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.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Inspiring Thoughts on Your Immortal Life

    Listen to episode 1143 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Inspiring Thoughts on Your Immortal Life, edited & adapted from Theodore Parker's Unitarian sermon on immortality. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Immortality is what philosophers call an ontological fact; it belongs essentially to our being, just as the eye is a physiological fact and belongs to our body. To my mind this is the great proof of immortality: the fact that it is written in human nature; written there so plain that the no nation has failed to find it, to know it; written just as much as form is written on the circle. It comes to our consciousness as naturally as the notions of time and space. We feel it as a desire; we feel it as a fact.  To suppose that this universal desire has no corresponding gratification is to deny reality. I feel the longing after immortality, a desire essential to my nature, deep as the foundation of my being; I find the same desire in all people—though some may try to hide or dismiss it.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Advice to Young Artists

    Listen to episode 1142 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Advice to Young Artists. Edited and adapted from an Oscar Wilde lecture to art students. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Today, I do not desire to give you any abstract definition of beauty. For we who are working in art cannot accept any theory of beauty in exchange for beauty itself, and, rather than desiring to isolate it in a formula appealing to the intellect, we, on the contrary, seek to materialize it in a form that gives joy to the soul through the senses. We want to create art, not to define it. The definition should follow the work: the work should not adapt itself to the definition. Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: for you will be constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all, you must not strip it of vitality. You must find it in life and re-create it in art. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Living a Life Driven by Your Ideals

    Listen to episode 1141 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Living a Life Driven by Your Ideals. Edited and adapted from How to Fight the Battles of Life by Carl Hilty. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: True idealism is not the deceiving of oneself about reality, or the intentional ignoring of reality, or the hiding from reality, or the creating for oneself a world of unreality. Idealism, on the contrary, is reached by a deeper interpretation of the world, by victory over it, and especially by victory over oneself. For we, too, are an integral part of the world and we cannot conquer the whole unless, first of all, we conquer our own part of it, by strength of principles and force of habit.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    How to Realize Your Dreams | Uplifting Podcasts

    Listen to episode 1140 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Change Your Life Around. Adapted from a 1952 lecture by Neville Goddard. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The only work you are called upon to do is work on yourself. Start this work by observing your reactions to life. Remember, your future is not being developed; it already is. The time track is complete, as well as all of the events you can encounter.  As you move up or down the level of your being, changes will occur in your life. You are now resting at a certain level. "Arise, take up your couch and walk," by breaking the threads of life that bind you to the state you are now in. Break these threads by changing your thoughts, for only as you rise within, will you find a corresponding change without. ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

    Overcoming Worries & Anxious Thoughts

    Listen to episode 1139 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Worries & Anxious Thoughts. Edited and adapted from: Your Right to Be Happy by Frank & Marion Van Eps. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: About nothing be anxious." THESE words from the Apostle Paul are not in opposition to earnest and determined effort towards a lofty goal; rather they put us in the best frame of mind for effective action, that state which is most conducive to successful endeavors.  “About nothing be anxious” is a statement that is opposed to faintheartedness, whether it arises from the consciousness of our own limitations, from a distrust of ourselves, or from want of trust in the divine. It is fear that leads to anxiety; anxiety, to faint-heartedness; and faint-heartedness, to failure.  ---------------------                                  Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is always an action and reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking; manifested in all of the airs and phenomena of the Universe.
