Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 764 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Are there times when you feel that other people are trying to impress their own feelings upon you, or their concepts, ideas, philosophies, religion, or anything else that they believe in? There is an absolute universal standard of morality and ethics that binds all of humanity. This is the truth, this is the way it has to be. This was given by the Creator of the world Himself. It was in such a way that each and every member of society has to be careful of what they do. There are measurements as to what is right and what is not. The paths of truth, which are endless, are not the same as the 88 keys that we find on the piano. On a piano, each key represents a note, and they lend themselves to endless musical combinations. For instance, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Bach – all these amazing creators of music – didn’t need to create new keys in order to display their creative genius and musical brilliance. They just took those same key

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 763 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Where does excitement come from? What is its origin and where does it stop? If you understand your purpose, then excitement begins within yourself. The excitement of knowing that you have a mission in this world. This is what you have been sent down on Earth to develop: to develop all kinds of concepts in life. Development in nature, processes, spirituality, physicality, and everything that’s around you. Make it grow and make it better. Not only better than it is, but better than you found it when you first got here. The electrifying concept of what you have to do to replenish this enthusiasm for the daily part of your purpose and your tasks, every day, is “excitement”. That’s the exciting part about life. That you can create your own excitement from what you do and what you have by valuing the process of time. Time is precious and runs out and is something you cannot recuperate, or regain, for any price at all. No human being

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 762 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times in life when we miss someone or some place. Something that we wish we had again one more time in our lives. It can seem at times that when we had this one person or this one place where we were, we didn’t really appreciate it. That’s the way any one of us feels and you can say it, “I miss you” or, “I miss is.” I, at times, miss some of the members of my family who are no longer alive. I miss them because of what they brought to my life the passion, capabilities; and making me see dreams which I had not ever anticipated could happen. Giving me the strength to go from day to day and giving me the enthusiasm that I needed at times when things were difficult. When doubts came into my life, they changed those doubts into a vision and gave me the opportunity to take on a challenge and see that everything that I wanted to do, could be possible. I miss these people. One, more than anybody else, and that is my own father.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 761 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I spoke to someone yesterday who felt frustrated because he was disorganized. This person told me how upset he was, he couldn’t remember where he put things when he came home, or the last details of the things he had to do, the tasks, errands, or even an important concept he had to implement in their life. It’s simple, disorganization is not to be shunned or to be ignored – it is to be mastered. In order for you to understand disorganization you first have to accept that you are disorganized. Just admit it and say, “Okay, I am a disorganized person. Now where should I start?” I’ll give you some insights as to where you can start in a simplistic way. First and foremost, note that every time you come home, whether it’s the keys to your car or the item that you carry your valuables with, make sure that you put it in one specific place. Keep this as a habit. Make that a determining factor of a discipline that you’re joining today. Next

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 760 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are several forms of leadership in all of its forms. Forms of leadership in the family, the workplace, in schools, or organizations. Leadership is not about cloning anyone to fit the image or disposition of the one leader. This is absolutely incorrect. An authentic leader must embrace human diversity to be a true leader. The distinction is between people who are a positive phenomenon and things that they bring, are actually not a threat. These concepts are rooted in the leaders’ appreciation of the Creator of humanity. The G-d Himself, the Creator who created the whole world, and since G-d created so many distinct spaces, spirits, hearts, and so many different people, the unique quality of a true leader is one that accepts each and every one of them. The diversity that we see here is sewn in the very fabric of existence. We know that there are no two flakes of snow that are alike, or two people that are alike. A leader’s goal

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 759 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a concept in life that every challenge we are presented with packs a certain amount of energy. To meet that challenge requires an amount of energy equal to that of the challenge from us. If the resistance is ten pounds, we need to counter it with ten pounds. But we need eleven pounds or more to overcome it. When it comes to the tension between the matter and spirit, the spirit must apply that much energy, and more to overcome the matter. Physically speaking, two of us cannot sit in the same seat at the same time. This is because physicality, by definition, takes up time and space. In order to share with one another, we have to give up something. If we have food and we share with another, we then have less. If we have money and we share with another, we now have less. Things are measured in a quantitative manner in the world of matter. That’s just what it is. But spiritually speaking, two people can sit in two different

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 758 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “human perfection”. Does it exist? Is it even possible, and where does it come from? You should know, there is always room for advancement in all matters of goodness and holiness. Since these are infinite, as derived from the infinite itself, there is room for improvement. In the human concept there is no such a thing as “human perfection”. A person must make allowances for others in the same way that they expect. Also, the other to have such allowances coming from them. There’s no way at any time, that any one person can say they are perfect. There’s not such a thing. The world is not perfect, but I’ll argue that is our mission in this world is - to make it perfect and to make it better. To make it what it needs to be. There has to be advances on the future. From time to time, a person only has to make up what he has failed to accomplish. Whether in the past or in the present a person should put e

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 757 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times during the day, or during the week, or other at times in our lives that make a difference. There are also moments that are called the “Ah-ha” moments. We are all familiar with them. It’s the moment when the answers you’ve been looking for travel from your heart to your head and then you say, “This is it!” No questions, no interruptions, just a silent recognition of the desired answer you were asking for. Listen and follow what you need to do. Sometimes at that very moment you make an important decision. Something that you’ve been looking for and that you’ve been thinking about. Something that has been continuously in your mind and in your heart. Something that you wanted to find out more about. In actuality it is there, and now it makes a difference. You’ve made the decision to become better, greater. Does that “Ah-ha” moment have to happen at a specific time? Can you create that moment? Can you desire that mom

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 756 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You want to know the best way to run your life? The best way to reach the highest levels of happiness and contentment? The time to reach the ultimate level of goodness? To be the one that you dream to be? Then here is some advice that might help. “Run your own life.” Don't let anyone or anything change the person that you are. Run your own life and don't let this be affected by the mores or the fashions or the dictates, or the direction that everybody else is going into. You see other people smoking. You know that smoking is dangerous to your health, but it has a certain “cool vibe” around it. It makes you look different, perhaps even more important. Don't follow that. Even if you are smoking today, why would you do that? Why would you shorten the days of your life, knowing that so many people have passed away because of the smoking? Why would you shorten your life and your ability to affect the world by your presence? Smoking

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 755 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. The external self is the person who shows the outcome of who they are on the outside. It's how they dress, how they act, and the person that they are trying to impress upon others of who they really are. The internal part, is what they feel, what they think, things that are more personal to themselves. If you want your external part to reflect your internal views, they need to match. How would you do that? Very simple. Don't look so much when it comes to the external of others. Let's say you want to buy an outfit, something that you want to wear. Don't look at fashion or

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 754 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever visited the south or met some people from the south? An interesting thing that they say down there; one is “yes, ma'am” or “yes, sir.” Many people refer to each other as yes, ma'am, yes, sir. This is how they speak. It's interesting. There are also some countries that won't call you by your first or last name. They'll call you Mister and Miss. Titles that are given to people. I find it fascinating that you can be in a place and when you ask them a question, irrespective of the person you're speaking with, they will say to you, “yes, sir,” “yes, ma'am.” This is such a wonderful way to communicate with one another. I find it so elegant and extremely polite. It is not something which they have to force themselves onto. They even have people who speak that way to their own parents. The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she'll say, "Yes, sir," or the mother will ask something of the child and t

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 753 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The world is made up of many different people with different characters, different habits, different personalities. It doesn't really matter where you come from or where you are, or what you've done in your life up until now. It is made up of different people. It's just what the world is. There are three approaches in life. If you've heard about that. There's a saying “As we begin, so it goes” meaning that the way things are going and the way that you start. Great project, for instance, often begin with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and excitement, and energy, and some people are the ones that start setting down new foundations because they found something which was great and it's reflected in their actions. They like to start things, they like to innovate, and this is what they do. That's all they do, and then they walk away. There are others, however, neither trailblazers nor revolutionaries. They enjoy jumping in, once an

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 752 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Some people are seeking the truth about everything in the world. They want to know everything before they can accomplish anything. "I want to know my purpose in life. I want to know what is the reason for the world to be what it is. I want to know why I'm here and what is my mission. I want to know this and I want to know that." They want to know everything. Until they find out, until they're truly in a place where they understand, they refuse to act, accomplish, grow, or become productive. They refuse to. That's quite interesting. This is an endeavor that will be take forever to accomplish, think about that for a moment. It's the long and roundabout way to do something which doesn't necessarily take that long. Think of it this way; let's say a person wanted to know how the body works and they're searching for the secrets of the functions of the physical body. "How does the food gets converted into blood and the tissue, and the

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 751 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You'll often hear people saying, "How can I be better? What can I do to be the best that I can be, or all that I can be? It's not so simple. I'm not sure where to start, besides who am I after all? I'm not very rich, I'm not very bright, I'm not very popular." A person can look at themselves in such a negative way. They are just not too sure about what their abilities are, and they often forget exactly what they have in store for them. This makes it very difficult to achieve anything in the world. The truth of the matter is, that with your mind seek the truth and to critically examine yourself with every move that you make. Make sure that it conforms with truth and integrity of character. You can change everything about you, not just about the person that you are, but the person that you used to be, and become totally new. Quite amazing! Some think erroneously that in order to do that, one must pulverize mountains and shatter b

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 750 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond If you want things to be different, better, or greater know that it all begins with you. Any given day you wish, you can discipline yourself to change everything around you. You can change it all, in just one moment. You can also do nothing if you want to, or you can even pretend rather than perform. This is all up to you – it all begins with you. You can choose at times, if you wish, to rest; or not work. You can entertain yourself over growing and being educated. You can believe in delusion instead of truth or fact. You can have worrying and doubt over trust and confidence. The choice is all up to you. Everything begins with you. Though you need to remember that this opportunity which you have been given, has been given to you for one simple reason – to show you that you have the power to change the world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be given to you. Your circumstances are created by your past choices. Everything that has happ

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 749 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever been given a surprise party for an occasion in your life? It is quite amazing, astonishing, awesome, even revealing. I was given one recently by my children and I can tell you that the feeling is one of a particular beauty. When you see that people who love you gather around and have prepared for you a beautiful surprise. It was a surprise party, a celebration of success and goodness. It will be a time when you look around with amazement and goodness you and see the true fruits of many years of labor. It no longer becomes something of intuition – it’s an acceptance, a discipline, dynamic, and authentic. That’s what it was. Sitting there, I looked around at my children, each one of them made full efforts to make this a special night. Surprising someone can be a detrimental time for some people. It could even be sad. But, a nice surprise that is prepared from the heart to commemorate an event or an occasion, is trul

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 726 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I was asked a question, “How do you control your life? How do you discipline yourself? What do you do to dominate the day? How do you manage and rule everything that you do?” When you take control of your life, the first place to start is with time. Wherever you place your hours of the day, this is where your time control starts. But, you cannot control time until you first control yourself. Life is like a coin; you can spend it any way you wish. But you can only spend it once. So, you have to ask yourself: Where have you placed your heart? Where have you placed your mind and your soul? What is important to you? What was the reason why you entered this world? If you can answer these questions then you’ll be able to control yourself, and you will know that you have to do much better than you did yesterday. When is your time for studying, for prayer? Do you reserve time for your family? Do you have time to help the world?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 725 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond People often wonder what a parent should be. How can we teach a parent? How do we become a parent? What should a parent learn, and where should a parent get their information to become a parent? The truth is, there isn’t any book out there that you can read that can make you a parent. To be a parent means living by example. It is who you are. By being a good person, by being kind and giving, by being understanding and always loving, then you will be a good parent. Parenting is not a trick. It’s not a concept or something that you learn as a technique or procedure. It’s not a program, and it’s certainly not a classroom that you set up in your home to show your children who you are. Parenting is the living example of the person that you wish to be and who you strive to be every day. It’s greater than life. It’s your being, it’s you inside. It’s a gracious and loving human being who wants to give at all times, unconditionally. You liv

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 724 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The world that you live in is actually a world that you’ve created by being the person that you are. Everything that you attract around you is by the way that you act. To be affectionate, for instance, means to be kind to another, to be charitable, and compassionate. It means that you can care about other people, even more so than you care for yourself. To be considerate and cordial about the things that are being asked of you. To give with great amount of kindness but without any intended or non-intended construed ideas in your mind. Just giving for the sake of helping. To be courteous, friendly, gentle, loving, thoughtful, and even tolerant. All of this can be summed up in one word: ‘kind’. To be kind means all of these things, are packaged in one concept. Why not be kind? Why not be that way all the time? Even if, at times, you wonder if it is the right way to be. Even in circumstances where people may not let you be that way. W

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 723 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Often people ask the questions, “What kind of person will I be remembered when I pass away. What will they say about my life?” You don’t have to wait until you pass away for things to be said about you. Why don’t you have it done today? Why not be the person that you would like to be? There are many character traits that a person should have that are of, not only beauty, but also of honor and dignity. Another trait is to be merciful. A merciful person is charitable, somebody who gives of himself, and gives of his possessions with many people around them. Another character trait is to be compassionate. To understand that not everyone’s been blessed with easily or great things as they may seem or may have. Therefore, you have to have compassion about that. Another character trait is to be forgiving. If people have done things which were not appropriate according to your interpretation, why not forgive them? Why not move on? Let i
