Listen to episode 860 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of a Joyful Heart | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from A Book of Friendly Thoughts by Nixon Waterman. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many centuries ago that wise and admirable philosopher, Epictetus, discovered that "happiness is not in strength, or wealth, or power; or all three. It lies in ourselves, in true freedom, in the conquest of every ignoble fear, in perfect self-government, in a power of contentment and peace, and the even flow of life — even in poverty, exile, disease and the very valley of the shadow."  -------- 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 898 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Build a Happy Life. Edited and adapted from Life Lessons by Joseph Frank Thompson. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let us make the most of our one chance, and not spoil it by any folly or cruelty. How pleasant it will be, as we draw near the goal, if we can look back and realize that though the way was very steep and rough for us in some places, and though it traversed at times a landscape that was all devoid of loveliness, yet, as we passed along, we scattered the seeds of tender words, and helpful deeds, that even now have grown into a carpet of greenery to soften the path for others, and a border of blossoms to cheer them with its beauty.  --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

How to Build a Happy Life | Happiness Podcasts

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.

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.
