Success is No Accident | Motivational Podcasts Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 909 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Success is No Accident | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R. Calhoun.

Motivational Podcast Excerpt: Michelangelo was one day explaining to a visitor at his studio what he had been doing to a statue since a previous visit. "I have retouched this part—polished that—softened this feature—brought out that muscle— given some expression to this lip, and more energy to that limb."

"But those are trifles," said the visitor.

"It may be so," replied Michelangelo, "but recollect that trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle."

What's Done Must Be Done With Love Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

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 Power Through Repose by Annie Payson Call, published in 1900.

Podcast Excerpt: It is with life as it is with art. What we do must be done with love, or it will have no force. Without the living spark of love, we may have the appearance (but never the spirit) of useful work or quiet contentment. Stagnation is not peace, and there can be no life, and thus no living peace, without happy relations with those about us.

Taking Control of Your Mind & Body May 30, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 908 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Taking Control of Your Mind & Body | Health Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Youth and Opportunity by Thomas Tapper.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Most people are very content with the world they live in. Even the poor are often happy because what they have and what they think are equal. But the moment a person realizes that being poor limits them in many ways, they are no longer happy. They want other things; they wish to live on a better street; to know people who are doing well. In other words, they want to be (quote) "better off," as the saying goes.....

Be the Master of Your Circumstances | Motivational Podcasts May 28, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 907 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Be the Master of Your Circumstances. Edited and adapted from The Freedom of Life by Annie Payson Call.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: IT is not the circumstances of life that trouble or weigh upon us. It is the way we take them. If a person is playing a difficult game of chess, the more intricate the moves, the more thoughtfully they look over their own and their opponent's pieces, and the more fully they are aroused to make the right move toward a checkmate.

If, when the game became difficult, the player stopped to be depressed and disheartened, their opponent would probably always checkmate them. However, in most cases, the more difficult the game, the more....

Building Up Your Spiritual Strength May 26, 2024

Show notes

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 The Shining Gateway by James Allen, published in 1915.

Podcast Excerpt: Every dog can bark and fight, and every foolish person can rail and abuse with hard words, and give way to fits of bad temper. These things are easy and natural to us, and require no effort and no strength. But the wise person puts away all such follies, and trains themselves in self-control — trains themselves to act unerringly from fixed principles, and not from the fleeting impulses of an unstable nature.

Patience & Perseverance are Your Keys to Success May 23, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 906 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Patience & Perseverance are Your Keys to Success. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R. Calhoun.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The soldier who begins the battle in doubt is half beaten in advance. The entrepreneur who loses heart after one failure is a fool to have even started. There is a great deal in good preparation, but there is a great deal more in heroic perseverance. The person who declines to make a start until everything they think they need is ready at hand is very apt to fail.

The greatest things have been achieved by ...

Getting Rid of Your Fear of Failure | Success Podcasts May 21, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 905 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Getting Rid of Your Fear of Failure | Success Talks. Edited and adapted from Personal Power by Keith J. Thomas.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is a big thing, and your mind is a big thing. There ought to be nothing mean or small in your thoughts. Your imagination is bounded only by the measureless space of the universe. After all, you can comprehend the heavens stretching away to the uttermost bounds of the horizon, can’t you? You should, therefore, not confine your thoughts to the measure of small streets.

Building Your Life on a Solid Foundation May 19, 2024

Show notes

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. The Will to be Well by Charles Brodie Patterson, published in 1901.

Podcast Excerpt: Day by day we are writing the record of life's journey. Day by day our minds are becoming filled with the pictures of life that are hourly occurring. Thoughts enter the mind and then seem to fade. But do they pass away? By no means. We have a great storehouse wherein all incidents (both great and small) are stored. They all go to ...

The Power of Focusing Your Attention | Success Podcasts May 16, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 904 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Focusing Your Attention. Edited and adapted from Stepping-Stones to Success by Horace D. Hitchcock, published in 1916.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The achievement of focusing the mind on one thing at a time involves not only the energy in striving to do that one thing, but also the ability to put aside other things to make a clear channel for the desired end.

The power to focus attention has been the inseparable adjunct to all achievements in business, politics, art, literature, and science. Through this power, women and men of very ordinary ability have risen from poverty to great affluence.

Get Started on Your Road to Success May 14, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 903 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Getting Started On Your Road to Success. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Are you disheartened? Are you afraid to make a start for fear that you will fail, and your subsequent condition be worse than your first? Such feelings are common to all successful women and men, for they have all had their misgivings at times.

But every person has success within themselves, and to start is to win half the battle. A start toward usefulness is a start that no one has ever yet made in vain. Every person and every genius in all history started before they could actually do the thing. We learn by doing, and we learn in no other way.
