Power of Meditation

Power of Meditation

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 321 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

We all go through life experiencing various conditions which make it difficult at times to overcome, and sometimes even scary. We’re not sure of some of the things that are happening and we’re not sure of the future. Sometimes, even though it looks promising, it’s not what happens; so what do we do? Some advice which I think could be beneficial if you were to do it properly. It is called meditation.

The power of meditation can truly help you, and that doesn’t mean that you’re going to your room and get yourself into a strange position and start humming; that is not meditation. Meditation is the ability to close your eyes two, three times a day in a peaceful environment and recount of who you are and try to figure out where you are going. (more…)

Being Mad

Being Mad

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 320 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

At times, you hear people saying they are mad about a situation, circumstance, or something that has happened to them. For whatever reason, they are just mad. They have at this moment realized that what they wanted, did not get accomplished; or what they needed, did not get done.

Why be mad? What does madness bring to the world. What does the negativity of the madness generated, from this attitude, bring to you or the rest of the world? Absolutely nothing.

Being mad means that you are only downgrading yourself and losing the opportunity to become better. Now you can be bitter about your situation so you can improve; that is a good quality because then things will change. Things will become better. Things will become improved. You will then apply diligence onto whatever it is that didn’t get accomplished. You will electrify yourself; nurture your new passion and reinforce your belief to do the best that you can. (more…)

Beneficial Meeting

Beneficial Meeting

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 319 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

When we have meetings with people the question is, “Is the meeting beneficial or not?” If it is the next question would be, “Is it beneficial to both parties or just one?” For a meeting to be beneficial it has to be able to be beneficial to both. Both parties, as they meet, have to walk away with something. Something which is greater than they had before the meeting.

The approach of a meeting should be with respect and affection. The reason for that is because you have to judge every single person favorably, irrespective of what you find out about them. It is necessary to bear in mind that the person that you’re meeting with could be making a self-commitment in their lives or perhaps may not even be responsible. (more…)

Share Everything

Share Everything

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 318 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

As a parent and, while we are helping our children grow up, we often remind them of how careful they have to be while they play with other children or the habits that we want them to develop. One of them is the ability to be compassionate and sharing. “Share everything you have”, we tell them. “Share your toys, share your bed, and share maybe even your lunch.” We tell this to our children as they are growing up. We want them to be kind, compassionate, and giving.

Sharing is an important component of our lives. As we grow to become adults and many people forget the importance of sharing. They believe that “this” is theirs, that they have earned the right to have it. Or they’ve earned, for whatever reason, the opportunity to use it. It becomes to them a fact. This is my car. These are my clothes. This is my office. This is my money and everything becomes then, just ‘mine’. (more…)

Proud of What?

Proud of What?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 317 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I’m sure that you have met people who are very proud of who they are. Sometimes this pride hinges upon not just “extreme” pride but almost arrogance. What is the point of that? Why be that way?

To be proud is a good thing. It’s showing that you care and that you are confident in what you’re doing.

To be that arrogant, however, has no purpose to it and there’s no benefit to anyone. A person must strive and toil strenuously with patience and friendliness and you can prevail in all things. With a denigrative attitude towards others and inflating your own importance, you lose everything. There’s nothing left for you. (more…)

Awesome Responsibility

Awesome Responsibility

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 316 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

How serious is life? How serious should you act toward life?

You have to see yourself as though the entire world is held in your balance at any given time, and any one deed that you do could tip the scales for you and the entire world, either for the good or the opposite. When faced with an opportunity to do something that could benefit the world – or the opposite – Knowing that everything in the world is either pulling or pushing you in some direction is an awesome responsibility. It’s awesome because it is given to you and no-one else.

You may say, “Why just me? There are many people in this world, and why should I be responsible?” Each and every creation in this world has a purpose. Not just to be there, but a purpose to accomplish its fullest potential. If it doesn’t, then it’s wasted time and it may not have the opportunity to do it again. (more…)

Ripple Effect

Ripple Effect

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 766 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

In life, we often don’t realize what our actions can do. It is interesting that every single action that we take affects the whole world.

Have you ever heard the concept about the butterfly that flaps its wings and the sound that it creates by flapping its own little wings can create a tsunami – literally – on the other side of the world. It sends waves all the way to the other side of the world. We don’t always know the power of our actions, and we don’t always realize that our choices can create a ripple effect, and that those ripple effects can be, literally, to no end.

Often, we may not even discover the full impact of our actions. Only sometimes we are lucky to see that behind the curtain of life, how all the strings of life are being pulled and directed. We see what we’ve done, and we see the effects that it had on other things, places, and people. (more…)

Absolute Trust

Absolute Trust

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 314 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There is a place in your life where you reach a certain level of peace and serenity. This place, when you reach it will become the ultimate and most absolutely delightful moment in your life. This is the moment when you live with absolute trust. Absolute trust is to know for a fact that what you’ve done, and what you are doing, is good. Not just for you but for the world around you and the whole universe.

Absolute trust means that you have confidence in your actions, and the confidence of all the things that you’ve accomplished, both on your thoughts, speech, and actions. That they’re all connected, but they’re doing the right thing. That they’re going in the right direction. At that moment, you have the absolute trust that everything will be well. (more…)

I Told You So

I Told You So

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 313 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “I told you so.” It’s been told to us throughout the years we were growing up, by our parents or perhaps by a friend who cared enough to tell us what they thought. It may have been told to us by someone such as a grandparent, an uncle, or even a sibling. Sometimes it’s told to us by a colleague, or someone we meet who becomes a mentor to us.

“I told you so” – the four most important words that can make a difference in your life. Yet we take these words for granted and hardly ever listen to them.

I remember when my parents, specifically my father, would say to me that his father had told him so many things that he had to do and things that he should be aware of. “Two words to remember”, he would say, “One is behold and the other one is beware.” (more…)

Moving Forward

Moving Forward

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 309 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are times when we have disagreements, disputes, or even arguments with people who we love, and people with whom we should be close to. It may be a spouse, a sibling, a friend, a family member, a colleague, a neighbor, or an acquaintance – Anyone.

We get into these arguments sometimes based on things which we believe should be argued about, or concepts, or a philosophy, or even something we feel strongly about. But I ask you, after all said and done, was it really worth it? Probably not; we are the wreckage. (more…)

Superior or Not

Superior or Not

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 308 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Isn’t it interesting that sometimes we meet people who feel they are superior than others? It’s hard to understand the reason, but there are many people who do. There is no need to be superior, or feel superior than another.

One must be extremely humble in relation to every person. Now what that means is that you have to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else.

You might ask the question, “Why is that? Why should I consider myself less? Why not better, especially if I believe I am? Or at least equal?” (more…)

Source of Light

Source of Light

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 307 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever thought about the source of light? Where does light come from?

It is said that only in the space of the universe, the heavens and on the earth where the body of thesun’s glow is not present. All that is seen is but an illumination that emanates from it. What that means is that the rays themselves which can be seen or felt but the light and radiance that appears to the eyes of all the beholders, has actual existence as we know it and here the term existence can really be truly applied to it.

The sun’s light and the rays, as they appear outside the sun glow, can be said to exist as much as we can see them. But in its source, in the body of the sun, the sun itself. What is the source of that light? Where did it come from? How did it appear? (more…)

Subordinate Your Heart

Subordinate Your Heart

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 306 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever thought of the fact that there are billions of people in this world, and yet you cannot find two people who are alike? Not even twins. They may have character traits, maybe views of the world, or even physical appearance that may be similar, but not exactly the same. This means that the world is unique and so is every single person in this world.

Now there is a fundamental principle in philosophy, and that is that the mind itself, by its innate nature, meaning from birth, rules over the heart. It must be subservient to the heart for the purpose of the world. It does so by utilizing the intellect as well as the comprehension, and the profound contemplation of the greatness of our mission in this world. (more…)

A Little More

A Little More

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 304 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are times when lessons come to your world and you wonder, “What was the purpose of that?” The answer is simple, for you to work towards yourself and towards the service of the Creator of the world and everything that you do to make it better. It’s a lesson.

The philosophy of goodness, kindness, and greatness emphasize all of these points. It’s very basic if you think about it. By definition, we are asked and demanded to live a life that requires and gives little more than we have. A little more effort and little more in the duty of mind of things that what we do. A little more dedication, a little more in depth, a little more enthusiasm, and enthusiasm itself provides for a breakthrough in overcoming any limitation. (more…)

Gifts of Life

Gifts of Life

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 303 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

When we think about our life, often we think of good things, and things that make up the person that we are. A lifetime, spans a certain amount of number of changing stages. There’s childhood, boyhood, youth, and young adulthood, and even advance in years. These years can make a difference. They not only make a difference in who we are and who we become, but also in the places that we go to.

People also vary in their gifts. These are called gifts of life, whether they’re common or mediocre in the way that we look at them or even luminous. This is the same thing with people’s nature; a person can be bashful, joyful, or even exuberant but, apart from all these variables in every one in the course of a lifetime Divine Providence engineers particular periods which sometimes change a man’s very nature. (more…)

I Met Another Man

I Met Another Man

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 302 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I met a man once who was blind. Basically, he couldn’t see what we can see. But he could certainly feel. He could feel and understand it, so much better than most human beings who have the vision. He was sightless. He couldn’t see the things in the way that we saw them, but he saw them in a different way. His blindness did not stop him from becoming an incredible person.

He once asked me to describe to him a color, and he said, “Describe what you see in front of you in the tree.”

As much as I tried, I couldn’t describe the color green. Because I had no idea of what it would be like if it wasn’t green. (more…)

Keep Our World Clean

Keep Our World Clean

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 301 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There’s an interesting story about a man who was clearing the stones and rocks from his field. They were disturbing the growth of his produce, so rather than disposing of them in a suitable area he just did what was easiest for him at the time. He just threw them onto the path in front of his property.

Passing by one day, as the landowner was at the time clearing his fields, and another older man came by and said, “What are you doing? Why are you throwing stones from a place that isn’t yours into a place that is yours?”

Well, the landowner stopped his work for a moment and he looked at who was speaking to him. He then realized that the old man must be a fool. He laughed at him and he said, “What are you saying? The opposite is true. You see, I’m throwing stones from my land on to public property.” (more…)

Doubting Myself

Doubting Myself

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 300 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are many people who unfortunately live with doubt. This doubt is clustering their mind, taking them by surprise every single day and holding them hostage, not being able to move forward or think positively.

They’re doubting what they can do, they’re doubting where they can go, what they can see, what they can accomplish. This doubt brings them not only into captivity, but it keeps them from moving forward. Now what are they doubting, if you think about it?

They’re doubting not only the abilities of their own capabilities but they’re also doubting the Creator of the world that says, “You can’t do anything. And if you try, you might not succeed.” Why think that way? Why even believe that you can’t accomplish so much and do greater things? (more…)

The Need To Know

The Need To Know

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 299 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There is an interesting concept about human beings, we want to know everything. We want to understand everything and we don’t want to have any questions in our life.

The question which we can ask, “Why does the Creator of the world do a certain thing one way, and another thing another way?”

How can we know that? How can we answer this question? You see, the whole question has absolutely and fundamentally no basis. (more…)

Overcome Temptation

Overcome Temptation

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 297 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

How often are we faced with the issues that tempt us to do things which are not proper? There is a lesson in every one of us. Part of our divine mission involves being exposed to temptation – that is the way the world was created. That is the reason why we were created, to be tempted, to prevail, and to help raise all men and women to a higher level.

It is understood, that we are speaking of tests and temptations which the Creator placed right before us. It is a fundamental belief that man has the capacity to remain steadfast in the face of all difficulties and tests. Any one of them have been imposed to us by Divine Providence. (more…)
