Listen to episode 1140 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Change Your Life Around. Adapted from a 1952 lecture by Neville Goddard. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The only work you are called upon to do is work on yourself. Start this work by observing your reactions to life. Remember, your future is not being developed; it already is. The time track is complete, as well as all of the events you can encounter.  As you move up or down the level of your being, changes will occur in your life. You are now resting at a certain level. "Arise, take up your couch and walk," by breaking the threads of life that bind you to the state you are now in. Break these threads by changing your thoughts, for only as you rise within, will you find a corresponding change without. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1139 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Worries & Anxious Thoughts. Edited and adapted from: Your Right to Be Happy by Frank & Marion Van Eps. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: About nothing be anxious." THESE words from the Apostle Paul are not in opposition to earnest and determined effort towards a lofty goal; rather they put us in the best frame of mind for effective action, that state which is most conducive to successful endeavors.  “About nothing be anxious” is a statement that is opposed to faintheartedness, whether it arises from the consciousness of our own limitations, from a distrust of ourselves, or from want of trust in the divine. It is fear that leads to anxiety; anxiety, to faint-heartedness; and faint-heartedness, to failure.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1138 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Sacred Wisdom from the Kybalion. Adapted from the Kybalion, published in 1912 by the Yogi Publication Society. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is always an action and reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking; manifested in all of the airs and phenomena of the Universe. Suns, worlds, people, animals, plants, minerals, forces, energy, mind and matter, yes, even Spirit, manifests this Principle. The Principle manifests in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life history of all things; and finally in the mental states of men and women.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Our condition largely determines the quality of our thought and action — and it is, therefore, of the first importance in winning success that we keep ourselves well and in the right mental and spiritual mood. If our spiritual philosophy be true we impart something of ourselves to every object we come in contact with. Hence our physical and mental conditions must be imparted to our work — and when we are sick or mentally or spiritually unbalanced, our work must necessarily partake of our imperfection. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1137 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Pathway to a Spiritual Life. Edited & adapted from The Way of Peace by James Allen. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Without its aid, you cannot grow into the divine state, and the fadeless glories and joys of Truth will remain hidden from you. Meditation is the intense dwelling, in thought, upon an idea or theme, with the object of thoroughly comprehending it. And whatsoever you constantly meditate upon, you will not only come to understand, but grow more into its likeness, for it will become incorporated into your very being, will become, in fact, your very self.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1136 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Achieve Limitless Wealth. Adapted from the work of Orison Swett Marden. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We assume importance and become a power in the world, just as soon as it is found that we stand for something; that we are not for sale; that we will not lease our ideals for salary, for any amount of money or for any influence or position; that we will not lend our name to anything which we cannot endorse. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

I know I do not understand all the secret springs of the acts of others, hence I will be charitable in my judgments. I know that what I know is to what I don’t know as the number one is to infinity, hence I will try always to be teachable. I know that the past cannot be changed, hence I will make the best of it; and that I cannot control the future, hence I will not worry about it. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1135 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living in the Great Eternal Now. Adapted from How to Stay Young by Christian D. Larson. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is only in the now that you can live. You can live neither in the past nor in the future. You may think of the past or the future, but you can live only in the now. To train the mind to concentrate the whole of attention upon the great eternal now is to develop the consciousness of the "isness" of the now, and to consciously feel that its purpose is to eliminate the consciousness of age completely.  It is not possible for the mind to feel that it is growing old, so long as it feels that it lives in the now, and that the now is. The now is eternal; that is, the now eternally is now. The now never ceases to be now; therefore to live in the now is to continue to be now, what you are now.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1134 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living the Optimistic Life. Edited and adapted from Helen Keller’s essay on optimism. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let it be remembered that the world’s philosophers — the Sayers of the Word — were optimists; so also are the men and women of action and achievement—the Doers of the Word. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.  The optimist believes, attempts, achieves. They stand always in the sunlight. Some days the wonderful, the inexpressible, arrives and shines upon them, and they are there to welcome it. The soul of the optimist meets its own and beats a glad march to every new discovery, every fresh victory over difficulties, every addition to human knowledge and happiness. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1133 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Here is Your Key to Success. Edited and adapted from The Keys to Success by B.C. Forbes. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Nobody can hand you a ready-made key to open the door of success. You must fashion your own key and find the combination of the lock for yourself.  No magician can waft you to the heights of fortune and fame. You cannot fly there on the wings of an airplane.  The road, often rocky, has to be traversed on foot. You, and you alone, can supply the motive power. You, and you alone, must put forth the necessary exertion. No one can remove from your shoulders the burden of the effort. You must do your own climbing.  Nor are there any mystic short-cuts. The full distance must be honestly, even painstakingly traveled. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1132 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Emotional Forces that Drive Success. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Will Power by Clare Tree Major. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Self-control is emotional control. Like all forces inherent in human nature, the emotional forces work equally thoroughly in either direction, as builders or as destroyers. You are, whether you like it or not, dealing with forces, with laws, with energy, which must expend themselves, must carry out their predestined mission — forces as blind and as inevitable as the forces of electricity or the laws of gravitation.  You must either be hurled to destruction by them, or you must control and use them. You cannot escape them. They are part of your nature. The more vital and intense your nature, the greater your possibilities of power. The fact that you are awake enough to be interested in self-development is sufficient proof of your own possibility of superseding in development the masses which make up the great average class of humanity.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1131 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Succeed in the Game of Life. Adapted from “If I Were Twenty-One” by Dr. Frank Crane. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:Never forget that anyone can be happy if they choose to be. Happiness does not depend on circumstance, but upon YOU. This is perhaps the greatest truth in the world, and the one most persistently disbelieved. Happiness, said Thomas Carlyle, is as the value of a common fraction, which results from dividing the numerator by the denominator. The numerator, in life, is What We Have. The denominator is What We Think We Ought to Have. Humankind may be divided into two classes: the Fools and the Wise. The fools are eternally trying to get happiness by multiplying the numerator; the wise divide the denominator. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1130 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of Cheerfulness. Adapted from The Optimistic Life by Orison Swett Marden. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:Joyous people are not only the happiest, but the longest lived, the most useful and the most successful. A sense of humor, the love of fun in human nature, is a normal, natural lubricant which oils life's machinery, makes it run smoothly, and relieves that grinding of the bearings which prematurely wears away so many lives.  The 19th century women’s activist Lydia Maria Child used to say: "I think cheerfulness in every possible way. I hang prisms in my window to fill the room with rainbows." This is the right kind of philosophy, the great medicine of the mind, the best tonic for the body. The habit of looking on the sunny side, the laughter-side or ludicrous side of things, is a fortune in itself. I would rather be a millionaire of cheerfulness and sunshine than of dollars.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1129 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Be Calm, Cool & Collected. Adapted from a lecture by Dr. George Lincoln Walton. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If we are to change our mental attitudes, we should begin by modifying them by suggestion. In attacking faulty mental habits, suggestion is the most potent agent at our command. There is nothing new or pseudo-scientific about the practical employment of self-suggestion toward achieving poise and equanimity. Lao Tzu urged his followers to guard their vitality by entering into harmony with their environment. And Cicero claimed that to learn to live without tumult is the best training for the fulfillment of a wish. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1127 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Life-Changing Power of Habit. Adapted from book The Mind & Its Education by George Herbert Betts. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong person has stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the men and women who are actually in the arena, whose faces are marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strive valiantly; who err; who come short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. These are the brave souls who actually strive to DO the deeds; who know great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1127 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Life-Changing Power of Habit. Adapted from book The Mind & Its Education by George Herbert Betts. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:Habit is our "best friend or worst enemy." We are "walking bundles of habits." Habit is a "cable which we cannot break." Such are the popular expressions linked with habitual behavior. In other words, let me know your habits of life, and you have revealed your moral standards and conduct. Let me discover your intellectual habits, and I understand your type of mind and methods of thought. In short, our lives are largely a daily round of activities dictated by our habits in this line or that.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1126 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Beauty & The Philosophy of Tea. Edited and adapted from The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzō. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about humanity and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

This Power is of the Spirit, therefore, it is unconquerable. It is not the power of the ordinary life, or finite will, or human mind. It transcends these, because, being spiritual, it is of a higher order than either physical or even mental. This Power lies dormant, and is hidden within us until we are sufficiently evolved and unfolded to be entrusted with its use.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
