The Majesty of Calmness | Inspirational Podcasts

4/28/2026
Listen to episode 1116 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Majesty of Calmness. Adapted from The Majesty of Calmness by William George Jordan. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the signpost of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of the life self-reliant and the self- controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power — ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis. No person lives their life more fully, more intensely and more consciously than the one who is calm. Fatalists are not calm, but coward slaves of their environment, hopelessly surrendering to their present condition, recklessly indifferent to the future. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Intelligent Union of Body & Mind

4/22/2026
Listen to episode 1115 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Intelligent Union of Body and Mind. Edited & adapted from the book How to Get What You Want by Dr. Orison Marden. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Modern science has proved that intelligence is not confined to the brain cells, but that we think as a whole, that all cell life takes part in the thinking process. Scientists tell us that the individual cells in a piece of flesh and placed near a drug that is harmful to cell life will draw away as far as they can from this harmful substance. On the other hand, when a substance friendly to cell life is placed near, the cells will draw as close as possible to this friendly substance and apparently try to absorb it. In other words, these cells manifest the power of intelligent selection, or choice. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Your Politeness Uplifts Others

4/20/2026
Listen to episode 1114 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Hints on Common Politeness. Edited & adapted from a book by the same title by D.C. Colesworthy. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We have fallen on singular times. Who has any true regard for the rights of their neighbor? Where can a really polite person be found? If we do not actually spit in the faces of our friends, we are, every day of our lives, guilty of numberless thoughtless and uncivil acts that greatly displease and annoy them. Your own pleasure, convenience, and interest should not be taken into consideration when they conflict with the duties you owe your neighbors and society at large. It is a glorious privilege to sacrifice our own selfish interests, if thereby we can promote the well-being of others, and scatter widely and profusely the blessings of life. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Those who have never sorrowed cannot experience the full delights of happiness. A life of continuous pleasure would be hideously monotonous. We would not appreciate our friends, if we did not find them sympathetic and helpful when our dark days came. The very essence of love and friendship is the sharing of sorrows as well as joys. We would never realize the worth of money or the value of success if money and success were easy to come by. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Overcoming Despite Our Handicaps | Motivational Podcasts

4/16/2026
Listen to episode 1113 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Despite Our Handicaps. Adapted from the book “A Cheerful Philosophy for Thoughtful Invalids” by William Horatio Clarke. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember that our journey through life is much like that of a journey across the Atlantic. While we are on the ship, we place our lives in the care of the captain, in the expectation of arriving safely on the other side. We have absolute confidence that our captain understand the nature of the winds, the various currents, and the tides, the shoals and rocks, and how to pilot the vessel through the most violent storms. We have faith that he knows the strength of the ship, the reliability of the machinery, and that the rudder will obey the wheel. We have no doubt of his caution in running through banks of fog, or in steering clear of icebergs, nor of his skill in avoiding collisions. When darkness settles down over the face of the deep mysterious waters, we retire ourselves to our cabins, and sleep without fear. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Seeing Life as an Artist

4/14/2026
Listen to episode 1112 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Seeing Life as an Artist. Adapted from Practical Ethics by William De Witt Hyde. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Art is creative. The artist is a co-worker with the Divine. To our hands is committed the portion of the world which the universe has left unfinished — the immediate environment of humankind. We cannot live in the fields and woods like the insects and animals do. Art has for its purpose to make the rooms and houses and halls and streets and cities in which civilized people pass their days as beautiful and fair, as elevating and inspiring, as the fields and forests in which nature blooms. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: During the early 1900s, Benjamin Mills founded an organization called “Fellowship,” which had no creed save "Trust and Service." What is your idea of trust and service? How would you answer the question contained in the motto? My own idea of trust is as unbounded as the word indicates: whatever happens, to believe it is part of the divine plan. However unpleasant, however painful, however disagreeable may be the happening or circumstance, to determine upon finding its good meaning, and to turn it to the soul's account, and make it a means of character building. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

How to Succeed in Your Business Startup

4/9/2026
Listen to episode 1111 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Succeed in Your Business Startup. Edited and adapted from The Mental Highway by Thomas Parker Boyd. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It does not matter whether you are selling the products of your own hands and imagination, or those of others, or whether you are selling knowledge and expertise, your business must eventually be an expression of you — for you are really selling yourself when you are selling your goods or service. You must believe in your business as you believe in yourself. Your success in business depends upon your knowledge of the people who are helping you to sell, as well as the people who come to buy. If you have to guess how each person will act under a given condition, success may be an uncertain thing. If you know to what category a person belongs, and know that in a majority of cases that category of people will be interested in a certain class of values, and will be appealed to by a given method of presentation, and will decide and act in a certain way, then you are effectively using psychology in your business. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

How to Please & Fascinate Others | Timeless Etiquette

4/7/2026
Listen to episode 1110 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Please & Fascinate Others. Edited and adapted from The Man Who Pleases and The Woman Who Fascinates by John Albert Cone. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The woman and man who pleases and fascinates is never mean or small in their disputes, never insinuate evil which they dare not say out loud. They have too much good sense to be affronted by insults, and are too busy with enjoying life to remember injuries. They may be right or wrong in their opinions, but they are too clear-headed to be unjust. They see the truth in Samuel Johnson’s dictum that the habit of looking on the bright side of things is worth far more than a thousand pounds a year. More than half the unhappiness in the world comes from a person’s unwillingness to look on the bright side. We all like the optimist. The bright cheerful, good-natured person, who always looks through the cloud and sees its silver lining, is as good as a tonic to our most pessimistic dispositions. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

For example, Walt Whitman says: “Why should I wish to see a God better than this day? I see something of God every hour of the twenty-four. In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass.” Wherever we are, and whatever our work, no matter how crowded or how shut in we may be, we may find God there. The very atmosphere of whatever place you are in becomes surcharged with life when you are conscious of the presence of God. It all depends on what your soul is seeking. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Art of Listening & Remembering

4/2/2026
Listen to episode 1109 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Listening & Remembering. Adapted from “Memory: How to Develop, Train, and Use It” by William Walker Atkinson. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Before the memory can be stored with sight impressions — before the mind can recollect or remember such impressions — the eye must be used under the direction of our attention. We think that we see things when we look at them, but in reality we see but few things, in the sense of registering clear and distinct impressions of them upon the tablets of our conscious mind. We look at them rather than see them. In other words, we see without truly seeing. The way to train the mind to receive clear sight-impressions, and therefore to retain them in the memory is simply to concentrate the will and attention upon objects of sight, endeavoring to see them plainly and distinctly, and then to practice recalling the details of the object some time afterward. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Overcoming Your Anxiety & Regrets

3/31/2026
Listen to episode 1108 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Your Anxiety & Regrets. Edited and adapted from Nuggets of New Thought by William Walker Atkinson. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Every bit of pain that has happened to you has brought its experience to you — you are better, wiser and broader for it. Look at it in that way, and you will cease to mourn and wail and wring your hands over the fact that in the past you (quote) "have done those things which you ought not to have done, and have left undone those things which you ought to have done." Nonsense! You have gained the experience and know better now. If you were placed back in the same old position, and lacked the experience that you have gained by just such things, you would do the same old thing over again, and in the same old way. You couldn't help it, because you would be the same old person. What you would like to do would be to be placed back in the same position, and face the same old temptation or problem, taking with you the experience you have gained by your former mistake. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

But we think of the river, and say, "If God will open the way through it, then I shall pass over." Then we sit down in our hampered environment to wait for God to take the obstacle away. But he will never do it while we wait. We must rise up in the strength of our faith, and say, "The voice of God is calling me, and the hand of God will make the way for me through these seemingly impassable barriers to the lofty heights beyond." --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

I speak from the standpoint of admiration of those who make a practical success of their lives: who address themselves to definite objects; and who, striving unceasingly, finally accomplish them. I mean those who make success, not those who fall into it or who trick it away from other people, but who conceive a worthy plan and are ably carry it to a successful completion. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

The Nature of Friendship & Spiritual Life

Listen to episode 1106 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Nature of Friendship & the Spiritual Life. Adapted from the book Friendship by Hugh Black. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is bigger than any relationship, and covers more ground. The circles of life may intersect, and part of each be common to the other, but there will be an area on both sides exclusive to each. And even if it were possible for the circles to be concentric, it could hardly be that the circumference of the two could be the same. One would be, almost without a doubt, of larger radius than the other. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

We are not done with anything in life as it passes from our hands. Nothing is indifferent. There is a moral character in all that we do. Either we are blessing the world, or sowing the seed of a curse on those around us. It becomes us, therefore, to give conscientious thought to our entire life. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 1105 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Need for Education Reform. Adapted from the essay “What’s the Matter with Education?” by William George Jordan. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Sometime in the years of the future, we shall look back on the education system of the 20th and early 21st century with the same feeling of revulsion as we now regard the superstitions of the Middle Ages. These are hard words, but they are calmly and deliberately chosen. Such words would be insanely foolish and wantonly unjust if not substantiated by proof. They would be incendiary, useless and dangerously unsettling were no better way provided. But there is a better way, there is a new model. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Love is the Great Educator | Inspirational Podcasts

Listen to episode 1104 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Love is the Great Educator. Adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Love is the great educator, the great unfolder of youth. As the sun is the only thing that will bring out the exquisite beauty of fruits and flowers, so love is the only thing that will develop the sweetness and the beauty of the child. It is the only power that will call out the true, the beautiful side of its nature. It is only the hard, coarse, and unlovely qualities of the child that are developed by force and repression. How often would a little kindness and forbearance on the part of a parent or guardian, a little better knowledge of a child’s nature, do wonders for a so-called "bad child" who is considered "incorrigible" or “hyperactive,” a fit subject for psychiatric drugs. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
