Dr. Dahan's Daily Wisdom - Motivational Podcast

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 168 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Haven't you always been told, “be yourself.” Sometimes you wonder what that means. I may have a suggestion. Being yourself means being truthful. Don't say anything unless you know it is true in your heart. Always be alert. Know that a minute is way too precious to waste and time must be used properly. Be diligent. Decide what needs to be done and do it with enthusiasm and joy. Be respectful and honor every person you meet and although this person may or may not be a friend of yours, they are also human beings, so honor them and respect them. Being yourself means having a peace of mind. Be calm and be composed and let it show in everything that you do. Be gentle. Know that, when wise men speak, they speak gently. You can develop this habit and you will find yourself being heard by many people around you. Be patient. Whatever happens, even though it may seem unpleasant at first, accept it with a calm demeanor and patience. Kno

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 167 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You may ask yourself under certain circumstances, “why me?” “Why do I struggle?” “Why do I have to look like this?” “Why do I have to be this way?” “Why do these things happen to me?” “Why are things so difficult and so challenging?” “Why am I never able to do something?” “Why, at times, do I fail?” “Why? And why me?” The answer to all of these questions is because you have been chosen to do everything in the ultimate way that you can. You have been given the power within yourself to surge and stay above and beyond any challenge. You have been given this opportunity because you have been given the tools, the wisdom, the action and the power to overcome it. Don’t ask the question, "why me?” be glad that it’s you and say, "I can do it." By doing it you can overcome anything at any time. Don’t believe for one second that you can’t do it. The minute you believe that, that’s when everything stops. So go ahead, do those things

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 166 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond In this world, there is nothing greater than being able to appreciate someone that you’re with. There is nothing greater in this world to appreciate than such as nature, scenery, and everything else that you do. How would you do that? Wherever you are, be there. Whatever you do, be there. If you are at a show with friends or just alone be there at all times— not just part of you, all of you. By being there you will not miss anything in this life. You will be able to overcome any challenge. You will be able to understand and construct in your mind a plan for everything that you have to do. You will be able to succeed. You will be able to rise. You will be able to overcome. Nothing will stand in your way. You will see clearly, not just past the future, but also past your experiences. You will see and understand what you need to know and what you need to do. Be there. Always be there to gain understanding. Always be there to catch

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 165 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Sometimes, you may feel things piling up in your life, in your mind, and around you, and it becomes simply overwhelming. An overwhelming amount of information, duties, and tasks that you have to go through and you are not too sure if you are capable of accomplishing them. When things seem to be overwhelming, why not take a minute and think about what your life is all about. You have been given a mission, and this mission is doable. Otherwise, if the Maker of this world were to give you something which was impossible, what would be the purpose? What would be the intent? It is not a game; life is serious; life is good; life is truthful. More than anything else life is a series of accomplishments; actions which we can pile one upon another to get them all done. When you feel the sense of being overwhelmed, and things are above and beyond what you think you can accomplish, sit down, relax, look at the issues and analyze them. Break

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 164 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Distress or uneasiness of the mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune is the definition of anxiety. Why would you be anxious? Within every love there is fear. Anxiety is the fear that you could lose that love. It could also come from the fact that there is a fear of not getting what you wish or what you want. Is anxiety truly necessary? What purpose does it serve? Think about it, if you are in charge of your world then you have within yourself the power, energy, and the capacity to change everything around you. If only you put your will to it. Will compared to anxiety is very powerful. Anxiety may cause you to feel at times exhausted or even become despondent. Why would you go in that direction? Why let anxiety take over your life? You have the will; so make that change! Use the opportunities in front of you and change the world for the better. If you take every one of those concepts and analyze them, you will see that you can

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 163 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Good friends are hard to come by; when you find them, be careful to keep them close to your heart. Be careful how you react to some of the things that they say. A good friend is someone that irrespective of what you do, will always be there for you. A good friend is always there.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 162 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Did you know that the heavens above are a clear unprecedented mirror of the earth below? Everything that you do affects everything else in this world. Whatever you see up in heaven is a mirror of what is down on Earth. You may ask the question “How could that be?” You don’t see it that way and it does not appear to be correct so how could it be? I will tell you. Everything that we do affects everything around us. Every action, speech, and thought has its own particular strength and energy that you create which is mirrored up in Heaven. Therefore, when you do think or say something that is good, productive, respectful, kind, with integrity, honesty, or diligence, that comes from your heart and is meant to do good, the Heavens then act as a mirror. From the Heavens comes the exact same goodness. Just as much as you are spreading and showering this goodness around yourself, so the heavens reply to you. If you smile to yourself in

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 161 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond People have often asked me, "How do you get a ‘guiding light’ in the right portion?” A guiding light is like a coach or a mentor. It's an important mission, and of course, you will no doubt meet several of those people in the course of your life. It's critical to you and your future to choose them wisely. A mentor, for instance, is someone to whom you commit a great deal of time and attention, and who, ideally, will take a very focused interest in you as well. That's what he'll do, and he or she will be able to help you overcome any challenge. The process of finding your “guiding light”, it begins first of all with a clear-sighted view of what your life's goals are and what you should be, both from a career and personal life; not just something that you take lightly but something that you think through. If you're starting, for instance, as an associate in a job, you might want to choose the person who's the most qualified in tha

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 160 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you walk around thinking that G-d is angry with you? Or are you believing that you have done so many negative things that at this point there’s almost no hope? After all, why shouldn’t He be angry with you or even abandon you? You know you have done things that He doesn’t like. In fact, you don’t even think about Him many times. So, why should He care about you? Those are deluded dreams at the core of your consciousness. In every single person, there is a spark of G-dliness. It is awake and it is are waiting for you to react and understand. At no point in time are you alone and by yourself. G-d is never angry at you. From above, He pours an insurmountable and infinite amount of love. Love that never subsides nor changes, regardless of what you do, what you think, what you say, and how you act. It’s there. What blocks the entry to that love? What stops all of this beautiful showering of goodness? Only those “deluded dreams

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 159 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond At times, we are confronted with opportunities to engage in some mundane act. It does not necessarily mean that the Creator wants us to take that opportunity and run with it. Even if it appears that we mainly do so for some holy purpose. It could very well be that in the whole grand scheme of things, in this beautiful universe of ours, this opportunity may have presented us with something that we need to walk away from. This could be even harmful to us. We must therefore assess every new situation carefully. Naturally we can be partial to a distorted conclusion. We have to be so careful about that. In order to remain unbiased, you have to detach yourself from the evaluation process and you have to be very careful on how you make that decision or what your next move is going to be for any of these opportunities. The inner essence of our intellect and emotions must always remain aloof from the material possible concepts. We have to k

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 158 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Many people, including myself, have questions at times about life and what it brings and what it's supposed to be. We often also ask the question, "If there is a Creator of the world, where is He? What does He do? How come I can't see His face? And if so, why can't He speak with me?" The truth is, no one has seen, per se, G-d and lived, at least not that we know of. Because to see what is above and beyond is then no longer human; it is divine. There are things we see in life by looking directly at them and there are things we see with our eyes closed; we imagine them. We see them because we can feel them. There are things that we hold onto by grasping them and there are things that we hold onto by letting go. That's just how things are in the world. It's just a perception. Creative people know that when they let go, that is when the creative aspect, the creativity in their mind starts flowing. An artist knows that. When they try

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 157 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There's a saying that says you have to distance yourself from a bad neighbor and you should not cling to a wicked person. On the surface, it appears that somehow, it's redundant; stay away from bad people. In truth, however, there's a much deeper lesson in these words. In fact, a close examination of these words yields an altogether different sentiment. What is the difference between a “bad neighbor” and a “wicked person” and why must one go so far as to distance oneself from the former while concerning the latter? It is enough to avoid just clinging to him? A bad neighbor means just that. It's not a bad person, but one whose proximity to yourself is detrimental to you. It may be that, that person is a righteous person, a good person, a sweet person, a kind person, and that his path in life is, for him, most suitable and desirable, but it is, for you, totally different, and it is wrong and destructive. For you, that's not what y

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 574 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You have to ask yourself at all times wherever you are in your life, if you are a positive influence? In other words, when you walk to a place, do you light up the place or do you actually make a difference? Being a positive influence is something that can affect the world at all times. It means that when you go somewhere, you become a lamplighter - you bring joy, goodness, and kindness, and support, and you actually brighten up the environment where you're at. It's not a talent, it's not a gift, and it's not an opportunity; it's a desire to be the best that you can be. It's something which is a need “in” every person but it's something they have to cultivate. So you always have to ask yourself, am I a positive influence on the world and do I generate goodness and bring about more light, or do I actually take away the light? It's often said that darkness is not a concept of its own. Darkness is strictly the absence of light. Do y

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 155 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond At times, we are somewhat confused or dismayed by what the future is offering us. We’re not sure where to go, what to do, how to respond, how to act, or even how to make a decision that will be beneficial, not just for us, but for everyone around us. There is a way to do this. We are all capable of correcting our errors of the past. There is often a great value making sure this happens. How? Very simple, it’s called the “outside voice”. When someone is confused or somewhat lost, turn to someone else. Someone who can provide you an objective appraisal of who you are and what you are doing and if it’s proper or not. The potential impact that it can have on your thoughts and your action can change your future. An objective appraisal from someone whose opinion you can respect-someone other than yourself. This will enable you to change things, and see things in a way that you have not seen them before. In our own personal world, we

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 154 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You and I make up the whole world. I love the fact that you and I can be together at any given time and make this world a better place to be. Every time I am with you I realize how important you are to me. These are words that we say to anyone that we love, words that we repeat and words that we think about. Why not share these moments with someone that you appreciate? You can do it now, I strongly suggest it. 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.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 153 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever taken the time and listened to the wind blowing outside your window? It’s quite impressive and at times it’s really a beautiful thing. It may feel shivering but it is quite an experience. There are many winds in life and we have all experienced the different types of winds: the wind of disappointment, wind of despair, wind of heartbreak, even wind of success, or wind of goodness. If this is the case for the winds, why would each of us in our own individual ship of life, all begin at the same point with the same intended destination in mind, but arrive at different places at the end of our journey? After all, have we not sailed all of us upon the same sea? Have we not all been blown by the same winds of circumstances? By the same turbulent storms of discontent? Or stories of success? Yes, we have! What guides us to different destinations in life is determined by the way we choose how to set our own sail. The way that e

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 152 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond As we blend the ‘new’ and the ‘old’ the result is either the strengthening of our past, (the things that we’ve done, the things that we believe in, things that have happened), or perhaps the broadening of our current situations looking into the future. Mixing the two is often a mistake. What is in the past needs to be filed away. What is to be considered is the future. But before you can even consider the future you have to think of the present. Indeed, tomorrow is today’s action. Why not consider your future and your present together and forget the past? The ‘old’ and the ‘new’ can be mixed. Our beliefs have led us to make certain decisions about what is valuable to us as human beings, though as the days went by, at times we made mistakes. If you could change that, would it be worth it? Absolutely. You can do that today and forget about the old and just deal with the new. By making this conclusion you will make specific valuable j

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 151 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Isn't it interesting to know that there are people at times who are given sound advice but they don't want to follow it? They say, "This isn't for me. This doesn't suit me well. I'm not interested to listen." Take, for instance, a layman in areas, such as medical science. As a patient, for example, he may well have his doubts about the efficacy of the drug that was prescribed by his physician. Will he refuse to take it until he has been able to attend medical classes or even learn all that his doctor learned in his lifetime, studies and experience? Will he not rely on the authority of the medical specialist? If he has doubts about the expertise of one doctor, can he obtain a second opinion or maybe a third? But when all agree that he needs to take that medicine and the prescribed medical regimen, would he refuse to take that expert advice even if he still has strong doubts about it? So here is the question, why would that person

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 150 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What does a person do when they hear painful news? News that hurt you, possibly that might even make you cry? You see, it's not alright to cry for yourself for things that happened to you, but it's okay to cry for another person. That's what tears are for. They were given by the Creator of the world for anyone to use for others, for the pain that you feel “for them”. That might also affect you but it's really truly for them. Otherwise, that's a waste of tears. So, what do you do when you hear painful news about another, especially something that could be hurtful or to a certain extent, dangerous? What would you do with that news? I'll tell you what you do. First and foremost, pray. Pray to the Creator of the world that this news be temporary. Second, have Faith. Faith begins where actual intelligence stops. Third, have Trust. Trust in the belief that this pain is temporary; it won't last and you have the power to change it. F

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 149 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Many people have a hard time or find it challenging or difficult to associate with or even live among others. Now, I ask you the question, why would that be an issue? Why can't you be part of the whole world and be happy where you are? That doesn't mean that the world dictates what you're going to do or certainly guide you into the directions that they wish. You have the choice to do whatever you wish, and it is a given gift from Heaven and the Creator of the world, that each and every human being in this world, the only life on Earth which has 100% unadulterated option on every single decision, and it's called free will. But you have to remain loyal to who you are. By remaining loyal to yourself, there is a part of you there that is always in touch with your soul. There is a place in you that is absolutely wholesome, pure, and untarnished; and that's yourself. That's you; that's who you are, that's your inner being, that's the c
