Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 889 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Just a little while ago, I got off the phone with a relative who has aged. This person has reached her late 80s, close to 90s. It is interesting that speaking with this woman, I found out that she is lonely. That’s probably one of the hardest thing to live with. When you age, you become lonely. With loneliness comes fear and of course, this compounded with sometimes, medical issues, conditions, or diagnoses that seem to be dangerous, at that age, even the slightest movement outside by just the wind, can cause that person to be scared. So if you know aging people, it could be parents, relatives, or friends, show them support, show them that you care. read more…

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 888 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s a concept called the “positive principle”.
It was actually designed and developed by a foundation. This foundation found out that when a person focuses on positive, then positive developments occur. While a person looks at negativity and continuously shine their light on the negative aspect, then only negative things happen.
In other words, the more we recognize and reaffirm the things that we have that are working for us–our strengths, our successes, our potentials and the things we can develop, it gives us a better health, it gives us great feelings, it gives us a vitality, and we feel happier every single moment.
Quite interesting, isn’t it?

Sometime ago, an famous violinist called Joshua Bell played in a subway station in Washington, DC. Now, he was playing his violin for about an hour. The night before, interestingly enough, he played in front of 50,000 people. They all acclaimed him as one of the world’s most famous violinists.
Interestingly enough, however, the next day, he decided to play in the subway and no one knew who he was, and hardly anyone even bothered to stop listening to him. It’s amazing.
In 45 minutes or so that he was playing, only about six people stopped. About 20 people, the story says, gave him a little money. He collected a total of $32 even though and unbeknownst to the people who were walking by, his violin was worth $3.5 million.

I recently read a story about a man whose name was Alvarenga. He was a 37-year old fisherman and working in Mexico. On November 18, 2012, he decided that he was going to go out to the sea and go fishing. What he did not know is that there was a storm coming which would change his life forever, and not only that, his friend who went with him would never come back. Throughout the tumultuous waves and tremendous hardship that he went through, this trip lasted 438 days. It wasn’t until January 30th, 2014 that he finally came home.

A writer once said “You have to learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”
Quite amazing, isn’t it?
Very interesting, indeed.
“But to have more, however, than you have got at this point, you have got to become more than who you are”.
So what does that mean and where does that lead us?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 884 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever heard the expression, “you must be happy with what you have while in pursuit of what you want”?
This is so important to realize and understand at all times.
What really matters to you, what you really feel should make you happy, and what kind of life you want to live. It’s so important to know where you are. Sometimes, some of us have certain things that we live for or certain things that make us happy. To some people, it may be having more money. To others, might be buying a big home. To others, maybe a stable job or a great relationship, whatever the case may. It’s interesting that if you research into happy people and you look at them closely, you will see that a key component of happiness is the ability to identify your true needs and then make it a priority to pursue it, whatever they are; it could be one need or multiple needs. That’s the true to happiness. It is to lead a life that expresses our own values. read more…

There’s a woman by the name of Sarah Murray Jordan. She was a doctor, a gastroenterologist, and one of the four founders of one of the most famous clinic in Boston, Massachusetts. She not only had a medical degree, she also had a Ph.D.
What is interesting is that in those days, in the 1880s when she was born, it was not particularly accepted, that a woman would become a doctor. Not only was it not accepted, it was actually, to a certain extent, refuted by all other physicians who were themselves males.
Now, this is interesting because she was facing a situation and could have accepted it and resigned by not becoming a physician or, not accepted it and done something about, it which is what she did.

It’s quite amazing how many people you meet at times who tell you “it’s over; it’s done; it’s the end of that chapter; I am finished; it’s the end of my book.”
What does that all mean? That they’re going to die? That there is no other solution? Why get all worked up? What’s the point?
It’s not the end of the story. The end of the story is when you actually pass away. Now, that is the end. And it doesn’t mean it’s the end of your story because if you watch what you do and you do it properly, you will create a legacy and the legacy will stay on, so it won’t even really be the end of the story; it’ll just be the end of your chapter in that book. Why not find yourself a way to remind yourself that it’s just a short chapter? The end is not here yet. When the end comes, you won’t be there anymore to talk about it. Now, wait until the end and you’ll see. read more…

There is a story about a writer by the name of Flannery O’Connor. She battled lupus, a terrible disease, but wrote about her life, and then she died unfortunately, at the young age of 39 years old. Now, at one point in time she was asked, “Why is it that you are writing in spite of your illness?” And she said, “Because I’m good at it.”
You know, it’s interesting. If you think about that, she battled her sickness but what she was good at, she used as an incentive to become better. It was an enticement for her to make things better.
When you use your own talent, you feel like you are invincible; you could do anything you want. Don’t take your talents for granted. Take them and use them for the best of your abilities. Not only should you not envy others but, you should envy yourself for what you’ve got. read more…
Biochemistry

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 880 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Some people believe that the reason why they are unhappy is because of their biochemistry. That may be true; I’m not going to discuss the medical implications of the medications or hormonal imbalances, or the chemical dependency that some people taking. That’s not what this is all about. What I am going to discuss, however, is that although these biomechanical imbalances may be real, you have to ask yourself, what can you do to try to overcome some of these unhappy times? What should you do?
Now, whether or not it’s a behavior that you have to learn or the innate biochemistry you have within you, you need to try your best to always have control of your thoughts. It’s interesting: there were two university professors in Pittsburgh. They were psychologists, and in their experiments, they counted the ratio of good and bad thoughts in depressed people versus happy people. Quite interesting what they found. They discovered that depressed people have one bad thought for every one good thought, while non-depressed people, have two good thoughts for every negative one. Quite amazing. read more…
