Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. Today's episode was edited an adapted from Week-day Religion by James Russell Miller, published in 1880

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Life is very critical. Any word may be our last. Any farewell, even amid glee and merriment, may be forever. If this truth were but burned into our consciousness, if it ruled as a deep conviction, and had real power in our lives, would it not give a new meaning to all our human relationships?

Would it not make us far more tender than we sometime are? Would it not oftentimes put a rein upon our rash and impetuous speech? Would we carry in our hearts the miserable suspicions and jealousies that now so often embitter the fountains of our loves? Would we be so impatient of the faults of others?

Listen to episode 1010 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Magic Voice Within You | Creative Power. Edited and adapted from Working With God by Gardner Hunting.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: As Emerson says in that very essay, the creative urge within you is stirring for expression. And that very urge — in the man or woman who pays attention to it — is the source of achievement, and fortune, and fame, and usefulness (and the only source), because it is the voice of the Spirit offering guidance, just as much and just as truly as conscience (rebuking our mistakes) is the same voice dealing with another theme.

Listen to episode 1009 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Your Fears. Edited and adapted from “Thoughts Are Things” by Prentice Mulford.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You can cultivate courage and increase it at every minute and hour of the day. You can have the satisfaction of knowing that in everything you do, you have accomplished two things -- namely, the doing of the thing itself and (by the manner of its doing), adding eternally to yourself another atom of the quality of courage.

You can do this by the cultivation of deliberation — deliberation of speech, of walk, of writing, of eating — deliberation in everything.....

Listen to episode 1007 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Using the Law of Attraction. Adapted from The Creative Mind & Success by Ernest Holmes.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In the presence of some people, we feel as though nothing were too great to undertake. We are uplifted. We are inspired to do great things, to accomplish. We feel strong, steady, sure. What a power we feel in the presence of big souls, strong and noble men and women!

Did you ever stop to inquire why it is that such persons have this kind of an effect over you, while others seem to depress, to drag you down, and in their presence you feel as though life were a heavy load to carry?

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from Working with God by Gardner Hunting.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It ought to be easy for me to give to God. To give Him my troubles, for instance; to give Him the responsibility for the result of my efforts; to give Him the care of my interests; to put my fortunes into His hands; to entrust Him with my health, and with my hopes.

But I find it hard to leave to God the responsibility of paying me for the work I do. I am afraid, perhaps, that somebody else besides God is going to have a good deal to say about the pay I get for what I do.

Listen to episode 1006 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Law that Governs the World. Adapted from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “Compensation.”

Inspirational Living Podcast: Nature hates monopolies, and exceptions. The waves of the sea do not more speedily seek a level from their loftiest tossing, than the varieties of a condition tend to equalize themselves. There is always some leveling circumstance that puts down the overbearing, the strong, the rich, the fortunate, substantially on the same ground with all others.
