Listen to episode 893 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Start Living the Inspiring Life Meant for You. Edited and adapted from A New Philosophy of Life by John Herman Randall.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It’s been said that character is practically fixed for most people when they reach the age of 25. I suspect this is true — for how many of us rigorously and systematically take ourselves in hand every day, and work on overcoming our imperfections, our weaknesses? Instead, we often excuse and attempt to justify ourselves, saying things like, "I can’t help it. It’s my temperament," or "My parents are the same way," or, "I am what I am." And, then, we go on spending our time in search of wealth or happiness, discharging more or less faithfully the duties of daily life, while spending little effort each day on eradicating our weaknesses and bettering ourselves.--------Our Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code living50 for a great deal: www.factor75.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listen to a sample episode Our Sunday Talks, edited and adapted from Culture and Reform by Anna Robertson Brown, published in 1896.Podcast Excerpt: In this world of ours, there is often talk about reform. There are lots of things in need of reform: the government, education, the media, pretty much all of our institutions. But such talk of reform always leads us back to the individual. That is why I say, to carry it through, reform must be adequate to deal with the mysteries and powers of life — for out of the mystery were we born, and into the mystery do we return. And everything in between is a mystery, as well!---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 892 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Avoid Certain Failure | Success Podcasts. Edited and adapted from Fundamentals of Success by Hiram Abiff Boaz.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: No normal person wants to fail. Failure takes the sparkle from the eye, the color from the cheek, the edge from the intellect, and the nerve from the arm. The sense of failure depresses and dejects. It takes the sunshine out of life and brings the shadow. It takes joy from the heart, and spreads sorrow and gloom. To fail utterly robs life of all satisfaction and contentment, and fills it with misery and disappointment. And yet many do fail...---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 889 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Succeed in the Battle of Life. Edited and adapted from A Book of Friendly Thoughts by Nixon Waterman.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Half-way, half-hearted doings never amount to much. Battles are not won with flags at half-mast — they are run up to the very top and waved as far toward the heavens as possible.If we lack enthusiasm, we are almost as certain to fail of achieving an end. A listless, lackadaisical spirit may get on all right, so long as the path of life is all on a level or down grade, but when it comes to hill-climbing, and the real experiences of life that develop character, we are likely to give up the contest and surrender the prize.---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

Listen to episode 888 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Self-Knowledge to a Higher Plane of Living. Edited and adapted from As Ithers (Others) See Us by John Thomas Huddle.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: As a general rule, we are as ignorant of our power as a horse tied to a post is of its strength. Under the influence of passion or fear, the horse snaps the rein like a thread. In its newly- awakened strength it breaks the trappings of man as easily as Samson did the cords of the Philistines. So it is with us. Stirred by some great emergency, stimulated by some powerful emotion, we can perform feats of strength and daring that in sober moments seem almost impossible.  ---------------------Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
