Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 376 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Today, I wanted to share with you about the seven emotions that we live by. One is called Kindness. The other one is Strength. The third is Beauty. The fourth is Victory. The fifth is Splendor. The sixth is Foundation, and the seventh is called Kingship. Now, these emotions make up the whole emotive person as we see it today, as we live within us, as it is in our world. The way the world was created, is that G-d in His Infinite wisdom, has created us with two parts as we know it: one which has to do with the world of the intellect and the other one which has to do with the world of understanding from the part of emotions. These three parts that make up the intellect are wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. The emotions, however, the ones I have just listed, are the ones that we work through and how we react towards one another. I have written in another podcast about taking each one of them, for one week and interacting them wit

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 375 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I would like to share with you a concept about how to improve your emotional health, and here's a suggestion: there are seven emotions that we know. If you were to take one emotion per day, that would be seven in one week; and if you were to take seven weeks, seven times seven would be 49. So that means that you could take every single emotion and on a daily basis, over the next several weeks, you would interchange them and combine them so as to transform yourself to be better. Now, this will improve your personal growth and character development; although it may seem like a formidable task to take on, these 49 steps will help you dissect and evaluate your emotional DNA day by day, and you can actually experience a real change. Now, although these changes will be small at the beginning, they will improve. You see, these 49-steps journey and all its mystical poetry are accessible day by day. This will be a daily practical exercis

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 374 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond In life, every single day and in every person's life, one has the opportunity to do either good or not good. It's our choice. There is a concept about helping others, but there's also a concept about hurting others. The truth is, sincerity is not a test; sincerity is an action, something that you design, something that you see, that you can do. You can accumulate regret or equity; depending on what you do in life, it's going to make a difference. Matters of the heart, however, are delicate and sometimes we do things when we hurt others willingly. We know that. You know when you've hurt someone because of the things that you said, the things that you've done, the actions that you've committed in front of them or about them, or through them. Why cause any harm? Why cause other people to suffer? What makes you the person who can do that? That's your choice. You have the opportunity at any given time, if you want to, to do good. Know

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 373 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Would you like to know the source and the truth about genuine happiness? I'll tell you what it is. It's recognizing that preciousness of a child; recognizing that a child has no attitude other than being positive; recognizing that they have a passion for fun and goodness, that their capabilities are unlimited, that they can dream anywhere and at any time; that they have a passion for what is good and what is fun at all times; that they believe that they they're strong and that they can do anything; that they're always enthusiastic and they demand with authority and without a doubt that all their wishes come true. They have a vision, they have dreams, and on occasions, every challenge that they see, they overcome with truth and direction, success, diligence. They're dynamic, they're different. They're graceful, they're trustworthy. That's what a child is. By remembering these skills, these opportunities and all of these words, t

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 372 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever been around people who are grouchy? It is interesting, tiring and certainly challenging way to live. Here's a concept that you might want to think about first before calling them "grouchy". We really don't know how people live. We don't know what people's experiences are. You may say, regardless of how you live, why do you have to be grouchy? Why do you have to act that way? That is true, but some people, for whatever reason with something of their own, that is for sure, is the way they want to be. They want to be negative and they thrive on being negative. They're just grouchy; just the way they act, the way they talk, the way they think, everything around them is grouchy. Here's my recommendation to you; to try to change them may be very difficult; to try to uplift them may be even impossible. So if you've done your best, just to stay away from them. These people want to live that kind of life, and if you can't

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 371 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You wake up in the morning at times and feel like there are so many things you have to do and you're not sure you can accomplish them all. Now, your actions do determine the type of day that you're going to have. However, what do actions do? Let me help you. Perhaps draw a picture of what the world could be and things that you should look at and even concentrate on. Think of the clouds up that we see in the heavens as if they were to represent your deeds; just like physical clouds that are generated from the waters which are absorbed upwards into the atmosphere. The things that you do in this world and the things that you go through actually make up clouds. If they are good deeds, it will turn into a "good" cloud which later will serve as water where it is needed. Although it may seem like a cloud at first, but think about that. Now, in order for a rainbow to appear, to create a rainbow, you have to have clouds. Did you know t

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 370 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I met someone recently who sat down with me and told me how overwhelming their life was. They felt that they weren't in consonant with their mission, with what they had to do. It's interesting. Each and every one of us has a mission. That mission is distinct for all people. The way to look at it, is that we should be happily married to that mission. And sometimes we feel, or some of us feel, that we've been mismatched and in such a case. We decide we want to abandon this. Just like in a marriage, "I'm not really happy and this is not what I want," therefore, the people decide that they want to get separated, divorced. Now, often, however, in the case, it is not the problem with the mission but with ourselves. Perhaps, I may suggest, it's the fact that we are not willing to summon or bring out the effort that are required to continue over a certain mission. It's either our inflated ego which is deceiving us into thinking that we

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 369 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought of what happens when you fall asleep? Well, there are several stages according to science of what sleep is and the stages go into reactionary levels, as it gets closer into dawn, then your sleep becomes much deeper. But what happens during sleep? What do you do? Well, it says that your mind, your soul goes up to heaven and it gets reenergized, and during that time, a person dreams. Now, the dreams that you have may or may not seem real but it's interesting that the way you wake up in the morning and the way you interpret what you thought about or what you dreamt about is actually what will happen to that dream if it comes to fruition. It's hard to say that every single dream that you've had will come to fruition. But some of them will, and so those dreams that will come to fruition will become the product of your own interpretation. So here's some advice: if someone tells you they had a dream, no matter wh

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 368 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond All of us at one point in time in our lives, and more for some than others, experience difficulties and challenges. Those are tests. We are tested when we witness divine favor. We assume, since no good is coming to me, that means that “I'm not worth it” or “I'm a bad person”, or more so than anything else, “I'm not worthy of goodness.” This is not true. It is so far removed from the truth. When the Creator's presence is hidden in these situations, when things are difficult and challenging, you're not sure where to go, and when you don't know what to do, it simply means that the Creator, G-d Almighty, wishes to grace you with a closer, more intense relationship with Him. That's what he wants you to recognize. He wants you to know that He is right there by you, but in order to preserve your faith in G-d, in the Creator, in the face of such situations, this is when He tests your faith, your belief. At that time, you have to draw f

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 367 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond According to scientists, the bumble bee is too heavy and its wings span too small. From an aerodynamics point of view, the bumble bee cannot fly. But the bumble bee, you see, doesn’t know that. And it keeps on flying as though it has absolutely no understanding of it. It just keeps doing what it wants to do, and that is to fly freely everywhere at any given time using all of its energy. Now when you don’t know your limitations, you go out and surprise yourself. In hindsight actually, you wonder if you even had any limitations. The only limitations a person has are those that are self-imposed. Those are the limitations that hold us back from doing what we want to do, going where we want to go or need to go, and reaching goals that we’ve set for ourselves. Those limitations are there because of us, not because of the project, or the intent, or the concept, but because of us. Don’t let anything put limitations on you. Don’t even l

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 365 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is interesting that the Bible describes humankind in four different terms. It says in describing the unique qualities of the humankind there are four terms that are used. One says, “it's the quality of the mind and the intellect”; it is a certain type of person. Another one is that “the quality of the heart and the emotion”. The third kind, is “the weakness on either the intellect or the emotion or both”. The fourth kind is the person who “overcomes the inner weakness or remove the obstacles and hindrances to the attainment of some kind of intellectual or emotional quality”. Each and every one of these unique qualities of different humans are present in all of us. Each one of us try, at any given time, to enhance or make better what was in our life. We don't know how much there is and sometimes, we don't know how much we can do but one thing is for sure: we've all been given the opportunities to overcome these emotions. Humank

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 364 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Many times, we have spoken in these lessons about the fact that we have two parts to ourselves, to each human being. A part which is a good part, that helps us do the good things and the things that are necessary to make us a better person and help this world around us. The other is an animalistic part. One that makes us do things not in the most appropriate manner. But can often drive us to do things which are even inappropriate. If we really want to affect the person that you are and certainly our individual traits—if we’d like to eliminate some of the things that we need to have better than what we have since the day we were born, one concept is to try to get rid of the conceit within ourselves. Conceit is so powerful. How can we get rid of it? How do we go about doing that? There’s really only one way if you think about that. There’s something which is causing that sense of self-importance, and what we have to do is to tea

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 363 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond This is something we have spoken about before, but I believe strongly in the understanding and the belief in yourself. I know for a fact—and this is something which I’ve always believed in—that each and every human being has the power to do whatever they wish. With the forces of nature, the goodness of the ultimate worlds, and with the help of G-d, anyone can do what they want. But you have to ask yourself, “Do I still believe I can do this? Am I able to?” The most important ingredient of success is belief in yourself and what you’re striving towards. There’s nothing more important than that. The highest ambitions are nothing if think about it without the conviction that you can actually reach them. It’s just an ambition, but you have to believe that. You have to know that. You need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, is your passion and drive matching up with your aspirations? That’s a very important question. The

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 362 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever asked a question and thought about the concept of what you’re doing and what you want to do? What is your game plan, this is a question to ask many times throughout your year, throughout your life. While you are challenging yourself, you should also map out some strategies that will allow you to become more efficient and precise at what you’re doing. If you’re trying to work faster and better, you need to develop routines and processes that will allow you to do so. You need to sit down and create a physical map and a plan that will take you through all of these concepts and get you to where you are trying to go to at a certain time. This is what it’s all about. Now of course you need to leave room in there for detours that could happen because you could end up taking some short cuts. This is what happens when you learn and you go. But you have to have a game plan. You can’t just wake up in the morning and say, “Okay,

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 361 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever asked the question, “What do all creations in our world have in common? Which part of existence is so essential that the world can't live without it? Do you know? If we remove the color blue from the world, what would happen? What is the one thing that the world has to have in order to exist?” It's an interesting question, isn't it? Let me suggest that 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 time. There are two primary ingredients in the element of limitation in our world: there's time and there's place. There is nothing in our world that can say it experiences yesterday and tomorrow as exactly the same, or that north and south are equivalent. That can never be said, it is not possible. This is because limitation is part of the definition and m

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 360 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Life is about the accumulation of many experiences. Some which could be fun and pleasant, and others which may seem challenging and difficult. Now at times, especially in our professional life, but certainly in our life in general, we make mistakes. The most important question is not so much, why did this mistake happen and what it is that I have done to cause that mistake? But are you learning from that mistake? Am I learning from each and every mistake that has happened? See most patterns of success typically includes plenty of failures. That’s just the way things are. That is completely normal and even healthy. However, the important thing is that you’re learning and you are rarely making the same mistake twice. You don’t want to repeat the mistakes. You want to learn from it and move on. When you hit a roadblock, take the time to evaluate what went wrong, what needs to change, and how you can prevent it from happening in t

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 359 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Professionally, you should ask yourself on a regular basis if what you’re doing is what you should be doing. You should ask yourself, “Am I in the right niche?” If you don’t have passion for what you do in the way that you’re doing it, you won’t be motivated to overcome the natural barriers and the obstacles often that life puts in the way of success. Even if you started out with passion by the bucket full, it can fade away. At one point in time it may not be there. It is so important to routinely check with yourself, and your motivation, “Am I in the right niche?” If you feel like your passion, your ambitions, your drive is waning, and you’re burning out then you may want to change. You may find something so that it is necessary to reignite the energy for the business that you’re doing. Finding a niche and something which sustains you emotionally will give you the clear mind and the passionate drive that you need to succeed. T

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 358 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond My father, bless his soul, passed away many years ago, but I still remember many of the lessons that he taught me while he was still alive. One such lesson was when he once came to visit me. He asked me, “Son, what are you doing these days?” I answered, “Well, I’m working hard and, thank G-d, family is growing. Things are doing so much better, and have improved a lot of things in the business.” He looked at me and asked me the same question again. “Now but what are you doing these days?” I was somewhat puzzled, and I gave the same answer. And one more time, he asked me again, “What are you doing these days?” I said, “But father, I just answered that question.” He said, “No. I’m not asking you what you’re doing about the money that you’re making. That is none of your doing. That G-d blesses you with that money. You just have to be a vessel for that. I’m asking you what are you doing? What about the good deeds, which are who

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 357 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is an analogy used of a person who lives in the city with a king over that county. The wanting or willingness to visit the king is not so simple, because the king is sitting in his palace and is not easily accessible to everyone. After all, he’s the king. But sometimes the king takes the time to go out and meet the people. When the king is in the field, it is easy for everyone to approach and to present him with a petition or whatever it is that we needed. Often the king receives everyone with grace, and even offers them to fulfill their requests. There are times in the calendar of our days, our lives, when the King of the universe grants us this opportunity to speak with Him privately, one-on-one. Where He says, “What can I do for you? How can I help you?” These are special times, and we need to use this opportunity to win over not only the kindness of the King, but also with our deeds and all of our good functions to ask fo
