Timeless Thoughts About Life | Kahlil Gibran Quotes Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

I have temporarily lost my voice due to Covid-19, so today's podcast is the rebroadcast of an early reading from 2016.

Listen to episode 690 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Timeless Thoughts About Life. Edited and Adapted from the book The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Some people say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “No, sorrow is the greater.” But I say to you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at the edge of the bed, remember that the other is asleep under the sheets.

Everyone recognizes that the soul is sometimes a battlefield, one where reason and judgment wage war against passions and appetites.

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, so that it may sing. And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and (like the phoenix) rise above its own ashes.

Mastering Discouragement & Anger | Self-Help Podcasts Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 688 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Mastering Discouragement & Anger. Edited and adapted from The Secret of Success by Wilmot Henry Wheeler.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Welcome to the Inspirational Living podcast. I’d like to start today with a special announcement. Tomorrow (Wednesday the 15^th) I am going to be conducting a Success Mindset Masterclass with Blisspot. Registration for the online webinar is free. To join, please visit LivingHour.org/masterclass. Thank you.

Today’s reading was edited and adapted from The Better Way, or, Lessons in Trueness, Wisdom and Love, by Wilmot Henry Wheeler, published in 1896.

Recently I was asked the question, “Is it ever right to get angry?” Well, if by anger you mean simply a great disapproval of what someone has done, or is doing, then the answer is: “Yes, anger is sometimes right. But this is not the usual meaning of the word; for it nearly always refers to a more or less excited and unpitying disapproval of what someone has done, the excitement showing itself in a tendency to lose your self-control and act or feel unwisely or selfishly. And I venture to say that ninety-nine times out of a hundred, when we are forced to admit to others, or in our own secret thoughts, that when we are angry, this is the definition of anger which applies to our case. Is it right, then, to get angry? Most emphatically, No — now matter how great the provocation, for it is often rooted in selfishness.

Success Habits for a Successful Life Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 687 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Success Habits for a Successful Life. Edited and adapted from The Secret of Success by Frank Everit Mitchell.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There are at least three kinds of people in the world: 1) those who do not know how to succeed, and do not think it worth their trouble to learn; 2) those who know how but fail because they do not live up to their knowledge; and 3) those who do succeed, because they practice the principles which are consistent with the end they have in view.

I have known people who had all the knowledge they needed to build a thriving business. And yet they were unsuccessful. Why? Because the ...

Reaching Your Utopia | Motivational Podcasts Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 686 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Reaching Your Utopia | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from The Secret of Success by Frank Everit Mitchell.

Motivational Podcast Excerpt: True success is not the result of luck, guess, or chance. It is the ripened fruit of persistent industry wedded to intelligent conception. And the reason why so few of those who try succeed is not that they set the standard too high, or that they have not the ability to reach it, but because they lose heart on the road, relax their effort, yield to discouragements, and thus become careless or indifferent. They lose sight of the end they had in view, and allow themselves to drift with the current, resting on their oars, waiting for something to turn up.

Make a Decision Today | Success Podcasts Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 685 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Make a Decision Today | Success Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is one habit which you should cultivate, not only for its usefulness in general, but especially for its value in developing true decision of character. That is, the habit of doing everything that should be done, precisely at the time when it ought to be done. Everything in human character goes to wreck under the reign of procrastination, while prompt action gives to all things a corresponding life and energy.

Motivation for the Courageous Life May 31, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 684 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Motivation for the Courageous Life. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Motivational Podcast Excerpt: The world owes much to its women and men and of courage. I do not mean physical courage, but the courage that displays itself in silent effort and endeavor — that dares to endure all, and suffer all, for truth and duty. Such courage is more truly heroic than the achievements of physical valor.

Mastering the Art of Self-Control | Life Lessons May 24, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 682 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Mastering the Art of Self-Control. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A strong temper is not necessarily a bad temper. But the stronger the temper, the greater the need for self-discipline and self- control. It is not our faults that ruin us, so much as the manner in which we conduct ourselves after the faults have been committed. The wise person will profit by the suffering they cause, and avoid them in the future; but there are those on whom experience exerts no ripening influence, and who only grow narrower, bitterer, and more vicious with time.

Turn Hard Times Into Blessings | Inspirational Podcasts May 19, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 681 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Turning Hard Times Into Blessings. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Inspirational Podcast Transcript: You may go to school all your life and yet be a dunce. Your head may be a library stuffed with book knowledge, yet you may not know enough to hoe a hill of beans. You may lack that practical wisdom which make a success of life. You may have talents bright as the sun, yet be dependent on very ordinary people. You may be a know-everything, and a do-nothing.

The Path of Cheerfulness | Happiness Podcasts May 12, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 679 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Path of Cheerfulness | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Character Sketches for Boys and Girls by Henry Davenport Northrop.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The influence that a cheerful person has on others is almost limitless. You probably have known people within whose company you felt uplifted, amiable and hopeful, equal to anything! I do not know a more enviable gift than the energy to sway others to good; to diffuse around others an atmosphere of cheerfulness, generosity, magnanimity. It is not a matter of great talent; nor entirely a matter of great energy; but rather of earnestness and honesty — a quiet, constant energy which is like soft rain gently penetrating the soil.

Putting Your Fears Behind You | Self-Help Podcasts Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

Listen to episode 667 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Putting Your Fears Behind You. Edited and adapted from How to Lick Our Fears by David V. Bush.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The person who knows how to face their fear has the best chance of being happy, for fear ruins happiness. Thus it’s important to teach our children how to conquer fear. We cannot rid our children of fears by teaching them that they should not be afraid, but only by helping them to understand rather than to fear; by teaching them that these things in their path, which have seemed to them ogres, are after all, on closer view and knowledge, friendly things designed to help, guide, and keep us from losing our way in the dark.
