Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness The Living Hour

Listen to episode 910 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Go Through Life With Perfect Poise. Edited and Adapted from Poise: How to Attain It by D. Starke.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Poise is a quality which enables us to judge of our own value, and which (in revealing to us the knowledge of the things of which we are really capable) gives us at the same time the desire to accomplish them.
It is not a singular quality. On the contrary, it is a composite of many qualities, all of which take part in the molding of that totality which bears the name of poise.
The principal qualities of which poise is composed are as follows:

Listen to episode 909 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Success is No Accident | Motivational Podcasts. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R. Calhoun.
Motivational Podcast Excerpt: Michelangelo was one day explaining to a visitor at his studio what he had been doing to a statue since a previous visit. "I have retouched this part—polished that—softened this feature—brought out that muscle— given some expression to this lip, and more energy to that limb." 
"But those are trifles," said the visitor. 
"It may be so," replied Michelangelo, "but recollect that trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle."

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from Power Through Repose by Annie Payson Call, published in 1900.
Podcast Excerpt: It is with life as it is with art. What we do must be done with love, or it will have no force. Without the living spark of love, we may have the appearance (but never the spirit) of useful work or quiet contentment. Stagnation is not peace, and there can be no life, and thus no living peace, without happy relations with those about us.

Listen to episode 908 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Taking Control of Your Mind & Body | Health Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Youth and Opportunity by Thomas Tapper.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Most people are very content with the world they live in. Even the poor are often happy because what they have and what they think are equal. But the moment a person realizes that being poor limits them in many ways, they are no longer happy. They want other things; they wish to live on a better street; to know people who are doing well. In other words, they want to be (quote) "better off," as the saying goes.....

Listen to episode 907 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Be the Master of Your Circumstances. Edited and adapted from The Freedom of Life by Annie Payson Call.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: IT is not the circumstances of life that trouble or weigh upon us. It is the way we take them. If a person is playing a difficult game of chess, the more intricate the moves, the more thoughtfully they look over their own and their opponent's pieces, and the more fully they are aroused to make the right move toward a checkmate.
If, when the game became difficult, the player stopped to be depressed and disheartened, their opponent would probably always checkmate them. However, in most cases, the more difficult the game, the more....

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from The Shining Gateway by James Allen, published in 1915.
Podcast Excerpt: Every dog can bark and fight, and every foolish person can rail and abuse with hard words, and give way to fits of bad temper. These things are easy and natural to us, and require no effort and no strength. But the wise person puts away all such follies, and trains themselves in self-control — trains themselves to act unerringly from fixed principles, and not from the fleeting impulses of an unstable nature.
