Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 224 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I once read a note from a Commander of the U.S. Army, stating that a soldier is a unique man who takes privilege and advantage of what he does. A soldier takes pride in this. He said it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the right to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. (more…)

I had the beautiful and honored privilege to be raised in a family where all of us were close to each other. Especially us, the children, we were very close to my parents.
One day, my life changed. My father passed away, and when that happened I wasn’t quite sure what would happen to me. What would happen to my life? What would happen to my family?
I asked the question to my mother, “What is it going to be now?”
She answered, in an unwavering faith, “It will all be good. Definitely.” (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 220 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Today was a regular day for me. I woke up and did the things I was supposed to do, and on my way to work I received a phone call. A friend of mine passed away. So, today is not a regular day any more.
I lost a friend today. What happens when a friend passes away? Life moves on. The departed one goes on to a different life, a life of eternity and goodness, where things are different than on Earth. Now we don’t exactly know what they do, and where they go, and what’s going to happen, because no-one has been there and come back to tell us. We do know, however, that what we’re left with here is right here on Earth. (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 219 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Everything in this world affects everything else. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whether either by thoughts, speech, or action, you affect the world. Sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way. Words for instance, which may sound simple, innocuous, and often undefined, could mean something like a deadline. “Will you be finishing this on the deadline or before the deadline?”
The word “deadline” itself comes from the word “dead”. Dead which means an ending, a completion of life.
Instead of a “deadline”, why not use the word a due date? There’s a major difference there. A due date represents a delivery, a time of love, the birth of a child. So instead of saying, “Will you meet this project by the deadline?” Why not say, “Will you be able to have the project ready on the due date?” (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 218 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s an interesting concept about peeling an orange… Some people peel the orange using their fingers. Others use a knife, and others use both.
I’ll tell you a short story about my own father. When I was younger my father was sitting across the table from me and watched me peel an orange. Once I had finished, although I thought I had done nothing wrong, I picked up all the peels and threw them in the garbage.
My father, in his wisdom, just watched me and didn’t say any words. Then, he came to me and said, “Peeling an orange is systematic. It has to be done in an organized fashion and this is how life is.” (more…)
