Individual Experience

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 296 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Are there times when you feel that other people are trying to impress their own feelings upon you, or their concepts, ideas, philosophies, religion, or anything else that they believe in?

There is an absolute universal standard of morality and ethics that binds all of humanity. This is the truth, this is the way it has to be. This was given by the Creator of the world Himself. It was in such a way that each and every member of society has to be careful of what they do. There are measurements as to what is right and what is not.

The paths of truth, which are endless, are not the same as the 88 keys that we find on the piano. On a piano, each key represents a note, and they lend themselves to endless musical combinations. For instance, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Bach – all these amazing creators of music – didn’t need to create new keys in order to display their creative genius and musical brilliance. They just took those same keys and a combination of their own individual association of notes and made a new song, new music. (more…)

Excitement

Excitement

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 295 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Where does excitement come from? What is its origin and where does it stop? If you understand your purpose, then excitement begins within yourself. The excitement of knowing that you have a mission in this world.

This is what you have been sent down on Earth to develop: to develop all kinds of concepts in life. Development in nature, processes, spirituality, physicality, and everything that’s around you. Make it grow and make it better. Not only better than it is, but better than you found it when you first got here.

The electrifying concept of what you have to do to replenish this enthusiasm for the daily part of your purpose and your tasks, every day, is “excitement”. That’s the exciting part about life. That you can create your own excitement from what you do and what you have by valuing the process of time. (more…)

I Miss You

I Miss You

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 294 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are times in life when we miss someone or some place. Something that we wish we had again one more time in our lives. It can seem at times that when we had this one person or this one place where we were, we didn’t really appreciate it. That’s the way any one of us feels and you can say it, “I miss you” or, “I miss is.”

I, at times, miss some of the members of my family who are no longer alive. I miss them because of what they brought to my life the passion, capabilities; and making me see dreams which I had not ever anticipated could happen. Giving me the strength to go from day to day and giving me the enthusiasm that I needed at times when things were difficult. (more…)

Disorganized

Disorganized

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 293 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I spoke to someone yesterday who felt frustrated because he was disorganized. This person told me how upset he was, he couldn’t remember where he put things when he came home, or the last details of the things he had to do, the tasks, errands, or even an important concept he had to implement in their life.

It’s simple, disorganization is not to be shunned or to be ignored – it is to be mastered. In order for you to understand disorganization you first have to accept that you are disorganized. Just admit it and say, “Okay, I am a disorganized person. Now where should I start?” I’ll give you some insights as to where you can start in a simplistic way.

First and foremost, note that every time you come home, whether it’s the keys to your car or the item that you carry your valuables with, make sure that you put it in one specific place. Keep this as a habit. Make that a determining factor of a discipline that you’re joining today. Next, do everything in an orderly fashion. (more…)

Think Together

Think Together

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 292 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are several forms of leadership in all of its forms. Forms of leadership in the family, the workplace, in schools, or organizations. Leadership is not about cloning anyone to fit the image or disposition of the one leader. This is absolutely incorrect.

An authentic leader must embrace human diversity to be a true leader. The distinction is between people who are a positive phenomenon and things that they bring, are actually not a threat. These concepts are rooted in the leaders’ appreciation of the Creator of humanity. The G-d Himself, the Creator who created the whole world, and since G-d created so many distinct spaces, spirits, hearts, and so many different people, the unique quality of a true leader is one that accepts each and every one of them. (more…)

Selfish Or Selfless

Selfish Or Selfless

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 291 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There is a concept in life that every challenge we are presented with packs a certain amount of energy. To meet that challenge requires an amount of energy equal to that of the challenge from us. If the resistance is ten pounds, we need to counter it with ten pounds. But we need eleven pounds or more to overcome it.

When it comes to the tension between the matter and spirit, the spirit must apply that much energy, and more to overcome the matter. Physically speaking, two of us cannot sit in the same seat at the same time. This is because physicality, by definition, takes up time and space. In order to share with one another, we have to give up something. If we have food and we share with another, we then have less. If we have money and we share with another, we now have less. Things are measured in a quantitative manner in the world of matter. That’s just what it is. (more…)

Does Perfection Exist

Does Perfection Exist

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 290 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “human perfection”. Does it exist? Is it even possible, and where does it come from? You should know, there is always room for advancement in all matters of goodness and holiness. Since these are infinite, as derived from the infinite itself, there is room for improvement. In the human concept there is no such a thing as “human perfection”.

A person must make allowances for others in the same way that they expect. Also, the other to have such allowances coming from them. There’s no way at any time, that any one person can say they are perfect. There’s not such a thing. (more…)

Ah-Ha Moment

Ah-Ha Moment

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 289 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are times during the day, or during the week, or other at times in our lives that make a difference. There are also moments that are called the “Ah-ha” moments. We are all familiar with them. It’s the moment when the answers you’ve been looking for travel from your heart to your head and then you say, “This is it!” No questions, no interruptions, just a silent recognition of the desired answer you were asking for. Listen and follow what you need to do.

Sometimes at that very moment you make an important decision. Something that you’ve been looking for and that you’ve been thinking about. Something that has been continuously in your mind and in your heart. Something that you wanted to find out more about. In actuality it is there, and now it makes a difference. You’ve made the decision to become better, greater. (more…)

Run Your Own Life

Run Your Own Life

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 288 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

You want to know the best way to run your life? The best way to reach the highest levels of happiness and contentment? The time to reach the ultimate level of goodness? To be the one that you dream to be? Then here is some advice that might help. “Run your own life.”

Don’t let anyone or anything change the person that you are. Run your own life and don’t let this be affected by the mores or the fashions or the dictates, or the direction that everybody else is going into.

You see other people smoking. You know that smoking is dangerous to your health, but it has a certain “cool vibe” around it. It makes you look different, perhaps even more important. Don’t follow that. (more…)

External & Internal

External & Internal

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 287 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal.
The external self is the person who shows the outcome of who they are on the outside. It’s how they dress, how they act, and the person that they are trying to impress upon others of who they really are. The internal part, is what they feel, what they think, things that are more personal to themselves. (more…)

Yes Ma’am

Yes Ma’am

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 286 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever visited the south or met some people from the south? An interesting thing that they say down there; one is “yes, ma’am” or “yes, sir.” Many people refer to each other as yes, ma’am, yes, sir. This is how they speak. It’s interesting. There are also some countries that won’t call you by your first or last name. They’ll call you Mister and Miss. Titles that are given to people.

I find it fascinating that you can be in a place and when you ask them a question, irrespective of the person you’re speaking with, they will say to you, “yes, sir,” “yes, ma’am.” This is such a wonderful way to communicate with one another. I find it so elegant and extremely polite. It is not something which they have to force themselves onto. They even have people who speak that way to their own parents. The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she’ll say, “Yes, sir,” or the mother will ask something of the child and the child will respond, “Yes, ma’am.” (more…)

3 Approaches to Life

3 Approaches to Life

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 285 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

The world is made up of many different people with different characters, different habits, different personalities. It doesn’t really matter where you come from or where you are, or what you’ve done in your life up until now. It is made up of different people. It’s just what the world is.

There are three approaches in life. If you’ve heard about that. There’s a saying “As we begin, so it goes” meaning that the way things are going and the way that you start. Great project, for instance, often begin with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and excitement, and energy, and some people are the ones that start setting down new foundations because they found something which was great and it’s reflected in their actions. They like to start things, they like to innovate, and this is what they do. That’s all they do, and then they walk away. (more…)

Seeking the Truth

Seeking the Truth

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 284 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Some people are seeking the truth about everything in the world. They want to know everything before they can accomplish anything. “I want to know my purpose in life. I want to know what is the reason for the world to be what it is. I want to know why I’m here and what is my mission. I want to know this and I want to know that.”

They want to know everything. Until they find out, until they’re truly in a place where they understand, they refuse to act, accomplish, grow, or become productive. They refuse to. That’s quite interesting. (more…)

The Truth of the Matter

The Truth of the Matter

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 283 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

You’ll often hear people saying, “How can I be better? What can I do to be the best that I can be, or all that I can be? It’s not so simple. I’m not sure where to start, besides who am I after all? I’m not very rich, I’m not very bright, I’m not very popular.”

A person can look at themselves in such a negative way. They are just not too sure about what their abilities are, and they often forget exactly what they have in store for them. This makes it very difficult to achieve anything in the world. The truth of the matter is, that with your mind seek the truth and to critically examine yourself with every move that you make. Make sure that it conforms with truth and integrity of character. You can change everything about you, not just about the person that you are, but the person that you used to be, and become totally new. (more…)

It All Begins With You

It All Begins With You

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 282 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

If you want things to be different, better, or greater know that it all begins with you. Any given day you wish, you can discipline yourself to change everything around you. You can change it all, in just one moment.

You can also do nothing if you want to, or you can even pretend rather than perform. This is all up to you – it all begins with you.

You can choose at times, if you wish, to rest; or not work.

You can entertain yourself over growing and being educated.

You can believe in delusion instead of truth or fact. (more…)

Surprise

Surprise

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 749 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever been given a surprise party for an occasion in your life?

It is quite amazing, astonishing, awesome, even revealing. I was given one recently by my children and I can tell you that the feeling is one of a particular beauty. When you see that people who love you gather around and have prepared for you a beautiful surprise. It was a surprise party, a celebration of success and goodness. It will be a time when you look around with amazement and goodness you and see the true fruits of many years of labor. It no longer becomes something of intuition – it’s an acceptance, a discipline, dynamic, and authentic.

That’s what it was. Sitting there, I looked around at my children, each one of them made full efforts to make this a special night. (more…)

Incarcerated

Incarcerated

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 748 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I met someone today who was incarcerated. I was given the name from a friend, and they asked me to visit him as they lived far away. I had the opportunity to sit with this person for quite a bit of time. Incarcerated is a difficult situation, an imprisonment to be detained, confined, jailed, or locked up. There is not much that can be done.

This person had so much time on his hands. He was very upset with what happened. I asked him, “How do you feel about being here?”

He said, “I am not mad at the world. I am mad at myself for what I did, to be here. If I had a message for the world, I would tell them to be continuously thankful to be free and do whatever they wish to do. Even if it is just to stay up late and look at the stars.” I was saddened by the fact that this person felt so much remorse, and yet had not been given freedom yet. (more…)

Following Death

Following Death

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 747 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are subjects which are difficult to discuss for obvious reasons, and one of them is death. What happens when a person passes away? A loved one. Someone with whom we were close. Someone we admired or someone that we looked up to… What happens to them?

A story or a suggestion of something that you might want to think about. Assume, for whatever reason, a person whom you love has been called away into a distant provincial town. Their job there was going to be to serve to a higher capacity, and to occupy a position of honor. This would be in the most luxurious palace or royal academy.

If a person was called to do such a job, their friends and family members around them would be proud to hear of such an event. They would be looking at this venture as a great opportunity.

Now, take this example in our own world. This is what happens when someone passes away. They actually are called to a higher duty, a greater and better place. An amazing opportunity for them to do even more than they did when they were here with us. Suddenly now, following death is a great venture that happens to all the departed ones. (more…)

Don’t Judge

Don’t Judge

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 746 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

At times during circumstances we can be quick to judge. We look at people or their actions, and immediately, unobjectively say things and judge these people in ways that is very narrow minded.

You need to be extremely humble in relation to every person. That is to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else. This is an important concept in order to lead a good life.

Objectively speaking you might say, “How can you consider yourself less meritorious than those who at least appear to be less worthy of your own respect?” You have to bear in mind a very important concept, not to judge anyone until you actually have reached their place. You see, we all have challenges. The fact that sometimes we don’t succumb to these challenges or particular temptation where another person might doesn’t make us superior to them at all.

Who can measure the effect of someone else’s upbringing, environment, inborn character and weaknesses against temptations that one faces? We don’t know this. (more…)

Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 745 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

People sometimes believe that they have a tremendous amount of pressure in their lives, and they don’t know how to react to it. There is nothing more conducive to attune the mind and the heart towards consciousness that there is a Divine Presence above and beyond us. This is the reason why people should pray daily. By praying, a person should know that there is a Being, above and beyond all our consciousness, that is watching over us.

You may say, “I don’t quite see G-d when I pray.” That may be true, but to attain peace, specifically peace of mind, and general contentment, a person should pray to a higher Being. There is a Creator in this world, and through prayer and direct personal contact with this absolutely unbelievable infinite Being, G-d Himself.

One is reminded every day that G-d is actually not that far away. Not in the seventh heaven or somewhere that we can’t even see or understand. The extra Being that we’re speaking about here, is yourself along with the Creator. He is present right here, right next to you, and His benevolent providence extends to each and every one individual. (more…)
