Listen to episode 945 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Key to Health, Wealth & Love. Edited and adapted from The Key to Health, Wealth & Love by Julia Seton.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: At some time or another in our lives, we all come to a place where two or more paths open up for us, and we stand at the cross-roads undecided which way to go. There is no friend near to whom we can seek advice. It is here, that the person who has developed the power of meditation (of inner communion), can rest awhile and find within themselves the solution to all difficulties. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 944 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Feel Younger Again. Edited and adapted from Turn Back the Years by Harry J. Gardener.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If most human beings only knew it, the actual price of youth is the lowest of any "bargain" in all the markets of the world. The purchase price is merely self- analysis and self-change. Why then, one asks, is youth so often missed, so often hungrily yearned for, when it can be so easily obtained? Well, the fault lies in the state of mind of this age — the hurry, the pell-mell rush for success and a thousand other goals. The purpose of today’s talk is therefore to make you stop and think. For intelligent, concentrated thought, and consideration of one's self are the finest helps obtainable. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 943 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Karma & The Ultimate Goal of Life. Edited and adapted from a lecture by Swami Vivekenanda.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ultimately, we find that misery and happiness are equal factors in the formation of character. Good and evil have an equal share, and in some instances misery is a greater teacher than happiness. In studying the great characters that the world has produced, I dare say that (in the vast majority of cases), it was misery that taught more than happiness; it was poverty that taught more than wealth; and it was blows that brought out the inner fire, more than praise. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 942 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Being the Best at Anything. Edited and adapted from Up and Doing by C. P. McDonald.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Try enthusiasm on your job. It is the greatest of all pre-requisites of Success. It leads to better things — to the coveted, attainable prizes we strive for. It is enthusiasm that makes us win — achieve — advance — become doers — take the initiative — the bold play. It makes the gray day a good day — the dull day a happy day. It points the way to opportunity — of fresh, new inspiration.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 941 of the Inspirational Living podcast: A Key to the Life Worthwhile. Edited and adapted from “The Message of New Thought” by Abel Allen.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is not built to any fixed plan. One ideal will not suffice for all lives. Individuals cannot follow the same guide, because all persons differ and the orbits of their respective lives cannot be the same. Each person is endowed with some distinct and superior quality. The real purpose of your life should be to develop that gift and bring it into activity and expression.We must, therefore, begin with the proposition that life is an individual function, a problem for each person to work out in the manner best suited to their own individuality. Your life must be shaped by your own ideal. It must follow your own line of cleavage.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Edited and adapted from Peace, Power, and Plenty by Orison Swett Marden.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is a great art to be able to shut the gates of the mind on retiring to bed, to control oneself, to put oneself in tune with the Infinite, in sympathy with those about you, and in harmony with the world; to expel from the mind everything which jars or irritates (all malice, envy, and jealousy, the enemies of our peace and happiness) before you go to sleep. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Larson.Podcast Excerpt: We are searching for pathways to a beautiful life. But often we don’t know where to begin, and what guideposts we should use to navigate our journey. The first thing to do is to recognize the great truth that every individual can live their own life exactly as they wish to. You are the real master of your own existence, and it is you who may determine how perfect and how beautiful that existence is to be.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 939 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Life is a Mission - What is Yours?. Edited & adapted from The Aim of Life by Philip Stafford Moxom.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is a mission. Every other definition of life is false, and leads all who accept it astray. Religion, science, philosophy, though still at variance upon many points, all agree on this: that every existence is an aim. It is the high distinction of humanity that we are capable of living with an aim — that is, with a purpose which, reaching through all our lives, unifies it, and gives it directness and force.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 938 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Truth (The Simple Truth About Life). Edited and adapted from The Power of Truth by William George Jordan.Podcast Excerpt: Truth is the rock foundation of every great character. It is loyalty to what is right, as we see it. It is the courageous living of our lives in harmony with our ideals. It is always — power. Truth ever defies a full definition. Like electricity, it can only be explained by noting its manifestation. It is the compass of the soul, the guardian of conscience, the final touchstone of right. Truth is the revelation of an ideal; but it is also an inspiration to REALIZE that ideal, a constant impulse to live it.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 937 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Follow these Rules and Wealth is Guaranteed. Edited and Adapted from Success and How to Win It by B.F. Austin.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: No one has success until they have an abounding life. This is made up of the many-fold activity of energy, enthusiasm, and gladness. It is to spring up to meet the day with a thrill at being alive. It is to go forth to meet the morning in an ecstasy of joy. It is to realize the oneness of humanity in true spiritual sympathy. It is, indeed, that which one IS; not that which you do or which you have. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 936 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Develop a Powerful Personality. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Personality by Clare Tree Major.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Review the life of any great individual. You will find that their success was the result, not only of careful study and of perseverance, but, more than all, of the subtle influence of personal magnetism. They succeeded because their personality convinced people that they were sincere, that they were strong, someone who could be relied upon. Without a well-developed personality, their good qualities would have lain unnoticed, and they would have been only another in the struggling, discouraged thousands. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 935 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Mind Controls Your Destiny. Edited and adapted from How the Mind Works by Christian D. Larson.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Your destiny is being created hourly by you. And that something that determines what you are to create at any particular period in time is the sum total of your ideals.Your future is not preordained by some external power, nor is fate controlled by some strange and mysterious force that master minds can alone comprehend and apply. It is our ideals that control and determine our fate. And we all have ideals, whether we be aware of the fact or not.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 934 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Live a Better & Larger Life. Edited and adapted from Right Living by Susan H. Wixon.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: "Living will teach you how to live better than any preacher or book," says Goethe. But what is it to live? Is it simply to eat, drink, and be merry? Is it to learn a little, here and there; to laugh and play; to sleep, weep, toil, and battle from day to day, and from year to year for food and shelter? Life is more than that. It has larger uses. It contains greater and grander results. It holds loftier and nobler aspirations....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 933 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Character that Powers Success in Life. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R. Calhoun. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It has been said that "Nothing Succeeds Like Success." But what is Success? If we consult the dictionaries, they will give us the etymology of this much used word, and in general terms, the meaning will be (quote) "the accomplishment of a purpose." But as the goals in nearly every life differ, success cannot mean the same thing to all people. The artist's idea of success is very different from that of the business person, and the scientist differs from both, as does the politician from all three. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 932 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Choose Your Vocation in Life. Edited and adapted from Getting a Start: First Aids to Success by Nathaniel C. Fowler.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:To feel the flush of success is to do what you most want to do, and what you can best do. Unless you can do well what you want to do, the fullness of result is impossible. Conversely, unless you want to do what you can do well, a small result is likely to follow. While what you want to do appears to be subordinate to what you can do, so much do I believe in the assistance of co-operation and the value of desire, that I would place "want to do" ahead of "can do"....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 931 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How Proportion Helps Create Happiness. Edited and adapted from The Pursuit of Happiness by George Hodges. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Proportion ministers to happiness because it preserves us from pessimism. Pessimism is an exaggeration of the evil of the world. It is the easiest of fallacies. Evil impresses the imagination deeper than good. It is commonly more dramatic, more interesting. That is why the first page of the morning paper is filled with the stories of yesterday's crimes and murders. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 930 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Go Beyond Ordinary Success | Motivation Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Getting a Start: First Aids to Success by Nathaniel C. Fowler.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: IF you are faithful, ordinary success is yours. If you do what you are told to do, or what you have to do, you can't become a failure. But more than ordinary success, more than normal accomplishment, is due, not wholly to faithfulness, not entirely to your interest in your work, but to the fact that you do not only what you are told to do and have to do, but what you are not told to do and don't have to do. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
