Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 744 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There was once a person who had acquired quite a bit of wealth, and he believed in his heart that all this success was due to his own imagination, his ambition, his strength, his knowledge, and his beliefs.
His mentor, who knew better than this, once visited him, and he asked, “What makes you think you earned all these blessings and all of this money?”
The man, in the most arrogant way, answered, “Well, I’m very smart, and because of my work I deserve all the wealth that I’ve acquired.”
The mentor looked at him and said, “Please follow me.”
So, the man did. They went closer to a window that looked outside on the street, and the mentor asked the man, “What do you see?” (more…)

Our universe is made up of four separate worlds. Although they are united, they are different from one another. The first one is the world of inanimate. It is by far the greatest in quantity. As the world was created, the world of the inanimate was first developed. It includes, but is not limited to, the earth that makes up the valleys and the rivers, the sand that covers the miles of beaches, and the stones that form the mountains.
The world of inanimate doesn’t have a vocal voice, like human beings do. But, at times of an earthquake, or during a violent whirlwind, it is very clear that the world of inanimate does have a way to express itself. (more…)

Years ago, one of my daughters was away in school, so, I wrote her a personal letter. Within that letter, I expressed the importance of time. The preciousness of how many hours are in a day and how many seconds are in an hour, and to use them properly. To invest them in goodness and brightness, and to become a different person.
Then I took a letter of the alphabet – just one letter – and I chose the letter F, and what F could be. I wrote, the letter F is a simple letter in the ABC’s, but it has so much to say about life. F stands for fun, frivolities, fallacy, fashions, fads, “following foolish friends”, flashy, “first but fake”, failure, “fight fire”, “for your fate”. (more…)

If you want to accomplish many things in your life you need to limit how much you sleep. Now you may say, “Why is that? I love sleeping. Actually, sleeping is so good – it makes me feel comfortable, it gives me rest, and it allows me to dream.”
This is true, and all of this is necessary, but it needs to be limited. You need to sleep little because your life is precious and your friends are precious. You need to get rid of any ambiguity that you have, once you analyze your situation, you can awaken the passion within yourself that will catapult your goals and brighten your future in the way that you’ve never even thought could be possible. To do that, you need to be awake. (more…)

Do you find that you’re not living a meaningful life?
Do you find perhaps, that you’re lacking in having a life full of goodness and greatness?
What is it that you’re looking for?
If you find it, what will there be?
Once you have found the meaning of life, will there be enough life left at that moment to live meaningfully? (more…)

When I was growing up I always learned that things had to be done thoroughly, comprehensively, and in an ordinate manner. If you put in the time in what you do, and do it properly, you will find benefits in the results of your labor. The fruits of that labor will be deserved properly at the right time.
There are people today, who look for shortcuts. They think that they should be rich overnight. They think they should have all the intelligence and wisdom in the world, all at the tip of their fingers.
Technology has brought so many wonderful things to our world and our universe, but there are no shortcuts. If you want to be educated, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and gain wisdom you will have to work. It will take time. You will have to analyze your situation and gather all the strength that you need to understand the wisdom behind science, culture, arts, and discipline. (more…)

I once read that that man’s life is dependent on the air around him. Without air, he cannot live, and the quality of life is dependent on the quality of the air. The air itself can be compared to not only something physical but also spiritual.
In an atmosphere where there’s a lack of kindness or goodness, or ethics, there is a healthy life that will be missing as well. In a place where we don’t recognize that there is a Creator of the world, or that there is a Supreme Being, the environment itself is diseased. It is constantly threatened with a possibility of being stricken with contagious maladies. It’s just the physical acting onto the spiritual. This is part of life. (more…)

In the morning, we open our eyes after a good night’s sleep and having stretched out our limbs, and straightened our back and even clothed ourselves. We are then ready to begin a new day, all fresh with vigor and strength. The miracle of rest and the renewed strength is experienced every single morning. This is when we rise from our sleep to begin a new day with renewed energy. But as in the case of many other wonders which we see daily, or at least at regular intervals like the rising of the sun, and the changing of the seasons, our attention is usually not as excited by these events. So, we often not look at them in a particular manner. (more…)

Man is the only living creature that has to dress himself in clothes. Have you ever thought about that for a moment? All other animals and birds are born with their clothes on, or they grow their own clothes such as furs and feathers and so on. Now, these protect them from the elements; the cold, the heat, the rain, and anything else that they need protection from.
Human beings wear clothes not just for protection against the elements. There are climates in certain parts of the world where no clothes are necessary for protection. Yet even the natives of those climates wear certain clothing, certain coverings. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Clothes are important because without those, a person is somewhat ashamed of who they may be. (more…)

We are like people who are bound with ropes. When we wake up, we feel released. We are again, in control of our movements and we can get out of bed; but until that moment, we’re tied.
In a deeper sense, there are people who are tied hand and foot in a variety of ways. For instance, one may find oneself enmeshed in economic difficulty, or bound by financial obligation. One may find oneself a prisoner of circumstances. There are many ways to be bound up in life. (more…)

There are many good health habits in this world. Some we learned by ourselves and some that we are taught from families, friends, or parents. Brushing your teeth, sitting properly at the table, eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away, there are so many of these wonderful sayings.
But some habits are destructive, and can, unfortunately, impede your health, or somewhat limit some of your general functions.
Smoking, for instance, is one of them. Smoking will reduce your ability to run and often to do things in the happiest way. It will also control your mind at times by dictating what type of mood you will have. (more…)

I am a firm believer that many people try their best to have a different view on the world, and they strive to be good. Striving to be good is not something which is unique to one person. I truly believe that it is the goal of most people.
Here’s a suggestion: you need to set forth a program for goodness, striving in the best way that you can with your mind and seeking the truth. Be able to critically examine every move that you make. Make sure that you conform with honesty and integrity. This will come through great efforts. This effort doesn’t imply that one must pulverize mountains, shatter boulders, and turn the world upside down in order to be good. (more…)

A great man once said, “The one who sees the consequences of his actions will actually lead a beautiful life. They will never come to do things that are either inappropriate, or not according to the ways of nature.”
By seeing future consequences of an action, a person will make the right choices. And as a matter of fact, a person will always lead a good life.
Only a clear recognition – so clear that it’s actually seen as a higher understanding – of the loss that will be caused by something done inappropriately, can safeguard a person from slipping into things which are not supposed to be done.
Take a moment and analyze your situation. Look at the things that you should be doing, or not be doing, and you will lead a very good life. One who sees the consequences understands that what will happen in the future may not be the right thing and therefore they will be held back from doing things which they’re not supposed to do.

Are you worrying about things in your life? You may worry about losing some of the things that you have accumulated, or perhaps losing a close friend or a relative. Or maybe even losing an opportunity. How does worry help you in any way?
Think about it for a second, what does worrying bring you? Worrying, is a disease, and if it spreads it can be dangerous. It doesn’t bring anything at all. It doesn’t even help you. If anything, it makes you depressed, upset, and often wondering about what the future will be.
Why worry? Why not let nature, life, and the eagerness to live a good and happy life, be the one that guides you? (more…)

There is a word which can be difficult to understand at times. The word is ‘entitlement’. Why would anybody think that they are entitled to some things?
For instance, a person says, “I’m entitled to my rights. This is part of my being here.”
Or a person may say, “I’m entitled to receive what is due to me.” An entitlement means there is a certain designation. A denomination that has been specific for that person, and this has to be given. (more…)

It has been said that a person should be humble of spirit before every other individual. The reason for this is that each person has a quality that others lacks, and they complement one another.
There are some advantages that one person may have over another. One may have superiority in one area, and another might need help in that same area.
This is analogist of the human body, which contains a head and feet. The feet are at the lowest point, and the head sits at the highest point, superior to all other organs. In a sense, the feet still have an advantage over the head. The head needs the feet to go places. In this way, the legs support the body. When one experiences pain in the head, one can draw blood from the feet in order to heal the head. Thus, the head is lacking without the feet. So too, everyone needs every other human being. (more…)

A wise man taught that everything we see, whether good or bad, is really a reflection of ourselves. If it was not, we would simply not see it. This phenomenon is part of the kindness that the Creator has given to us. This is the way that He teaches us a lesson in life.
Most of us have difficulty hearing or finding out from others that we have a flaw, that we don’t recognize. In order for us to figure it out in a way that we would accept, the Creator sets up a confrontation with a person who exhibits the same flaw in some form. When we see it, we react by saying, “How terrible is that! I can’t believe it.” But then it dawns on us that we exhibit the same type of behavior, maybe in a different form.
The same is also true with positive things. We recognize a positive characteristic in others because we have it in ourselves. If we didn’t have any element of it we would not be able to recognize it. In other words, you are what you see and you see what you are. This is all about facing yourself. That’s what the world is. (more…)

I’m sure you’ve heard of the word ‘arrogance’. This word describes the ego of a person who is pretentious, vain, disdainful. Ego is a disease, it’s something that bothers the whole world, yet we live with it. Many people think it’s quite alright to be arrogant. They believe that everything that they do is better than anything else; that anyone else does. They believe that everything they do is better than what anybody else does. Why be arrogant?
When I was younger, I learned that words that come from the heart, enter the heart. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to better understand the wisdom of these words, and their profound meaning.
I decided to create these lessons some time ago. The reason for doing so was an attempt to share with as many people as possible ideas, feelings, and concepts that could be helpful to listeners.
Now you must know that these lessons I write about, I have learned from different people. They were brought from many different sources including close friends, family members, mentors, and others. (more…)

I was asked a question, “How do you control your life? How do you discipline yourself? What do you do to dominate the day? How do you manage and rule everything that you do?”
When you take control of your life, the first place to start is with time. Wherever you place your hours of the day, this is where your time control starts. But, you cannot control time until you first control yourself.
Life is like a coin; you can spend it any way you wish. But you can only spend it once. So, you have to ask yourself:
Where have you placed your heart?
Where have you placed your mind and your soul?
What is important to you? (more…)

People often wonder what a parent should be. How can we teach a parent? How do we become a parent? What should a parent learn, and where should a parent get their information to become a parent?
The truth is, there isn’t any book out there that you can read that can make you a parent. To be a parent means living by example. It is who you are. By being a good person, by being kind and giving, by being understanding and always loving, then you will be a good parent.
Parenting is not a trick. It’s not a concept or something that you learn as a technique or procedure. It’s not a program, and it’s certainly not a classroom that you set up in your home to show your children who you are. (more…)
