Listen to episode 679 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Path of Cheerfulness | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The influence that a cheerful person has on others is almost limitless. You probably have known people within whose company you felt uplifted, amiable and hopeful, equal to anything! I do not know a more enviable gift than the energy to sway others to good; to diffuse around others an atmosphere of cheerfulness, generosity, magnanimity. It is not a matter of great talent; nor entirely a matter of great energy; but rather of earnestness and honesty — a quiet, constant energy which is like soft rain gently penetrating the soil.  -------- Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.com Get our podcast with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron

Listen to episode 897 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Important Thoughts to Contemplate. Edited and adapted from Morning Thoughts for Every Day in the Year by JR Miller. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember that we are all both sowers and fields. Our words, our acts, our influence, as we touch other lives, become the seeds. This is true not only of the good things that our lives scatter, but also the bad. Each life of ours is a little patch of ground on which other sowers are forever dropping seeds. Every person we talk with, every friendship we cherish, every book we read, sows seeds which will grow and become the harvest of life.  --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Important Thoughts to Contemplate | Wisdom Podcasts

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from Little Builders by Dorothy Grenside, published in 1916. Podcast Excerpt:Do you understand that you have two separate selves within you — one Self that urges you to do all that you can to bring happiness and joy to others, and another that seems petty and small in its desires, wrapped up in its own pleasures and pains? The self that thinks nobly and purely is your Higher Self, who is a part of..... --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Higher Self vs. The Lower Self

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.
