Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 973 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s a story of a wise man who had children. Now, two of his sons were of different age, but the older son was short in stature and the younger son was taller. So, one was older and shorter, and the second one was younger but taller.
One day, the father saw them playing outside in the yard and the older brother dug a hole, a ditch, in the garden and put his brother there and this way, he could, by standing up, be taller than his younger brother. When the father saw this, he called out to the boy, the older brother, and he asked him, “Why did you dig the hole and put your brother in it?” He answered, “Well, my brother is younger than I, and yet he’s taller, so by me putting him in the hole, it gives me the opportunity to restore the equilibrium, and this way, since I am older, I am actually now taller.” His father looked at him and thought about this and said to his son in a kind way, that this was good but it was not the proper way to do it. The best way to do this next time, his father said, “If you ever find yourself in a situation, instead of putting your brother in a ditch, you should climb on a mountain.” (more…)

There is a story of a king who was quite benevolent and very kind to all of his constituents and he sent a notice to the whole country, and anyone who wished to come and visit him on a specific date, the gates of the palace will be open between six in the morning until six in the evening. Everyone was invited. There would be no red tape, no bureaucracy, no one would be refused entrance into the palace, and everyone could come.
Now, the king was a very wise man and so he set up the palace in such a unique fashion that you had to go through different floors to get there. On the first floor, there was a lavish exposition of all the best food that the palace could offer. On the second floor, there were drinks, aged wines and all types of liquor. On the third floor, all the jewelry and all the wealth of the extravagant type of jewels that the palace owned were displayed. On the fourth floor, all of the galleries of arts that had been accumulated by the palace were displayed in that floor. On the fifth floor, all the books and the manuscripts, those of young and old age were all displayed for anyone who wanted to put their time into it. On the sixth floor, the musicians of some of the best type of instruments were playing melodies that were above and beyond. (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 971 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s an interesting concept about who we are and how we find out about the type of person we are, what our character is, and really who our core essence is all about.
Now, it has been taught that people we encounter in our lives are our own mirrors. Isn’t that interesting? So, it means that if we see evil in them, in these people we encounter, we are really seeing a reflection of the evil or the negative within us. And, since we are generally blind to our own faults, the Creator of the world arranges it so that we notice them in someone else; and therefore, we’re expected at this point to take the cue and recognize that we possess the same faults so that we can correct them in ourselves.

You may ask the question, how long will I have to persist before I become successful? What will I need to do to reach my goals and see my achievements flourish? How long will it take?
You know, it’s interesting. I heard recently that Walt Disney, for instance, was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his concept of Disneyland. That just amazed me, if you think about it: today, it is one of the most proliferate and successful parks in the world and there are two locations in California and Florida. Yet, it took that many times, 302 times that he was turned down. If it was such a good idea, how come no one could see it? Why didn’t anybody come forth and say, “This is wonderful. We would like to invest.” To the contrary, he was turned down. (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 969 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Here is a subject which is close to my heart for many years and that is, how do we change our mind to see the positive?
There’s a theory behind it and it’s been proven, even scientifically. As a matter of fact, recent breakthroughs show that the brain functions in two areas. When it’s the left side of the brain, we think thoughts of peace and happiness, joy, contentment, even optimism. But when the right side is activated, then we have the opposite. We have the doom and gloom, and the worries, and even pessimism.
Now, each one of those can be activated at any given time and we have the power to control one versus the other. And, by the time we become adults, unfortunately, depending on the character and the life that we’ve lived, we automatically go towards one versus the other. It’s interesting, isn’t it? (more…)
