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. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.

But you must give it space in which to do its work. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 753 of the Inspirational Living podcast: There is Nothing Impossible in Life. Edited and adapted from Stepping-Stones to Success by Horace D. Hitchcock.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When it comes to human accomplishment, the power of will is the greatest power in the world. In fact, no person can determine the limits of any individual mind; neither can they foretell the limits of human endeavor. The accomplishments of today would appear as positive impossibilities to those who lived ages ago. A safe maxim for the future thus might be: "There is nothing that is impossible."---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 752 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Building the Temple of Your Mind. Edited and adapted from Peace, Power & Plenty by Orison Swett Marden.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: One of the greatest accomplishments of the finest character is the ability to order the mind and to exclude from it all the enemy thoughts — thoughts that bring friction and discord into the life, thoughts that depress, that stunt, that darken. No mind can do good work when clouded with unhappy or vicious thoughts. The mental sky must be clear or there can be no enthusiasm; no brightness, clearness, or efficiency in our mental work. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com

Listen to episode 751 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Character is Your Destiny. Edited and adapted from The Aim of Life by Philip Stafford Moxom.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The process of character-formation involves the action and inter-action of many forces. The totality of a life, at any moment, is the product mainly of little things: trifling choices, insignificant exercises of will, unimportant acts often repeated, things seemingly of minor account — but these are the thousand tiny sculptors that are carving away continuously at the rough block of life, giving it shape and features. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 750 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Achieve Happiness and Success in Life. Edited and adapted from Success by Lord Beaverbrook.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Success — that is the royal road we all want to tread, for it gives us the opportunity to exercise our abilities and activities to the full.  Like all human affairs, success is partly a matter of predestination and partly of free will. You cannot make genius, but you can improve upon it or destroy it, and most people possess the assets which can be turned into success. But those who possess these precious gifts will have to gather and expand them. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcirc

Listen to episode 749 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Believe in Yourself | Living Confidently. Edited and adapted from The Call of Life by William L. White.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The dictionary defines self-confidence as having confidence in one's unaided powers, judgment, ability, etc. In other words, it is the belief that you can produce results. When you insist that you can succeed, and are determined that you will succeed, there is nothing in the world that can stop you. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 748 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Saying Goodbye to Anger and Hate. Edited and adapted from The Freedom of Life by Annie Payson Call.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If you repress an expression of irritability, anger, or hatred, it is there in your brain, just the same; and, in one form or another, you are in bondage to it. Sometimes it will express itself in little meannesses. Sometimes it will affect your body and make you ill. Often it will keep you from being entirely well. But of one thing we can be sure — it will make you the instrument of something harmful, in one way or another. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Larson.Please note the free meditation offer mentioned at the beginning of the podcast has now expired.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There are thousands of richly endowed minds in the world that accomplish nothing to speak of; and the reason is they live in the confusion of doubt, uncertainty, and fear. Many of these minds would become giants in the world, if all their powers were spurred to action by the invincible spirit of faith. In fact, there is not a single mind, whether naturally endowed or not, that would not come forth into a larger, richer life if inspired by the wonder-working power of faith.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I would like to wish all of you a peaceful and joyful Christmas, one that rejuvenates you spiritually and mentally. To celebrate Christmas I am sharing an old episode (2017) of Our Sunday Talks, a series produced for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from The Crown of Individuality by William George Jordan, published in 1909.Christmas Podcast Excerpt: The world’s attitude towards the birth of every great truth is focused in a single phrase in the simple story of the first Christmas, the greatest birthday since time began. Mary laid the infant Christ in a manger because (quote) —“there was no room for them in the inn.”For worldly success, fame, social prestige, laurel-crowned triumph, the inn is illuminated; welcoming music fills the air; and the inn doors are thrown wide open. But the struggle towards sublime attainment, heroic effort to better the world, simple consecration of soul to a noble ideal, means the manger — and a lonely pathway lit only by the tor

And one of the most important things to learn early is to learn to say no. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our entire 700+ podcast archive, with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patron.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
