Listen to episode 979 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Building a Prosperity Mindset. Edited and adapted from a lecture that was delivered by Harriet Hale Rix, at the Hotel Brighton, Washington, D. C., in 1914.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I would like to make a statement here at the very beginning and have you plant this statement, this idea, in your heart as you would a seed: to grow. My statement is this: That the more difficult the situation is, the higher you will rise if you think correctly about it.

Let us make a familiar and close communication with the heart of the affairs, so that in the future (when we may need to be strong under great pressure or temptation) we may, through this correct thinking about it, be buoyed up and comforted.

Listen to episode 978 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Breaking from What Holds You Down. Adapted Stepping-Stones to Success by Horace D. Hitchcock.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is a fight, a worthwhile battle, but mainly with the elements in one's own self. An understanding of self (with all its moods, possibilities and powers), is the first step towards self-achievement. But more than this is the self-driving power which must be generated and put to use if maximum results are desired.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden, published in 1918.

Podcast Excerpt: Walt Whitman looked upon everything in nature as a message to humanity from the Infinite. He says: “To me converging objects of the universe perpetually flow; All are written to me, and I must get what the writing means. Did you ever think that every flower, every tree, every ray of sunshine, every beautiful landscape, is really a loving message, a letter from God to us, His children?

Listen to episode 976 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living Life No Regrets. Adapted from The Power of Purpose by William George Jordan.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let us be glad of the dignity of our privilege to make mistakes, glad of the wisdom that enables us to recognize them, glad of the power that permits us to turn their light as a glowing illumination along the pathway of our future. Mistakes are the growing pains of wisdom, the assessments we pay on our stock of experience, the raw material of error to be transformed into higher living.

Listen to episode 975 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Getting Your Day Started Right. Edited and adapted from Byways of Blessedness by James Allen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is full of beginnings. They are presented every day and every hour to every person. Most beginnings are small, and appear trivial and insignificant, but in reality they are the most important things in life.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from The College and the Higher Life by Elmer Hewitt Capen, published in 1905.

Podcast Excerpt: Let me add that the pathway of heavenly favor lies through sacrifice, especially sacrifice for the rising generation. We must never forget that "others have labored before us and we are entered into their labors." This is the way of the world. We can never partake fully, we can never even behold, nor can our minds conceive, all the fruits of our work. 

We enjoy without effort the results of the "agony and bloody sweat" of those who were faithful in their day and generation. And the only compensation we can make for it is to see that they who come after us shall receive a like token of our fidelity.

Listen to episode 974 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Power of the Generous Nature. Edited and adapted from Our Sunday Talks by James J. Owen.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: One source of almost unlimited trouble in this world is in not knowing when we are well off. Our happiness depends too much on what we suppose others may think of us, and too little on what we really think of ourselves. We carry the spirit of rivalry and emulation to an extreme. In our efforts to excel our neighbors, we often overdo it and make ourselves miserable.

Listen to episode 973 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Key to Happiness Every Day. Edited and adapted from Just Be Glad by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The real truth is that this world is nothing less than a limitless sea of happiness, the vastness and glory of which we are just beginning to know. And life itself is a song, while time is one eternal symphony. To be in tune with life, therefore, and to be in harmony with the endless music of time, we must of necessity be glad. But after we have learned to be glad, under every circumstance, it is no longer a necessity. It is a privilege, and has become a part of our active, living, thinking self.

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from the Creative Mind, by Ernest S. Holmes, published in 1923.

Podcast Excerpt: Be expectant. Expect the best to happen. Don't sit around waiting for trouble — have absolutely nothing to do with it. It is no part of the divine plan. It is an illusion of the material sense. One who has learned to trust will not be surprised even when they find things coming from the most unexpected sources.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Today, I would like to talk with you about success and the industrious spirit.

Listen to episode 971 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living a Magical Life. Adapted from the book Concentration: The Key to Constructive Thought by C. W. Kyle.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The supreme lesson of life is that of self-realization. You are living in a world of magic. You have more power within you than that of any wizard whom you have read or dreamed about. Wake up! Learn who you are before you condemn yourself to a further life of inaction and inefficiency. To come to recognize yourself is the best elixir of life you will ever know.
