Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 161 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
People have often asked me, “How do you get a ‘guiding light’ in the right portion?”
A guiding light is like a coach or a mentor. It’s an important mission, and of course, you will no doubt meet several of those people in the course of your life. It’s critical to you and your future to choose them wisely. A mentor, for instance, is someone to whom you commit a great deal of time and attention, and who, ideally, will take a very focused interest in you as well. That’s what he’ll do, and he or she will be able to help you overcome any challenge.
The process of finding your “guiding light”, it begins first of all with a clear-sighted view of what your life’s goals are and what you should be, both from a career and personal life; not just something that you take lightly but something that you think through. If you’re starting, for instance, as an associate in a job, you might want to choose the person who’s the most qualified in that business to become that “guiding light” for you. Selecting a mentor as a “guiding light” is not just a matter of finding someone you like or feel comfortable identifying with; make sure that this person knows how do you choose or that their genuine history shows success, that they’ve helped other people. It’s quite amazing how many people choose a mentor or a guide without looking at their past. (more…)

Do you walk around thinking that G-d is angry with you?
Or are you believing that you have done so many negative things that at this point there’s almost no hope?
After all, why shouldn’t He be angry with you or even abandon you?
You know you have done things that He doesn’t like. In fact, you don’t even think about Him many times.
So, why should He care about you?
Those are deluded dreams at the core of your consciousness. In every single person, there is a spark of G-dliness. It is awake and it is are waiting for you to react and understand. At no point in time are you alone and by yourself. G-d is never angry at you. From above, He pours an insurmountable and infinite amount of love. Love that never subsides nor changes, regardless of what you do, what you think, what you say, and how you act. It’s there. (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 159 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times, we are confronted with opportunities to engage in some mundane act. It does not necessarily mean that the Creator wants us to take that opportunity and run with it. Even if it appears that we mainly do so for some holy purpose. It could very well be that in the whole grand scheme of things, in this beautiful universe of ours, this opportunity may have presented us with something that we need to walk away from. This could be even harmful to us. We must therefore assess every new situation carefully.
Naturally we can be partial to a distorted conclusion. We have to be so careful about that. In order to remain unbiased, you have to detach yourself from the evaluation process and you have to be very careful on how you make that decision or what your next move is going to be for any of these opportunities.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 158 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Many people, including myself, have questions at times about life and what it brings and what it’s supposed to be. We often also ask the question, “If there is a Creator of the world, where is He? What does He do? How come I can’t see His face? And if so, why can’t He speak with me?”
The truth is, no one has seen, per se, G-d and lived, at least not that we know of. Because to see what is above and beyond is then no longer human; it is divine. There are things we see in life by looking directly at them and there are things we see with our eyes closed; we imagine them. We see them because we can feel them. There are things that we hold onto by grasping them and there are things that we hold onto by letting go. That’s just how things are in the world. It’s just a perception. (more…)

There’s a saying that says you have to distance yourself from a bad neighbor and you should not cling to a wicked person. On the surface, it appears that somehow, it’s redundant; stay away from bad people. In truth, however, there’s a much deeper lesson in these words. In fact, a close examination of these words yields an altogether different sentiment.
What is the difference between a “bad neighbor” and a “wicked person” and why must one go so far as to distance oneself from the former while concerning the latter? It is enough to avoid just clinging to him?
A bad neighbor means just that. It’s not a bad person, but one whose proximity to yourself is detrimental to you. It may be that, that person is a righteous person, a good person, a sweet person, a kind person, and that his path in life is, for him, most suitable and desirable, but it is, for you, totally different, and it is wrong and destructive. For you, that’s not what you need so you have to keep your distance. (more…)

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 574 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
You have to ask yourself at all times wherever you are in your life, if you are a positive influence? In other words, when you walk to a place, do you light up the place or do you actually make a difference? Being a positive influence is something that can affect the world at all times. It means that when you go somewhere, you become a lamplighter – you bring joy, goodness, and kindness, and support, and you actually brighten up the environment where you’re at. It’s not a talent, it’s not a gift, and it’s not an opportunity; it’s a desire to be the best that you can be. It’s something which is a need “in” every person but it’s something they have to cultivate. So you always have to ask yourself, am I a positive influence on the world and do I generate goodness and bring about more light, or do I actually take away the light? (more…)
