Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from “Self-Control: It’s Kingship & Majesty” by William George Jordan

Podcast Excerpt: Most people sympathize too much with themselves. They take themselves as a single sentence isolated from the great text of life. They study themselves too much as separated from the rest of humanity, instead of being vitally connected with their fellow men and women.

There are some people who surrender to sorrow as others give way to dissipation. There is a vain pride of sorrow, as well as of beauty. Most individuals have a strange glow of vanity in looking back upon their past and feeling that few others in life have suffered such trials, hardships, and disappointments as have come to them.

Listen to episode 859 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Eternal Wisdom of Henry Ward Beecher. Edited from the works of Henry Ward Beecher.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: “‎Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. 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. You are rich according to what you are, not according to what he have.”

Listen to episode 858 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Transformative Power of Love & Service. 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.

Podcast Excerpt: “There is a legend of a wonderful magic mirror which people used to journey from all parts of the world to look into. This mirror was supposed to give them back a picture of themselves as they really were, not as they (or as their friends or enemies) thought they were.

Once upon a time, a person who looked into the magic mirror...”

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.

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. Then love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the consciousness that I can think, act, and attain heaven here on earth.

Listen to episode 854 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Turning Solitude Into Abundance. Edited and adapted from Happiness Road by Alice Hegan Rice.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Each of us rules over an uncharted kingdom of untold possibilities, which has but one subject: that is you, yourself. Yet in this vast solitude we are never alone, for through it all the wisdom of the world has passed. Here poets have glimpsed dreams of immortal beauty; musicians have first heard divine harmonies; painters have conceived their loftiest compositions.

Listen to episode 853 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Be Truly Free & Happy. 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.....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is a place for every human being in the world — a special place and a special work for each one of us to do; a work which no other person can do; a work that is essentially and wholly connected with every woman and man. To find this place in the world and to come to know the lessons that are best for you to learn, is a necessary step toward making a success of your life.

Listen to episode 850 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Keys to a Noble and Successful Life. Edited and adapted from Gaining the Round Above by Gustavus S. Kimball.

Inspirational Podcast Transcript: Remember that it is OPPORTUNITY that makes you and your fortune, provided you have learned how to take advantage of the opportunity.

Opportunity comes sooner or later to everyone, but rare is the person who is ready to seize it. It is not luck or natural brilliancy which puts one individual so far ahead in places of trust and honor. You will find they achieved their success by educated and well-directed energy.

Listen to episode 849 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Build a Real Heroic Life | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Work by Hugh Black.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life, after all, is largely a matter of detail. It is filled up to all of us with its routine of small duties and usual tasks and trivial acts. An hour is made up of moments; a day is made up of hours; life is made up of days. The number of our days is the extent of our life; and the character of our days is the character of our life.

Listen to episode 848 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How Your Thoughts Create Your Life. Edited and adapted from “The Message of New Thought” by Abel Allen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Thoughts of health, thoughts of joy, thoughts of kindness, bring joy and health to the one who entertains them and sends them forth. If we think ourselves inherently bad, we shall reap the fruits of that thought.

If we conceive of ourselves as weak and unworthy, we shall develop those qualities and actualize them in our daily lives. If we recognize divine attributes as our inheritance, we shall grow into the likeness of those attributes.

Podcast Excerpt: We generally say "I have a soul” although the correct statement is "I am a soul." The cause of this mistake is found in the fact that the ordinary person is only conscious of the surface.

To them the outer person is the only real person, because they are not conscious of the deeper and more permanent principles of their being. They, therefore, think of the objective person as the true self. But when the mind begins to....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What is it to live? Is it simply to eat, drink, and be merry? Is it to learn a little, here and there; to laugh and play; to sleep, weep, toil, and battle from day to day, and from year to year for food and shelter? Is it to bend every energy to the acquirement of wealth, fame, or position?

Life is more than that. It has larger uses. It contains greater and grander results. It holds.....

“Do not dare not to dare… Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.”

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember that our years, rightly lived, should bring a multiplication, not a relinquishment, of interests. Even that which is very familiar contains something new for us if our senses are not dimmed.

The musical scale has only eight fundamental notes. Yet every piece of music illustrates a new use of the old — from new combinations arise new harmonies. Surely, this world (and its wonders and mysteries) are sufficient to hold our interest for a lifetime....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To build and maintain desirable qualities of mind, you must begin right now, this minute, to use every constructive faculty you have and to check carelessness in your speech, as well as in your thought — for in fact, you could not express yourself at all unless the brain first gave the signal.

Listen to episode 843 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How the Law of Attraction Really Works. Adapted from the book Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There has been a lot of nonsense written and spoken about the Law of Attraction. People have been taught that all they need to do is to adopt a certain mental attitude, think thoughts of success and abundance, and then sit and wait for the abundance of all good things to drop from the skies at their feet.

The folly of it is seen when we find that these teachers of "abundance" and "opulence" have to work for a living — by teaching the very thing which, if true, would save them from all the necessity of working.
