Have a Great Day

Have a Great Day

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 211 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I wish for you to have a great day. But, what does that mean? It means that today you will benefit from the goodness of the world.

May your day be filled with happiness and joy.

May you accomplish all of the tasks that you had set out to do.

May you see true goodness and revealed goodness in all your actions.

May you have a good day because today is the day that you made the decision to turn your life around.

May you have a good day because you deserve it. (more…)

I Met a Man

I Met a Man

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 210 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I met a man whose facial expressions were so difficult to understand. I sat down with him and I asked him why he was not well.

He said he had wasted many years of his life. He had gone down a path that he should not have, and he had done things he regretted. He said that some things he had done, he had never wished upon himself. He had been carried by the waves of life and circumstances.

Then I asked him, “Today, how are you?”

He said, “Things had changed.” He clearly stated that he had made a difference in his life. At one point in time, he realized that he had hit rock bottom – financially, spiritually, economically, and physically. In every way. Then he made the decision to not do that anymore. He also realized that he was in complete, genuine, unadulterated control of his life. Once he realized that, he made the turn. (more…)

End of Life

End of Life

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 209 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

How often do you think of the end of life, the end of your life or someone else’s life? It’s not something that people want to talk about. Death is something that people try to shy away from. They don’t want to hear about it or they think they’ll live forever even though everyone will have to die. We look around and see everyone passing away, at one point or another, yet people don’t want to talk about it.

But my question to you is this: at the end of life, where would you like to be? Where do you think you should end up at the end of life? Your life, not someone else’s life; your life? Would you find yourself climbing a new mountain or sliding down an old one? Will it be flourishing, fulfilling, enriching, what will it be? Will you live a life of discovery, development, and growth? Or is your end of life where you’re just tired of this old rotting concept, day in and day out? (more…)

New Visions

New Visions

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 208 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Imagine you could open your eyes to see only the good in every person.

Imagine you could open your eyes to see the positive in every circumstance.

Imagine you could open your eyes to see the opportunity in every challenge.

How would your life be? Think about this, if you only saw the good in everyone that you meet and everyone that you see, how would the world be?

Imagine, instead of looking at it in a negative way, you would see the positive aspect, you would greatly grow from every circumstance. (more…)

Fanatics

Fanatics

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 207 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever thought of the word fanatic? A fanatic seems to be someone who is the extreme, either way too far to the right or way too far to the left. When a person drives and they see someone in front of them, they always think that they drive too slow, and yet when they look back in their rearview mirror, they think that the person behind them drives too fast. So, basically, the one in front of me slows me down, but the one behind me actually is too close to me. We call them both fanatics.

We always think we are in the center. We’re not the one driving too fast or the one driving too slow, and so it is with most issues in life and most circumstances. If someone is way too far out, we call them fanatics. They are too religious or they’re too liberal, or too frivolous, they’re too frugal, they’re too conscientious, they’re too much of this or too much of that. (more…)

The Elderlies

The Elderlies

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 206 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever had the opportunity to deal with an elderly? A mother, a father, or grandmother, or grandfather, or even a great-grandfather, a great-grandmother? It can also be an uncle or someone of a distant relationship.

An elderly, to a certain extent, if you look at them, they are like children. Indeed, elderlies lose their hair, their skin becomes very smooth and you can even see right through them to see the veins popping up. They also become temperamental. They become needy. They have to eat quite often throughout the day. Some of them even need to be changed, unfortunately. Many of them need help in walking, eating, or dressing or undressing. (more…)

Opposite of Dreams

Opposite of Dreams

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 205 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

What is the opposite of a dream? Most people call it a nightmare.

It’s interesting but in dreams, paradoxes actually unite. They become together. You can have opposites; you can have a ball fit into a box and at the same time that box, can be inside the ball. That’s what dreams are. Now, in the opposite of a dream, a nightmare as most people call it, somethings maybe scary. An interesting concept is that any scary dream or nightmare, one wakes up right before the worst happens. Have you ever realized that? For instance, someone’s running behind you but just when that person is about to catch you, you wake up. Why is that? How is that possible?

The reason is that you are the one running. You are letting that person run after you, and therefore, you won’t allow the other to catch you. That’s what dreams are, and so with nightmares: the ability to think of things which are above and beyond your conscious level but not so far that you’re not able to control it. Therefore, right before you wake up, you actually now stop the dream even though this was at its peak, at its worst. (more…)

Light & Life

Light & Life

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 204 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever thought about the difference between light and life? When light is turned on in a dark room there are no new objects that are added to this room. Light allows you to appreciate that which existed there before that’s what it does. Nothing was added. The same thing is with life. When a corpse is given life, the only difference is breathing and then it starts living but otherwise, it’s the same thing.

To be happy, you have a clear conscious or you will kill your conscious, it’s up to you. You can decide what you want to do with that. For instance, a farmer who plants in the spring and then a storm comes and takes it all away yet he goes back the next spring and he plants all over again, he doesn’t pay attention to the past. He knows what he can do. (more…)

Be Accountable

Be Accountable

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 203 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

I’m sure you recall often when your parents or teachers, or people who raised you, often said to you, “You have to be responsible. Be a responsible person. Responsible for your actions and responsible for everything around you.”

The truth is, that may be a misnomer. Responsible is important, of course, but here is what’s more important, being accountable. Responsible is good because you become an adult. Accountable means that you realize what you’re doing and you’re doing it because there is going to be in your life, and in the rest of the world, some accountability as to what you’ve done to this world. Now, the reason why you want to be accountable for what you’ve done, it’s because you are capable of doing it all. (more…)

Sublimation

Sublimation

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 202 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

People ask, “How do you have a great relationship with your spouse? With a partner, with your children, with your parents, with a colleague at work, or a neighbor? With acquaintances or friends, or people that you’re sitting next to on a flight? How do you become that person that makes others feel better than they are, so when they walk away they say, ‘This was an amazing meeting?'”

That’s the question.

Some people say it’s by obliteration. Obliteration means you don’t exist; you are nobody and whatever you do, consider yourself smaller than anybody else. Obliterate yourself, your feelings, your wants, your needs. (more…)

Love Me

Love Me

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 201 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

The word love can be used in such a wide variety of situations, we often lose its concept. Children are the best ones to express what love means. When you look at a child, a small baby doesn’t ask for anything. The small baby is just there and they look at you with a warm, kind, deep sigh. They have just slept and if they have been fed, and finished their needs, they are just looking at you. What they say is, “Love me. Love me for who I am, love me for what I bring to the world. Don’t look at some of the things which make me sometime not the person you want me to be. Don’t think of me as a difficult portion of your life. Don’t look at me as an opportunity to do things that are not supposed to be done. Love me for who I am and let me love you the way I want you to love me.” (more…)

Birth of Iron

Birth of Iron

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 200 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

It is told that when iron was created in the world; wherever there was wood, the trees got worried. They thought, “Goodness, now that the iron is here, we can be cut down. We no longer are the majestic vegetation and growth and trunks that’s we thought we were. We could be destroyed because of iron.”

This is not truth because in order for the iron to cut the tree, it must have a handle. The handle itself becomes the axe, and it’s with that handle which holds on to the part of the iron which can cut the tree. Without the handle, the axe serves no purpose; it can’t harm anyone. (more…)

Bad Habits

Bad Habits

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 199 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

What is a bad habit? A bad habit is something that you should not be doing, but for whatever reason you are stuck doing it.

This is not something you have to keep or something you must have with you all the time. You can change it, but because it is a habit you have become used to it.

The problem with a bad habit is not the fact that “it is not good”; a bad habit actually inhibits your success. It prohibits you from moving forward. What you need to do, is remember that unless you want to grow and grow in the right direction, this bad habit, serves no purpose. If you get out of this bad habit you can do so much more. (more…)

Lift Me Up

Lift Me Up

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 197 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

If you see me at times doing things which are improper, lift me up. Such a beautiful concept. If you hear things that I say which are incorrect or harmful lift me up. If there is something that I have done to you or someone you know which was not right, lift me up. Lift me up on top of the world, and show me, help me, guide me. When you lift up others, you rise.

Here is the key; by lifting someone else up you, are changing the world. What good is it to bring them down? Admonish them? Tell them how terrible they are? What does it accomplish? (more…)

Living Two Lives

Living Two Lives

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 195 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are people who live two lives.

The one that they wish to be and the one that they have to be. Some people believe that they have to do certain things in order to be accomplished or at least be successful. They believe that when they go to work, they have to act a certain way. They have to speak in a stern assertive fashion. They may even believe that they say things that are not true to accomplish a goal.

But, when they come home they live a different life. One that lets them know they need to be nice and kind, and they do it with integrity. (more…)

Show Me

Show Me

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 194 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Everyday there is a prayer that you can say that will help you grow and change. Ask G-d to show you the way. These are the words that you can use:

Dear Creator show me the value of time. Show me the dignity of simplicity. Show me the influence of an example. Show me the virtue of patience. Show me success to persevere and the worth of having a good character. Show me the obligation of my duties and the improvement of my talents. Show me the pleasure of working and being productive. Show me the power of kindness. Show me the wisdom of being helpful, but show me the joy of originality. Show me what to do.

(more…)

Admonish

Admonish

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 193 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever admonished someone?

Do you even know the definition of the word admonish?

To caution, to advise, or to counsel someone against something. But this is often to reprove or scold and is usually ill mannered.

You might say admonishing is good because it can help the other person change themselves. I believe there are two ways to help another person. (more…)

Hear the Voice Within

Hear the Voice Within

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 192 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

How many times has it occurred, that you are facing a situation, a challenge, or just a question in your life and you’re not sure what to do?

I’ll tell you a secret… You have within yourself a voice. It’s a voice of reason, a voice of goodness, this mindful voice can always guide you properly.

What you need to do is hear the voice. Hear the voice because it is within you and it is always there and ready to help you. At times, we may want to do things that are either forbidden, inappropriate, or for whatever reason not right. (more…)

Foolish Talk

Foolish Talk

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 191 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you are around people who use words that don’t mean anything?

They say things that they don’t mean or they sometimes express themselves in ways that make absolutely no sense. Then they say, “I didn’t mean that”, or “that’s really not what I said.”

This is called “foolish talk”.

What is “foolish talk”? Words, concepts, or a pattern of thoughts which are said in words and really didn’t get anywhere. (more…)
