Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 931 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I met a person who is blind from birth. I sat next to him and he asked me a few questions about who I am and what I do. It’s interesting; although his eyes couldn’t see me, I felt as though his soul penetrated my own being. When I was with him, I could feel as though he was entirely there, fully there.
When you are with someone, are you really there? Really with you and the person at that time?
To be there means that your soul and the person’s soul with whom you are interacting should be united. When you talk to that person, discuss, exchange, share ideas, concepts, feelings, you’re not thinking about anything else, just that person. This is what it means to be really with you. (more…)

Life is very short. Often, we need to be reminded of this. You have to take a moment and realize what is in front of you. Most of us walk around truthfully as if we are sleepwalking. We don’t really spend time experiencing the world in the way that is complete or enjoyable. We’re half asleep and we do things in a routine way.
Now, if you strip away all the stuff and you focus on just what’s essential and what is so beautiful in life, and you realize that you are going to die and that you can die at any time, then life becomes different. (more…)

I had the beautiful privilege of having my own mother visit me just recently. It was such a pleasure having her around, to be around someone who is wise, calm, and extremely bright. It surprised me how much I learned about her.
As we get older, we understand our parents so much better and we see their wisdom and their deep understanding of life. It’s quite interesting, the vision they have of the world. Sometimes, when we have our own personal issue we are experiencing, it is during these good times that we recognize the beauty and the wisdom of our parents. (more…)

It says that there are four general types of temperaments. The question is, which one best suits you? Who are you in these temperaments?
Let’s see. The first one is, “easily angered and easily appeased.”
What that means is that his gain outweighs his loss. He is angry easily, so that means that he’s sensitive to his own feelings and therefore, becomes angry at the slightest motion but is also sensitive to others and therefore he’s appeased easily.
Then, there is the second kind and that is “slow to anger and slow to be appeased.” (more…)

Are you currently experiencing pain? Are you perhaps facing a challenge or an obstacle that seems to be, at least today, in your eyes, overwhelming? Are you in front of a situation that you just don’t know how to resolve?
You see, when we are in such a situation, our vision is limited. We can’t see past the pain and the suffering. There doesn’t appear to be a reason for the pain. We’re caught in such a narrow passage that, we’re trapped in the moments of pain. However, we can broaden our vision and understand that there is a bigger picture. (more…)

Contrary to what people say, be it politicians or activists in this world, everybody is perfectly equal. Every single creation in this world was created for a specific purpose, and each of the creations have a unique opportunity to change the world. When you look at people, everybody, irrespective of their creed, religion, ethnicity, location, age, gender, everybody is perfectly equal. Everyone deserves to live a happy good life; everyone.
It is crucial, literally critical, that everyone has to be helped to try to reach their highest potential and it is our job. It may be a scholarly person, it could be a solitary individual, an uneducated person, whoever it is. You have to consider every single person, being perfectly equal despite their glaring deficiencies, physical or even psychological weaknesses, whether external or superficial. Each and every creation is perfect and they’re equal. (more…)

What do all creatures in our world have in common? Which part of existence is so essential that the world can’t live without?
If we remove, for instance, the color blue from the world, what would happen? What is the one thing that the world has to have in order to exist? Let make a suggestion.
The one thing that all creation has in common is limitation.
Every creation has its own personal limitation and boundaries beginning somewhere and ending somewhere else; starting at one time and ending at another. (more…)

There was once a pianist who played very well and met a very famous pianist, and he asked him, “How are we so different? We both play very well but you are very famous and I am not.”
The famous pianist answered, “The difference between us playing, is the pauses, the silence, the space in between the notes. You have to know how to handle those.”
Sometimes, you meet people who have gone through life and are able to handle circumstances which seem to be so insurmountable.
What is the difference between someone who can overcome a challenge and one who can’t?
There are basically four approaches to life. (more…)

I was once traveling to a third world country. There, I watched an artisan using mosaic on a beautiful piece of art and each piece was placed so carefully.
Every single day in our lives, every single moment of our life, represents the mosaic of our lives. Every piece represents a moment.
You have to be very careful on how you spend that moment. That little piece can make a difference, just like with this artist. He was a poor artisan, and had literally no tool other than a small piece of metal which he would carve around the sculpture to place these small pieces of mosaic.
Why not spend each and every day, a moment, and analyze your day? Did you, at all times do the best that you could? Did you help someone else? Did you make “your” world a better place than it was when you found it? Was there a purpose to your day? Did you accomplish more or less than you were supposed to? (more…)

If you want to live a life of happiness, try to remember these basic facts. They are important because they might set you in a path that you will always appreciate.
The first is to accept responsibility for the things that you do. If you’ve made a mistake, admit it and let it go. It’s not about anybody else. It’s just a mistake, something you’ve done. Whether correct or not, it was a mistake; let it go. It’s not worth dwelling on it.
The second is, you have to realize that if you wish to be happy, you have to work at it. You have to work on it because it doesn’t happen haphazardly. Happiness is an art that you design and the person that you wish to become, benefits from that art. It’s all about you. It’s not something that happens by itself, and you can, at any given time, be better than you were just a moment ago. You can do that. You always have to be happy with what you’ve got, and in pursuing these different opportunities or dreams in your life. Be careful about the person that you become. You have to become a person of value. Comes of age, you’ll regret it if you are not a person of principle and value. (more…)

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a walk with a young boy. He was 10 years old. As we were walking, he was just looking at the flowers, enjoying the stroll, not paying attention to any details.
You know, this is what life is all about, enjoying the way things have been created.
Did you know that for close to 6,000 years, the seasons have been coming and going, and there’s always been a change. There is the spring, and then the summer, and then fall, and then comes the winter. That cycle has been the same for thousands of years; imagine that. And it seems that even though at times, we feel that there’s an endless winter, spring appears, and so it is with life. (more…)

It is incredible, the power of a mirror. If you were to look at yourself intensely in a mirror, what would you see? Is It a sad face? A person who has been hurt and has struggled but not succeeded? Someone who cries and feels as though they have not gotten everything they wished? Or is it someone who feels desperate and cannot move forward?
If that’s what you see, then I invite you to go back in front of that mirror and look intently at yourself. Think of who you could be; what you’ve got, and everything that is within your power. Animals don’t have this opportunity to understand who they are and neither does vegetation or inanimate matters. We, human being, we can. It is all within our power.
What is the difference between a person who cannot see themselves as great as they are, and the one who believes that this is the end of it and that they can’t change? (more…)

Growth is such a beautiful word. What it means, is that there’s a change, there’s an expansion.
How do we experience growth in our lives? How can I change? How can I become a better person or a greater person? What can I do?
There’s so many things that I’ve done in my life, does it matter? Of course, it does. You are not only deserving a better life, but everyone around you deserves to have you become better. Do you know that if you change in the person that you are, everything around you will change? Now, you don’t have to change the circumstances in your life but you can affect them. You don’t have to change the things that you have no control over, like the seasons, the storms, the rains, or even the traffic; it’s not in your control. Everything that’s outside of you, is not what you want to change. You want to change what’s inside, and you can become the person that you wish to become. You can let the past be bygones and create a new present, so you can affect your future. (more…)

Attitude is such an important component of happiness. It is the very basis by which your future will be designed and developed. Attitude is how you feel about the person that you are and the actions that you engender in your life.
You’re affected by attitude: attitude of others and your own attitude. What you know, the things that you’ve accomplished, and perhaps, the things that you would like to do. Attitudes can be directed towards positive or towards negative. When you discipline your life, when you decide that your attitude should be beneficial, not just to you but to everyone around you, you are at that moment determining the direction that you will face and the direction that you will head towards.

Progress is such an important word. It means growth, moving forward. You always have to move forward.
You know, life expects us to do certain things properly. But it expects us to be productive. What it does, is that it wants us to make a quantitative or a perceptive progress in a way that what happens, develops over a period of time. (more…)

“Why do I love you?” is a question many people ask when we speak to our parents, to our spouse, to our friend, to a colleague, a child, or an acquaintance, or even the Creator of the world.
Have you thought about the question, why does G-d, the Creator of the world, love us,?
Obviously, he created us in an image which has a purpose; but why does He love us? (more…)

When I landed in one of the destinations I visited, on my way out from the airplane, I thanked the pilot. He was standing there and I walked right up to him and I said: “Thank you for such a wonderful and pleasant journey.” He seemed so pleased.
It’s interesting. How many of us thank the pilots of our lives when we’re given such a pleasant ride and we arrive at our destination safe and sound? Do we understand, remember, sometimes even agree, that this deserves a “thank you”? (more…)

The quest for a better life is a difficult concept but if you think about it, everyone is looking for a better life. Everyone is looking for happiness. It is often said however, that the process of change in life begins, unfortunately, with things that are difficult. Once a person “hits” a wall or is desperate in a situation that is somewhat difficult, it’s at that time that they start looking for a better life.
Sometimes, our circumstances are such that things become out of control and we don’t know what to do. We even want to give up. Because of our lives, seemed to be filled with questions that cannot be answered. Desperation comes in and we find ways at that moment to look for a better life and we find it. Quite interesting.

“What we do with what we have says so much about us”.
Did you know that? It’s interesting.
It actually reveals our own philosophy about our life, our attitude and what we know, what we think, and the makeup of our character, and the person that we truly are. It’s a reflection of our thoughts, and our value of systems. This is the way we do things and the way we see those things. (more…)
