Mastering the Game of Life | Motivationals May 09, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 902 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Mastering the Game of Life. Edited and adapted from C’mon Up by Franklin Fillmore Farrington.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Some people have called life a voyage, where we steer for a certain port. Some say it is a climb from the valleys of labor to some great mountain peak of rest. Others call it a journey down a sunlit road that now and then has a shadow. I do not disagree with any of this, but I call life a game. It is a wonderful game. And we all want to win, and we all may win.

The Benefits of Forgiveness | Inspiring Podcasts May 07, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 901 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Benefits of Forgiveness | Inspiring Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Today, I would like to talk about forgiveness. There are people who say they have forgiven, but they have not forgotten. This really means that their forgiveness is incomplete; something is wanting in it; it is defective; it is not free and generous; it is lame and weak. In so far as an injury is not forgotten and entirely overlooked, it is not forgiven, and there is still resentment in your breast.

Now, you are not required to forget the injury and blot it out entirely from your memory. You may recall it to mind, just as you do....

How to Avoid Hard Times | Inspirational Podcasts May 02, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 900 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Hard Times | Inspirational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Don't be overcautious. The person who never risks anything will never have anything. If you are working for someone, do more for them than they expect. That is the only way you can give satisfaction.

Don't be shrewd. Don't try to look out for number one, and make little sharp deals. You may win in every one of them. You may get all the concessions you ask for, but in getting them you take on a handicap that is hard to overcome.

Failure is Always the First Step | Motivational Podcasts Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 899 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Failure is Always the First Step. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It’s been said that most business owners fail. Even if this were true, it doesn't mean that they fail absolutely. It simply means that they failed to make a success of the business in which they started, and are now trying something else. A person should never consider themselves a failure so long as there is an opportunity or life to make one.

When failing in any profession, the worst thing you can say is....

How to Build a Happy Life | Happiness Podcasts Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 898 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Build a Happy Life. Edited and adapted from Life Lessons by Joseph Frank Thompson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let us make the most of our one chance, and not spoil it by any folly or cruelty. How pleasant it will be, as we draw near the goal, if we can look back and realize that though the way was very steep and rough for us in some places, and though it traversed at times a landscape that was all devoid of loveliness, yet, as we passed along, we scattered the seeds of tender words, and helpful deeds, that even now have grown into a carpet of greenery to soften the path for others, and a border of blossoms to cheer them with its beauty.

Important Thoughts to Contemplate | Wisdom Podcasts Apr 23, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 897 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Important Thoughts to Contemplate. Edited and adapted from Morning Thoughts for Every Day in the Year by JR Miller.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember that we are all both sowers and fields. Our words, our acts, our influence, as we touch other lives, become the seeds. This is true not only of the good things that our lives scatter, but also the bad. Each life of ours is a little patch of ground on which other sowers are forever dropping seeds. Every person we talk with, every friendship we cherish, every book we read, sows seeds which will grow and become the harvest of life.

You Can Recreate Yourself | Motivational Podcasts Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 896 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Character & Happiness | Self-Development Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character and Happiness by Alvin Edwin Magary.

Motivational Podcast Excerpt: If you and I are not changing ourselves constantly, we are not fulfilling the character of our potential. It is a persistent and destructive heresy to say that our characters are fixed by influences outside ourselves. The weak person excuses themselves by saying that this or that unfortunate characteristic comes naturally to them. But it is all the more a discredit to them, that being conscious of some particular natural tendency to bad conduct, they have not gained a victory over their primitive self.

Recovering Your Happiness & Joy Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 895 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Recovering Your Happiness & Joy. Edited and adapted from The Joy that No Man Taketh from You by Lilian Whiting.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is true that many troubles are inevitable. They are a component part of life. Death is the universal human experience. Illness is largely so (in slight or serious degree). Misfortunes are, practically, universal, in some form or other. There can be no woman or man who is so great, or so good, or so distinguished, or so rich, or so fortunately placed in this world, who is not liable to almost any kind of misfortune.

And yet.....

Evidence of the Spiritual Life | Uplifting Podcasts Apr 11, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 894 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Evidence of the Spiritual Life | Uplifting Podcast. Edited and adapted from A New Philosophy of Life by John Herman Randall.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The first question to be faced frankly, and if possible, honestly answered, is this: “Is there a normal spiritual life possible to all people — to be lived not in some distant heaven, but here and now in this present world? And if so, of what does it consist, and how is it to be attained?"

Let’s think briefly of the deeper meaning of life as we know it, and consider its development. The most wonderful, and altogether most significant thing to be said about life is this: ....

Start Living the Inspiring Life Meant for You Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

Listen to episode 893 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Start Living the Inspiring Life Meant for You. Edited and adapted from A New Philosophy of Life by John Herman Randall.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It’s been said that character is practically fixed for most people when they reach the age of 25. I suspect this is true — for how many of us rigorously and systematically take ourselves in hand every day, and work on overcoming our imperfections, our weaknesses?

Instead, we often excuse and attempt to justify ourselves, saying things like, "I can’t help it. It’s my temperament," or "My parents are the same way," or, "I am what I am." And, then, we go on spending our time in search of wealth or happiness, discharging more or less faithfully the duties of daily life, while spending little effort each day on eradicating our weaknesses and bettering ourselves.
