Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 762 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Forgetting. Edited and adapted from Go Forward by J.R. Miller.

Inspirational Podcast Transcript: We are constantly being told to remember, and urgently counseled not to forget. “It is perilous to forget the sins of the past,” people say. But there is a sense also in which our only hope is in forgetting. We never can get on to higher things if we insist on clinging to our past and carrying it with us. We can make progress only by forgetting. We can go forward only by leaving behind what is past.

Listen to episode 761 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Experience the Joys of Living Now. Edited and adapted from The Joys of Living by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: So many of us today are not really settled, do not really live in the now, but we are sure we WILL live tomorrow, or next year, when business is better, our fortunes greater: when we move into our new house, get our new furnishings, our new car, get rid of things that annoy us, and have everything around us to make us comfortable. THEN we will be happy.

Listen to episode 760 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Unseen Elements of Success & Greatness. Edited and adapted from Levels of Living by Henry Frederick Cope.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is an old mystical saying that the things which are not seen are essential to all success. We are blind if we can see only with our eyes, and we only are sensible when we know that there are many things beyond our senses. Practical people consider all the factors to every problem, and things are not less real to them because they might be intangible.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Individuality gives personal beauty, even to plain features. One who is imbued with great independence stands out from among the public. They are a leader. They help to mold the times in which they live. They are a builder. By them individuals arise to higher altitudes. They are an inspirer, a stronghold, an uplifter of the human race. The strongly individualized character inspires others with energy and confidence.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Each dawning day begins a new life. Not a single self-imposed limitation of yesterday can prevail in your new day. The world is yours. You have power within you to conquer every situation. Everything lies before you. You stand at the threshold of opportunities.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The law of happiness is fulfilled in one word — LOVE. It is the rich soil from which grows joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, meekness, and moderation. Out of it also grow self-control, largeness of heart and life, contentment, cheerfulness, kindness, and hopefulness. These elements enter largely into the happiness of every individual. They are the fruitful branches that grow on the vine of love.

Listen to episode 756 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Success, Education & The School of Life. Edited and adapted from Youth and Opportunity by Thomas Tapper.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Education is the result of that process which liberates the power within us. With this power we work in our environment, and to the degree that we conquer environment itself, we succeed — for no person may be said truly to succeed who, instead of mastering the world, is overcome by it.

Listen to episode 755 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Amazing Power of Breathing Right. Edited and adapted from Success Through Thought Habit by Benjamin Johnson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Your character represents the result of the habits you have formed. Your habits show your manner of thought. Your manner of thought is in turn affected by your method of breathing.
