Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 127 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought of a willow? A willow is a tree – or sometimes referred to as a shrub. It is characterized by narrow, nice shaped leaves and some of them are very small flowers. They are pliable and the branches often are used for wicker work. The willow is humble, it bends whenever it needs to. It accommodates whenever it has to. It is proud; but not arrogant. It is noble; but not subservient. It is polite; but not insolent. It is unpretending; but not rude. It is loving; but not shameful. The humble willow is a special species, characterized by its goodness. This is the way a human being should be, and should emulate the humble willow: always being giving, helping, and loving everything – for no reason other than the fact that it’s the right thing to do. This is what I wish for you – to be called a humble willow, and live such a life of goodness and humility without ever having to apologize for something you did which is n

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 126 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The world as we see it is not a reality. It’s a miracle. When a philosopher sees a miracle, he looks for a natural explanation; trying to figure it out and trying to understand it. But when a wise person sees nature, they look for the miracle. That in itself is a true miracle. We have the ability, as human beings, to transform our world. We can make it so that it is happy and always giving and always transcending. One can look always at the bright side - at the good side. We can look always at the part which is positive. Transformation means the ability to transcend the world and always be above and beyond. You can do that – anyone can do it. It may be challenging at times and may have obstacles to overcome, but it is doable. This is true transformation and by you changing your world you will also transform the whole world – and everyone around you can follow you. Why not start? Why not give it a chance and change the world f

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 125 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought about the definition of happiness? Happiness is a magic word and everyone is in search of it - but so few find it. Why? Is it because you think that you are looking for happiness in a false direction? According to one famous French writer who said: Even the man who is going out looking to hang himself is looking for happiness. Only, he is searching for it in a false direction. I’d like to relate with you a story about an Emperor who had everything that his heart desired. But despite all his possessions, he fell into deep sadness. He called all his physicians and he requested from them that they should find a cure- but nothing helped. He became so angry that he ordered that all his physicians be hung. At the last moment, when they were taken to the gallows, one of the servants begged the Emperor for one short day to stave off the execution. This is what he said to him: “There is a wise man who lives on t

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 124 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What is a happy man? It is to wake up every morning with a brightening smile on your face, and to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities that it will bring. To thank the Creator for the wonderful day that you’re given ahead and the abilities and opportunities that you will meet. To go and work with a good and sane mind, with integrity and honesty. The ultimate purpose to which you are working is to enlighten the world, with goodness and with greatness. To meet other people throughout the day with laughter, and joy, and great peace with the words that you utter and the things that you do. When the night comes, to be satisfied with all your actions. This is the day of a happy man. Now, is your day a happy day? Ask yourself that question. If not, why not change it? Why not take the steps and turn your world around? You can’t change what’s outside, but you can certainly change what’s inside. It’s in your full control

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 123 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Before the universe came into existence, the Creator’s infinite Light filled all that there was. In order to make room for the world to be created, the Creator, in His infinite wisdom, withheld some of His light and it left behind a vacuum. When the Creator created light, He entered the vacuum and everything except the Creator, was actually shattered, and it scattered sparks of divine light throughout the universe. Those sparks became trapped in physical shells – the animate and the inanimate. These are the objects that make up our world. Now you see, the world yearns to return to its original light. But it still wants to remain a physical world. This ongoing tension that lies between the two is the root of the world’s biggest troubles. It is the duty of all human beings to find and awaken the door to the sparks of light which is enveloped in every single part of the world and in every human being. This will restore harmony to

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 122 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Here’s an important concept that you need to know about the world: By doing good deeds you affect the whole world. Not just because of what you’re doing, but because the whole world is connected. If you want to be the right person and you want to do things properly, you have to realize that within “you” lies a G-dly spark. It’s inherent in every aspect of modern day reality. The entire universe is interconnected and every deed, good or bad, can have cosmic repercussions. A person should try and be the ultimate that they can be. You have to live with a heightened sense of individual responsibility. You must be aware at all times that the ripple effect of your actions will continuously grow. Now, don’t just start thinking about meditation or who you are. What matters most is your actions. What you’re doing today can change the world. That’s what you need to do. Change the world by doing good deeds. This will lead to the universa

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 121 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I would like to share with you a fascinating concept. Love can be expressed in various ways. Either by speech, a look, a kiss, or an embrace. The highest form of the four is the embrace. You see, the embrace displays a love so strong as to be uncommunicable by any other means. Its unique feature is so particular that one wise man wrote this: “When embracing the person on all sides, including from behind, it does not allow him to depart from oneself.” Imagine that. This is so true. All other expressions of love are directed only to the person’s front, but the embrace itself encompasses the entire body, including the back. Another point to consider is that the other types of love are limited only to the reception received and they will continue only if the love is reciprocated. But if the proffered love is not returned, then it quickly evaporates. Not so with the embrace. When one does not allow him to depart from oneself, it is

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 120 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Every single night when a person goes to sleep, they think the reason is so that their body can rest. The truth is, there's so much more to the reason why sleeping was made part of our life. The way the world was created was so that each and every moment of life can be used in the most appropriate and productive way possible. So, what would be the purpose of the night? A sleeping person does not do much; they're lying there, quiet, often not even moving. The only thing they are doing, it seems, is breathing. But, what happens during that time is the soul, we are told, goes back up to Heaven and replenishes its energy. It draws from the tremendous Infinite Light that the Creator has to share and it gives it hope, understanding, belief, and a tremendous amount of rejuvenated ambition. This invigorated strength allows the soul to come back down the next day and do so much more than it did the day before. Nights are necessary. As a mat

Achievement – Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast You know how sometimes you find yourself in a difficult situation? And the difficulty seems to be impossible to overcome? You have to think of those moments of being ready, and that you are the achiever. Achievement means overcoming any obstacle successfully. There are two major benefits of positive reinforcement. First, it builds very good habits. The person that you are today, is built on that. Second, it creates the energy to fuel additional achievements. When you’re ready, you can do these other things, then you can do more each time because when you rest to renew your reserves, it’s much different in resting to avoid your day. You want to take from the day – not get through the day. Each day brings more value and opportunities. Take this information and create more direction for you and for all those around you. It is true that sometimes it is difficult, and we see the challenges being so large – bigger than us or stronger than us that we feel des

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 118 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Is life about success? Accumulation of goods? Great wealth? Tremendous amounts of acquisitions? No, it can’t be that... That just wouldn’t be the way the Creator of the world intended to create this world. Life is about becoming – not getting – but becoming. You have to be careful and often use all your mind in your pursuit of getting – of what you’re becoming – that is very important. That is the major question that you need to ask: Not, “What happens?” but, “Who am I becoming?” In the pursuit of what you want, what good is an opportunity if you’re not prepared to take care of it? It’s not good. There are rules that you need to learn. Life is so precious and is always given to one person for one reason: to make this world a better place. Then your mission, your duty, your task is to be very careful how you use your talents, skills, strength, and energy. Becoming is growing with confidence and greatness. Getting is temporary – beco

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 117 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Self-preparation is an important concept. It’s about you being ready to do all that you’re supposed to do. You carefully have to consider where the next opportunity can come from. You have to make sure that the origin of this opportunity is indeed good, and good for you. Make sure that you know how and what you need, to be prepared for these opportunities. Do all that you can do for each opportunity, because it’s more likely to happen without you knowing it’s going to happen. You need to be self-prepared. Self-prepared means being able to tackle the challenges of life and being able to handle the winters and difficulties when they appear. Self-preparation means overcoming these challenges and knowing that you can succeed. Because you have been given, not only the power, but the ability to overcome every single obstacle and the reason is, it is your purpose for being born. Now you can do it, so go ahead and do it!

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 116 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What is a mission? If you think about it, it’s any important task or duty that is assigned. Sometimes self-imposed, sometimes given from someone else. A mission is an important goal, or purpose, that is accompanied by strong conviction, calling, or even a vocation. It has been sent for someone’s duty or purpose. Ambition is what you have at hand- it’s what you’re created for. What is your mission, and how do you plan your mission in this world? What rules? What conditions? What aspect of your mission are you fulfilling today? Every day is an opportunity to take your mission and fulfil it to the best of your abilities and possibilities. This is possible for you. Nothing can stop you. Nothing! With a mission comes a sender and the One who sent you for this mission knows that the reason why you were sent on this mission is one reason and one reason only: that you can do it! You can do it with conviction and certainty. You c

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 115 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Are you connected? Connected to yourself? Connected to your soul? Connected to your heart? Every day when you wake up you have the opportunity to change the world for the better. When you wake up and you look at yourself in the mirror, do you feel connected to your soul, and does your soul feel connected to you? Your breathing, your movements, everything about you is connected to a Higher Source. If you don’t know the Higher Source, or you don’t know where it is, then you are not connected. You need to find that connection, you need to look for it. No matter what it takes, no matter how much effort, energy or time you need to continuously look until you find this connection. Because once you are connected you never have to let go. Being connected to someone you love; being connected to something you enjoy, is good – but it’s temporary. Connected to your soul, however, that’s eternal. That’s endless. It’s infinity. And it’s w

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 114 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you realize how long it took for you to be prepared to come to this world? It seems between thirty-nine to forty weeks, which is about nine months. But what about before then? What did it take? And where were you? For you to be ready to come down on earth and to fulfill your purpose, how long did it take you to get ready? Are you prepared today, for the challenges of this life? Are you prepared for what you were destined to be? To make the world a better place. To do all that you can, and be all that you can be. Be prepared on a daily basis, to give; to share; to constantly strive to be better; stronger with higher values. You can do it: this is what you were prepared for. Now get it done, and do it well. Because the world deserves you, and it deserves that you make it better. That is your purpose in this world, to be prepared to take it to a higher level continuously. I wish that for you all the time! Did you enjoy the motivati

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 113 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I once visited a country where women were sitting on the ground spinning threads for the yarn that was used to weave sheets. These sheets came from certain animals, and in order to produce wool of exceptional quality, it required a special skill. It's interesting that these women understood that the fact that they were endowed with a special skill, it then indicated to them that they were meant to utilize those skills to do some exceptional work. Think about this for a second, those among us who have been blessed with special talents or skills, or have received some unexpected divine gift such as, for instance, a disproportionately high return on an investment or a transaction, or anything else for that matter that puts us above and beyond, all of us should understand that the purpose of this gift is not that we should use it for selfish purposes. To the contrary, we should use it to construct the home where we are, and construct

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 112 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is an interesting concept about a field which needs to receive the benefit of the rain. Rain benefits only the plowed fields and fields that had been sown. Early and later heavy rains also benefit the crops of the field or even the vines, but a raised field and plowed, and sown, will benefit from neither the soft rain nor the early or even the later heavy rains. The same is also with blessings. A blessing must have a hold in something. When you give a blessing to someone, the recipient of that blessing must be able to hold on to that blessing. They must want the blessing and they must be able to hold the blessing that you're giving them in a way that their mind, their body, they're soul accepts. You can't change people, that's impossible. But, they can change themselves. Now you can help other people see themselves greater than they are; it's a value and it's a noble thing to do, but you can't change them. When you bless some

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 111 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Until recently, astronomers thought that there were 100 sextillion stars, but now, according to a new study, there may be three times that, as many as 300 sextillion stars. Now, how did the scientists manage to overlook so many stars? It's not like misplacing some grains of sand. Here’s how it happened; scientists looked at our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its spiral in shape, and they assume that all galaxies had the same ratio of red dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the most common kind of stars and they're similar to our own. But, a third of the galaxies are elliptical, not spiral. Elliptical galaxies have more red dwarf stars than predicted, 10 or even 20 times more. Now, here's where the numbers get mind-boggling. Scientists estimate that there are 100 billion to a trillion galaxies in the universe. Each scientist thought there were 100 billion stars until they discovered all those red dwarfs which were hiding in the ellipticals, and

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 110 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought about the difference between taking versus giving? When you take, there’s something that you have acquired from somebody else and it benefits, more often, you than the other person. Giving, on the other hand, benefits both people. The one giving and the one receiving. What a pleasurable thing to do! Success is an accomplishment and an understanding of the power of an entire human life. Human life is all about giving – not taking. It is all about sharing and having the ability to enjoy everything that exists in this world with someone else. Success is responding to an invitation to grow. To move up to a better place. By giving another, you help that person move up with you. That is the philosophy of the giver. Helping others see themselves greater than they are by giving without any conditions and without any restrictions. Giving for the sake of others, irrespective of what you’ve got, and what your needs are.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 109 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Success is a basic process. To be successful you don’t need to do extraordinary things. You just have to do simple things extraordinarily well. That’s the basics of life. Basics are the most important concept that you need to live with. The basics of love, sharing, understanding, and everything are the fundamentals with which we are raised. Your parents’ values - the things you learn about the world. There is a Creator above and beyond that gives us all our basic needs. That’s true success and it is something that we cannot even comprehend or imagine about the basic values or fundamentals that we have been taught. We know who we are, but often we forget where we come from. You must remember that and use it for our best interest, because this will keep us alive, healthy, and successful. That’s true success. It’s a basic process indeed. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast? If so, why not help us spread the goodness by posti

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 108 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Interests are such a valuable concept. The curiosity of a particularly attentive issue that you put your mind to. Follow your interests with your heart, follow your interests with your mind; follow them because they are your future, and a pathway by which you live. The interests that you have is what gets you involved in the world. The quality in which you share and what your concerns are - follow these interests. Follow them with a passion. By looking at your interests and following them you will have a fulfilled life and have deserved it. Interests are of great value. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?
