Listen to episode 784 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Happiness. Edited and adapted from the book Happiness by Hugh Black.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is an art of happiness, which is like the art of living. No list of rules can cover all the ground — for life does not go in straight lines, and never runs exactly according to schedule. There is also the personal equation, the peculiar angle from which each person looks at life.

Listen to episode 783 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How Successful People Think, Grow, and Win. Edited and adapted from Success & How to Win at Life by B.F. Austin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: How is Success Won? One great secret of success is found in Concentration. This consists in centering our thoughts upon a single object and holding this object in the mind's eye persistently. The thoughts, purposes, will power, effort and resources of every life should be united in some single great object. A life unified, united, concentrated, dominated by one great purpose, becomes mighty, while a life with a thousand diverging purposes must necessarily be weak.

Listen to episode 781 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Traveling Your Road to Happiness. Edited and adapted from Happiness Road by Alice Hegan Rice.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To each thinking adult come hours of discouragement, depression, and despair. Were it not so, we would never seek to right the wrongs that exist all about us. But it is possible to build our characters, develop our abilities, and discipline our moods, so that we can attain an integrated personality which no change of fortune can permanently affect.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Men and women are human magnets. Just as a steel magnet drawn through a pile of rubbish will pull out only the things which have an affinity for it, so we are constantly drawing to us the things and the people that respond to our thoughts and ideals.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Aristotle somewhere says that the person who wins out in the fight must be slow in their movements and deliberate in their speech — for by doing so, they will not be worried over the trifles which make people speak in shrill tones and rapidly move here and there.

By shutting close your life in hour-tight compartments, with the mind directed intensely upon the subject in hand, you will acquire the capacity to do more and more. And once that mental habit is established, you are safe for life.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The reason why our lives can, at times, feel disappointing and ineffective, is because we do not really live in the day. We do not concentrate our energy, our ambition, our attention, our enthusiasm, upon the day we are living.

Resolve to enjoy yourself today. Enjoy today, and do not let the shadows of tomorrow, the forebodings, and the things you dread, rob you of what is yours today — your inalienable right to be happy today.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Many are the beings in us that are never born — many the lives beating their wings against our bars, seeking a freedom that we forbid. Until some enthusiasm is unleashed within us, we do not realize how partially, how timidly we have lived.

No longer let us keep our true selves under lock and key....

Listen to episode 765 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Using the Power of the Indestructible You. How to Develop Your Will Power by Clare Tree Major.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The quality of pure matter is Inertia. The quality of pure spirit is Energy. From a combination of the two, worlds are made. You are a world in yourself. You are in your human life a combination of these fundamental parts: spirit and matter. You reflect their fundamental characteristics: Energy and Inertia. That is the beginning and end of your fight: to bring spirit triumphant from under the yoke of matter — to DO, not to give in.

Listen to episode 764 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Dare to do Mighty Things | Motivational Podcasts. Edited from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt.

Motivational Podcast Excerpt: Although you may have leisure, it is not to be spent in idleness — for wisely-used leisure means merely that those who possess it (being free from the necessity of working for their livelihood) are all the more bound to carry on some kind of noble work in the sciences, the arts, in exploration of some kind — work of the type the world most needs, and the successful carrying out of which reflects great honor upon themselves and helps or inspires others.

Listen to episode 763 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Inspiration for Clear and Positive Thinking. Edited and adapted from Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You have heard me say in the past that you are what you think. But what DO you think? How orderly are your thought processes? How straight is your thinking? And how clean are your thoughts? There are certain mental cobwebs that clutter up the thinking of almost everyone, even the most brilliant minds. Negative feelings, emotions, passions — habits, beliefs and prejudices. Our thoughts become entangled in these webs.

Listen to episode 762 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Forgetting. Edited and adapted from Go Forward by J.R. Miller.

Inspirational Podcast Transcript: We are constantly being told to remember, and urgently counseled not to forget. “It is perilous to forget the sins of the past,” people say. But there is a sense also in which our only hope is in forgetting. We never can get on to higher things if we insist on clinging to our past and carrying it with us. We can make progress only by forgetting. We can go forward only by leaving behind what is past.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: So many of us today are not really settled, do not really live in the now, but we are sure we WILL live tomorrow, or next year, when business is better, our fortunes greater: when we move into our new house, get our new furnishings, our new car, get rid of things that annoy us, and have everything around us to make us comfortable. THEN we will be happy.

Listen to episode 760 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Unseen Elements of Success & Greatness. Edited and adapted from Levels of Living by Henry Frederick Cope.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is an old mystical saying that the things which are not seen are essential to all success. We are blind if we can see only with our eyes, and we only are sensible when we know that there are many things beyond our senses. Practical people consider all the factors to every problem, and things are not less real to them because they might be intangible.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Individuality gives personal beauty, even to plain features. One who is imbued with great independence stands out from among the public. They are a leader. They help to mold the times in which they live. They are a builder. By them individuals arise to higher altitudes. They are an inspirer, a stronghold, an uplifter of the human race. The strongly individualized character inspires others with energy and confidence.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Each dawning day begins a new life. Not a single self-imposed limitation of yesterday can prevail in your new day. The world is yours. You have power within you to conquer every situation. Everything lies before you. You stand at the threshold of opportunities.

Each morning exalts a new existence for you. Think of yourself as reincarnated each night, invested with new wisdom and strength, empowered with new might to accomplish whatever you set out to do.

Listen to episode 757 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The 3 Ingredients of a Happy Life. Edited and adapted from The True Source of a Happy Life by Hugh Wayt.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The law of happiness is fulfilled in one word — LOVE. It is the rich soil from which grows joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, meekness, and moderation. Out of it also grow self-control, largeness of heart and life, contentment, cheerfulness, kindness, and hopefulness. These elements enter largely into the happiness of every individual. They are the fruitful branches that grow on the vine of love.
