Listen to episode 868 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Secret of the Great Life | Spiritual Podcasts. Edited and adapted from In the Light of the Spirit by Christian D. Larson.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We are not here to drift with the stream or to fold our arms passively and say that we will let the best come to pass. The truth is, that if there be anything we want, we must work for it. If we wish to make life ideal, we must make it so ourselves. The things we desire do not come to us simply through mere passivity or expectation. We are living in an imperfect world, a world which is in the process of growth; therefore, we meet undeveloped conditions on every side...-----------Transform your life in 30 days with our MAJESTY meditation program: https://livinghour.org/majesty.

Listen to episode 867 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Winning the Challenge of Life. Edited and adapted from The Challenge of Life by Charles Forrest Moore.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When I look back over the years of my eventful, if yet unprofitable, life, I believe that not a single day nor hour of it has been lived in strict accordance with my original intent. I have not only been surprised by the repeated changes in my plans, but I have been startled as well by the swiftness and completeness of their reversals. It has been the exception, rather than the rule, when I actually have been able to accomplish the things I set out to do, and at the time and in the manner I meant to.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Miller.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The best of life is yet to be! And the way to reach the better things is by forgetting the things that are behind us, and to always reach forward to the things which are ahead.Of course, there is a proper use to be made of our past.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from The Heart of New Thought by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, published in 1902.Podcast Excerpt: NEVER say that you wish your situation were different! Never wish you had some other person's life, troubles, or worries. Accept your own as a working basis, the life that is best for you. Then go ahead and change whatever displeases you.

Edited and adapted from The Call of the Upper Road by Kathrine Ross Logan.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: All roads start from where you are. They run in all directions, and you may wonder which is the best road to take. All have a way of their own of inviting you, and each has its own particular enticements. Roads seem to know you and expect you. They keep open for you both day and night. But there is a big difference in the roads, and it is most important that you choose the best.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 864 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Live a Life Worthy of Immortality. Edited and adapted from Making a Life by Cortland Myers.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A noble purpose is life's guarding, guiding angel. It alone can take us safely through a lion's den. In one hand it holds safety, and in the other success. A high ideal is a lever under your life, and means the elevation of your character. The person who is satisfied with their first effort, or their first step, or their first attainment, never reaches greatness.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 863 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Embracing Change & A Joyful Future. Edited & adapted from The Wonders of Life by Ida Luella Rettinghouse Lyon.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When you begin to help yourself by doing what you can in your own way, you will find help as you progresses — help that will come in unexpected ways, and as you need it. Disasters must, necessarily, overtake us. There are storms in the psychological, as well as in the physical, life. But there is a purpose in the intensity of feeling which such mental disturbances awaken. They serve to prepare the soul for the happiness which is to follow. -----------Transform your life in 30 days with our MAJESTY meditation program: https://livinghour.org/majesty.

Listen to episode 862 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret of Financial Success. Edited and Adapted from Three lectures on "The Laws of Financial Success" by B.F. Austin.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Financial success is won by those who dare to think big. Little thoughts, plans, and ideals beget little interest, little effort, little enthusiasm in the individual, and awaken little or no interest in the minds of others. The radical difference between the pop-corn vendor at the fair and the next Steve Jobs is in the size of their ideas and concepts. Popcorn ideas beget a popcorn life. Great ideas, projects, and enterprises rouse the soul of the individual to the effort, courage, and daring that is commensurate with grand ideas. -----------Transform your life in 30 days with our MAJESTY meditation program: https://livinghour.org/majesty.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from The Soul of the Indian, which was written by the Native American author and physician Charles Eastman in 1911.Podcast Excerpt: THE original attitude of Native Americans toward the Eternal, the "Great Mystery" that surrounds and embraces us, was as simple as it was exalted. To them it was the supreme conception, bringing with it the fullest measure of joy and satisfaction possible in this life. The worship of the "Great Mystery" was silent, solitary, free from all self-seeking. It was silent, because all speech is of necessity feeble and imperfect; therefore the souls of my ancestors ascended to .....------------Get our podcast with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patronSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 861 of the Inspirational Living podcast: When to Do When Things Go Wrong. Edited and adapted from Success Through Thought Habit by Benjamin Johnson.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Once in a while, we may be placed in the trying position of not being able to blame anyone for our plight, and, as we think things over, we are forced to admit that were circumstances to be again arranged as they had been, we would do the same things all over again. Then, perhaps, we grow a little sorry for ourselves and we say — beneath our breaths — "What is the use of trying. I was just as good as I could have been for days, weeks, and months, and then this awful thing had to happen for no reason at all." Next, we may get angry, or possibly disgusted, and just in proportion to our own state of mind, does the outlook continue to look worse and worse until soon dull despair settles down in great chunks of gloom. "What is the remedy?" you ask. There is only one....-----------Transform your life in 30

Listen to episode 860 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of a Joyful Heart | Happiness Podcasts. Edited and adapted from A Book of Friendly Thoughts by Nixon Waterman.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many centuries ago that wise and admirable philosopher, Epictetus, discovered that "happiness is not in strength, or wealth, or power; or all three. It lies in ourselves, in true freedom, in the conquest of every ignoble fear, in perfect self-government, in a power of contentment and peace, and the even flow of life — even in poverty, exile, disease and the very valley of the shadow." --------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our podcast with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patronSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Never pity yourself. Be a hard taskmaster to yourself — and be lenient to everybody else.”“No person can tell whether they are rich or poor by turning to their bank book. It is in the heart that riches lie.

Edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We must touch other lives or lose power. We are so constituted that a thousand relations with our community are necessary for our largest development, our completest life. When we cut ourselves off from the common life, we cut off a great many currents of power, close many avenues of interrelation which bring strength and rich experience. --------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our podcast with full transcripts and without ads by visiting: https://livinghour.org/patronSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to episode 857 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Power of Being Thorough. Edited and adapted from The Mastery of Destiny by James Allen.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: THOROUGHNESS consists in doing little things as though they were the greatest things in the world. That the little things of life are of primary importance, is a truth not generally understood. And the thought that little things can be neglected and thrown aside is at the root of that lack of thoroughness which is so common and results in imperfect work and unhappy lives.------------Today's podcast was sponsored by Shopify.

Listen to episode 855 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Optimism to Transform Your Life. Adapted from the essay Optimism by Helen Keller.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things.

Now I rejoice in the consciousness that I can think, act, and attain heaven here on earth. ------------Today's podcast was sponsored by Shopify.

Edited and adapted from Youth and Opportunity by Thomas Tapper.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When our tongues are tied we cannot speak; when our hands are tied we cannot labor; when our feet are tied we cannot travel. If we lived under a tyrant who, with little warning, tied our tongue, hands, and feet, and made us helpless, we should rebel and fight for freedom. And yet we live under just such a tyrant; or, rather, a family of tyrants, who not only tie our tongues, hands, and feet, but our ability, perseverance, happiness, and pleasures of life.These tyrants are Fear, Worry, Suspicion, Hatred & Co.....------------Today's podcast was sponsored by Shopify.
