The Essentials of Success | Inspirational Podcasts
2d ago00:16:59Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1124 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Words as a Powerful Force. Edited and adapted from The Mental Cure by Warren Felt Evans.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If you find yourself lacking in persistence, this weakness may be remedied by building a stronger fire under your desires. Great fortunes (be they figurative or literal) gravitate to those whose minds have been prepared to "attract" them, just as surely as water gravitates to the ocean.There simply is no substitute for persistence. It cannot be supplanted by any other quality. Remember this, and it will hearten you, in the beginning, when the going may seem difficult and slow. Those who have cultivated the Habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive toward the top of the ladder.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Your Words are a Powerful Force
4d ago00:11:40Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1124 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Words as a Powerful Force. Edited and adapted from The Mental Cure by Warren Felt Evans.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Your words are charged with the very life of you -- the vital force of your soul. They affect not only the mind, but they sink into the interior depths of our being. They are not like leaves loosened from the trees by an autumn wind, and strewn upon a lake to float upon its surface. They have spiritual gravity, which causes them to sink into the hidden depths of the spirit.Words are the index of character. They enclose within them our thoughts, and the tone with which they are spoken indicates the state of our affections. The utterance of a single word can reveal the love, fear, or hate that lurks within it, and, as such, our life and character are laid open to public view. By the effect of our words, others can perceive the cause. The heart is the fountain; words are the stream. If the fountain is clear as crystal, the issuing spring will be the water of life. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

He was suffering from insomnia and from a physical lethargy amounting almost to paralysis. Worst of all, he had a bad case of "self-pity," and he felt that the self-pity was fully justified.He was staying at a small Art Colony, trying to rebuild his wrecked life and wretched body. Among those at the Colony was Mike, a Hawaiian boy. Mike seemed to be always cheerful, always prosperous. And, naturally, Blanding wondered why.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

2w ago00:14:03Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1122 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Let a Great Purpose Be Your Guiding Star. Edited & adapted from the motivational work of James Allen.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Until your thoughts are linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment in life. The majority of us simply allow our thoughts to "drift" aimlessly upon the ocean of life, which is why we so often unexpectedly crash against a rocky shore.Those who have no central purpose in life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pity, all of which are indications of weakness that lead to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Wisdom and Power of Silence

Thank you.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is great power in the words of a wise woman or man, but their silence is more powerful still. The greatest people teach us most effectively when they are purposely silent. The silent attitude of the great teacher (perhaps noted by only one or two disciples) is recorded and preserved through the ages; while the flamboyant words of the merely clever talker — heard by thousands, and at once popularized — are neglected and forgotten in, at most, a few generations.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

What Are You Living For? | Inspirational Life Lessons
2w ago00:14:02Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1121 of the Inspirational Living podcast: What Are You Living For? Adapted from New Thought Common Sense and What Life Means to Me by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Do you ever stop and ask yourself for what you are living? Is it for "success" in some undertaking? Then what are you doing to produce success? No matter how hard you may be working, unless you are finding pleasure and pride in your work, and doing it with cheerfulness, you are not moving forward toward real success.One month of such application of your powers will achieve more for you than a year of grumbling, dogged work, done with unwillingness and dislike of the task. Whatever you are doing, reason yourself into a love of your labor, until you can leave it for something more agreeable.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Dare to Become a Reformer | Motivational Podcasts
3w ago00:16:42Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1120 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Dare to Become a Reformer. Edited & adapted from the book The Power of Truth by William George Jordan.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The reformers of the world are those men and women of mighty purpose. They are leaders with the courage of individual conviction who dare run counter to the criticism of the crowd. They are the souls who voluntarily bear crosses for what they accept as right, even without the guarantee of redemption. They are the heroes who gladly go down into the depths of silence, darkness and oblivion, only to emerge finally like divers, with pearls in their hands.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Most Beautiful Thing on Earth

Learn about the benefits our patrons receive by going to https://livinghour.org/patron. Thank you.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The most beautiful thing on this earth, that which every human being craves most is love. The mere suggestion of life without it is unthinkable — for life is love. Where love is not there is no life. There is only its semblance. The saddest situation in life, one where most of us would be tempted to play the coward, is the feeling that nobody cares what becomes of us — whether we win or lose in the great game of life. As long as there is someone who cares, the motive is not all gone. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

How to Harness the Power of Sleep
3w ago00:16:09Tap to summarizeListen to episode 1119 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Prepare the Mind for Sleep. Edited and Adapted from the book The Victorious Attitude by Orison Swett Marden.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Would you not think yourself fortunate to have an assistant of great ability who was available free of charge, day and night, and so susceptible to instructions that even your slightest mental suggestion would be faithfully carried out? If you had such an assistant, and knew that in spite of their great ability they would be able to do what you suggested only in proportion to your belief in their power to do so, would you not be careful to entertain no doubts of their ability to carry out your wishes or suggestions?Now, just substitute for this personal assistant your subconscious self, that part of you which is below the threshold of your consciousness, and try to realize that this self is actually the sort of assistant I have just described, capable of carrying out all your desires, of executing all your purposes, of realizing all your ambitions, to the exact extent of your belief in its powers, and you will get some idea of what it can accomplish for you.--------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
