side. If much of our ordinary happiness comes from the outside (pleasant experiences and environments), we are at the mercy of any bad event. The more we look for happiness from outside amusements and surface delights, the more dependent we are on circumstances.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I have spoken to you in the past of the need for Courage, for all Success and Happiness depend on its possession. Yet you must not think that I am only speaking of the Courage that can face a sudden danger. I want you to learn such strength of mind that fear can gain no mastery in the smallest happenings of your life. There is cowardice of thought, as well as action, and if you fail when some great danger presses, it is because you could not meet (in thought) the little daily tests.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Today, as yesterday, we are measured by the spirit that is in us. We are what our resolution makes us, what our grit and courage make us. If there is an excellent spirit within you, then the world takes note that you stand for something, that you are a builder, an achiever, an accomplisher. Your life is worthwhile; you are a contributor to civilization.

Listen to episode 784 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Happiness. Edited and adapted from the book Happiness by Hugh Black.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is an art of happiness, which is like the art of living. No list of rules can cover all the ground — for life does not go in straight lines, and never runs exactly according to schedule. There is also the personal equation, the peculiar angle from which each person looks at life.

Listen to episode 783 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How Successful People Think, Grow, and Win. Edited and adapted from Success & How to Win at Life by B.F. Austin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: How is Success Won? One great secret of success is found in Concentration. This consists in centering our thoughts upon a single object and holding this object in the mind's eye persistently. The thoughts, purposes, will power, effort and resources of every life should be united in some single great object. A life unified, united, concentrated, dominated by one great purpose, becomes mighty, while a life with a thousand diverging purposes must necessarily be weak.
