Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 969 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Here is a subject which is close to my heart for many years and that is, how do we change our mind to see the positive?
There’s a theory behind it and it’s been proven, even scientifically. As a matter of fact, recent breakthroughs show that the brain functions in two areas. When it’s the left side of the brain, we think thoughts of peace and happiness, joy, contentment, even optimism. But when the right side is activated, then we have the opposite. We have the doom and gloom, and the worries, and even pessimism.
Now, each one of those can be activated at any given time and we have the power to control one versus the other. And, by the time we become adults, unfortunately, depending on the character and the life that we’ve lived, we automatically go towards one versus the other. It’s interesting, isn’t it? (more…)

The topic of money has always been a difficult subject to approach. Money is such an emotional topic and most people have ambivalent feelings about it or speaking about it.
Now, so many things are being shown on television and on the internet about movies and how they characterize people who are so wealthy. Is really the love of money that is evil or is money the root of all evil? It’s a difficult question. One thing is for sure however, if you could do better in life and if you could strive in an ethical and legal way to acquire more, is that bad, is that not good?
You see, the greatest satisfaction in life or at least one of the greatest satisfaction in life comes to those who make it a habit of doing the best at everything with everything they’ve got, and doing less than that, it’s a way of showing that you really don’t care so much about your life. (more…)

There are studies that have been published in the recent past that show that the belief that you cannot change other people is not only disempowering, it is scientifically false. Isn’t that interesting? We always thought and always heard that you can’t change other people, that whoever they are, that’s where they’re going to stay. However, what you can do is you can influence them. Influencing someone means giving them the opportunity to expand their mind to see other possibilities. (more…)

Articulating a goal is quite challenging. Ask yourself the question, what would you like to do to change your life for the better? Would you like to be more focused or friendly? Would you like to have a better communication with the people that you’re with? Is it time to set up a plan for you to earn more money, have a greater work and life balance perhaps, maybe less stress, learn about confidence, acquiring patience, what is it? What are your goals?
By articulating these goals, you can change to have what you want or more of what you want. The truth is, nothing in life is more satisfying than someone articulating a goal and actually achieving it, not to invigorate. The discipline that it takes you to get there, it is the bridge between thought and accomplishment, and once you arrive there, you’ll be better in everything that you wish. Perhaps maybe as mentioned before: dealing with anger, stop worrying, becoming, to a certain extent, more caring, more confident, or being able to delegate things in the office or to people who work around you. Achieve whatever it is that you want to develop. (more…)

This is a difficult subject to discuss: suffering. Why do people suffer? Especially some people makes it even harder to accept when we see children in hospital wards that are suffering and that are in pain. We don’t quite understand it.
Why do we have to endure suffering and where does it come from? And there’s a suggested advice as to enable one to accept it with love and that is that, if one sees infliction befalling him, he should examine his deeds. It doesn’t mean that that person has done anything wrong as in the case of the child in the hospital. We don’t quite understand the need or the source of that suffering. Suffering is a difficult test that we have to go through, but here’s an example that you might think about: imagine in a palace lived an awesome king who, out of his immense love for his only son, who will become a prince later and once, (more…)

One of the most relaxing and great opportunities of life is to travel. When you travel, you have the benefit of being alone with your thoughts. You can gain confidence, you can meet people, you can even discover new things and experiences that you enjoy. You’re actually the master of your own schedule when you travel, especially to destinations where you can have relaxations.
I had dinner with some friends recently and they spoke about places that they went to see, places they visited, and what they enjoyed the most. One of those places, one of the person was saying, was up in the mountains in a secluded area amongst nature, and he woke up early, he said, and prayed, and he felt that he was just there among the millions and billions and billions of other creations, but he felt that the whole world was centered around where he was.

I met someone the other day who was worried all week, and this person told me that it felt as though it had rained every single day even though the weather was quite nice. This person worried for days about something that she could not control, and actually, it ended up just fine anyway.
What a waste of time and energy that we find sometimes worrying about things that we shouldn’t be worried about.
Worry, interestingly enough, typically is about the future even if it is a moment from now, a minute from now. And what we are really worried about is our ability and capacity to deal with what’s going to happen, that’s what worry is all about. (more…)

Today, I would like to discuss about personality development. Each and every man possesses many character traits as we know and each trait is very different and distant from the others.
One type of man for instance is angry constantly. In contrast, there’s the calm individual who is never moved to anger or if at all, he will be slightly angry, perhaps once during many years. Then there’s also the prideful man and the one who is exceptionally humble. There’s the man ruled by his appetites. He will never be satisfied for pursuing his desires, and conversely, the very pure of heart who does not desire even the little that the body needs. There’s also the greedy man who cannot be satisfied with all the money in the world. As it says in the proverb, a “lover of money never has his fill of money.” (more…)

I read recently that a Harvard University study, found that exposure to blue light which is the light produced by the cell phone, can suppress melatonin and also, it can even shift your circadian rhythm.
Now, the circadian rhythm is roughly a 24-hour cycle in the physiological processes of living beings, including the plants, animals, and even the cyanobacteria. In order to sleep peacefully at night, a person should make sure that they turn off their cell phone or put it in a night shift mode, basically. (more…)

Have you noticed that everything is moving faster and faster around you?
In everything that we do, everything around us, the world is moving faster. The development of technology in the last few years, has brought an explosion, a cataclysmic change in everything that we do and we’re all trying to keep up. Never before has there been a greater need and necessity for us to understand the obligation to slow down and appreciate what we have.
Now, we can learn to harness the power of patience and understanding, the need for what we do in all of our lives. That’s a combination of wanting to, motivation of doing it, an awareness of paying attention to our inner landscape of who we are and what we want, and practicing, a cultivation of getting what we need to do. We can do it because as human beings, we have the power to control what we need in this world, and how we live our lives. It is such a critical component of what we do. We’ve done this, as a matter of fact. How else did we get through learning to work on our jobs, going through school, learning to develop relationships, learning to love certain things and walk away from others? We’re not just always aware of what happens. We’ve learned it. (more…)

There is a concept in life which brings peace to your heart and your mind. There is a word also that is associated with that, it is called serenity. Now, it is interesting that in the word serenity, there is another concept an attribute that characterizes what serenity is, and that concept is called patience. To have the patience to do what you need to do. Patience gives you calmness of the spirit, your own spirit. With patience, at any given time your inner experience is more like a still pond rather than raging rivers. Things can be quite complicated at times. But with patience, true serenity, you are able to stay calm on the inside no matter what is happening on the outside. There’s a certain composure, peace of mind, a stillness, a tranquility. There is calmness. You trust, if you reach that level, in your capacity to deal with whatever comes your way. And whatever the issue is, you can overcome it. (more…)

Every human being has within them, two voices. One to help them grow and become better, and the other one to suppress them and to hold them back. Those two voices are there continuously trying to take over and decide which one is going to win. Now, the negative one, the evil inclination, you might want to call evil impulse or the one drawing the person down will try to deceive you. It’s going to tell you that you’ve committed a major problem or a major transgression, when really all you’ve done is a small neglect of an extra detail or perhaps not even a transgression. What is its intent? To get you to be sad or miserable and make other mistakes, and it’s amazing how it draws the person down. (more…)

What are the character traits that a person should train himself to follow? It’s quite interesting.
You see, people have different natural traits. Some men are irritable and they’re prone to anger. Others, they’re stable and they never become angry or they are rarely provoked to anger, only once every few years. Some people are very proud, while others are humble. Some are controlled by desire, and they will never be satisfied in their search for pleasure; yet, others have pure hearts and they will not desire even their basic necessities. (more…)

There are times when you experience fear and it could be scary but then as it passes, you realize that it was nothing. So you ask the question, “Why did this happen? Why did I have to go through this experience?”
Now, you can use your mind and shape your fears if you want to. You have the opportunity to train your emotion so that when you can and you wish to, the fear itself becomes controllable, and when it’s necessary, you have the opportunity to go through the exercise of fear, but knowing how to handle it.

Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation where you can’t move forward and you don’t want to use the expression, “I promise to do.” You would rather use the expression, “I’ll try to do”, because you’re afraid to commit yourself or you would find it difficult to live up to your promise.
Now, it’s interesting that experience has shown that when a person makes a promise to do something, this very promise gives them the strength to carry it, without hesitation and with greater ease. Whereas, one does not commit herself or herself, promising only to try, or to do one’s best, and when the matter comes up and there’s a temptation not to do it, that person is most likely to fail, saying to themselves that after all, they didn’t “promise to do it.” They only said they would try and therefore, they’re not breaking their word and their conscience doesn’t bother them.

You know, it is said that there are six doctors in the world that are better than all the other healthcare practitioners you can find. And their names are Sun, Rest, Exercise, Diet, Self-confidence, and Friends.
If you maintain all of them in stages of life with a good relationship, you will enjoy a healthy life. It’s interesting, isn’t it? You see, it says that we are “tourists” and the Creator of the world is the “travel agent”. He has already fixed all the routes and made all the reservations to take us to our destination. (more…)

Relatively speaking, there are two attributes in a person’s mind and heart, and body and soul, and they can be divided into two groups. One is the intellectual power, and the other is the emotional attribute.
You see, the primary difference between intellect and emotion is that feelings are outward, towards others. In order to love, for instance, there needs to be someone to love. Intellect on the other hand exists even without another person. It’s entirely possible to learn something on your own. You could do this and no matter what. (more…)

What is the purpose of accumulating money, purpose of wealth? It’s an interesting concept but let me perhaps share an idea with you. The purpose of wealth is so that we can help some conditions be treated appropriately, if the person for instance is not well. We can also help people who don’t have. We can also help build certain things: schools, hospitals, highways. We can build new things to help people. Purpose of wealth is so widely varied. (more…)

So you have made a mistake, something which you wish you hadn’t done. It’s there, it’s clear. Now, you’re trying to figure out how to make up how to change how to return to where you were before that mistake.
Personal interest should not be the main motivating factor in feeling regret over the past and making a firm commitment to change, commitment to change even though most people are generally interested in enjoying the goodness of knowing they’ve been forgiven. Returning means, letting go of the past. And instead of the part of properly and truly changing ourselves, and understanding that it’s not all about me, making a mistake and doing something which is inappropriate is not just a personal problem and it doesn’t just concern our own individual situation, it’s much deeper than that. It’s about fixing the rest of the world and when you make a mistake and things have been disconnected, expressing your regret has a much larger connotation and it reaches passages in worlds way beyond what you think, and we have to find a way to rectify it.
