Listen to episode 686 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Reaching Your Utopia | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from The Secret of Success by Frank Everit Mitchell. Motivational Podcast Excerpt: True success is not the result of luck, guess, or chance. It is the ripened fruit of persistent industry wedded to intelligent conception. And the reason why so few of those who try succeed is not that they set the standard too high, or that they have not the ability to reach it, but because they lose heart on the road, relax their effort, yield to discouragements, and thus become careless or indifferent. They lose sight of the end they had in view, and allow themselves to drift with the current, resting on their oars, waiting for something to turn up.  ----------- Transform your life in 30 days with our MAJESTY meditation program: https://livinghour.org/majesty.

Listen to episode 896 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Character & Happiness | Self-Development Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character and Happiness by Alvin Edwin Magary. Motivational Podcast Excerpt: If you and I are not changing ourselves constantly, we are not fulfilling the character of our potential. It is a persistent and destructive heresy to say that our characters are fixed by influences outside ourselves. The weak person excuses themselves by saying that this or that unfortunate characteristic comes naturally to them. But it is all the more a discredit to them, that being conscious of some particular natural tendency to bad conduct, they have not gained a victory over their primitive self.  --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

You Can Recreate Yourself | Motivational Podcasts

Listen to episode 895 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Recovering Your Happiness & Joy. Edited and adapted from The Joy that No Man Taketh from You by Lilian Whiting. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is true that many troubles are inevitable. They are a component part of life. Death is the universal human experience. Illness is largely so (in slight or serious degree). Misfortunes are, practically, universal, in some form or other. There can be no woman or man who is so great, or so good, or so distinguished, or so rich, or so fortunately placed in this world, who is not liable to almost any kind of misfortune.

Recovering Your Happiness & Joy

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from New Thought Common Sense and What Life Means to Me by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, published in 1908. Podcast Excerpt: A MOST beautiful calendar opens with the lines: "I'll not easily offend, Nor be easily offended; What's amiss I'll try to mend, And endure what can't be mended." One could hardly start the day with a better resolution than what is contained in those lines. To not easily offend is to be continually considerate. We should all strive to think before speaking; to restrain the careless word and the useless criticism; to forego the pleasure of a laugh when it would fall as ridicule on sensitive ears, and to avoid the little sins of omission which mar friendship: the unanswered letter, the unpaid call, the unspoken word of approval or congratulation for achievements, and the unoffered word of sympathy for trouble or loss. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Don't Be Easily Offended | Sunday Talks

Listen to episode 894 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Evidence of the Spiritual Life | Uplifting Podcast. Edited and adapted from A New Philosophy of Life by John Herman Randall. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The first question to be faced frankly, and if possible, honestly answered, is this: “Is there a normal spiritual life possible to all people — to be lived not in some distant heaven, but here and now in this present world? And if so, of what does it consist, and how is it to be attained?"  Let’s think briefly of the deeper meaning of life as we know it, and consider its development. The most wonderful, and altogether most significant thing to be said about life is this: ....

Evidence of the Spiritual Life | Uplifting Podcasts

Listen to episode 893 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Start Living the Inspiring Life Meant for You. Edited and adapted from A New Philosophy of Life by John Herman Randall. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It’s been said that character is practically fixed for most people when they reach the age of 25. I suspect this is true — for how many of us rigorously and systematically take ourselves in hand every day, and work on overcoming our imperfections, our weaknesses?  Instead, we often excuse and attempt to justify ourselves, saying things like, "I can’t help it. It’s my temperament," or "My parents are the same way," or, "I am what I am." And, then, we go on spending our time in search of wealth or happiness, discharging more or less faithfully the duties of daily life, while spending little effort each day on eradicating our weaknesses and bettering ourselves. --------
