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 Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1920.

Podcast Excerpt: Life is a paradox. The true object of life is not the attainment of happiness, but if we attain the true object of life, we actually do find happiness. Those who are ignorant of life's true purpose and who seek happiness high and low, year after year, fail to find it. Like a will-o'-the-wisp, it forever eludes them. On the other hand, those who recognize the true object of life and follow it, attain happiness without seeking for it.

Listen to episode 935 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Mind Controls Your Destiny. Edited and adapted from How the Mind Works by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Your destiny is being created hourly by you. And that something that determines what you are to create at any particular period in time is the sum total of your ideals.

Your future is not preordained by some external power, nor is fate controlled by some strange and mysterious force that master minds can alone comprehend and apply. It is our ideals that control and determine our fate. And we all have ideals, whether we be aware of the fact or not.

Listen to episode 934 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Live a Better & Larger Life. Edited and adapted from Right Living by Susan H. Wixon.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: "Living will teach you how to live better than any preacher or book," says Goethe. But what is it to live? Is it simply to eat, drink, and be merry? Is it to learn a little, here and there; to laugh and play; to sleep, weep, toil, and battle from day to day, and from year to year for food and shelter?

Life is more than that. It has larger uses. It contains greater and grander results. It holds loftier and nobler aspirations....

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 Person Power by Keith J. Thomas, published in 1917.

Podcast Excerpt: The musical instrument which is out of tune can yet give from time to time a pure, sweet note. Likewise within the coarsest mind a noble sentiment responds every now and then to the majesty of some manifestation of Nature. There is, in every mind, an alcove which imprisons our ideals. We may bolt and bar it so that it is most difficult to penetrate, yet every once in a while some touch of memory or conscience releases the spring and gives a glimpse of the angel within us.

Listen to episode 933 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: The Character that Powers Success in Life. Edited and adapted from How to Get On in the World by Major A.R. Calhoun.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It has been said that "Nothing Succeeds Like Success." But what is Success? If we consult the dictionaries, they will give us the etymology of this much used word, and in general terms, the meaning will be (quote) "the accomplishment of a purpose." But as the goals in nearly every life differ, success cannot mean the same thing to all people. The artist's idea of success is very different from that of the business person, and the scientist differs from both, as does the politician from all three.

Listen to episode 932 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Choose Your Vocation in Life. Edited and adapted from Getting a Start: First Aids to Success by Nathaniel C. Fowler.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt:To feel the flush of success is to do what you most want to do, and what you can best do. Unless you can do well what you want to do, the fullness of result is impossible. Conversely, unless you want to do what you can do well, a small result is likely to follow.

While what you want to do appears to be subordinate to what you can do, so much do I believe in the assistance of co-operation and the value of desire, that I would place "want to do" ahead of "can do"....

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 Invincible Power by John Henry Remmers, published in 1922..

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Today I would like to talk about love. Jesus said to love thy neighbor as yourself. Many people find that a difficult thing to do. But have you ever, in all sincerity, tried it? If not, then for your own welfare and happiness do so. Begin by forgetting their faults, seeking their good qualities only, and wishing them well. It is not so easy in the beginning to do this, but be determined and through Faith give Love a trial and chance.

Listen to episode 931 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How Proportion Helps Create Happiness. Edited and adapted from The Pursuit of Happiness by George Hodges.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Proportion ministers to happiness because it preserves us from pessimism. Pessimism is an exaggeration of the evil of the world. It is the easiest of fallacies. Evil impresses the imagination deeper than good. It is commonly more dramatic, more interesting. That is why the first page of the morning paper is filled with the stories of yesterday's crimes and murders.

Listen to episode 930 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Go Beyond Ordinary Success | Motivation Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Getting a Start: First Aids to Success by Nathaniel C. Fowler.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: IF you are faithful, ordinary success is yours. If you do what you are told to do, or what you have to do, you can't become a failure.

But more than ordinary success, more than normal accomplishment, is due, not wholly to faithfulness, not entirely to your interest in your work, but to the fact that you do not only what you are told to do and have to do, but what you are not told to do and don't have to do.

Listen to episode 929 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Become Strong in Spirit and Life. Edited and adapted from Divine Adjustment by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1930.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is necessary for us to develop strength and individuality. We have to become so strong that no dominating ego can have any power or influence over us. We have to maintain our liberty, and be free, individualized beings.

If we do not maintain our freedom, we not only become weak people without individuality or character, but we also are liable to find ourselves dominated by some strong ego to such an extent that our life ceases to be our own.

Now, many of us may recognize the necessity of being strongly individualistic and capable of resisting suggestion, but how are we to develop such strength?

Listen to episode 928 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Creating a True Success Mindset. Edited and adapted from Dynamic Thought by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1921.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It is important to recognize that there are varying degrees of successful thinking. For instance, the lowest form of "success" thought is: "I can succeed." You may have thought all your life that you could not succeed. You may have thought that others succeeded because they were exceptionally talented or had better opportunities, or were blessed with "luck". But you being neither greatly talented, nor lucky, nor presented with opportunities, cannot succeed.

Then one day, let us imagine, you read an....

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 Out From the Heart by James Allen, published in 1904.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: As the Heart, So is the Life. The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed. That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last. Seed, tree, blossom, and fruit are the fourfold order of the universe. From the state of your heart proceeds the conditions of your life. Your thoughts blossom into deeds; and your deeds bear the fruitage of your character and destiny.

Listen to episode 927 of the Inspirational Living podcast: You Can Start Living a Larger Life. Edited and adapted from The Open Door by Hugh Black.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A new experience should open the way to a larger life. It should bring fresh insight, wider interest, and keener sympathy. Many people do not use their new experiences, but only enjoy them.

A great happiness will sometimes come to a person and they will rejoice in it, but yet they may not let it enlarge their life. Strangely enough, we sometimes find it only narrows the person. So a sorrow, which we would expect to soften and deepen them, will often only harden and embitter.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Character is human nature in its best form. It is moral order embodied in the individual. People of character are not only the conscience of society, but in every well-governed state, they are its best motive power — for it is moral qualities in the main which rule the world. Even in war, Napoleon said, the moral is to the physical as ten to one.

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 “What is Worth While?” by Anna Robertson Brown, published in 1893.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Remember that there is no new sorrow. We shall be called upon to bear nothing that has not been borne before. Does not this thought still the wild clamor of life? Shall we grumble at our lot when unnumbered hearts, as sensitive, as true, as loving as our own, have been breaking under the weight of the same sorrow that oppresses us today — have met this grief of ours, whatever it may be, and have conquered it?

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Up to the present moment, you have, perhaps, saved nothing. The rule of your life may have been a variation of "easy come, easy go." But it has not put you forward. You are no better off — have nothing in hand. You are, in fact, a little older and a little nearer the time when your efficiency may be less than it is today.

If you can succeed in seeing yourself in this light, you will begin to be a student of money. And the first thing you must do is to study (in order) the following subjects: ....

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: An old proverb says that "Good courage breaks ill luck.” In other words, mental power, rightly directed, is the only force that creates good luck. Hard work alone will not make you lucky. You must be ready to seize your good luck when it comes, and you must search for it until you find it.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The master-key to success, in every realm of human life, is Faith. Faith has inspired every truly great career that has blessed the World. Faith has made possible every great Institution that has enriched the life of humanity. Faith is the scarlet thread running through all the religions of the world, and revealing their essential unity. It is Faith that lifts humanity above the level of the brute, and makes us master over the physical world.

No judgment, no decision, no attitude toward life can be final....

We all believe that we look to Nature; but it is surprising how often we are mistaken. We all would profit much if we....
