Your Mind Controls Your Destiny | Uplifting Podcasts Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

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.

How to Live a Better & Larger Life | Motivation Podcasts Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

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....

The Character that Powers Success in Life Aug 29, 2024

Show notes

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.

How to Choose Your Vocation in Life Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

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"....

How Proportion Helps Create Happiness Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

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.

Go Beyond Ordinary Success | Motivation Podcasts Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

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.

How to Be a Strong & Unique Person Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

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?

Creating a True Success Mindset | New Thought Podcasts Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

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....

You Can Start Living a Larger Life | Motivational Podcasts Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

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.

The Incredible Power of Character Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

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. Calhoun.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Character is human nature in its best form. It is moral order embodied in the individual. People of character are not only the conscience of society, but in every well-governed state, they are its best motive power — for it is moral qualities in the main which rule the world. Even in war, Napoleon said, the moral is to the physical as ten to one.
