Listen to episode 804 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How to Be a Happy Person. Edited and adapted from Creed of the Dauntless by Frank B. Whitney.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To be a happy person, you must not be passive or lazy. You must take an active hold upon life if you would possess happiness. You must not place your trust in others to make you happy. You need to find happiness beyond the world of effects, the world of personality, the world of phantoms.

Where should you turn? Within yourself. The royal road points in that direction.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: “Anybody can become angry — that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power, and it is not easy.”

Our Sunday Talks Excerpt:Your ability to take a new hold on life depends upon your ability to break with the thoughts of the past and acquire a new outlook on the present and future. Taking a new hold, then, is simply a matter of gaining the right perspective of time. If the past continues to be something to you, then the unpleasant events of the past will continue to live. Their hold on you will prevent your taking a new hold on life.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To the earnest soul, life is rich beyond price. When we think of all that we may do and become for humanity, how valuable time becomes and how short it seems! But the terms “long" and "short" have little meaning when applied to the life of the soul. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. The individual who most lives, thinks most, feels the noblest, and acts the best. Time misspent is not lived, but lost.

Listen to episode 801 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living Without Fear or Anxiety | You are Powerful. Edited and adapted from How to Develop Your Will Power by Clare Tree Major.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The most destructive force in the world is FEAR. Almost all failure and almost all crime can be traced to one form or another of this most prevalent evil. Fear is the father of doubt, and doubt is the murderer of success. It shows itself in many forms, from physical fear to the more subtle and dangerous forms which attack our mental life and sap our strength at its very foundation.

Our Sunday Talks Excerpt: Modern psychology has enabled us to discover ourselves.Through it, we are gaining faint glimpses of the powers of the great soul within, of that reservoir of intelligence and wisdom to which we may find access when we have learned the way. We are learning the potency of thought: that thought is our empire, that thought is the avenue to the infinite treasures of the subconscious mind, and that thought can control our entire personality.

Listen to episode 800 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret Science of Joy & Happiness. Edited and adapted from Your Right to Be Happy, by Frank & Marion Van Eps, published in 1922.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We must cultivate the attitude of joy and gladness — for his very state of mind is power, and it leads to effective operation and desired results. Nothing else will bring one to enjoy life, and everything in life, more than rejoicing as a persistent and cultivated attitude. It is the first step in mastering a situation. It is culture of the best kind.

Listen to episode 799 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Navigate the Journey of Life. Edited and adapted from The Palace of Mirrors and Other Essays by Joseph Frank Thompson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We can either recall pleasant memories and contemplate cheerful possibilities; or we can muse upon our sad experiences and prospects that are dark and threatening. The first is evidently the way of wisdom. Yet how many people there are who do the last, thus enduring a thousand times those disappointments and heartaches which it is bad enough to have borne once.

Listen to episode 798 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Let Go of Anger & Start Living a Happy Life. Edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I have known people to carry for years feelings of bitter hatred and a desire for revenge, a determination to "get even" with those who injured them, until their whole characters were so changed that they became almost inhuman. Hatred, revenge, and jealousy are poisons just as fatal to all that is noblest in us as arsenic is fatal to the physical life.

Listen to episode 797 of the Inspirational Living podcast: If You Want to Be Happy, Do These Things. Edited and adapted from The True Source of a Happy Life by Hugh Wayt.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In the course of our lives, there are many times when thoughtless words are spoken by us which wound the hearts of others. And there are also many little occasions when a word of cheer is needed from us and we are silent. There are lives of wearisome monotony which one word of kindness can relieve. There is suffering which words of sympathy can make more endurable. And often, even in the midst of wealth and luxury, there are those who listen and long in vain for some expression of kindness.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The power to be what you want to be, to get what you desire, to accomplish whatever you are striving for, abides within you. It rests with you only to bring it forth and put it to work. Of course you must know how to do that, but before you can learn how to use it, you must realize that you possess this power. So our first objective is to get acquainted with this power within.

Listen to episode 795 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Make the Most of Life. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What is nerve? Nerve is that which enables a person to hang on and either lose everything or win out. It is undertaking more than ordinary things. It is taking big risks on one's own ability. It is holding the fort against all-comers. It is doing the thing which the ordinary person thinks is impossible. It is setting your standard twice as high as your colleagues would set it for you, and then reaching it. It is burning your bridges behind you and staking your all on your own endeavor.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ideas, thoughts, like everything else, attract what is akin to them. The thoughts which dominate the mind will tend to drive out their opposites. Optimism will drive out pessimism. Cheerfulness will drive out despondency; hope, discouragement. Fill the mind with the sunshine of love, and all hatred and jealousy will flee. These black shadows cannot live in love's sunshine.

Listen to episode 793 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Break Bad Habits & Live a Larger Life. Edited and adapted from the book Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcasts: In order to find a way of escape from destructive habits and weaknesses of character, we must go deeper than actual deeds, for actions are effects of hidden causes. The cause of all action is thought. A thought is an action in the process of being born. It is true that we possess primitive desires and impulses, but these can be transmuted into noble actions and high achievement simply by directing our thoughts and attention to higher and better things.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The common idea is that success means great sacrifice, and that you must buy it with a price. In one sense this is true. To succeed you must choose. If you want this, you cannot have that. Success demands concentration, oneness of aim, and desire. Choose this day whom you will serve.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: "The Life Worthwhile" differs in the minds of individuals. The scientist in the laboratory, the painter in the studio, the preacher in the pulpit, the lawyer in the courtroom, the teacher in the classroom, the carpenter on the building site, all feel that they are living a life worthwhile. And indeed so long as there is deep interest, enthusiasm, and pleasure in the life we are living that life is worthwhile.

Listen to episode 790 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Road Map to Happiness. Edited and adapted from Working With God by Gardner Hunting.

Inspirational Podcasts: Let's use a little common sense. Isn't life a road that we should look upon exactly like any other road we have to travel? In the first place, all of us want to go places and do things, don't we?

All right, then, that means activity on our own part. If we don't want other people to get all our rewards, and have all our fun, we have to get off our butts. If we sit down idly, twiddle our thumbs and wait, some fruit may fall into our lap, but not much.

Listen to episode 789 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Keys to Realizing Your Ambitions. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Whatever your ambition may be, once you have started, stick to it, do not change until your object is achieved. If you choose wealth, continue to pursue it; if greatness, concentrate all your powers on winning it — affirm its accomplishment; visualize yourself having achieved the object of your endeavors. If you will do this, success will be yours.

To change about, however, is fatal. Success is largely a matter of concentration, but it is equally dependent upon staying power....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In proverbs, it says that “without vision, the people perish". This bit of ancient wisdom does not refer to good eyesight. It was the eyes of the mind that counted in the days of old, just as they do today. Without them, we have just so much power as a driven ox — and we are worth only a little more than they. But given vision (imagination) the ability to visualize conditions and things a month or a year ahead, there is no limit to our value or capabilities.
