    Let Your Life Be an Adventure

    Listen to episode 1168 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Achieving Better Health & Greater Success. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin. Podcast Excerpt: Our life follows the fortunes of our faith, and one brave push of trust will lead out into large and spacious ways. The cowardly proverbs are answered by the bolder sayings which tell us that if we never venture we can never win. They wave the flag of adventure in the eyes of youth, and at least suggest a better ideal than the world's stale wisdom of stodgy respectability and cautious prudence.  Adventure is the true scientific attitude towards life, for science only advances by experiment. It is true that there are risks, but just because a chemist may sometimes blow himself up by a novel chemical composition, this does not stop experiments in chemistry. An experiment in social life may also go wrong by a wrong mixture of ingredients, but if we could not learn from our mistakes we could not learn at all.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Achieving Better Health & Greater Success

    Listen to episode 1168 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Achieving Better Health & Greater Success. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin. Podcast Excerpt: THERE are two great obstacles along the path to health and success. They are fear and hate. Not only do they bar your path to success, not only do they break down your health, but they also destroy all happiness and peace of mind. They are the most negative of all negative qualities, and give rise to the most negative of thoughts and the most destructive emotions. They break down the fabric of the character, destroy the nervous system, and create disharmony and disturbance which effectually keep success, health, peace of mind, and happiness at a distance. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    The Greatest Gift from God

Language, either written or spoken, is but a symbol, and at best an imperfect vehicle to convey thought. The meaning of truth is deflected in its transmission. “Thought is deeper than speech; feeling deeper than thought; souls to souls can never teach what to themselves is taught.” Our mental and spiritual visions differ as the stars differ in magnitude. The same light does not shine with equal brilliancy on the pathway of each individual. What is light to one, may be a shadow to another. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    The Secret to Success in Anything

    Listen to episode 1166 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret to Success in Anything. Edited and adapted from Sowing & Reaping by Booker T. Washington. Podcast Excerpt: What I am about to tell you now is true of all the pursuits of life. We get out of every venture just what we put into it; no more, no less. To attain success we must put forth hard and honest labor. At the back of all success there is hard, persistent labor. There is no royal road — those who think there is always fail. No person ever reaped any success in life who did not sow wisely.  As each person takes up the serious business of life, they must do something — they must labor and wait. In order to reap something, something must be done. Value for value is the real standard of life's exchange of benefits. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    How to Make Progress in Life

    Welcome to Our Sunday Talks. Today’s talk was edited and adapted from Staying Out of Mental Ruts, published in 1883. Gain access to more episodes (ad-free) by becoming our patron for as little as $3 a month. By becoming a patron, you'll also gain access to our entire archive of Inspirational Living podcasts, plus full transcripts. Learn about the benefits our patrons receive by going to https://livinghour.org/patron. Thank you. Podcast Excerpt: Those of us who would like to make rapid progress in the direction of truth must keep out of the ruts. We occasionally need to revise our opinions — politically, socially, religiously, and otherwise, just as we need, from time to time, to reset our watches, or adjust the variation of our magnetic needles. We form our conclusions upon any given subject from the evidence before us at the time. However, we may not always be in possession of all the facts in the case. We may find that we have placed too much stress upon this point and not given that one sufficient importance. Hence, we are liable to err — even the wisest of us. And we notice that those who generally err the most, think they err the least. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Overcoming Our Disabilities | Uplifting Podcasts

    Listen to episode 1165 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Our Disabilities. Edited and adapted from The Book of Courage by William James Dawson. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Nothing in the long story of human endeavor is more wonderful than the complete conquest of physical disability made by great spirits. It seems probable that Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon — each a world-conqueror — were what we should now call epileptics. William of Orange was racked by asthma, and General Wolfe, the heroic conqueror of Quebec, was of a frail and ailing constitution. Beethoven was stone deaf. And Parkman, the most picturesque of American historians, could only read for an hour a day. In all such cases, the restless tenant of the body was visibly at work — visibly and mightily. Deafness, blindness, sickness — all these daunting deprivations have been overcome, treated as though they were not, under the command of a firm and dauntless spirit — a divine power of will.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    How to Grow Mentally & Spiritually Stronger

    Listen to episode 1164 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Wake Up & Live | Mindfulness Exercises. Edited and adapted from Wake Up & Live by Dorothea Brande. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: THERE are dozens of small ways by which we can make our minds both keener and more flexible – two qualities that are necessary for those who intend to live successfully. We all succumb too easily to the temptation to find a routine which allows us to get our day’s tasks done with a minimum of effort and conscious attention — a fact which might have no unfortunate effects at all if we used the time we save by our routines to a good purpose. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
