Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 579 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I recently received an email from one of the listeners and asked, “Why are you doing these podcasts, Dr. Dahan? What is the benefit of that?” Well, let me just say, first of all, there are thousands of people who listen to them and obviously, there has to be some benefit to that. But there’s another reason for this and that is that sometimes, a person, and in this case myself, have things that they can share with others, and if people want to listen to them, then it’s a benefit. I’m not necessarily saying that this is a talent or an obligation, or even a gift but obviously, the fact that I produced them and they are very popular, it’s a great advantage to many people.
Once Hugh Downs said, “A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.” It’s true.
You see, often, we have the ability to compare people in the same exact circumstances one can be happy or not, and to know just how true the statement is, the comment that Hugh Downs made, no matter what our negativity or mental habits has been up until now, the things that we’ve cultivated, the thoughts and the behaviors that promote feelings of happier days on a daily basis, that’s something that we choose at any given time. I choose to make these podcasts with my free will. That’s why they’re free. As a matter of fact, this podcast is not something that I’ve been thinking about for years. It’s something which I started because of the lectures that I’ve given and people ask questions. When I answer those questions, they seem to like the answers and it occurred to me that there must be a reason why I’m able to share that information.
You see, when you notice yourself heading down the tired old path to misery, at any time you wish, you can stop and take an idea, specifically, the idea to make podcasts and you can head towards happiness instead. That’s up to you. In all these hundreds of podcasts which I created so far, we only spread goodness, kindness, and talk about happiness. It’s a happiness makeover, a concept of how to make yourself better without changing the whole world but more so about yourself – things that you have, and sometimes, it’s in the face of adversity that you decide to change things. You see, life is not the passing of time. Life is a collection of experiences, their intensity and their frequency, and in life, the greatest value is not what you get but rather what you become, and it’s not what happens that determines the major part of your future because what happens happens to everybody. It is what you do about it. Life is an opportunity mixed with difficulty. Now, if you want things to become better, I’m not suggesting that you have to listen to these podcasts but if these podcasts or some of them, be it a few or more have helped you, share them with others. Let them listen, let them benefit, let the whole world become better and help one another because that’s what life is all about: making this place a better place than it was when we first got here.
