Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 45 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I came into work this morning and there was a man standing outside the elevator. As I approached the elevator, he smiled at me and said, "How is your day today? Are you having a great day?" And I said, "Yes." As we got into the elevator, this wonderful man smiled at me. All excited, he said, "Isn't it great to be alive? Isn't it nice just to be here and have things to do?" I was so impressed by that. He kept a smile on his face the whole time, and not only that he kept a good attitude. It was even more so is that he seemed that he was going somewhere. He had a uniform on with the name of a company that he was working for and it was obvious that he had a duty or task to perform. He didn't mind work and certainly didn't have an issue with the day. He didn't seem like a salesman or someone that was asking for anything; just a person who was pleased just being alive, having a job, and being thankful. Often, you meet people like th

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 44 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but you should never forget to remember the things that made you glad. Now, you should always remember to forget friends that proved to be untrue or not the real friends, but you should never forget to remember those that have stuck by you, especially when you needed them. Always remember to forget the troubles that have passed away, but never forget to remember the blessings that come each day. These are special words, to always remember and forget the important things in life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 43 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever been around people who believe that reprimanding is something which is not only absolute in their life but necessary? They believe unequivocally that admonishing, censoring, or rebuking others is of utmost importance. It's easy to catch a person when they're doing something wrong. The true secret of a good life, a good education, or genuine love is to catch them when they're doing something right. It is at that time that you can speak to them about what they're doing by lifting them up; helping them see themselves greater than they are. The difference between school and life is an important concept. You see, in school, we are taught a lesson then we're given a test. In life however, it works differently. We are given a test which teaches us a lesson. Sometimes, people go through these lessons and have a hard time overcoming them. This is what you have to help them with; all of us. The truth is, everything that irrit

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 42 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever heard the word inadequate? A word which means deficient or faulty, incompetent, perhaps even incomplete, skimpy, unequal, or weak. This word is definitely not something that describes any human being, yet sometimes, for whatever reason, people call others inadequate. Are you inadequate? Do you feel inadequate? Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Often, we ask ourselves, who am I to be? Brilliant or gorgeous, talented, or even fabulous? Ask yourself the question, actually: who are you not to be? Who is to say that you are inadequate? Who can measure that? And what scale are they using to measure that? Inadequate is only relative to what the person sees, not what you can do. Inadequate is only according to the person who judges you, not according to your talents, not according to your powers

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 41 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a famous parable about a child who saw a caterpillar. When the caterpillar was there on the branch, it was struggling to get out of its cocoon. So the boy, being a young child, took pity on the caterpillar and cut open the cocoon to allow the caterpillar out. When the caterpillar turned out to be a butterfly, it couldn't fly. You see, although the boy thought he was doing the caterpillar a favor, in reality, he was crippling it. The caterpillar needed to struggle out of its own cocoon in order to develop the right muscles to be able to fly later and be a free, beautiful butterfly. This parable is so important to understand because the same is true with people in life. If we truly want to accomplish something which we have to struggle and work for, and we expect to grow without working or struggling, we are just crippling ourselves and even the abilities to grow in all aspects of life. The struggle is part of the growth,

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 40 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Who are we? It has been said that everything we see, either good or not, is really a reflection of ourselves. If it wasn’t – then we would simply not see it. The good that we see has a message. Is it possible, however, that this phenomenon is part of the Creator’s merciful way of teaching us a lesson in life? Most of us have a difficult time hearing from others anything said about our flaws. So the Creator, in His infinite kindness, set up a way that we may have a confrontation with the person who exhibits that same exact flaw in some form or another. We then see it ourselves when we say, “Goodness, how terrible is that!” But then it dawns on us that we actually exhibit the same behaviors through, perhaps, a different form. It’s interesting that this is also the same when it is truthful, positive things as well. We recognize the positive characteristics in others because we also have it in ourselves. If we didn’t have it, we woul

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 39 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A person develops good character traits by doing a good deed multiple times. For example, giving one person a thousand gold coins influences the giver less than giving a single gold coins to a thousand individuals. A one-time donation awakens the soul with great inspiration for a good deed but then dissipates. With repetition, the trait of benevolence becomes embedded in the giver for many years.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 38 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Did you know that before a person is born the intellect, the strength, and the appearance that they may have for their life, and even the future mate that they will marry, are all predetermined? Only one thing is not predetermined, and that is the moral decision that is left to that person. Everything is in the hands of Heaven, except the fear of Heaven. You have that choice every day, to be a good person or the opposite… Why not make the right choice? And change the world to be a better place for everyone. For your sake and the sake of humanity.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 36 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever wondered why we are given two ears but only one mouth? This is interesting. Perhaps a suggestion to answer why we have two ears and just one mouth is perhaps as a reminder that it behooves us to listen at least “twice as much as we speak.” When someone comes to you for advice or perhaps would like to get some recognition, or even a friend to speak with; do you listen with the intent of answering the question? What is the purpose for that? Why are you listening? Is there a reason for that? You don't listen with the intent to reply; you need to listen with the intent to understand. This way you can help that person. The truth is, no matter how busy a person may be, if they really care they will always find time for another person. It's just the truth. It's a fact. Now interestingly enough, you can help them be better, feel better. There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and helping lifting peopl

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 35 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Always be patient. Patience is a virtue and is acquired through years and years of assiduous work. Once you reach that level you will realize patience is an amazing, incredible character trait everyone should have. Patience is good. It’s long lasting, it’s helpful, and healthy.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 34 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There’s a fundamental principal that the mind, which by its innate nature, rules over the heart. You must subdue the heart to the will of the Creator by utilizing intellectualization, comprehension, and a profound contemplation for the greatness of the Creator of the world.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 33 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond One of the greatest values in life is to help someone else. One of the greatest thrills in life is to give the opportunity to invest life into life. Each day we have the opportunity to go and touch someone else. We also have the opportunity to persuade someone to find their skills, and help them refine those skills to see themselves achieve their greatest potentials. That is the greatest value in life; helping someone else see themselves greater than they are. Let them believe it, so they can grow. They will not only become your best friend, they will be indebted to you for life! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 32 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is not the place that honors a man, but the man actually who can honor the place. In other words, we’re not defined by our own circumstances. It’s what we do with our circumstances that defines us. What you do wherever you are, will actually create an atmosphere. You have to decide at all time what would you like that environment to be? How would you like to elevate the place where you are and make it a great environment? This is all up to you. It has nothing to do with place. It has to do with you. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 31 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A wise man once said, “For every question there’s an answer. For every answer, there’s yet another question.” As we journey through our life we should remember that every time we internalize a higher form of energy, and we also realize another still higher form which often eludes us, it is, the ladder that we climb, in our own days, in our own life. There is a story told of a child who was playing on a ladder with other children. It seemed that all the children climbed halfway to the top… But, one of the boys climbed all the way to the top. Later when he was asked the question, “Why is it that you were able to climb to the top when all your friends gave up?” The boy answered, “Here is the difference. I never looked down – I just kept looking up, and when I saw how low I was, it motivated me to climb even higher.” This is a question of setting goals. Realize the difference between human beings and animals. Typically, animals walk on

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 30 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Human beings have a remarkable power, that with their thoughts or speech they can actually control and change the world. Speaking about another person’s shortcoming does more than just belittle that person, words have the power to bring dormant energy into actuality. When we speak about a person’s negative traits it actually activates those traits and reinforces them. As a result, that person’s behavior takes a turn for the worse – and now they’re left having to overcome these challenges. Conversely, when we speak positively about the good traits of another person, we can reveal and reinforce those traits at an exponential level. We have the power with positive, or negative words, to influence each and every individual person. It’s a gift. Use it properly. Use it wisely. Use it in a conscientious manner. You must know that at every moment, you are affecting the world. Make the decision to bring up the world in a positive manner,

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 29 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is said the whole sun is reflected in a drop of water. So, it is with the human race, which is reflected in each individual. What is true of the human race as a whole, is true of each individual. The source of this vitality and indestructibility is in the pure faith of the one G-d above. Not in some kind of an abstract deity hidden somewhere in the Heaven’s spheres who watches this world from a distance… But, an absolute unequivocal faith in a very personal G-d who is the very life and existence of everybody. Who permeates where one is, or what one does. Where there is such faith, there is no room for fear or anxiety. Now of course, the road is not free from obstacles and obstructions, and in the divine order of things we are however expected to attain the goal by effort. If we make a determined effort, then success is divinely assured. The obstacles and obstructions, which at first loom large will dissolve and disappear. This is

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 28 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond How can one body have two opinions? Is it possible that your feet are ready to go, but that your mind says, “Later”? Is it possible that my body wants to go and do things, and be involved; but my mind says, “Not now”? Even if you don’t feel like it, shouldn’t you do it? You have to learn how to turn frustration into fascination. If you want to do things and you want to accomplish more than you have, then your mind and your body have to be synchronized. Only then can you affect the world, starting with your own. Then everyone around you will benefit. Get your mind and your body together - and make it happen, because you deserve not only to succeed, but you deserve all of it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 27 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond We must never be intimidated by the world. Neither by the world outside us, nor the world of personal desires, fears, or even preconceived notions within us. Once you answer the call that there is an ultimate Creator, then you are no longer bound by the limits of your own capabilities. You realize that the “ever higher” realization of a divine purpose are unlimited. Why not be there all the time? Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 26 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It has often been said that what wisdom can’t do, time will do. In other words, with the passage of time there will be change. It’s interesting to know that there are different levels to the person that we are, in our bodies. On top sits the head, where the intelligence resides in our brain. In the middle is our heart, where the emotions live. The lower third, is where our legs are, where the action, and the places that we go to. Now the mind, on top, is open to change, at any given time. The heart, in the middle, however, looks for something external to be around. Our legs will go wherever our mind orders to go to. The purpose of our life is to unite the three levels into total harmony and go to places and do things and think of things that are all good for the betterment of the world. To spread goodness and kindness, to make this world a dwelling place for G-d, a place where humans can interact, love one another, and transform the

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 25 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Oftentimes people ask the same question, what is the difference between trust and faith? When you have confidence that everything will work out for the best -that’s not faith- that’s trust. Faith is something you may or may not have. That is faith. Trust is something that you do. Trust is the belief that you can do what you wish and accomplish, regardless of the circumstances. Things may be falling apart around you, and all you have is your belief that you can conquer it. That is trust. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast? If so, why not help us spread the goodness by posting a review on iTunes and sharing your favorite episode.
