Inspirational Living: Life Lessons For Success & Happiness

Listen to episode 929 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Become Strong in Spirit and Life. Edited and adapted from Divine Adjustment by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1930.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is necessary for us to develop strength and individuality. We have to become so strong that no dominating ego can have any power or influence over us. We have to maintain our liberty, and be free, individualized beings. If we do not maintain our freedom, we not only become weak people without individuality or character, but we also are liable to find ourselves dominated by some strong ego to such an extent that our life ceases to be our own.Now, many of us may recognize the necessity of being strongly individualistic and capable of resisting suggestion, but how are we to develop such strength? ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 928 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Creating a True Success Mindset. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1921.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is important to recognize that there are varying degrees of successful thinking. For instance, the lowest form of "success" thought is: "I can succeed." You may have thought all your life that you could not succeed. You may have thought that others succeeded because they were exceptionally talented or had better opportunities, or were blessed with "luck". But you being neither greatly talented, nor lucky, nor presented with opportunities, cannot succeed.Then one day, let us imagine, you read an....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 927 of the Inspirational Living podcast: You Can Start Living a Larger Life. Edited and adapted from The Open Door by Hugh Black.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A new experience should open the way to a larger life. It should bring fresh insight, wider interest, and keener sympathy. Many people do not use their new experiences, but only enjoy them. A great happiness will sometimes come to a person and they will rejoice in it, but yet they may not let it enlarge their life. Strangely enough, we sometimes find it only narrows the person. So a sorrow, which we would expect to soften and deepen them, will often only harden and embitter. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 926 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Incredible Power of Character. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R.

Even in war, Napoleon said, the moral is to the physical as ten to one. ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 925 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Use Money the Successful Way. Edited and adapted from Youth and Opportunity by Thomas Tapper.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Up to the present moment, you have, perhaps, saved nothing. The rule of your life may have been a variation of "easy come, easy go." But it has not put you forward. You are no better off — have nothing in hand. You are, in fact, a little older and a little nearer the time when your efficiency may be less than it is today.If you can succeed in seeing yourself in this light, you will begin to be a student of money. And the first thing you must do is to study (in order) the following subjects: ....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 924 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Create Good Luck for Success. Edited and adapted from Personal Power by Keith J.

Listen to episode 919 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Getting Over Your Fear of Death. Edited and adapted from Growth in Silence, the Undertone of Life by Susanna Cocroft.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The fear of death is one of the greatest restraints to life, to growth. We do not realize how our lives are hampered by fear of it. The opposite is true when we realize that there is no death.If the spirits linger near, it is pleasant to feel that they are ever helping and impressing for good those whose lives were knitted to theirs in the past. They may or may not commune with us (so that we can see or hear them with our physical senses), but have we not all, in some receptive mood, when lifted above the petty cares of the day, felt a sweet influence pervading the very air? ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from What All the World is a-Seeking by Ralph Waldo Trine, published in 1920.Podcast Excerpt: I often talk about the principle of love and service, and how this principle should be the foundation of your personality. In turn, I often hear someone say, “But love and service really doesn’t come easily for me. What should I do?”My reply is this: Forget self, get out of it for a little while, and, as it comes your way, do something for someone, some kind service, some loving favor; it makes no difference how small it may appear. But a kind look or word to one weary with care, a helping hand or little lift to one discouraged, may just change their life or their destiny.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 918 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Magic Door to a Wonderful Life. Edited and adapted from The Open Door by Hugh Black.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We need more non-conformists, more people ready to protest, because their eyes have seen a nobler vision. It would be a poor thing to have youth prudent with the selfish calculating prudence of worldly wisdom. Life stretches out at the feet of youth to be made what it will. It can be as rich and beautiful as youth likes to have it — for that is the Magic Door that ushers to the very land of our dreams....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 916 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Driving Your Ambition to Success. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Personality by Clare Tree Major.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ambition is desire, the desire for self-expression along the line of least resistance. Desire is a thing to be cultivated. Feed it with your imagination. But do not desire to have things. Greed and envy, and a host of other uglinesses, owe their birth to the desire to have. Desire to BE, and the things will come of themselves.To be a great success, a master in your chosen business or profession....---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

It recognizes the right of every person to think their own thoughts, to live their own life, to be themselves in all things, so long as it does not run counter to the rights of others. It means giving to others the same freedom that we ourselves crave.

Edited and adapted from A Man Worthwhile by John Phillips Meakin.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I would like to talk with you today about the subject of success. But first let us understand each other. My idea of success may not be yours. I do not mean success in the narrow sense of gaining some petty victory — the success of wealth, power, or glory. I do not mean to tell you how to become a great captain of industry, nor a brilliant entrepreneur; neither would I instruct you in the art of diplomacy or statesmanship; the mysteries of religion nor the intricacies of politics.

Austin.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Every weight carried lessens the chances of victory; every weight discarded increases the prospects of success.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from Creative Mind by Ernest Holmes, published in 1919..Podcast Excerpt: How often it is true of our spoken prayers, that we have said words over and over again, and yet our prayers have apparently yielded us nothing, simply because we have not really desired the things asked for. The thing actually desired is the thing we pray for, not the petition that may be expressed in words.The deepest prayers cannot be put into words. True prayer is the intense inner desire of the heart, deeper than any human speech can express; so profound, so vital and spiritual, that it must wing its way silently to the Eternal.---------------------                                 Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
