Self-development concepts have been discussed for centuries all around the globe. Although each country has “established” cultures, they all share a common denominator of values. The values presented in this podcast, are meant to remind the listener that ideals and beliefs contribute to shaping each individual’s personal character. This in turn influences the person’s ethics and attitude.

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 from a deeper level of commitment than you had up until now. This is when you must pass the test.
Once you pass the test, you realize it was a temporary test. It was just something that was given to you as a challenge so you could rise higher than where you were before.
Now, you might ask the question, "Why the test? Why you make it so difficult? If He is G-d and He loves me, why doesn't He just give it to me?"
Well, the truth is, He does but in order to deserve more, you have to become more. Life is not about how much you accumulate, how much money you make, how many toys you buy; life is about the person that you become and how you helped this world become a better place to be better so that everyone around you can become better physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially and in every aspect. And whatever it is that was given to you, any strength or powers, or abilities, or talents, those are gifts, tools, skills. They were given to you for you to use and make this world a better place.
Now, you might ask, "If this is the case, how come sometimes I don't see results even though I do so much?"
Life is not about results either; it's about your faith. Believe in it and you'll see. If you look deep, you'll see how grateful you should be for what you've got and everything that you continuously get.

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 let your knowledge or your thoughts put limitations on you. Be like the bumble bee. It cannot fly. From an aerodynamic standpoint, it just doesn’t have what it takes. And this is scientifically proven, but it doesn’t pay attention to that.
So you can overcome any limitations at any time, if you want to. If you’re really, truly focused, you can do whatever you wish even though science says you can’t. And I strongly suggest that you do that to get where you want to get at the point that you think is appropriate without any limitations or any type of obstacles. Overcome them all. Overcome them first in your thoughts, then in your speech by expressing it, and then with your actions to do what you wish at any given time.

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. Humankind as it is known, can do whatever it wants to. You can control your emotions. You can direct your heart. You can instruct and teach your intellect. You can overcome any weakness or hindrances at any given time.
Knowing that you have the strength, the first key component to succeed is that you must identify yourself as one of those four qualities of humankind.
Which one are you?
If you associate yourself with one of those, you'll be able to better understand the power that you're given and the work that you have to do to become better. The key, as a human being in life today, is to find out what your weaknesses are and not focus on the weaknesses but focus on your strengths. You need to know your weaknesses so you can focus on your strengths.
In other words, don't focus on the negativity. Don't think too much about the things that you can't do. The things that you can do, the things that you're good at, what people know you as, take those and make them shine. Make them better, bigger, stronger, wiser. Share it with everyone. Whatever your qualities, you know what they are. Don't focus so much on the things that you cannot improve or that you have a hard time fighting. Focus on the things that you can make better. You will see it overshadow all the other things and you'll improve all together to become a better human being.

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 teach and explain to ourselves that there is no real reason to feel self-importance.
If you’ve been given a lot of money, and are for whatever reason a rich person, then you must know that the Creator of the world gave it to you for a specific purpose and that is to give charity to help others. That is the only reason.
If self-importance originates in this case in possessing a good mind, then think about why you were given this great mind. If you do it right, if you use it right, if you use it properly, then think of how much you can do with it. If you learn something and you learn it right, think of how much you can accomplish.
Conceit is not a good trait. It’s not something to have, it’s not something to believe in and it’s not even something that you should ever aspire to.
Conceit keeps everyone away from you and sets you apart by telling everyone else that you are better or greater than them. It doesn’t bring you anything, and it doesn’t bring anyone else anything. It just keeps you aside by yourself like a hermit.
The whole idea is to share with everyone else everything and anything that you have. I know for a fact that what you’ve been given is nothing more than a gift. This gift needs to be shared at all times with everyone. And this is something you need to constantly work on.

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 skills and the know-how are less than half of the battle. But if you don’t believe you can do it, it will be very hard to convince anyone else you can. You have to be your own cheerleader before you can expect anyone else to be. This has to come from you. It has to start with you. It all starts with you and that’s what matters in life. Know who you are. Know your limitations. Know your strengths, and know that those limitations are only limitations in your mind and that you can overcome them. Know that other people with a lot less than you have and a lot less fortune than where you are have done so much more. This should give you an incentive to become better, to do more, to share, and to grow continuously. Don’t let anything be in your way. Limitations are only the limitations that you’re creating in your own mind. Change that, it’s not so difficult. The difference between north and south is a simple turn. And after today, you never have to be the same again, only by choice. I have said it many times in this podcast, but the reason why I’m repeating this is because not only do I believe in it, I’ve seen it myself. Not just for me but for many people around me. It’s truth, it’s a fact that is who we are. That’s the way the world was built and created. With the intent to give each and every human being, irrespective of where they are born or when they are born, the ability to overcome every obstacle at any given time. You need to ask yourself a question, “Do I still believe I can do this?” If the answer is yes, do it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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, what do I do now? And whatever happened then doesn’t matter.” No, you can’t do that. A game plan means having a vision and understanding what the future is going to bring. We need to borrow from the experiences of the past, formulate them in the visions of the future to use them in the present as an incentive to make it better today and make it possible for you. This is what life is all about, making it a difference, leaving a legacy. Whether it’s to yourself, to your spouse, to a better half, to family members, to your family, to colleagues, neighbors, citizens in your country, or to the whole world you need to make a difference and use your full potential. Your game plan is what helps you get there. With this game plan, you have the ability to whenever you wish to formulate and change it. If you see that the road that you’re taking is not quite the appropriate or successful one, or you find that perhaps it’s too difficult, you need to make a small detour. Do that, after all this is your plan. You write the road map, it is yours to change at any time that you wish. The strategies that you use, the concept that you develop, the ideas that you have—all of these are yours. If you don’t like them, tear up that page in your book and start a new one. If you don’t like that book, throw it away and start a new one. It’s all yours. You have the power and the freedom of choice. Use it wisely. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 makeup of both the world and its creations. Without limitation, without time and place, the world will cease to exist. Limitation and existence are interdependent.
Now, you might want to ask the question, "What about personal imitations, where do they come from?"
Things that are limited to you in your mind are your own imagination. There are things that you've come up with and you've conjured and things that you have made up in your own mind.
As a human being, you have the power to do whatever you want and exercise to the furthest extent of possibilities, anything that you want. It's all within your abilities. You have to know that it's not only possible, but that it is possible for you. Once you realize that, then you realize that limitations are all imaginary. If you want to become great, if you want to become rich, if you want to become healthy, sophisticated, unique, then it's all up to you.
You have the power to change anything you wish. You cannot change the outside like the weather, sunshine, the seeds, the oil, but you can change yourself. That's all given to you. Your personality, and the limitations that exist are all imaginary in your mind; so why not revise this and change who you are? Change everything about yourself. Change the person you are, change your life by changing yourself. This is something you deserve because after all, this is your world. So, why not make it the best that it can be? And you deserve it.

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 the future. Try to take a nugget of wisdom from each failure you encounter on your road to success. That’s all it is.
By not repeating that mistake, not only will it make it better for you, but you will also grow. You can now use this mistake as an experience and a spring board to become and make things better from here on out. It’s impossible to think that you’re going to go through life without making mistakes. Nobody can actually believe that, nobody does that. Everybody makes mistakes. The question is how do we resolve these mistakes and what do we do about it?
You need to continuously look at those mistakes, those concepts and learn from them. Now don’t dwell on them. Don’t spend too much time saying, “My goodness. Look what I have done wrong. Poor me.”
That is not what life is all about. Take the lesson from those mistakes, and learn from them, and resolve not to repeat them again. That’s what it is, an accumulation of experiences that will help you to spring yourself forward continuously. By doing so, you will benefit, and you will benefit the whole world around you.
Don’t dwell on the past, dwell in the present so that you can change the future. And only use the past experiences to help you do so without having to cry, or think that this is the end of the world. It’s not the end of the world. It was just a mistake. It was not good. That is true, and you shouldn’t have done it. That is also true. But now that it’s done, let it go and learn from your mistake.

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. This isn’t something that happens by itself. At any given time, it can fade away. You need to constantly ask yourself:
Am I making a difference?
Not, “How much money am I making in this job?” But, “Who am I becoming and what am I doing for the world?”
Now you may say, “Well, my job is rather simple. I just do administrative work. Things which are not that important and that I can not change.”
That’s not true, your job is very important. Whatever job you do can make a difference in the company. Even if what you’re saying is correct and that you are only answering the phone for the company, you’re a receptionist. Without your ability to answer the phone properly and directing the people to the right person everything falls apart. None of these professionals could function.
If you think about it, even what you may call a “small job”, like a receptionist, is the backbone and the fundamental concept at what makes that company successful.
Every job done honestly and with integrity is as important as the most important job that you can think of. A nurse in an operating room is just as important as the surgeon. They both serve a purpose and they are both needed and helping one another save the life of that patient. It is the same thing in every single profession.
Find yourself a niche. Something that you feel confident, that you like, that gives you not just a passion, but gives you an ambition. Nurture that, and that should keep you going at all times.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 325 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Life is all about “me.” Often people say things such as, “The world was created just for you.”
Now if that is true, then the question is what are you going to do about it? There are things that we need to be selfish about. Those things are particular to what it is that makes us different than others. But selfishness is not a good trait.
It is interesting when a person says, “Everything is all about me at the end of the day.” This is subjective to selfishness and conflicting interests. But if you pay attention to other people and the collective effort focused on being unselfish, it not only brings unity among people but it brings success in everything that you do.
Seeking selfishness, being selfish, or liking to be selfish does not get you anywhere. It just keeps you, yourself in your own world. “All about me” means that the world was created so that I, as an individual and human being, have the opportunity to make this place where I am today and wherever I go, a better place. It doesn’t give me the right to think just about myself.
To the contrary, it’s an opportunity for us to help everyone else.
Being selfish is not a good trait. It is a negative trait which can only bring you down and turn the concept of “all about me” to “just about me.” What you should be saying is, “The world is all about me so that I can make everyone else about themselves greater.”
That is a different look on the world. “It gives me this opportunity to make it not only better, but to shine with them, through them, to take the world to a better place.”
If you think about it, why would you want to live by yourself on an island? You would not even need a name because who would call for you? You would be by yourself. When you live with people, as most of us do in metropolitan areas and cities, we continuously interact with other people; especially given the advancements of technology today. Look how close that we can become with one another.
Why not make this world just that? Use the opportunities available for you to share, give, and tell everyone all the things that you know. Let others be better so that it’s not all about “me” anymore. It’s all about us and making this place a wonderful, wonderful place.

Inspiration: Above and Beyond – Day 356 What I am going to share with you today that may be difficult to accept. But I want you to know that this is a fact, the truth, and something which is real in all aspect of life. When you go through a challenge or a difficulty in life—and it may seem to you as a curse. But in reality, the way that it appears to you right now the reason for this difficulty, this challenge, this curse, this problem is actually divine. It is so great that to be revealed within our limited world and the way that we live, it must afford the disguise and look as a curse. Quite amazing. Now our challenge is to see in this perspective, rather than falling into the trap of becoming angry with what happened, with G-d, with nature, or the pain and negativity that exists in order to provide us with a free choice. Free choice in turn exists in order to enable us to earn the rewards of our own choices. You don’t need to feel unworthy of that blessing. To the contrary, this is coming to you because you have the ability to make that choice. When you recognize that the evil, difficulty, challenge, or the problem exist only to provide you with the free choice to reject it then your struggle becomes much easier. I hope you can understand this. I know because I myself have gone through it also as every human being in life. When we do face a challenge that seems to be so overwhelmingly huge, monumentally big, above and beyond us. We say, “How will I overcome this? And why did this happen to me?” No, don’t think that way. The greater the difficulty, the bigger the divine behind it. The divine, the concept, and the blessing, you have to understand that. You have to believe it and once you understand that, then you have the free choice. That free choice then gives you the opportunity to say, “I won’t let this happen to me, and I’m not going to let this overcome me. To the contrary, I will make it better. Fight it and win.” It’s at that moment that you succeed. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 355 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times in our lives when we are challenged to the point where our principles are being questioned and often put to the test. This is not so simple. We have within ourselves a constant battle. One which tries to push us to do the best that we can for good things. That is a holy part of our body, of our consciousness, of our being. The other tries to make us do things which are improper or in a way which is not beneficial to ourselves or to the rest of the world. This battle goes on continuously within ourselves. Now at times, often during the day as we meet other people, we also find ourselves being challenged certainly in a way where our own principles are being questioned. What do we do at that time? How do we overcome that? How do we resist this drive and overcome the possibility of doing things which is not proper? When we are confronted in the case of a challenge, we need to summon at that moment the recollection of our willingness to sacrifice everything for our principle. As well as the willingness itself. Our ability to assert our human nature, our good part, the person that we need to be, no matter how strong the powers of persuasion could be, the ridicule, or the compulsion that the opposite tries to throw at us, we need to overcome that and not let it take over us. Do not let it win at any given time. That is not so simple because sacrificing a principle may seem at times like the right thing to do. I can tell you that it is never right to sacrifice principles. Principles are the fundamentals of your life. It is the philosophy that holds you together physically, spiritually, professionally, and to a certain extent in a human way - The person that you are. If you ever take these principles and let them take over by another party which is less than what it should be or opposite of what it should be, then it could be the beginning of an end for you. Don’t let those principles ever change. These principles are who you are. That’s who you were raised as and that’s the person that you need to be and stay at all times throughout your life. Don’t worry if others mock you or call you names Don’t let that bother you. You know who you are and you know what you can do. Even greater, you know what you’re worth. Let that be a lesson for the rest of your life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 354 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever taken the time and stood by the ocean and looked at it? It’s quite incredible and impressive. A majestic look of above and beyond imagination. It’s hard to believe and is interesting that it is said that all that exists on dry land also exists in the ocean. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? The ocean is home to a vast diversity of minerals, plant life, and millions upon millions of living creatures. Can you imagine that? However, all that exists that we see at least on land, is readily discernable. But yet when we see this, and we’re told the ocean has all of it. We don’t see any of that. All we see is the vast universe. We’re told and that’s so besides the fact that it’s beneath the surface of the waters, and the waters conceal all of their existence. By standing there, you don’t see much. All you see is the water. But what’s underneath it is beyond an incredible universe. If it is as diverse as what’s on land for all the amazing, incredible, above and beyond understanding of life creatures, how vast is this world? How incredible the vast ocean and all the secrets that are within it. This is what you should see when you meet someone. Even though all you can possibly see is a person, what’s beneath that person is an incredible human being with potential, a heart, emotions, and feelings. If you give them the opportunity to express themselves you will find that this person has so much to give. They not only want to give it; they earn the ability to share it if you only give them the opportunity to express themselves. Not by impressing them of how great you are, but on how you can make them feel and see themselves greater than they are. By lifting them, you rise. By helping them see the beauty within themselves, they can share all of this. This is what you should see. Like the vast ocean, you may only see the water on the surface but it is full of millions of creatures within it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 353 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Often you meet people that speak about what the right way is to live and what the best thing to do is to become a person of value in this world and to make this world a better place to be, not just for us but for everyone around us? Truly there is one concept that stands above and beyond. There are three emotive concepts that we often speak about. One is the thought, one is the speech, and the other is the action. A thought is whereby we, as human being, have an idea. A place where a seed germinates and a certain concept develops. With this thought itself we develop ideas, concept, and many different things that will get us to move forward. Then there’s the speech. How we express what we thought about, what we developed, and what we aspire to. But really at the end is the action, and what matters most is the action. Action is what matters at all times, even though people say, “But I am a thinker and I can think so many good things.” But what does that help? Only you, and how do you know that these thoughts are good thoughts or important thoughts. Then the one who speaks, sure they help others by saying things. But people can say so many things and do something which is totally opposite. The action is what matters, that is what stays and what we see. That’s what we understand, that’s what makes a difference. The action is what will actually make it the way that it’s supposed to be. The thought and the speech are great, but are not as important, as great, or as dependent as the action. Everyone can depend on an action. If you think you should be kind to someone, or if you say that you’re kind to someone, it is nothing comparable to whenyou are truly kind and show kindness to that one person, that’s what makes a difference. The thought and the speech are yours. The action is what you share with everybody. That’s what matters. Make everything and anything around you be the final step though the actions that you perform. Everything needs to come down to an action once it become tangible. That’s what makes a difference in the world. That’s what will actually show that something has been done. Share it with everybody around you, and this will make it a much better place for each and every one of us at all time. Everyone will benefit, including you, the world, and all the generations to come for an amazing legacy that you will leave. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 315 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’ve read some statistics recently about some of the most famous people actually became successful very late in their years. Now, what is age?
Does age have anything to do with it? You see, age is just a number. That’s all it is. It’s not the determining factor of who you are, or what you do, or what you’ve done. It’s just a number.
Doing what you love is the only criteria that truly matters. If you’re inspired and motivated by a decision that you’ve made, keep on it. Keep up with it and stay alive, alert, awake, and enthusiastic about life. If you can wake up every morning and be thankful that you are breathing, it’s a strong indication that you’re alive, and not only that, that you are healthy.
The reality is that you are never too young or old to pursue your dreams or even deepest desires. You just have to say, “Yes.”
Yes to everything in life, and yes to who you want to be. How can you do that? It’s very simple, realize what you’ve been given, and realize your potential. Realize your strength, and understand the ambiguities are only created by the imagination of your mind. If you want to be successful, then go ahead and be successful.
You can be whatever you wish to be and you can do whatever you wish to do. The opportunities are a given to you at any given time. When you wake up in the morning, know that this is the beginning of that success that you will truly wish to have.
It helps also when you are passionate about something. It helps because passion gives you the driving ambition to make it even better. Now what are you passionate about? That I don’t know – only you would know that. But, if you wake up in the morning and you are not passionate about something, it becomes more difficult - at times, even impossible – to accomplish those things.
In this case, understand that we’re not talking about money. How much money can you get? How much money do you have? Money, of course, is an important component but it’s not the end result.
What matters is the life that you lead, irrespective of your age. Because the age is just a mark on a piece of paper that lets everybody know where you are, but not who you are.
Be the person that you want to be, and develop the greatest strengths within you that you see. Analyze your dreams and awaken your passion to the level where nothing can stop you. Then age will be nothing more than that mark on a piece of paper.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 352 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are people in our world who believe they should only be kind, or make friends with others who are extremely bright, talented, scholars, or people who are of just extreme importance.
It is good to learn and it is great to continuously grow in knowledge and have a broad sense of understanding of what the world is all about. In a profession, in areas of culture, and in every other aspect of life, this is great. However, the pursuit of such intelligence puts you in an introverted activity. That’s all it is.
It keeps you away from everybody else. Why become a hermit confined only to an elite circle of scholars; only to surround yourself with extremely intelligent people and only give them the opportunity to be around?
You should receive every person with a friendly face, even ones that can bring you absolutely no benefit. That person actually has a lot to offer. You should speak to people congenially with sweet and pleasing words. When you help others, you should do so with a pleasant demeanor. One who gives with his “face in the ground”, even if he gives all the gifts in the world, is considered as if he has not given anything at all.
Kindness is a virtue of utmost beauty; there’s nothing like it. It’s great to be wise, and certainly to become a scholar in whatever discipline, but to be kind is above and beyond any other emotive, concept, or action that you can apply to your life. Being kind means accepting everybody.
A friendly face means showing everyone the honor and the respect that they deserve, even though you may not think so, or actually they may not even deserve it. You should be above and beyond this. You should show them at all time a friendly face. It’ll make you better. It’ll make the place where you are so much better. It will make this world an exceptional place.
That is what the Creator did when he built the worlds. He did it out of kindness, and this is the gift he gave us. Use it wisely.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 351 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are many people in our world who feel that marching orders are given only for the military. “This isn’t for me to listen to, I am not part of an army. I don’t want to listen. I don’t want to do what I’m told to do whenever someone else tells me to do it. Marching orders are not for me. I don’t like it and I’m in charge of what I want to do.”
When each and every human being was created, it was for a specific purpose. That purpose has a mission, and that mission has a tremendous amount of available strength that it comes with to help you fulfill that mission.
This mission that you were given—each and every one of us actually since the creation of the world—is to fulfill the purpose of the world and to make a better place to be for each and every one of us at all times.
Everything that each and every one of us does at any given time affects other concepts, people, places, time, energy—everything. Everything affects everything else.
Having marching orders gives your life purpose. Walking before not only an entity, but G-d wholeheartedly in putting your hope into the Creator of the world makes you a different person. Don’t attempt to investigate the future by whatever it may be that comes upon you. Accept it.
Accept it wholeheartedly, and you’ll see that once you accept that—and I’m not saying that you have to fulfill all the commandments that you’re given. I’m not speaking about religion, I’m speaking about who you are, what you can do, your strength, and your ability to be part of this world.
Now you may not believe in G-d, but ask yourself: “Could the world run without a Supreme Being? Is it possible that all these amazing, incredible details of every single aspect of nature are just some things that happen haphazardly at all times without any direction?” That’s hard to believe.
If you believe, and if you have the ability to do things for yourself, and for the rest of the world, use those strengths, those energies, and make it so that it is always growing.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 349 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At a certain age in life we find ourselves satisfied with our own achievements. We look around and we say, “I’ve done well. I’m okay. I have done everything that I can.” The truth is: “Are yourself are you truly satisfied with your achievements? At least your past achievements until today?”
The fact is, you shouldn’t be. You should never be satisfied with your own past achievements. Now people may say, and even tell yourself, that if you’re never satisfied with your own achievements you will drive yourself crazy. Why is that?
Ignore these people, don’t listen to them. Look at what you’ve done, and if that was good, double it. Double is always better, stronger, higher, and much wiser. Don’t let what you’ve done be the final measure of who you are. Let that be only the beginning of what you can do, and all past achievements, don’t use them as an excuse to stop, but as an incentive to grow higher and better. Don’t let anything be your final step. Let it all be the beginning of great achievements, opportunities that are given to you, and strength that you can develop over time.
As we grow older, while we are given more and more to do, we are also given the strength, wisdom, and complete assistance to do what we have to do. Life on Earth is limited, it is not eternal. Eternal is not given to any human being. Eternal is given perhaps to other creations but not human beings. The set time that we have is for a specific reason, and I suggest that you use every single opportunity to make your world and the world around you such a beautiful place to be. Not just for your own accomplishments, but for the benefits of everyone else. Not at the expense of others, but at the service of others. This is what doubling your efforts will do. Double is always better. Everyone should do this at all times. Everywhere and in whatever we do every single moment.

The world assumes that one only tries to spring in, over one’s trouble when all else fails. That’s the only time they try. There is however another suggestion; that is to head straight for the highway. Not to let any of these things get in the way of you accomplishing your goals, finishing a task, or taking on whatever action you want to.
There is no need to wait. There’s no way to think, and at times there’s not even need to understand. If trouble comes your way or a challenge that you think is overwhelming, don’t think, go right into it, and get rid of it. Often you will find that the trouble, circumstance, challenge, difficulty, or whatever the issue is, is nothing more than an opportunity for you to become stronger, better, and wiser.
Why wait for it?
Why take a chance?
Why think that this problem will become now part of your life?
Use this as a springboard to take you to the next level; use this as an opportunity. It is said that there is no challenge that comes to you without the immediate strength, power, energy, knowledge, ability, and everything needed to overcome it. Now once you believe that, nothing will stop you. Why not do this? Head straight for the highway, don’t let it be in your way. Don’t let it bother you. Don’t let it stop you. You can do it!
Not only once or twice, but every single time a challenge occurs or something comes up. Once you’re equipped with that knowledge and this ability to understand it, put it into play not just as a thought, but as an action. Now you become invincible wherever you go in whatever you do. That is what I wish for you. For you to know that you can overcome challenges at all times.
So, go ahead and do it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 347 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Just recently, I was walking down the street and there was a restaurant on the corner. A man stepped out of that restaurant and in his hand he had a toothpick wrapped in cellophane. I saw him take out the toothpick from the cellophane wrapper and threw the wrapper on the ground, and kept on walking. I picked up the wrapper and put it in the garbage can.
It occurred to me, why did this man throw the wrapper on the ground? If this was his home, would he do that? Would he just throw it on the floor? I ask you the question, “If you are at home and you open up a drawer, do you push it back? If you open up a closet and you take something out of the cabinet, do you close the door? When you sit at the table and you pull a chair to sit down, as you walk away, do you push the chair back where it belongs?”
You should know, it does make a difference.
Somebody may say, "Oh, what is the difference? I mean, it's just a piece of cellophane, that's all it is. Why make such a big deal out of it?"
I'll tell you what makes a difference, it's the habit.
It's the habit that makes a difference, primarily for you because you are that person. It does make a small contribution by not leaving trash on the ground. But, what it does mostly is give you the incredible feeling of self-worth because you have good habits; and that's a great deal. Good habits of things that you do when things are supposed to be finished and finished by you. It is the same when you have a car that you've rented and returned it to the rental company all clean; or you leave a hotel room where you've been there for a short period of time and you straighten things up before leaving.
Good habits should be the way that you do things. It's the way that you live, and what it does, is that it makes you feel good about yourself and the person that you are. That's self-worth habits.
Everyone may say, "Why do it? What's the big deal about this?"
I got a good answer for that one. Why not? If it's so easy to do, why not do it? Why not contribute? Why not help everything and everyone live a unique lifestyle and make things better? It's those little things that add up to a big thing, and that's what it does. And if it makes you feel good about yourself, then it's all worth it.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation which seems to be for absolutely no reason whatsoever? For instance you’re driving on the freeway and you’re going from point A to point B, and you make a wrong turn. The initial thought is, “I made the wrong turn. I can’t believe I did this. Where am I going? This is not the right place.” or, you find yourself in a situation where you wonder, how did you get there? What happened? What is the purpose of that? There is nothing that happens haphazardly for absolutely no reason. Nothing at all. It’s impossible.
The reason for it is because the Creator of the world has made sure that everything in this world is calculated to an endless level. Everything has a purpose, everything has a good purpose to it. That is the reason why you are there.
When you find yourself in a situation where it seems perhaps that you got loss, or it just doesn’t feel that there is nothing or anything for you to do at all in that place, in that moment, think again. Look around you and find the reason for yourself. The reason typically is not hidden, it will be right there in front of you. If you open up your eyes and reassess the situation, it will clearly let you know what you’re there for.
This world was created so that each and every human being has an incredible amount of intelligence and kindness. Use this wisdom that we have. The abilities and everybody’s potential should be used to the greatest level at every moment in every situation to make this place better than it was when we first came.
Don’t complain why you’re there, or say “I shouldn’t be here.” or, “I don’t want to do this or that.” That is the reason why each individual person was created, to elevate and fix the world to be a beautiful garden that it is. That’s the reason. If you don’t at times see the reason, don’t blame the situation, or the soil, the seeds, or anything like this that you have around you. Only blame yourself because you have not looked at it properly.
Use this opportunity to develop and generate more positive energy wherever you are, and whenever it is. It’s not a question of a place or time; it’s the question of the actions that you will entertain, and the things that you will do to make this place a better world. We all deserve that because you can do it.

There are many pleasures in life that a person can enjoy at any given time. There are the pleasures of resting. The pleasures of going on a trip, on a vacation and visiting far flung locations. There is also the pleasure of being around people you enjoy. Family members and people that you love.
There is the pleasure at times of reading a good book. A pleasure of taking a shower and enjoying the fresh water. Pleasures sometimes of taking a walk in a forest and admiring the beauty of an unbelievable world that we’ve been given. There are so many pleasures in life. What is your pleasure in life? Where do you truly derive pleasure.
Pleasures in life—the real ones — are the simple ones. The ones that don’t cost any money, don’t take you very far, and don’t need a lot of “stuff” around. They are the best pleasures. They are free, they are there, and they are continuously in your heart. They’re the ones that leave a memory etched in your heart with a feeling of peace and serenity.
A pleasure—a true pleasure—in life are those moments that you enjoy things for no other reason than the fact that you’re there. You can call it grateful or thankful, but a pleasure in life is that moment that you know that what you’re doing is the right thing. That what you’re experiencing is better for the world. Not at the expense of the world, but at the service of others. That’s a true pleasure.
True pleasure is something that not only benefits you but benefits everyone around you. That’s what a pleasure is. Something that you will feel for many years to come and puts a smile on your face when you think about it. Without costing anything to anyone.
To me those true pleasures are the times that I look at my life knowing that I’ve lived a good life. I’ll tell you what a good life is: knowing that you’ve helped other people. I have just been told that my podcasts are heard by thousands, and thousands of people on a daily basis. That is a pleasure.
A true pleasure knowing that I’ve been able to create small, little chapters in people’s lives and help them see things better than they are, and make them feel good about it. That is a pleasure.
I hope you find such pleasures not only in this podcast collection, but in your own life and the things that you do because it’s all worth it and you deserve it all the time!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 344 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I want to share with you today a thought about a monumental responsibility that each and every person has in this world. A person is given only the exact number of days they need to accomplish the tasks in the world.
Which tasks? Those that were assigned to their life.
If a day is not used for its own purpose, the tasks for those days could be left undone. That’s a “monumental responsibility”.
There are two things to note about this. Firstly, wasted time never returns. Every individual is given a specific number of days and seconds to accomplish all that he’s charged with. When a day is misused, this loss is irreplaceable. Quite amazing if you think about that. Secondly, something that you need to remember is that the service, work, duties, and tasks of that day build upon each other.
Meaning that they raise tomorrow’s work to a higher level.
When a person has $100, they really wish they had $200, and when they have $200, they wish they have $300. People always want to do more, want to have more and want to reach higher levels. When a person does a task or establishes certain amount of responsibilities that they have fulfilled on that day, whatever it is that they did on that day, builds a momentum.
Then the next day is even higher than the previous day. It uses that previous day’s momentum or energy to build onto the following day. Days wasted means that now you don’t have the energy to build on. You’re just where you were yesterday just a day later.
Do you see how this monumental responsibility has an effect on every single moment? It’s interesting how people say sometimes, ‘I’ll be there in a few minutes.’ Or, ‘What’s a few minutes?’ Yet in one minute, our whole world could be changed.
You and I have the opportunity at every single moment in this world to make that difference. This monumental responsibility is something that is given to each and every individual being born. Every single person has the responsibility to take it seriously and make a change.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 343 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You know, it is interesting to look at the definition of the word marriage. Marriage is actually any of the diverse forms of interpersonal union, which is established in various parts of the world. This union forms a familial bond that is recognized legally, religiously, and even socially. It grants the participating partners mutual conjugal rights as well as responsibilities. A marriage is a challenge even with the best of circumstances. Even when two individuals share common and compatible heritage, culture, or value system they will have challenges regardless of the union. When these parameters diverge, the heritage, the culture, or the value systems—they come from a different direction or different destination, the challenges for a successful marriage drops to virtually nil. It makes no different whether the individuals in question feel attached to their heritage, or their culture, or not. These characteristics are largely hereditary and feelings that can be easily triggered by any number of circumstances, often leaving the person surprised by the depth and the force of his or her attachment to the people. It’s quite amazing. A person is so connected to where they come from and their heritage, that in a marriage, when things become challenging, they’re not sure they can stay together. So even an honest, rational person will not want to involve another person. Particularly another person towards whom they have feelings and affections and may not want to bring them into a relationship that can be questioned. Not to mention of course, the detrimental effect of inevitably such a marriage will have on children and the results from it. Marital happiness is so important to value, that we have to be very careful. To depend on it and to ensure that it works, is based on the heritage that we come from. The primary place to look for someone to marry is from your own background. Someone with whom you can truly have a union. This is so true. I know. I’ve been there. But this is the best way to do it, by finding that, your marriage will survive and will overcome any challenge at any given time. That is a guarantee forever.

Family is such a beautiful word.
What does it mean to you to have a family? Does it mean siblings spending time together, or visiting family members whom you haven't seen for a while? Does it mean sometimes taking the advice from your parents and listening to it carefully?
I have an idea to share with you what family is. Family is a gathering of loving people who care for one another, and look at each other at any given time with an eye of love and accepting. And at the same time, always remembering that the bond that exists between all of them is at the root of being the family.
Once you remember that you come from the same source and you actually are part of the same source, the family bond becomes undeniably strong and unequivocally tied to you.
When a tree grows, it has branches and the branches extend upward and outward. As those branches extend they often give life to trees of their own.
How? The tree itself grows into branches which give life to all kinds of leaves. These leaves then become the bearers of fruits, and these fruits have seeds in them which will give rise to other trees.
You see? It started as a trunk and ended as a parent to another tree. That's what family is. Family is the sharing of ideas and concepts, and all of the good things that we have to share with one another. Having a family means always being bonded to someone who cares for you and loves you.
It's not only what you get from the family, it's also what do you give and what you bring to the family members.
Sometimes, of course, some family members could be annoying, and we're not too sure that this is with whom we want to be at that moment, but that is just a moment in life. Look at the greater picture. Look at the wider angle in the vision of what the family brings. There are, unfortunately, people in this world who don't have families; their family have either passed away or gone away, or some of them, just don’t stay together. So, if you have a family, parents, siblings, and they're all together, even just through connections of the internet, consider yourself very lucky. Consider yourself extremely happy because that is a gift that you were given that not everyone has, so enjoy it to the fullest extent.

Although the world is made up of many different people, different religions, different locations where everyone lives, different ethnicity, all kinds of different people, even within the same country and the same location, even within the same home, many different people live under one roof.
There is one spark that we all share, one spark of unity, and that is the spark of happiness. Happiness is defined as something which makes you feel good. Yet, there is something greater than your happiness, and it's called joy. Joy is something that you feel not only for yourself but something that you also feel for others. Something that you can share with others.
A feeling of joy is a communal or at least a reciprocity between different people. The pleasure of helping another get what they need, the pleasure of always benefiting someone else, not at their expense but at their benefit. The joy of making sure that everyone has what they need.
I received a call this morning from an organization that was raising money for children who don't have clothes and often don't even have what to eat. I was touched by their message.
It read this way, "Please help all the children in the world have what to eat on a daily basis. This is the right thing to do."
The message was simple and I thought, what an idea. Organizations that help others feel, be, and have everything that they need, and even more than they have thought about. This is what life is all about. We're not here by ourselves and wanting to be everything that we need to be all for what we have. We are here to spread joy and light, and goodness to the rest of the world. Each and every human being has a very specific mission in this world. The mission is that we are always be in control of what we can give to others. Not that it will happen by itself; let us all share and give to one another.
That's what true joy is all about, and that's a spark that we all share among the world and all human beings, needing to make things better. There are so many new opportunities today to do this with the advent of technology and everything that it offers. It takes seconds to get on your phone or your computer and send a message to someone else, wherever they may be. Why don't you do that? Share the spark of goodness and joy, and watch the world change to become a better place than it's ever been before.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 338 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A rule that is taught by many great people and should be part of every single person’s life, is the habit to say little but do much. If you want to help another for instance, say little and do much. If you want to give charity, say little but give much. If you want to please another person, say little and do much. By saying little, you are not minimizing what your efforts are, you are keeping away from the information about what you’re going to do. This is the person with whom you have this relationship, or to whom you are helping, giving money, giving some knowledge, or sharing things that you have. By you saying little and doing much, you keep that away from them. Once they see the result of what you have done, they will see the accomplishments and magnitude of what you have done. They will be ecstatic about what you’ve continuously performed. It’s not always easy to do this because most people want to talk about it. They feel the pride, they feel at times even the arrogance to want to show off. Often that becomes a negative aspect, and takes away from the beauty of the deed. It takes away from the action. By saying little and doing much, people will recognize who you are and what you truly mean by your actions. Words are vain, they evaporate. But actions will stay. When you do something, people will see it. It’s not a question of doing, it so that other people see it. It’s the question of doing it because it’s the right thing to do. There will be a benefit to you, to the people around you, and to the whole world, the whole universe. Saying little gives you the ability to do as much as you want. Saying little gives you the opportunity to not only outdo what you were going to say, but also the level at which you’re going to do whatever it is that you are going to perform. Why not follow this advice? It’s great advice and it comes from no other place than the highest minds in this world. Say little and do much at all times wherever you are with whomever you may be, and you will see some great results. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

If you want to be successful in your life and if you want to succeed in growth, in understanding, knowledge, and changing your future, you need to fix time for what you do. For instance, in the concept of prayer. Prayers cannot just be said wherever, whenever, or however. Now, you do have the option to pray whenever you wish; but you should have a fixed time on a daily basis of when you want to pray and when you need to pray.
The one things to pray for are the things that will help you develop a relationship with the universe and you will get to where you want to be. However, the need to pray, the ambition that each human being has at any given time to have a part of the world, and to be part of the growth of the world, is to establish a relationship with the Creator.
You may say, “I don’t believe in the Creator, and I don’t want to pray.” Fine, if this is your feeling. But each and every one of us, in time of need, pray. You don’t want to pray out of desperation. You want to pray out of inspiration. You don’t want to wait until things are so terrible, difficult, and challenging that you’re now forced to pray and ask for what you need.
Why not pray on a regular basis? Pray for the goodness that you will receive and that you want to receive. Pray for the seasons to be on your side and pray for the guidance to be given to you and to show you where to go. Pray for the sunshine to be in your life. And pray for the good things at all time for each and every person who’s around you. Pray for good health. But all these prayers should be at a “fixed time”.
You may want to reserve at least a moment in the morning, in the afternoon, and a moment at night. This will cover all three aspects of your lives. The morning before you start the day, the middle of the day while involved in your work, and the evening before going to sleep. Fixed time in prayers gives you the ability to grow and always measure the level of where you are, during the moment when you ask or when you start thinking where you want to be.
A fixed time is necessary if you’re serious about prayers and if you’re serious about your life. It’s not an obligation to some people, but it is certainly a highly recommended concept that you should consider. Prayer is something that use to as develope a relationship with the creator of this world.
Whomever you may be, wherever you may be, a prayer is necessary so that you can establish that relationship; and keep it going at all times. This should be done at a “fixed time”.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 336 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It has often been said that when a person does not increase his knowledge, it actually decreases his abilities. The reason is that each of us is actually created to grow as much as possible in all aspects. That is from a spiritual standpoint, physical standpoint, emotional, or plainly from knowledge. Knowledge is something that you acquire on a daily basis. This can be through experiences that we’ve gone through or attributes that we’ve learned and that we try to enhance upon. But one thing is for sure, everything that we learn, everything that we acquire makes us the person that we are today. If we increase this knowledge, then we become better and each day becomes greater than the day before. If we stop at any given time, we actually decrease the person that we could be, and decrease the knowledge that we’ve acquired. We always stand on the ladder and the question is, “Are we going up the ladder or down the ladder?” Each and every human being stands on a rung. That rung lets us know where we are and a person has a choice to acquire more and become more, or to let go of what they’ve learned. You may say that if you don’t acquire more you understand that you wouldn’t grow, but why would you lose what you’ve had before? In order to keep your knowledge and make it viable, make it so that it becomes useful, you must enhance it at all times. You have to quantify. You have to not only make it greater than it was before, but you have to strengthen it with a passion. Enthusiasm itself is gained on a daily basis from the effects of the life that we live. It’s up to you to use that concept or not. It is better to always increase what you know by gathering more and more information. If you don’t, you’re going down every single day. There is a difference between increasing versus decreasing. It’s all up to you. It’s up to each and every one of us to grow or to stagnate and lose and become worse than we were before. Why not take this opportunity to grow, and learn as much as you can, continuously up and up? Because you deserve it! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 335 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is interesting that there are some people in this world who seek nothing but fame. They want to be known by everybody and they want to be seen by everybody. They want to be at the forefront of every single story, sometimes within the confines of their lives and other times, wherever they go and wherever they may be. A person who seeks renown is likely to achieve the opposite effect of what is actually desired. This concept is so true, and here’s how it works. When you try to tell everyone who you are, and you want that fame, you may find a simple fame. For instance, at the office you want everyone to believe that you are smarter than everybody else around you. At home, you want to let them know that you are the master and that you are the one that rules everything. Wherever you go, wherever you are at any given time you want to project the image that you are superior and that you are better, greater, stronger, and smarter; all these character traits. Seeking fame at the end will only destroy your personality. What good will that bring you? It will destroy your situation, it will limit your success, it will muffle your passions, it will even distract your goals. Instead of maximizing your capabilities you will actually change your future and destroy all the dreams that you have. Seeking fame is not good. It is unnecessary and often does not serve any purpose. What is good is seeking a good name, having a good reputation, being a kind person, being a person who gives, one who shares. One who shares not only what they have, but also what they don’t have. For instance, you can share your time and you can share your knowledge, you can share your belongings. You can share anything that you want. If you have very little, why not even share a smile with someone else? Smiling takes less muscles than frowning. So, why not smile more often? Why not share with everyone the goodness that you see in the world and the things that you have? Whatever they may be. That is what it’s all about, not seeking fame at any given time.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 334 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There two very important concepts to discuss today. One is the difference between loving peace and pursuing peace. Loving peace is described as a person who avoids a quarrel and someone who tries to the best of their ability to stay away from what is negative or perhaps even a dispute. Pursing peace, however describes what happens when the quarrel has already taken place and there has been a dispute.
It is common for people who have quarreled and are into some kind of an argument to avoid each other. It is then necessary to pursue peace in order to make peace between them. This is such a great attribute to try to do that.
Loving peace applies between a person and his friend, whereas pursing peace applies to one’s dealing with other people. Pursuing peace also is if peace runs away from a person; when your friend doesn’t want to make peace with you, makes disparaging remarks or says things that are not pleasant about you. Then, you should run after him and you should appease that person, that is pursing peace. Pursing peace may sound difficult, so you must make the effort to bring peace between two people at any given time to the extent of even pursing peace, which indicates how much effort must be made to do this. There should be absolutely no limit. The consequences of this action—this self-centeredness and arrogance is usually expressed as the opposite of peace and unity; it prevents the unity of people being together. I’m not sure why anybody would want to be in that situation.
Loving peace and pursuing peace is the ability to nullify yourself and think as though sometimes you don’t matter. It’s true. We may say, “Well, if I don’t matter, what’s the point?” You do matter, just not to yourself. To other people you should be as humble and as simple as can be. Let the humility take over you, so much so, that pursuing peace and loving peace become two of the most important character traits of your life and everything that you do. I can tell you for a fact that when you love someone, and you love everyone the same way, and you pursue this love “in” everybody and “with” everybody, not only would benefit you but also the whole world. Your life will be above and beyond what you’ve ever imagined.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 333 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I read a message today from a man with an incredible story. He wrote that he had listened to one of my podcasts and hearing the message, he decided to change his life. By changing his life, he was also able to affect other people around him including his spouse, the relationship with his children, and also the attitude that he had at his job. His life had been completely changed. I wondered, what was it he heard that I said which was so unique or special? He wrote in his message: "It was nothing you said, but rather it's the words that were expressed in what you said." It's interesting how by making a podcast or sending a message, you can affect people on the other side of the world. This person lives miles and miles away from here, in a different country, speaking a different language, but he heard one of the podcasts and it affected his life. Is this what you're all about? You and I, changing the world? The answer is “Yes”. Each and every one of us was given a mission. Some with our money, some with the power of our speech; some with our strength; some with our ability to help others, some with just being there for people. Whatever ability you've been given, whatever blessings you find yourself into, know that this is an opportunity for you to change the world and make it better, not just for yourself but for others around you. Use every single opportunity that comes your way to do a good deed, to do good things for others and make others feel better and see themselves greater than they are. Take every opportunity to make someone smile, to give them hope if they are desperate and in a dire situation. Give them a hand, give them some guidance with whatever capacity you can. Know that if you've met those people and they came into your life at that very moment, it's because you've been given a mission to help them. You can do that. Don't let any of these opportunities pass you by. Know that everything happens for a reason and the reason is because you are there to care. Make it happen.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 332 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I have given many lectures throughout the world pertaining to many different subjects. Just recently, during one of my lectures, several of the people who were sitting in the front had tears in their eyes; unexpected tears. Something that I said, a concept that I spoke about, a story that I told, an idea that I shared had caused those tears to come down their cheeks.
Now, you may say, "Is this the right thing to do?" If you affect people and they react in such a way that unexpected tears come out, you know that you have touched their heart. You know that you have come into a place in their life where goodness resides. Through your words, your story, your cues, your examples, or even whatever it is that you shared with them as an idea, somehow brought out an emotion which caused their tears to come down. This is the right way to do what you want to do. This is the right way to give a lecture.
A speaker can touch the heart of the listeners, of the audience, without saying too much and leading in the right direction. Affecting them to the point where tears come out unexpectedly, then you know that you are giving the right message. Now, that doesn't mean that every single message should cause the audience to cry or that every single message should cause them to laugh. But it means that every single message should create an engagement; and that engagement in their mind should have a reaction. You want to make sure that as you're speaking to someone else, an audience, a group of people, or even to one single person, that they walk away from the experience feeling greater about themselves than they did before they came to that conversation.
That's the secret of a good speech, a good orator, or a good audience listening to the speaker. That's the secret of a great message. I was touched by the fact that they had tears coming down their cheeks, but I was pleased at my message because it's reached their heart. You want people to feel and know that when they walk away, they are different than when they first came in. They should be different. They should be touched, and you can feel confident that your message had great values. This is what unexpected tears is all about.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 331 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Recently I was on a flight, I was scheduled to fly at a certain time. I arrived at the airport on time. I registered and gotten my ticket and my boarding pass. Everything was according to plan. But for whatever reason, everyone had gotten on the plane except me. They said they didn't have a seat for me. I couldn't understand what had happened. I calmly approached the desk and asked the stewardess, "What about my seat? I have not been assigned a seat?"
She said that my name had been bumped off. The airlines had overbooked the flight and one name was bumped off, mine. I had flown many, many times over the years. This has never happened to me.
I was in a quandary because I had a business appointment. My flight was going to be now delayed and I would not be on time, and many people were waiting for me to make a presentation. What should I do?
Being bumped off is not something which is desirable yet it's not controllable. I didn't have a choice. I certainly didn't ask for it. As a matter of fact, the airline had asked prior to the flight leaving, if there were anyone who would be willing to give up their seats in exchange for a possible compensation. I did not answer that question because I personally needed to be at my destination on time. But I was still bumped off.
The lady looked at me in a kind way and said, "I am so sorry," and all I could do was accept it. I was given a small voucher so I could get something to eat from the food court. Then I waited, and stayed there for another several hours in anticipation of the next flight. Later, I was given a different flight which, of course, got me to my location much later. I accepted this with grace.
You see, they could cancel my flight but they couldn’t cancel my day. They could affect the things that they have, but I knew it was not intentional. This was something that happened. I was just part of it. I could look at this and think I was a victim but I considered this a blessing. I used this opportunity to catch up on the rest of my work and do things which I didn't have the time to do before and complete my day, and I arrived a little later, but it all turned out to be good. That is the way life is.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 329 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever heard the expression, “Leave me alone”? It seems that when someone says this to you, or anyone else, this expression has a negative connotation. “Leave me alone” may sound like, “I don’t want to be with you. I don’t need you and I don’t want anyone around me. I just want to be by myself.” The truth is, a “leave me alone” time can be the ultimate gift to yourself on a daily basis. Every single day we manage to go through obstacles, and at times try to overcome some of the most difficult challenges that we have in our life. Sometimes we succeed and other times it seems that we don’t succeed. One thing is for sure is that we try our best. For those of us that do our utmost to overcome all these challenges, it may seem that we fail at doing what we want to do. There is no failure – failure is only when a person does not try, that is failure. But when someone gives their best and tries the most that they can, that is not failure. That is just an exercise which may need to be refined in one way or another. On a daily basis, I strongly suggest that you have a “leave me alone” moment. This is a time when no-one and nothing, out there or close to you, should be in your way. This is a time for you to reflect and find out whether or not that day was as successful you wanted, or also the way that you would have liked it to have been. The “leave me alone” moment is your time. It’s between you and the Creator to decide whether or not that day was filled with imagination that took you to a different level. It’s your time to decide. It doesn’t always happen that you get what you want, but it always works out that if you are determined to have a better day on the next day, you will. So, “leave me alone” time is a time of reflection. It’s a time of introspection. Something where you and the Creator get together in a moment of urgency and say, “How was the day? What can I do to make it better? What can I do to become nice? What can I do to grow? Where can I go? Who should I see? What, perhaps, was the one aspect of the day which I wish I could have changed?” By you doing this, you’re now prepared for the next day. When you say, “Leave me alone”, it is not necessarily negative. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 328 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is quite incredible, when you think about the power of a shadow. Depending on the time of the day the sun’s location in the sky, the very same object’s shadow will be either short and fat, or tall and thin. Since your shadow is always with you, it is actually a built-in compass. As long as you are not in the forest or a city of skyscrapers, your shadow will be there with you until you sleep. It’s also a ready-made source of outdoor fun for kids. Do you remember when you were younger and actually tried to chase your shadow? It was always a lot of fun. Just as the movement of a person’s body is reflected and magnified in his own shadow, every step of our conduct in this world arouses spiritual forces of incomparable power in the universe. Think about this for a second, it is a magnifying concept. Every single action we take in the physical world and every single deed we do, has a reaction and a ramification in the whole universe. The concept of our conduct in this world, which impacts the spiritual worlds, and the whole universe, is not really just as physical actions – it also includes even our words, and even our thoughts! It’s quite amazing. What that means is that every action you do and every thought you have, has an effect on the universe. Is it positive or negative? Don’t think for one second that this is just limited to thoughts, it is not. Thoughts are not only important, they are also extremely beneficial or, G-d forbid, detrimental. Nothing can stay that way. If a person is thinking very hard about another, that other person actually gets a reaction – either emotionally or physically. They have been touched. Know that your thoughts and your action are monumental in this world, therefore whatever you do when control your thoughts and actions, always be geared towards the good; always to be geared towards the great and others. Not at the expense of others, but in the service of others. By doing that, you will lead an incredible life and leave an amazing legacy. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 327 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are people whom we love and those whom we respect. There are also those that we miss. A way to keep in touch with them is to call them. To some it may be difficult because it's been quite some time since you've spoken to them. To others it maybe not as simple because you may have had an argument with them and you feel that that call will not be beneficial. And for others, you don't want to call because you don't have much to say to them.
My suggestion is just to make the call.
Whoever they are, if you know them and they are acquaintances of yours, make the call. Call them to wish them a good day. Call them to tell them you miss them. If you've had an argument with them or a disagreement, call them to make up. Call them. That was the sole reason why the phone was invented, so that you can make the call. So that we can bring people together and communicate while we're away from each other. That is the sole purpose the phone technology was created.
You see, it makes a difference when you look at it this way?
Use the phone and make the call.
Make the call to everyone to whom you think you owe an apology.
Make the call to everyone to whom the other party thinks you owe them an apology.
Make the call to everyone you know and tell them how much you miss them.
Make that call to all the people who are connected to you or who depend on you.
Make the call to everyone that you know in your life at least once in a while, to remind them that you're thinking of them.
Life is all about connecting with one another. The world is such that we are all one human body spread in multiple different ways throughout the world. We make up one human entity with different hearts, different minds, all united, irrespective of ethnicity, color, creed, religion. We're all one people under Heaven and the one G-d.
The phone technology was created for us to keep in touch with one another. So don't think so much about the situation or the condition, or what will the other party say; or what it will be, just make the call. I guarantee you that when you make the call, the words will come out perfectly. When you speak from the heart, it will enter their heart. The words that come from the heart enter the other person's heart. All you have to do is make the call and open your heart.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 793 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Each and every human being has been given a heavenly gift. Every single day that you wake up, you have been given a gift. The gift of time, the gift of opportunity, and the gift to choose what you wish and make this world a better place than you found it. The Creator’s mercy forever means that I have an excellent chance to do much better today than I did yesterday.
One concept is financial independence, where nobody and nothing has a claim on you. You are totally and incredibly dependent upon the resources of your own work. If you think about that, there is an incredible feeling there which gives you a serenity which is absolutely, undeniably quiet, fruitful, and always there. It is more than a mystery – it is actually a reality.
Is it possible that you are able to do whatever you wish in this world, and no-one has a control over you? That’s what a human, a person can do.
That’s called the heavenly gift to man. That ability to do whatever you want to do at any given time, wherever you wish. You are in complete control.
This ability is the magic that you can turn around and make another fortune if you want to make other people happy, build, control, and develop anything that you want. Now the mystery is not everybody will do it. It’s quite interesting, and not everybody believes in that.
Many people think that they are either disconnected or often not free to do what they wish. That is erroneous thinking and certainly not correct. What is truthful is that each and every person is given the free will to do whatever they wish during their life time. They need it to make this place a better place than they found it, since they came, or the opposite.
Our life is shaped by attitude and influence. You make the choice.

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 for the king to help us out. Now, not everyone believes in G-d, that is true. Not everyone believes that there is a supreme being. That is also true. But assuming that this world is above and beyond everything else that we can think of. An entity that a supreme consciousness rules and maintains it. Know that nothing happens haphazardly. That would be something ridiculous to think that it just happens for itself. There is a consequence. These consequences are nurtured and activated by our actions. If we believe in that, then we know for a fact that everything that we do affects everything else. It is that action itself that I’m speaking about. Why not use the good that we do, the good that we think about, the good that we talk about, and use that to help the world be a better place? Not just for those that are religious, but for everyone. Not just for our own country, but for the whole world. Help everyone else be, see, act, live better than they were before. That’s the ultimate life, and that’s the ultimate world. Whether you believe in G-d or not is not the point here, the point is that you do the best that you can do at all times. If you think or believe that the King is now in the field, then use the time wisely and have a good petition for what you want. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 323 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Sometimes you will speak to people who say, or perhaps even you say, "I keep falling. I keep making the same mistake that I made over and over again. Even though I try to be better. I try to overcome these challenges yet I keep falling. I keep falling in the same mistakes and sometimes even more so than I did before. I keep falling. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, no matter what happens, there's another obstacle, and I keep falling, so what's the point? What should I do? Why do I keep falling?" Here is the answer to that question. It's not "you keep falling," look at it as "you fell,". It's just an incident, that's it. You may say, "Yes, but this incident keeps on coming back." Break it down into multiple incidents and take one at a time and rationalize on how you can and should make that one incident better. When a child, for instance, tries to walk for the first time in his life, he gets up and he falls, and he gets up again and he falls. Then he gets up again and then he falls. How many times will he try? As many times as it takes. He will not stop. What if he falls and hurts himself and cries? He will try again. What if he thinks for that moment that there's no way that he can get up? He will find another way to make it happen and he'll get up again. This is how a child learns how to walk. He will try over and over again. Are these failures? No; this is how you learn, this is how you grow. If there are things in your life that you regret, things that you've done which are improper, or for whatever reason, should not have been done and you recognize it, then that's the beginning of goodness, that's the beginning of success, that's how it starts. What you have to do is look at these incidents individually and make the clear determination and promise to yourself that you'll stop. Don't think of what will happen tomorrow and certainly, don't say, "What's the use? What's the point? I'm going to fall again." Don't say that. Know and believe that this is the last time you fell and you won't fall again. That's a guarantee. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 322 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times in our lives when we feel that the challenges are bigger than we are, and we are not able to overcome them. It seems that, in an unconditional way we’re not going to succeed and things are very, very difficult. This is an option that we have. We can live in this anxiety, and we can live with the passion of knowing that we are going to eventually come out of it, but with sadness. Or we can overcome that. At times you are not sure, because things are challenging and difficult. You may not know where you’re going or whether or not the outcome will be what you would like it to be. If you’re down, go ahead and sing. You can hum or you can sing. I suggest you sing to yourself without words. Make sure that the song that you’re singing is something that you heard once that touched your heart. I have such a song in my life. I remember that when my own Mother used to put me to sleep she would sing a song. That is the song that I remember, and that is deep inside my heart. It left an unconditional, undeniable, unquestionable trust in my own heart. Whenever I feel that things are challenging, difficult, or at times overwhelming, I just sing that song. I remember it and I will always remember it. Find that song. The one that touched your heart, that affected your mind. The one that was able to take you to a different universe just by humming it. In the middle of that challenge you will find that so many beautiful things happen. By singing the world will open up. It will seem that it is Spring even though it may be raining outside. It will seem at that moment that the whole world really doesn’t exist. Now you may say, “Well, that is not reality. Reality is that I am facing this challenge.” That is true. But when you’re down and about, and not sure where you’re going, sing a song and your world will change. That this is the beginning of what you want to do in order to get out of where you are at that moment. Down is only a passing event in your life – it’s one moment in your journey. That’s all it is. By singing you will elevate yourself onto a level of unprecedented, unmatched, unparalleled goodness. Use it. Use it to achieve your confidence and to attain your ultimate with trust and happiness.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 321 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
We all go through life experiencing various conditions which make it difficult at times to overcome, and sometimes even scary. We're not sure of some of the things that are happening and we're not sure of the future. Sometimes, even though it looks promising, it's not what happens; so what do we do? Some advice which I think could be beneficial if you were to do it properly. It is called meditation.
The power of meditation can truly help you, and that doesn't mean that you're going to your room and get yourself into a strange position and start humming; that is not meditation. Meditation is the ability to close your eyes two, three times a day in a peaceful environment and recount of who you are and try to figure out where you are going.
Ask yourself the question, “Am I doing the right thing? Am I going in the right direction? Is everything I'm doing benefiting myself and the world?”
If the answer is yes, then keep it up.
Human nature is such that we change our ways and often we make mistakes, which we regret. You should meditate at least two to three times per day. Now, we're not asking for you to take off several hours per day to do other things than what you're supposed to do, no, that's not what you need. Meditation should jus take a few minutes. Stop and think where are you, and where are you going?
For those of you that believe and you pray, then this helps but don't let the prayer become a routine. Make sure that you use that time to reflect on where you are, where you have been for the last moments, and where you are going in the near future. Meditation can help you change everything about you. It can help you focus, reorient yourself, and give you direction in your life. Meditation is a secret to analyzing your situation and making it better than it was. Meditation is the ability to overcome the challenges when you truly realize that these challenges may not be as real as they maybe.
Meditation has been used by many people in many different countries. In some countries, it's actually part of their culture. I suggest that you meditate. During the meditation, ask for strength, pray for goodness, and pray for you to become the best that you can be. Pray for clarity, and pray that you are the mission that you wish to be, and the results of that mission to be the best that it can be. It can be done, and you should start right now.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 320 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times, you hear people saying they are mad about a situation, circumstance, or something that has happened to them. For whatever reason, they are just mad. They have at this moment realized that what they wanted, did not get accomplished; or what they needed, did not get done.
Why be mad? What does madness bring to the world. What does the negativity of the madness generated, from this attitude, bring to you or the rest of the world? Absolutely nothing.
Being mad means that you are only downgrading yourself and losing the opportunity to become better. Now you can be bitter about your situation so you can improve; that is a good quality because then things will change. Things will become better. Things will become improved. You will then apply diligence onto whatever it is that didn’t get accomplished. You will electrify yourself; nurture your new passion and reinforce your belief to do the best that you can.
Being mad accomplishes nothing, it actually brings you down. It muffles your ambitions, it takes away your vision, it kills your dreams - It literally suffocates all your challenges. It puts you in a direction which is all negative. You need to realize that madness was only given to us in order to recognize how not to use it.
You might say, “Well, why is this attitude even given to us as an opportunity? Why weren’t we created without the feeling of madness?” The reason for it that is when the world was created, it was created as a balanced entity. With complete, undeniable, unadulterated and one hundred percent freedom to do as we wish. The beauty is that we, at any time, have the choice to be whatever we wish to be, and to use whatever strength we were given.
You could be dynamic, you could be honest, you could be kind and trustworthy, you could be authentic, you could be confident, and you could be successful.
It’s all your choice. Or you could just be mad all day, and just be upset at the fact that nothing is going the way that you wish.
Madness doesn’t help, being mad is not going to make it better. For things to change you have to change. Reflect on your strength, forget about your past, and know that you can make a difference. Then just do it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 319 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond When we have meetings with people the question is, “Is the meeting beneficial or not?” If it is the next question would be, “Is it beneficial to both parties or just one?” For a meeting to be beneficial it has to be able to be beneficial to both. Both parties, as they meet, have to walk away with something. Something which is greater than they had before the meeting. The approach of a meeting should be with respect and affection. The reason for that is because you have to judge every single person favorably, irrespective of what you find out about them. It is necessary to bear in mind that the person that you’re meeting with could be making a self-commitment in their lives or perhaps may not even be responsible. It simply may not be because something they want, but it could be because they may not have had the opportunity to receive the proper education, or guidance, or success that you’ve had. That may be the real truth behind that. If this is the case and you find that this person is not as successful, or bright, or good – whatever you may call good as you are – then you should have devoted pity for such a person. But not the kind as denigrating. To the contrary, it’s necessary at that moment to make the utmost effort to help that person. Help them with love, respect, and in a pleasant manner. Help them see themselves greater than they are. Help them grow. Help them see that success is something that they can achieve with progressive discipline over a reasonable period of time. Help them see that failure is nothing more than the lack of vision. That they themselves can become better. They have this opportunity just like you have, and if there’s something that you know that they do well, emphasize that point so that they can truly be uplifted. There’s a saying that says, “By lifting others, you rise.” That is true. But in order to lift them you have to find the good in them; you have to find the best in them. Then help them see it. Once they see that and they realize how much they can do, there is no telling how far they can go. And who knows? Perhaps one day they might even outdo you. Wouldn’t that be great? That they walked away from such a meeting with great things? Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 318 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
As a parent and, while we are helping our children grow up, we often remind them of how careful they have to be while they play with other children or the habits that we want them to develop. One of them is the ability to be compassionate and sharing. “Share everything you have”, we tell them. “Share your toys, share your bed, and share maybe even your lunch.” We tell this to our children as they are growing up. We want them to be kind, compassionate, and giving.
Sharing is an important component of our lives. As we grow to become adults and many people forget the importance of sharing. They believe that “this” is theirs, that they have earned the right to have it. Or they’ve earned, for whatever reason, the opportunity to use it. It becomes to them a fact. This is my car. These are my clothes. This is my office. This is my money and everything becomes then, just ‘mine’.
Let me tell you something about the word, “Sharing”. Sharing is the ability to recognize that was what given to you was a gift and not to you for eternity but really as a loan. Everything that you have is just a loan. It has been given to you by a Supreme Being to see what you’re going to do with it. To be compassionate, or not. To give, or not.
You have to recognize that the ability to be compassionate and giving doesn’t make you better than the recipient. It’s known and acknowledged that other people also have needs, and perhaps you’ve been given more than them. Sharing means the opportunity to take what you have, not only as a blessing but as a gift, to give to others and share with others.
Think of a book, a great book. Something that you have sitting on your shelf. It has so much knowledge to share with. If no-one reads it, what good is it? It’s just a pile of paper bounded together. But if you were to share it with others, now this book becomes a source of knowledge and perhaps the beginning of ambitions for many other people. It is the same with everything that you own and everything that you have.
Sharing means giving to others, regardless of what you’ve got, and regardless of ownership. Share everything you have – your knowledge, your ability, your kindness, your world. Your love. Share. Share with everyone – you’ll feel better about it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 317 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure that you have met people who are very proud of who they are. Sometimes this pride hinges upon not just “extreme” pride but almost arrogance. What is the point of that? Why be that way?
To be proud is a good thing. It’s showing that you care and that you are confident in what you’re doing.
To be that arrogant, however, has no purpose to it and there’s no benefit to anyone. A person must strive and toil strenuously with patience and friendliness and you can prevail in all things. With a denigrative attitude towards others and inflating your own importance, you lose everything. There’s nothing left for you.
Everything that you want to do in this world is given to you not as a package but as a step. A step in order for you to move up to the next level. Each step is one of the steps of the journey that you need to accomplish throughout the world. And throughout your life.
So, be proud of what? The fact that you were born?
That was given to many other people – billions of people. To be proud of the fact that you are alive? That was also given to other people.
What you have to be is not just proud of who you are, but proud of the actions that you take on every single day and every moment, beware of the things that come out of your actions. The positive combinations of different things that have come about because of the things you’ve done: that is an accomplishment.
Another thing to be considerate of, is not to be proud of whatever actions you’ve done, even if they are good when compared to another person. It’s true, not everyone will do as much as you do. Not everyone is or will succeed, or be successful as much as you may be.
Every single person has an enormous and awesome mission in this world and they themselves can do magnificent things. Everybody is a remarkable person. They can leave a memory in this world, and a legacy for eternity. They may not be in the right circumstances at that time.
“To be proud of what?” is a concept that we need to be reminded of. Yes, there are other people who are not as fortunate. But because you are, then don’t be proud of your actions. Be proud of the fact that you love everyone.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 316 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond How serious is life? How serious should you act toward life? You have to see yourself as though the entire world is held in your balance at any given time, and any one deed that you do could tip the scales for you and the entire world, either for the good or the opposite. When faced with an opportunity to do something that could benefit the world – or the opposite – Knowing that everything in the world is either pulling or pushing you in some direction is an awesome responsibility. It’s awesome because it is given to you and no-one else. You may say, “Why just me? There are many people in this world, and why should I be responsible?” Each and every creation in this world has a purpose. Not just to be there, but a purpose to accomplish its fullest potential. If it doesn’t, then it’s wasted time and it may not have the opportunity to do it again. Every single person has to say, at every single moment in their life, “The whole world was created with me in mind. I have to do whatever I can, to the best of my abilities.” With this awesome responsibility to change this world into a better place to be. Human beings were given the complete free will as a gift. It’s a gift of tremendous magnitude and responsibility but it’s given to us. Other factions do not have that; for instance: animals, vegetation, or the inanimate world, they don’t have free will. They are just there. Their mission is just to be continuously growing within the restraints of their own beings. Human beings have tremendous opportunity. Everything that we have, at any given time, gives us the ability to either shift the world to the right or to the left. To what is good, or what is opposite. You have to see yourself as this very important person that can make a change in this world. With this kind of opportunity and this knowledge, this awesome responsibility, you now are literally armed with the best tools in the world. Remember that there is no challenge given to you that doesn’t come with not only the strength, the courage, but also the ability to overcome it. No challenge ever. You’re never in a position that you cannot overcome it. Knowing that this is an awesome responsibility. I hope you use it well. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 766 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond In life, we often don’t realize what our actions can do. It is interesting that every single action that we take affects the whole world. Have you ever heard the concept about the butterfly that flaps its wings and the sound that it creates by flapping its own little wings can create a tsunami - literally - on the other side of the world. It sends waves all the way to the other side of the world. We don’t always know the power of our actions, and we don’t always realize that our choices can create a ripple effect, and that those ripple effects can be, literally, to no end. Often, we may not even discover the full impact of our actions. Only sometimes we are lucky to see that behind the curtain of life, how all the strings of life are being pulled and directed. We see what we’ve done, and we see the effects that it had on other things, places, and people. I can tell you for a fact that I have been fortunate enough, thank G-d, to see many times the ripple effect of the things I have done. I remember that when my children were young, I would go to them every night before they would go to sleep, and I would give them a kiss, wish them a good night, and told them how much I loved them. Even today, they remember these precious moments. A ripple effect was created between a bond which will never be broken. Those are the effects that you want in the world. When you drive by and see a homeless person on the road, give them something; perhaps some food that you have left in the car, or a couple of dollars that you have in your pocket. Give a smile to someone as you walk by as you’re taking a stroll. Give a helping hand to someone trying to cross the street, who is not too certain they can make it. Let someone else pass when you’re driving and they seem to be in a rush, while you are not. Regardless of the opportunities that you have throughout the day, help others see themselves greater than they are. Make your day and their day much better, by sharing and giving. Those ripple effects, while you may not see them or the results of them, I promise you will have a tremendous, unending circumstance which will one day turn around to make this place a better place to be. A wiser, better, stronger world. Perhaps you’ll have the opportunity to see it, but if not, it’s well worth it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 314 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a place in your life where you reach a certain level of peace and serenity. This place, when you reach it will become the ultimate and most absolutely delightful moment in your life. This is the moment when you live with absolute trust. Absolute trust is to know for a fact that what you’ve done, and what you are doing, is good. Not just for you but for the world around you and the whole universe. Absolute trust means that you have confidence in your actions, and the confidence of all the things that you’ve accomplished, both on your thoughts, speech, and actions. That they’re all connected, but they’re doing the right thing. That they’re going in the right direction. At that moment, you have the absolute trust that everything will be well. Everything will be good. Even though it seems not as a reality but as a dream, or perhaps a mirage, that you are at this point, experiencing challenges. All of them will be overcome, you have the absolute trust within yourself that all will be well and end well. This is a level which is difficult to reach at the beginning or when you are younger. This serenity, peace of heart, and peace of mind that you are not only comfortable with your actions but also know unequivocally, undoubtfully that the tenable and most constructive way that you’ve done everything in your life to be better. Whether you succeed is irrelevant, because success is only a definition by the other party who looks at you. If you know that you’ve done the right thing and that you are going in the right direction, then there’s nothing to be concerned about. Now you may say, “How would I know that?” Look at your actions and look at the reactions of everyone around you. If they are helped by what you do; what you say; what you think; then you’re doing the right thing. If they’re not, then you probably need to change your activities or even think about what you’re doing. This absolute trust means that you are confident based on the reactions and based on the results of everything that happens around you. Why not take this opportunity and review your actions; review your speech; review your thoughts? See if they are affecting the world positively. And if they are, then you’re good.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 313 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “I told you so.” It’s been told to us throughout the years we were growing up, by our parents or perhaps by a friend who cared enough to tell us what they thought. It may have been told to us by someone such as a grandparent, an uncle, or even a sibling. Sometimes it’s told to us by a colleague, or someone we meet who becomes a mentor to us.
“I told you so” – the four most important words that can make a difference in your life. Yet we take these words for granted and hardly ever listen to them.
I remember when my parents, specifically my father, would say to me that his father had told him so many things that he had to do and things that he should be aware of. “Two words to remember”, he would say, “One is behold and the other one is beware.”
Behold of the greatness that there is in the world and the things that you could do. Beware of the things you need to make sure you do not break and/or ever go against. Beware of the greatness of the things that you can do. He would tell me that the Bible itself would have examples, things to follow, things to understand, things to emulate, and warnings.
Things to stay away from. “I told you so” means, “I’m giving you my experience; I’m sharing with you what I know, what I’ve heard, what I have seen, what I understand, and perhaps even, what I have gone through myself.”
When I tell you these words and I repeat them to you, it’s because I understand them very well today. Perhaps more today than I did in the past.
“I told you so” means, “I knew this would happen.” Not because I’m a prophet or because I know things more than you do, but I’ve just been there before “you” could get there. Taking a stroll with one of my children this week, I said those very words. “I told you so.” Not because of something that happened, but as a reminder that it is better to be forewarned today and to remember the things we were taught from our parents, grandparents, friends, colleagues, siblings, and mentors. Remember that what they said was probably true and we should heed all of their advice for good things.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 309 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times when we have disagreements, disputes, or even arguments with people who we love, and people with whom we should be close to. It may be a spouse, a sibling, a friend, a family member, a colleague, a neighbor, or an acquaintance - Anyone. We get into these arguments sometimes based on things which we believe should be argued about, or concepts, or a philosophy, or even something we feel strongly about. But I ask you, after all said and done, was it really worth it? Probably not; we are the wreckage. To move forward, a person has to forgive and forget. Let it go and never retrieve it. What happens when you do that? Let me explain. If you were to take a rope that was cut or severed and join the two severed pieces with a string and a knot, you would actually create a stronger connection between the two pieces than had existed before they were severed. It’s quite incredible, but it’s the truth. Know this fact, since you may possibly have an argument, dispute, or disagreement with someone right now. Whoever that person may be, by you making up with them you will be connected with them more than you’ve been before. This tying of knots will bring you close together; bring you back, and make up. This will help you move forward. You may say, “Well what would be the point of that? I still don’t agree with that person, or I still have this feeling. I’ll live with that.” How does that help you? How does that help the world? Always remember that this could be your last day or, if you wish, that this could be your first day of a ‘happiness and make up’ day. Either way, it is not good to live with strife or among disputes, disagreements, and negativity. You don’t need it, and the world around you doesn’t need it. No-one wants it. But now that you know that making up will put the two pieces of the severed string together, think of how much of a benefit that is. I recommend that if you want to move forward, make sure that you do the right thing. Do it today, don’t wait, don’t delay, don’t even think about it. Just do it, and do it well.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 308 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Isn’t it interesting that sometimes we meet people who feel they are superior than others? It’s hard to understand the reason, but there are many people who do. There is no need to be superior, or feel superior than another.
One must be extremely humble in relation to every person. Now what that means is that you have to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else.
You might ask the question, “Why is that? Why should I consider myself less? Why not better, especially if I believe I am? Or at least equal?”
Objectively speaking, how can you consider yourself less meritable than another? Who actually at times may appear themselves to be unworthy of your own estate? What you have to bear in mind is that you should never judge anyone until you’ve actually stood in his place. Once you reach this place and you actually are in that same situation, then you will know.
We all have our own challenges. The fact that we don’t succumb to a particular temptation while another person does, doesn’t make us superior to them.
Who can measure the effect of upbringing?
The environment? Or the inborn character or the weaknesses against the temptation that anybody faces?
Who can say how they were affected by everything in their life?
We don’t know, we have absolutely no clue of why other people do what they do. But one thing we do know is what we do, that we can control. I can control myself and my environment, and I can influence others to make it better. What they do should have no effect on my actions.
If I see someone who is not in a good place, why not wish them well and help them if it’s possible to be better and reach a better place? This is the way we could make a better place for the world, and for every one of us.
It’s not a question about superior or not; it’s a question of what is your duty? What is your mission? How would you like to affect this world, while you’re here on earth for that period of time?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 307 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought about the source of light? Where does light come from? It is said that only in the space of the universe, the heavens and on the earth where the body of thesun’s glow is not present. All that is seen is but an illumination that emanates from it. What that means is that the rays themselves which can be seen or felt but the light and radiance that appears to the eyes of all the beholders, has actual existence as we know it and here the term existence can really be truly applied to it. The sun’s light and the rays, as they appear outside the sun glow, can be said to exist as much as we can see them. But in its source, in the body of the sun, the sun itself. What is the source of that light? Where did it come from? How did it appear? Of course many scientists will come and say, “Well, there was this theory, and this other theory.” All theories that come together are based on speculative concepts. The word speculative in itself means non-scientific, or almost like a “guess”. Speculative means, things that people believe but cannot be reproduced as it would be as the word scientific. Because scientific is where it would have been, not only produced and proven, but it could be reproduced and it could be seen by the naked eye. No-one can truly say the “source of light”, or the “source” of where the world comes from. Just theories, that’s all people can say. Since they all have a theory, and of course I’m not a scientist, but I also have a theory. Here’s mine – which is shared by many people. Why not believe in the oldest book which was written in this world, that we know of, called the Bible? Why not believe in its theory, and that is that there is only one G-d above us all, that created the world? An ordinate, very specific, process. Using all the goodness in the world. Now, once you agreed to that then you’ll admit that there is a Creator. Whatever the Creator wishes, that’s what we need to follow. Life is not complicated. People make it complicated. Why not just follow the right path? Make this world a better place than it ever was before you came. This is your mission in this world. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 306 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought of the fact that there are billions of people in this world, and yet you cannot find two people who are alike? Not even twins. They may have character traits, maybe views of the world, or even physical appearance that may be similar, but not exactly the same. This means that the world is unique and so is every single person in this world. Now there is a fundamental principle in philosophy, and that is that the mind itself, by its innate nature, meaning from birth, rules over the heart. It must be subservient to the heart for the purpose of the world. It does so by utilizing the intellect as well as the comprehension, and the profound contemplation of the greatness of our mission in this world. There is a Ruler, or whatever you wish to call this Being, this Ruler, this Creator, something must be controlled. The world itself didn’t just happen by innate nature developing itself. It just wouldn’t make sense. So, what is the role of a person in this world? What is the mission? Well, my humble opinion is based on writings and many books that have been written. “A person must subordinate his heart at all times, control his emotion, but use the mind to do so. To know how to act; how to walk, how to talk, how to think, and how to share. How to do everything in this world. It cannot be ruled by emotions.” If you were to rule everything by emotions, you would be almost like instincts. That’s what animals do – they react by instincts. We human beings have a special mission in this world, to make it a better place for goodness and greatness to be throughout the universe, at all times. In order for us to do that, we have to pay close attention to all of our actions. This fundamental principle that is in the mind, must subordinate the heart at all times is vital to you and everyone around you. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 304 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are times when lessons come to your world and you wonder, “What was the purpose of that?” The answer is simple, for you to work towards yourself and towards the service of the Creator of the world and everything that you do to make it better. It’s a lesson.
The philosophy of goodness, kindness, and greatness emphasize all of these points. It’s very basic if you think about it. By definition, we are asked and demanded to live a life that requires and gives little more than we have. A little more effort and little more in the duty of mind of things that what we do. A little more dedication, a little more in depth, a little more enthusiasm, and enthusiasm itself provides for a breakthrough in overcoming any limitation.
People are endowed with a good measure of enthusiasm. It’s buried deep into each person. If it’s channelled properly in the right direction, we can strengthen and illuminate the world with goodness in everything that we do. We just have to remember these words: “A little more.”
When you give of yourself, give a little more. When you give a tip, give a little more. When you try to help someone, give a little more. When you try to become better, to yourself and to your past, give a little more. Give a little more of yourself and realize that you have so much to give. You are created as a perfect example of the ultimate you. The ultimate person that you can be. That’s you, that’s me, that’s all of us.
Why not use this? It’s etched in the very concept of our life. It is encrusted in our own character. Use that to shine in the world and make this place a greater place.
Know that you have everything that it takes to get there. I’m sure for those of you that have listened to my podcasts or have been reading this collection have heard this so many times. This is only because it is the truth. The truth itself is incontrovertible. It is not ever changing; it repeats itself and it will always be there. Use this concept and be a little more than you have been.
Give a little more, study a little more, and apply yourself a little more. That’s all that’s required of you. Just a little bit more than you did before. You will be amazed at the results and you will be impressed as where you’re going to end up. The things that you could accomplish, by doing just a little more.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 303 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond When we think about our life, often we think of good things, and things that make up the person that we are. A lifetime, spans a certain amount of number of changing stages. There’s childhood, boyhood, youth, and young adulthood, and even advance in years. These years can make a difference. They not only make a difference in who we are and who we become, but also in the places that we go to. People also vary in their gifts. These are called gifts of life, whether they’re common or mediocre in the way that we look at them or even luminous. This is the same thing with people’s nature; a person can be bashful, joyful, or even exuberant but, apart from all these variables in every one in the course of a lifetime Divine Providence engineers particular periods which sometimes change a man’s very nature. It’s quite amazing that we can develop these gifts, the gifts of life. These set up each person to a particular height, so that he can gaze upon the ultimate purpose for which the man was created. This is why life on earth becomes so special, so particular. We don’t know why some of these gifts are given to us, and we don’t know the reasons why some of those gifts are not given to others. When you are faced with a challenge, this ability to grow is not about who you are, or the things you’ve done, or the type of personality or nature. It’s about the accomplishments. The things that you can do to make it in this world. Those accomplishments are all the actions that are needed of you. If you pursue these actions, if you do these good things, you would have accomplished all that you were raised and born to be. Quite interesting. That’s what life is all about. Don’t ever be fearful of challenges, and don’t ever curse the days that are difficult, or the tests that are coming your way. They’re all good. They are all good and they’re all there for a purpose. And you must know, and believe, that they’re there to make you better. Not, G-d forbid, to hurt you – but to raise you to a level which you had never expected before. These are the gifts of life. Enjoy them, nurture them, copy them, and ask for more. Only so that you can be better. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 302 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I met a man once who was blind. Basically, he couldn’t see what we can see. But he could certainly feel. He could feel and understand it, so much better than most human beings who have the vision. He was sightless. He couldn’t see the things in the way that we saw them, but he saw them in a different way. His blindness did not stop him from becoming an incredible person.
He once asked me to describe to him a color, and he said, “Describe what you see in front of you in the tree.”
As much as I tried, I couldn’t describe the color green. Because I had no idea of what it would be like if it wasn’t green.
He asked me to describe it in a way that would make sense. What it would feel like. The only way he could ask me to do this properly was to ask me to close my eyes and imagine, since it was dark now for me as well, what it would be like to see that tree.
It was an amazing experience. I remember that he led me to different paths in my life. Every time I have a challenge or a question, or at times not quite understand where I’m going, I think of this man.
This man was introduced to me by my own father, because actually my father used to walk him home every week. My father would say to me, “There’s so much to learn from this man. Even though he cannot see with his eyes, his heart, his mind, his actions, and everything speak so loud that he understands everything about the world.”
I became close to that man myself. I will never forget that, and today I am a father and a grandfather. I have been blessed with a beautiful family. When things are difficult or challenging, this is what I suggest to you: close your eyes and imagine that you can’t see what it is that you are looking for. But look for the pathway, look for the answers.
Imagine for a moment that you are being blessed. Or you’re being faced with adversity or a challenge, draw toward you the inner strength that you didn’t even know existed – and at that moment you’ll successfully accomplish your goal.
We’ve all heard stories of parents lifting cars over a small child because they were trapped underneath, and other things which are unbelievable. In a normal situation, some of these things can not happen; but when you are challenged, this is the time that you have the strength to do anything that you wish. Learn about that.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 301 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There’s an interesting story about a man who was clearing the stones and rocks from his field. They were disturbing the growth of his produce, so rather than disposing of them in a suitable area he just did what was easiest for him at the time. He just threw them onto the path in front of his property. Passing by one day, as the landowner was at the time clearing his fields, and another older man came by and said, “What are you doing? Why are you throwing stones from a place that isn’t yours into a place that is yours?” Well, the landowner stopped his work for a moment and he looked at who was speaking to him. He then realized that the old man must be a fool. He laughed at him and he said, “What are you saying? The opposite is true. You see, I’m throwing stones from my land on to public property.” The old man shook his head and he passed by. Throughout the rest of the day the field owner remembered this conversation and he would break out in laughter every time he thought about it. He continued to clear his field, throwing the stones on to the path. He thought this was the best way to do it. Not too longer after, the landowner found himself burdened with a huge debt, and in order to pay for it he had to sell his field. After which he became a laborer. One day, as he was walking home from work, he began reminiscing about the good old days. Since he was not concentrating on the path in front of him he tripped over a rock. This was in the path, and he fell flat on his face. As he managed to lift his body up, he looked and noticed. “Why,” he said, “this is right in front of my old fields. This is what I used to own once and the stone I’ve just tripped over is one of those stones, if I recall, that I had thrown from my field onto the public property. And now this path belongs to me, like everybody else who passes by and it caused this accident for me.” You see, we don’t expect that anyone will trip over some kind of candy wrapper, or receipt or some things that we just throw. We just toss it out on the sidewalk, or somewhere. We don’t dream of littering the house that we live in, or letting our guest or children do the same. But we don’t pay attention when we are outside. Why not pay closer attention to that? Because the great outdoors is also our home. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 300 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are many people who unfortunately live with doubt. This doubt is clustering their mind, taking them by surprise every single day and holding them hostage, not being able to move forward or think positively. They’re doubting what they can do, they’re doubting where they can go, what they can see, what they can accomplish. This doubt brings them not only into captivity, but it keeps them from moving forward. Now what are they doubting, if you think about it? They’re doubting not only the abilities of their own capabilities but they’re also doubting the Creator of the world that says, “You can’t do anything. And if you try, you might not succeed.” Why think that way? Why even believe that you can’t accomplish so much and do greater things? Why even believe that you are limited? Think about this for a second; a tree has the ability to grow, but how tall? How tall will be determined by its velocity, it will be determined by its nature. It will grow and grow and grow. A tree will not limit itself at any given time. It will keep on growing. Now if a tree can do that, don’t you think you can? Of course, you can! You have to realize that it is the responsibility of the Creator of the world to provide abundance in everything that you do. Extraordinary success, both in material and spiritual matter, and through ordinary mediums, things that you might not even imagine. There are measures of blessings that will be abundant for you. They will appear and shower your life – you just have to believe it. Now it’s easy to say, “Well, but my past shows that I have not been blessed. I’m not successful; things are not moving my way and I’m not moving forward.” Are you sure about that? Are you positively sure that your life is not successful? Are you possibly limiting yourself in thinking that you’re not successful? Look around you, look at your friends, look at your health, and look at your day. Look at your hands moving, from the simple to the complex. You are able to accomplish much more. Know that you can do it and believe in yourself at all times. Don’t doubt yourself. Doubting yourself is a disease. It starts as an infection and then becomes a disease. But you can stop it by believing in yourself. Don’t be frustrated, be fascinated. Just do the opposite. Turn these good things into greater things. Start from now and you will see that everything around you will change. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 299 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is an interesting concept about human beings, we want to know everything. We want to understand everything and we don’t want to have any questions in our life.
The question which we can ask, “Why does the Creator of the world do a certain thing one way, and another thing another way?”
How can we know that? How can we answer this question? You see, the whole question has absolutely and fundamentally no basis.
Here is an illustration which might make it easier to understand, imagine a small child who is only interested in food, playing, toys, and the like. Let’s say this small child would ask a profound philosophical problem or the construction of an intricate machine. At this point a small child would not know. It would seem to be, in this case, absurd. Even though the difference between the small child and the philosopher, or engineer, is only a degree of difference.
How could the small child be expected to know that? It would be even more absurd to expect any human being to understand the reasons why the Creator of the world has made what He has made. The difference between a human being and the Creator of the world is absolute. Namely the difference between the created being and the Creator is infinite, it is just impossible.
Why am I saying this? There are things in life which you do not need to question, you just need to act. To spend days, hours, weeks, and months on why things happen.
How does it help you? What does matter is what you do about it. What happens, happens to everyone. You can’t control the seasons and the weather; what you can control is the set of your sails. The wind blows on everyone, but the set of the sails, especially your sails – that, you can control.
So, since everything happens to everyone, why worry?
Why be concerned? Why be jealous? Why be upset? Why even wonder?
Why not take care of the things that you have to do, and make the best of it. Do the things that will make this world better. Improve yourself, without worry or doubt. Keep on moving, because that’s what the world is all about.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 297 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
How often are we faced with the issues that tempt us to do things which are not proper? There is a lesson in every one of us. Part of our divine mission involves being exposed to temptation – that is the way the world was created. That is the reason why we were created, to be tempted, to prevail, and to help raise all men and women to a higher level.
It is understood, that we are speaking of tests and temptations which the Creator placed right before us. It is a fundamental belief that man has the capacity to remain steadfast in the face of all difficulties and tests. Any one of them have been imposed to us by Divine Providence.
Man is not any time subjected for himself, or herself, to test temptation. We know that these temptations are there to try and find out if we can circumvent and overcome them. We already know that this is part of the plan.
Speak to any human being who’s an adult today and ask them, “How many temptations do you have in your day?”
They will tell you, “Many. Many, and many more.” That’s how life is.
But, if you know you have the capacity to overcome them, if you know you have the ability at all times to win it over and to be in charge of your life, then it’s yet one more opportunity for you to prove it to yourself and to the world. To prove that you are strong enough, and valuable enough, to do what you wish to do.
The fact that the capacity remains at all times, steadfast. In the face of all difficulties, you can overcome them. So, why be concerned?
Why worry? Why even doubt your abilities at any time?
They were given to you only to bring the best out of you; only to bring out within you what is often not revealed, and hidden. So, enjoy the challenges, and overcome the temptations, completely and at all times, with confidence and trust. Know that once you succeed, you will become a better person than you’ve ever been, since you arrived down here.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 296 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Are there times when you feel that other people are trying to impress their own feelings upon you, or their concepts, ideas, philosophies, religion, or anything else that they believe in?
There is an absolute universal standard of morality and ethics that binds all of humanity. This is the truth, this is the way it has to be. This was given by the Creator of the world Himself. It was in such a way that each and every member of society has to be careful of what they do. There are measurements as to what is right and what is not.
The paths of truth, which are endless, are not the same as the 88 keys that we find on the piano. On a piano, each key represents a note, and they lend themselves to endless musical combinations. For instance, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Bach – all these amazing creators of music – didn’t need to create new keys in order to display their creative genius and musical brilliance. They just took those same keys and a combination of their own individual association of notes and made a new song, new music.
That is the way that we have to live in this world. In order to live with someone else and be part of this world, you don’t need to knock them down or make them feel worse than you think they are, or they think they are.
Why not accept them the way they are?
Why not live with people and accept them just the way they are “today”? The way you see them.
At the same time point out to them, from what you see, the beauty of all those wonderful qualities. Point out to them how amazing some of those qualities are participating and helping you become a better person.
Life is about sharing. Granted, some people at times may be, possibly, annoying to you. But then again, are they teaching you something?
Is it because you, perhaps, don’t have enough patience?
Or perhaps humility lacking in yourself?
One thing is for sure, the very fact that you see this negative point in them is because you yourself have a little bit of that. Maybe even more than just a little bit. But accept them, and take that disposition and know for absolute truths, that you and them are two separate human beings. Just like all those beautiful notes on a piano, each and every one of us can live together to create harmonious songs and beautiful musical combinations. Make today, the day that we want it to be.

Where does excitement come from? What is its origin and where does it stop? If you understand your purpose, then excitement begins within yourself. The excitement of knowing that you have a mission in this world.
This is what you have been sent down on Earth to develop: to develop all kinds of concepts in life. Development in nature, processes, spirituality, physicality, and everything that’s around you. Make it grow and make it better. Not only better than it is, but better than you found it when you first got here.
The electrifying concept of what you have to do to replenish this enthusiasm for the daily part of your purpose and your tasks, every day, is “excitement”. That’s the exciting part about life. That you can create your own excitement from what you do and what you have by valuing the process of time.
Time is precious and runs out and is something you cannot recuperate, or regain, for any price at all. No human being can ever regain the time that was lost or not used properly. Once it has passed it is gone forever and there is no way to bring it back. But, you can make sure that from now on the time that is coming will be infused with excitement.
It is that excitement that will show the implementation of the new concepts, new ideas, and new challenges you will overcome. The joy of originality, the power of kindness, and the beauty of sharing. All those things that you want to do – make them up now and have that excitement every single day.
As you wake up, know that it is a new day and you have the opportunity to change yourself and the world around you.

There are times in life when we miss someone or some place. Something that we wish we had again one more time in our lives. It can seem at times that when we had this one person or this one place where we were, we didn’t really appreciate it. That’s the way any one of us feels and you can say it, “I miss you” or, “I miss is.”
I, at times, miss some of the members of my family who are no longer alive. I miss them because of what they brought to my life the passion, capabilities; and making me see dreams which I had not ever anticipated could happen. Giving me the strength to go from day to day and giving me the enthusiasm that I needed at times when things were difficult.
When doubts came into my life, they changed those doubts into a vision and gave me the opportunity to take on a challenge and see that everything that I wanted to do, could be possible. I miss these people. One, more than anybody else, and that is my own father. At times, I wonder if he’s there and watching me, and knowing that I’m there:
What could we do together today?
What direction would we go?
What success would we develop?
The dynamic or the difference, the grace, the kindness, and the trust. He gave me the ultimate confidence when I was there. By missing someone you have the opportunity to realize how good the world is today. This is one more opportunity for you to be sure that the people that you are with you today, that you’re giving them what they deserve: Your time, love, compassion, and sensitivity. But, most of all, your heart. That way you won’t have to say, “I miss them” when they’re gone.
Everyone has to go. That’s a given, but why?
We don’t know why, but we know it happens. Since it is not an option we may as well live with that. Follow those resolutions and accept it with humility. At the same time, do the best that you can, so that these people that you might be missing one day know that today, as you are with them, you give them the best of yourself and the best of what you’ve got.
Life is not always simple – but it’s not complicated. Human beings make it complicated. We can release all the bounds and reinforce all the beauties of the world by recognizing the power we have as human beings – to love one another and create, in this world, the ultimate place to live.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 293 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I spoke to someone yesterday who felt frustrated because he was disorganized. This person told me how upset he was, he couldn’t remember where he put things when he came home, or the last details of the things he had to do, the tasks, errands, or even an important concept he had to implement in their life. It’s simple, disorganization is not to be shunned or to be ignored – it is to be mastered. In order for you to understand disorganization you first have to accept that you are disorganized. Just admit it and say, “Okay, I am a disorganized person. Now where should I start?” I’ll give you some insights as to where you can start in a simplistic way. First and foremost, note that every time you come home, whether it’s the keys to your car or the item that you carry your valuables with, make sure that you put it in one specific place. Keep this as a habit. Make that a determining factor of a discipline that you’re joining today. Next, do everything in an orderly fashion. For instance, as you undress to either take a shower or go to sleep, make sure that your clothes are put away in a specific pattern and in the specific place which they are designated to be. This will give you the beginning steps of organization. Next, as you make your work start off by making numbers of the things that need to get done. Look at that list every few hours and find out if have you kept up with your duties. Keep a list with all the things that you have set out to be at the beginning of the day. Review that list at least once throughout the day, if not more. If that list seems to be completed, then you are on your way to being organized. If you see it’s not, then change it. Realize that perhaps the list is too long or not explicit, or the list itself is not categorized and therefore impossible to finish. In the day, there are only so many things that you can do. Pat yourself on the back when you get them done, and don’t punish yourself if you don’t finish them. Just make sure that you do them within a reasonable time. That is the definition of success: Accomplishing most of what you need to do. Progress within a reasonable amount of time and this will get you organized – at least the start of it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 292 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are several forms of leadership in all of its forms. Forms of leadership in the family, the workplace, in schools, or organizations. Leadership is not about cloning anyone to fit the image or disposition of the one leader. This is absolutely incorrect. An authentic leader must embrace human diversity to be a true leader. The distinction is between people who are a positive phenomenon and things that they bring, are actually not a threat. These concepts are rooted in the leaders’ appreciation of the Creator of humanity. The G-d Himself, the Creator who created the whole world, and since G-d created so many distinct spaces, spirits, hearts, and so many different people, the unique quality of a true leader is one that accepts each and every one of them. The diversity that we see here is sewn in the very fabric of existence. We know that there are no two flakes of snow that are alike, or two people that are alike. A leader’s goal is not to have all of his or her followers look alike; rather it must contain within himself or herself the unique disposition and sole energy of each individual. Helping them and guiding them to maximize their own potential. It is very similar to how the brain itself that guides the individual limbs and organs to function as their particular nature calls for within the larger organism, the body. In a relationship, the goal is not to think alike but to think together. Thinking together means working as one unit, and recognizing there are two separate people. That’s what life is. The beauty of this life and the beauty of being around people, is accepting the way they are, and being able to share with them with confidence, faith, and joy that they are different than you. But together we can think much better. Thinking together means we think in our own personal way, each individually, but we work toward the same goal, to make a harmonious world where each and every one of us can live better. Not by singing the same note, but by expressing our individual notes as an indispensable part of the song. The song called life. The things that we did together. I hope that everyone you meet you accept, and share with them this beautiful concept. It’s worth doing it, it’s worth making our world a better place to live.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 291 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is a concept in life that every challenge we are presented with packs a certain amount of energy. To meet that challenge requires an amount of energy equal to that of the challenge from us. If the resistance is ten pounds, we need to counter it with ten pounds. But we need eleven pounds or more to overcome it.
When it comes to the tension between the matter and spirit, the spirit must apply that much energy, and more to overcome the matter. Physically speaking, two of us cannot sit in the same seat at the same time. This is because physicality, by definition, takes up time and space. In order to share with one another, we have to give up something. If we have food and we share with another, we then have less. If we have money and we share with another, we now have less. Things are measured in a quantitative manner in the world of matter. That’s just what it is.
But spiritually speaking, two people can sit in two different seats a million miles apart and their love is so deep that they’re still just like one seat. For them, to share food or money means giving but also gaining something far more precious.
The matter of spirit, and matter of work, in two different directions are entirely antithetical to each other. Matter, meaning being selfish, always holds on to its own space. The spirit, being selfless, doesn’t have a problem with giving up space any time. But the spirit understands that money runs out, food may spoil, and everything materially eventually will rot and even erode.
Anything of spiritual value, by definition, is eternal, infinite, and unchanging. This means that at every moment of life which becomes spiritualized is immortalized, and the part that you have will reach infinity.
Live physically, because that’s how we were created, but live it in a spiritual way so that you will become infinite at all times, in everything you do – with everyone you meet.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 290 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “human perfection”. Does it exist? Is it even possible, and where does it come from? You should know, there is always room for advancement in all matters of goodness and holiness. Since these are infinite, as derived from the infinite itself, there is room for improvement. In the human concept there is no such a thing as “human perfection”. A person must make allowances for others in the same way that they expect. Also, the other to have such allowances coming from them. There’s no way at any time, that any one person can say they are perfect. There’s not such a thing. The world is not perfect, but I’ll argue that is our mission in this world is - to make it perfect and to make it better. To make it what it needs to be. There has to be advances on the future. From time to time, a person only has to make up what he has failed to accomplish. Whether in the past or in the present a person should put extra effort to go a step forward as a reserve for the future so that things can be done appropriately from here on Earth. Human perfection doesn’t exist, but we can come pretty close to it by trying our best. I don’t know anyone who has reached this level, but I have met many people who have spent many, many years perfecting themselves. Giving, sharing, helping, and loving everything and everyone around them. There are some of those people that when you meet them you know that you have met someone who has done awesome things in this world. These are the people that we need to emulate so that we know and we understand how human perfection, although can never be complete, could be pretty close to it. We can meet this level of beauty, transcendence, and transformation. This is an elating concept and not often the best thing that we can do by trying ourselves and not believing in others, but it’s often the right thing to do. Not only believing in what others can do, but what we can do for the world ourselves. Let’s make this the way that we change things. Let’s agree together that this is true and we are not humanly perfect, but we can come pretty close to being the best that we can be. We can try and together we can make a beautiful world.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 289 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are times during the day, or during the week, or other at times in our lives that make a difference. There are also moments that are called the “Ah-ha” moments. We are all familiar with them. It’s the moment when the answers you’ve been looking for travel from your heart to your head and then you say, “This is it!” No questions, no interruptions, just a silent recognition of the desired answer you were asking for. Listen and follow what you need to do.
Sometimes at that very moment you make an important decision. Something that you’ve been looking for and that you’ve been thinking about. Something that has been continuously in your mind and in your heart. Something that you wanted to find out more about. In actuality it is there, and now it makes a difference. You’ve made the decision to become better, greater.
Does that “Ah-ha” moment have to happen at a specific time?
Can you create that moment?
Can you desire that moment so terribly bad that you could make it happen?
The answer is yes.
The truth is, when you know something is good, something is valuable, something has meaning and it has great value you know that you don’t need to think about it. The reason why you may be delaying the answers or taking charge of your life is because you yourself are not sure what you should be doing because of a lack of trust. It’s the fear concept that stays in front of you and reminds you that you might not be able to do all of this, and you might even fail. Let me make a suggestion to you.
There is no reason to fear that any given time throughout your life, you should fear absolutely nothing but G-d, or the Creator of the world.
Now if you say, “That’s good, but I don’t see G-d. I don’t understand G-d and I might not even believe in G-d.” It’s alright this is your opinion and you have the right to do that.
But you know for a fact that there is a Creator; there is a Higher Being in charge of this world. There are things we can’t control such as the seasons, weather, or often why we end up in some places for no absolute understanding. At least, at the time that it happens.
Whatever that Being is, that is that unknown. That’s what you may want to fear. But everything else, you have to have trust. You know for a fact that you can do anything you want.
These “Ah-ha” moments don’t have to happen when they decide – but it can happen when you are ready. It should be today. I wish that for you truly, right now.

You want to know the best way to run your life? The best way to reach the highest levels of happiness and contentment? The time to reach the ultimate level of goodness? To be the one that you dream to be? Then here is some advice that might help. “Run your own life.”
Don't let anyone or anything change the person that you are. Run your own life and don't let this be affected by the mores or the fashions or the dictates, or the direction that everybody else is going into.
You see other people smoking. You know that smoking is dangerous to your health, but it has a certain “cool vibe” around it. It makes you look different, perhaps even more important. Don't follow that.
Even if you are smoking today, why would you do that? Why would you shorten the days of your life, knowing that so many people have passed away because of the smoking? Why would you shorten your life and your ability to affect the world by your presence? Smoking is not good but you say, "My friends smoke, people around me smoke, and it has a certain feeling of authority." It's a mistake.
Run your own life. Decide what is good for yourself. Make sure that it's healthy, make sure that your mind, at all time, can benefit from it. See what it can do for you and then see what it can do for the world. If it can do good, then it's something to pursue. Smoking, in this instance, is not good. Neither is cussing or being angry, or hurting others, or lying, or cheating, or being revengeful. Many of these things are not good. Run your own life, the way you truly want it to be.
Treat others the way you want to be treated and always be kind. Pay attention to the details of the person that you would like to be and be that person. Don't let it affect you and don't let it take you over. So whether it's a vice like a drug, cigarette, overeating, or anything which is of excessive nature, run your own life. Be in charge of it, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because you deserve to be good and affect the world positively.

There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. The external self is the person who shows the outcome of who they are on the outside. It's how they dress, how they act, and the person that they are trying to impress upon others of who they really are. The internal part, is what they feel, what they think, things that are more personal to themselves. If you want your external part to reflect your internal views, they need to match. How would you do that? Very simple. Don't look so much when it comes to the external of others. Let's say you want to buy an outfit, something that you want to wear. Don't look at fashion or the way others dress; that is not you. That certainly doesn't represent your internal part, your thoughts or your dreams, or your aspirations or your being, or your soul, or your ambitions. That's somebody else's. The way fashion is today is to represent the fashion maker, or the fashion of the world. Who are you, and what do you want the world to be? That's whom you need to project to others; use your own internal feelings to decide what you should wear. Same thing with your actions, don't act according to what everybody else does. If you're at a party and everybody else is rowdy and getting drunk, and saying things which are inappropriate, is that truly you? Is that the person you are? Is that the one you're aspiring to be? Are you proud to be in that situation? If the answer to those questions is no, then you need to change that. This is the wrong environment; walk away, then be the person that you need to be. Because everyone is screaming, you don't have to. Because everyone is angry at a situation, you don't have to. Because everyone is upset at a situation, you don't have to. You can be the person that you need to be. The one that represents your internal views, your internal being, and that is the difference between the external self and the internal self. External self is the person you're projecting; the internal self is the one that you truly are. Use that to be the best that you can be and project to everyone whom you truly want them to see.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 286 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever visited the south or met some people from the south? An interesting thing that they say down there; one is “yes, ma'am” or “yes, sir.” Many people refer to each other as yes, ma'am, yes, sir. This is how they speak. It's interesting. There are also some countries that won't call you by your first or last name. They'll call you Mister and Miss. Titles that are given to people.
I find it fascinating that you can be in a place and when you ask them a question, irrespective of the person you're speaking with, they will say to you, “yes, sir,” “yes, ma'am.” This is such a wonderful way to communicate with one another. I find it so elegant and extremely polite. It is not something which they have to force themselves onto. They even have people who speak that way to their own parents. The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she'll say, "Yes, sir," or the mother will ask something of the child and the child will respond, "Yes, ma'am."
It is not a joke, it is the elegance of fascination. It is the beauty of a classy, unique lifestyle. I find it beautiful that people can interact with one another and be polite, be kind, and respectful, regardless of the situation, and irrespective of the position, and it certainly doesn't matter what you're there for. If you do this with kindness and integrity, and be polite about it, not only will you get more than what you had anticipated, but you'll do it with beauty and class. It's a different lifestyle.
You may disagree and you may say, "Well, why can't I use the words that I want to or my own feelings and say exactly what I want?" Being free and being good, and being an exceptional person does not mean you say what you want when you want to. It means to say what you need to without having to force yourself to. Being the best that you can be. So try to answer people from now on, if you think this is proper, by saying, “yes, ma'am”, “yes, sir” and watch the world around you change.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 285 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The world is made up of many different people with different characters, different habits, different personalities. It doesn't really matter where you come from or where you are, or what you've done in your life up until now. It is made up of different people. It's just what the world is.
There are three approaches in life. If you've heard about that. There's a saying “As we begin, so it goes” meaning that the way things are going and the way that you start. Great project, for instance, often begin with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and excitement, and energy, and some people are the ones that start setting down new foundations because they found something which was great and it's reflected in their actions. They like to start things, they like to innovate, and this is what they do. That's all they do, and then they walk away.
There are others, however, neither trailblazers nor revolutionaries. They enjoy jumping in, once an important project has begun. This is what they like to do. Now that the project is there, they don't have the vision to create something new. They just want to be part of the project now that it's started, and they want to move with it and they want to keep it going.
The third kind is those that neither start the project nor participate in the labor of building it. But once it's completed, once the project is there, they like to make sure that it fulfills its purpose and it maintains a continuous flow. They like for it to keep functioning.
The one that starts, the one that builds, and the one that keeps it going. Who are you? What about you? What is your life? Are you the one that starts a project? Are you the one that maintains projects? Or are you the person that once the projects have been started and maintained, you like to make sure that those projects keep going?
Regardless of the person that you are, here is one thing that I recommend: make sure that whatever you do, you do it to the best of your abilities and don't stop. If starting the project is what you like to do, go ahead. Start it, engender it, keep it going. Whichever one it is. Pick the one that you do and do it to with every single fiber of your body. That will make a difference, and the others will do theirs as well.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 284 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Some people are seeking the truth about everything in the world. They want to know everything before they can accomplish anything. "I want to know my purpose in life. I want to know what is the reason for the world to be what it is. I want to know why I'm here and what is my mission. I want to know this and I want to know that."
They want to know everything. Until they find out, until they're truly in a place where they understand, they refuse to act, accomplish, grow, or become productive. They refuse to. That's quite interesting.
This is an endeavor that will be take forever to accomplish, think about that for a moment. It's the long and roundabout way to do something which doesn't necessarily take that long. Think of it this way; let's say a person wanted to know how the body works and they're searching for the secrets of the functions of the physical body. "How does the food gets converted into blood and the tissue, and the energy, and how does it sustain life?" Now, you can you imagine if that person said, "Until I know exactly how this works, I will not be eating or drinking, until I come to the conclusion of my study."
Everyone knows that even a small reduction in the necessary calorie intake would weaken the powers of reasoning and research and cause a handicap. They may never attain their objective simply because they're going about the long roundabout way. That doesn't make sense. Some things we don't need to know. We know that our minds are limited. We can find out about certain things and certainly about ourselves. Your desire to grapple with some things which are almost above and beyond you, the unlimited, the infinite, are things you can't get to understand by yourself.
If you want to find the truth about the world, and find the real aspect of why you're here, first, do. Do what you're supposed to do. Wake up in the morning and act in a kind way, with integrity, with genuine, unadulterated 100% functions. Use the best that you have. Help other people. Go to work; do things in an honest way, do it with the right character. Improve yourself in every single step. Seeking the truth about where the world is and the reason for the creation of the world is above and beyond anyone's imagination today. One thing is for sure, you can do the best that you can. In seeking the truth, you can become the best person around. The rest will come later; that's a guarantee.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 283 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
You'll often hear people saying, "How can I be better? What can I do to be the best that I can be, or all that I can be? It's not so simple. I'm not sure where to start, besides who am I after all? I'm not very rich, I'm not very bright, I'm not very popular."
A person can look at themselves in such a negative way. They are just not too sure about what their abilities are, and they often forget exactly what they have in store for them. This makes it very difficult to achieve anything in the world. The truth of the matter is, that with your mind seek the truth and to critically examine yourself with every move that you make. Make sure that it conforms with truth and integrity of character. You can change everything about you, not just about the person that you are, but the person that you used to be, and become totally new.
Quite amazing!
Some think erroneously that in order to do that, one must pulverize mountains and shatter boulders, turn the world upside down. This is absolutely untrue. Any single act, whatever it may be, is perfectly satisfactory when it's performed with a good intent. When it's performed with kindness and patience, with the heart and the mind, hoping to do nothing but good, that's what it's all about. To achieve this, calls for intense effort. Simply learning about who you are and what your shortcomings are. You have to study about yourself, practice to become better, and then teach it to others.
Study, practice, and teach. Those are major components about how you can not only change your life, but the life of the people around you. That is the truth of the matter. It can be done. At any time we have that opportunity. It may not be as simple as it may sound, and it is not easy for everyone, but it is possible for every single person to improve themselves, their environment, and everyone around them. They first have to want to do it and then they have to do it; jump into it and get it done, and this will make the truth of the matter real.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 282 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
If you want things to be different, better, or greater know that it all begins with you. Any given day you wish, you can discipline yourself to change everything around you. You can change it all, in just one moment.
You can also do nothing if you want to, or you can even pretend rather than perform. This is all up to you – it all begins with you.
You can choose at times, if you wish, to rest; or not work.
You can entertain yourself over growing and being educated.
You can believe in delusion instead of truth or fact.
You can have worrying and doubt over trust and confidence. The choice is all up to you. Everything begins with you.
Though you need to remember that this opportunity which you have been given, has been given to you for one simple reason – to show you that you have the power to change the world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be given to you. Your circumstances are created by your past choices.
Everything that has happened to you so far is attracted by the person you have been so far. The people who search for the good life don’t need more answers or time to think how to reach better conclusions. They just need to see and know the truth, they need nothing but the truth and this truth itself will help them change.
You can’t allow yourself to think for one moment that the errors, the judgment that you’ve completed every day led you to a role path are doomed and are there forever. Don’t believe that – that is not true. You can change that. Activity is one of the most important, basic concepts that you cannot afford to neglect.
It all begins with you. It all begins with you saying, “I’m ready. I want to change. I want things to be better, greater, stronger, wiser, or happier.”

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 749 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever been given a surprise party for an occasion in your life?
It is quite amazing, astonishing, awesome, even revealing. I was given one recently by my children and I can tell you that the feeling is one of a particular beauty. When you see that people who love you gather around and have prepared for you a beautiful surprise. It was a surprise party, a celebration of success and goodness. It will be a time when you look around with amazement and goodness you and see the true fruits of many years of labor. It no longer becomes something of intuition – it’s an acceptance, a discipline, dynamic, and authentic.
That’s what it was. Sitting there, I looked around at my children, each one of them made full efforts to make this a special night.
Surprising someone can be a detrimental time for some people. It could even be sad. But, a nice surprise that is prepared from the heart to commemorate an event or an occasion, is truly a respect for goodness. It’s a celebration that awakens a passion and catapults your heart to brighten the future. Challenge all your dreams and make them what you have always thought them to be.
I thank my children and my spouse who were there on that day. I wish for you to have the same. If you want to make a difference in someone’s life, prepare for them a surprise party. You don’t have to do it all the time but if you do it with elegance and kindness. Do it with thoughts, prepare it with the little touches, this will make a difference. It will be remembered as a dream and it will be etched in their memory forever. This is what it did for me and it was so wonderful.
I wish this for each one of yours lives, because with such a dream the future is all that it can be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 748 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I met someone today who was incarcerated. I was given the name from a friend, and they asked me to visit him as they lived far away. I had the opportunity to sit with this person for quite a bit of time. Incarcerated is a difficult situation, an imprisonment to be detained, confined, jailed, or locked up. There is not much that can be done.
This person had so much time on his hands. He was very upset with what happened. I asked him, “How do you feel about being here?”
He said, “I am not mad at the world. I am mad at myself for what I did, to be here. If I had a message for the world, I would tell them to be continuously thankful to be free and do whatever they wish to do. Even if it is just to stay up late and look at the stars.” I was saddened by the fact that this person felt so much remorse, and yet had not been given freedom yet.
He won’t come out very soon, so he told me. What he did doesn’t really matter. The fact that he is rehabilitated is what counts. In the meantime, for those of us that are free, that are able to do whatever we wish – enjoy the freedom and cherish it. Cherish every moment with every fiber of your body. Use the time preciously to do the right things.
There are so many ways that you can help this world to be a better place and there are so many things that you can do to turn any frustration into a fascination. You can do it with goodness and kindness. You can help other people who need help. You can make this world such an amazing universe. It is all up to you. That is the reason why you and I were put on this Earth, so why not make the best of it?
Why not help other people get what they need? It is guaranteed that if you do this you will get everything you want. Perhaps the reason why you were sent down here is to do a favor to another person or two. We don’t know.
Make the best of it and use every opportunity that you have to be thankful. So be grateful for being free and being able to live happily.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 747 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are subjects which are difficult to discuss for obvious reasons, and one of them is death. What happens when a person passes away? A loved one. Someone with whom we were close. Someone we admired or someone that we looked up to… What happens to them? A story or a suggestion of something that you might want to think about. Assume, for whatever reason, a person whom you love has been called away into a distant provincial town. Their job there was going to be to serve to a higher capacity, and to occupy a position of honor. This would be in the most luxurious palace or royal academy. If a person was called to do such a job, their friends and family members around them would be proud to hear of such an event. They would be looking at this venture as a great opportunity. Now, take this example in our own world. This is what happens when someone passes away. They actually are called to a higher duty, a greater and better place. An amazing opportunity for them to do even more than they did when they were here with us. Suddenly now, following death is a great venture that happens to all the departed ones. Don’t be sad about it and don’t think that this is the end of the world. To the contrary – it is the beginning of eternity for them. This world is for us. Now you may say, “What about grieving?” You can grieve, you can feel, and you can miss them. But know that where they are going there’s a place of ultimate freedom. By believing in this, not only will you help them see you in a greater light, but you will help yourself become a better person from it. Know that you, I, and everybody else in this world one day will have to die. That is just the way the world is even if we don’t quite understand why and we don’t quite understand when. We certainly don’t ask for any of this. But that’s just the way things are. Once you accept these facts and live with those ideas it becomes so much greater of a purpose to be here and to know what you’re supposed to do with your days, your hours, and your minutes. Every moment that passes by, you should be proud of what they’ve done, and remember them in a good light. Always know that their mission has been completed; that is the reason why they left. We will miss them, but we’re happy for them. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 746 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times during circumstances we can be quick to judge. We look at people or their actions, and immediately, unobjectively say things and judge these people in ways that is very narrow minded.
You need to be extremely humble in relation to every person. That is to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else. This is an important concept in order to lead a good life.
Objectively speaking you might say, “How can you consider yourself less meritorious than those who at least appear to be less worthy of your own respect?” You have to bear in mind a very important concept, not to judge anyone until you actually have reached their place. You see, we all have challenges. The fact that sometimes we don’t succumb to these challenges or particular temptation where another person might doesn’t make us superior to them at all.
Who can measure the effect of someone else’s upbringing, environment, inborn character and weaknesses against temptations that one faces? We don’t know this.
We don’t know and we can’t see this. It’s often an impossible task for us to understand what some people have gone through. You may have been given the opportunity to see the challenges that you’ve been able overcome.
But you know what? That doesn’t make you special and it doesn’t make you better. It doesn’t make you greater, it just makes you lucky. It makes you a lucky person if you are not having these temptations. But, if you look deep inside you have other temptations.
You also have other weaknesses, ones that you have to look for and say, “What about those? What about me?”
Be extremely humble in relation to every person, and judge everyone favourably. Judging is passing a critique. Inspecting someone and saying that you are the one that makes the decision on who they should be and what they should do is not proper.
Not until you’ve stood in their place.
Not until you’ve had the opportunity to understand what they are going through. Even then, is it really your right to do so? I suggest you not do that, ever.

People sometimes believe that they have a tremendous amount of pressure in their lives, and they don’t know how to react to it. There is nothing more conducive to attune the mind and the heart towards consciousness that there is a Divine Presence above and beyond us. This is the reason why people should pray daily. By praying, a person should know that there is a Being, above and beyond all our consciousness, that is watching over us.
You may say, “I don’t quite see G-d when I pray.” That may be true, but to attain peace, specifically peace of mind, and general contentment, a person should pray to a higher Being. There is a Creator in this world, and through prayer and direct personal contact with this absolutely unbelievable infinite Being, G-d Himself.
One is reminded every day that G-d is actually not that far away. Not in the seventh heaven or somewhere that we can’t even see or understand. The extra Being that we’re speaking about here, is yourself along with the Creator. He is present right here, right next to you, and His benevolent providence extends to each and every one individual.
This is what you have to remember, not only when things are challenging in your life, or somewhere difficult. Not just when you’re not sure how to proceed forward or don’t know how to answer questions you’ve been asked. But at all times. You should have great confidence and you should have the belief and the trust that everything will be fine.
Peace of mind means that you know that you’ve been created for a specific purpose, and that purpose is to make this world a better place to be. The day you were born is the day that G-d decided the world couldn’t exist without you. You have been given a mission – the mission to do good things.
You may not know what your mission is, but if you look hard enough you’ll find it. You’ll see that there are so many that can use your talents, your goodness, and your time. Your reluctance to look beyond the neglect can cause you to miss the opportunity.
I suggest you take a few minutes every day and pray that you realize your mission and that you understand your purpose in this world. This will give you peace of mind. There is nothing greater than knowing that your heart and your mind, combined together, are both at peace.
Know what you’re supposed to do, then go in the direction that you were given. This way, you will accomplish all the things that you need to do to make this world a better place.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 744 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There was once a person who had acquired quite a bit of wealth, and he believed in his heart that all this success was due to his own imagination, his ambition, his strength, his knowledge, and his beliefs. His mentor, who knew better than this, once visited him, and he asked, “What makes you think you earned all these blessings and all of this money?” The man, in the most arrogant way, answered, “Well, I’m very smart, and because of my work I deserve all the wealth that I’ve acquired.” The mentor looked at him and said, “Please follow me.” So, the man did. They went closer to a window that looked outside on the street, and the mentor asked the man, “What do you see?” The man looked outside and, through the window glass, all he could see were people coming and going. So, he said. “All I see, are people coming and going. That’s it.” Then the mentor went ahead and asked him to follow him, and he took him to a mirror. He asked him again, “What do you see now?” Then the man, with great arrogance, said, “I see myself. It’s just a reflection of me, the smart person that I am.” The mentor then asked him, “What is the difference between the two? You see, the glass of the window is not coated with silver, so in that case you could see other people. Yet this mirror, it does have a silver coating, and limits your vision so that you can only see yourself.” In life, if you cover yourself with a silver lining, all you can see is yourself. Know that all the wealth that you’ve acquired is not through your own doing, but is the benevolence of the world and the Creator. Now, of course you’ve done your part, but there’s no need to be arrogant. There are many other people who also deserve wealth. Let’s not be arrogant of that. Be proud of your accomplishments, but share your wealth. This is a lesson that we have; whatever we acquire is not necessarily out of our own doing. Of course, we have contributed, and we must have done something right. But it’s not all our doing, and other people should be considered as well. They are deserving – perhaps the same amount, or perhaps more. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 743 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Our universe is made up of four separate worlds. Although they are united, they are different from one another. The first one is the world of inanimate. It is by far the greatest in quantity. As the world was created, the world of the inanimate was first developed. It includes, but is not limited to, the earth that makes up the valleys and the rivers, the sand that covers the miles of beaches, and the stones that form the mountains.
The world of inanimate doesn’t have a vocal voice, like human beings do. But, at times of an earthquake, or during a violent whirlwind, it is very clear that the world of inanimate does have a way to express itself.
Then there’s the world of vegetation. This category includes all the plants, flora, and the vegetation which is found throughout the world, even at the depths of the ocean. The enormous and ageless trees that we have found in the tropical forests, and the incredible variety of colors assigned to each plant, is a true testimony to the Creator and the Master of the Universe.
Then there’s the world of animals – from the smallest parasite to the world’s heaviest, largest mammals. The world of animals is comprised of millions and millions of varieties. They play such a vital role in maintaining our universe.
And then there’s us – humans. Humans represent the ultimate creation of the world. It is said that man was created and put in this world to create an environment where the nations can grow and flourish. The job of man is an ever-increasing challenge and it is to maintain the dignity while interacting with each human being. Now, of this category, it could never change position. We as human beings must “stay” human beings.
We cannot ever degrade ourselves to become less than human beings. We are not created to be anything other than human beings.
Let’s act properly and help the worlds in which each of us were created. Let’s keep our forests beautiful, and save the animals from being killed.
Let’s teach the humans in this world to act truly as good people. People who care, people who love, and people who want to share.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 742 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Years ago, one of my daughters was away in school, so, I wrote her a personal letter. Within that letter, I expressed the importance of time. The preciousness of how many hours are in a day and how many seconds are in an hour, and to use them properly. To invest them in goodness and brightness, and to become a different person. Then I took a letter of the alphabet – just one letter – and I chose the letter F, and what F could be. I wrote, the letter F is a simple letter in the ABC’s, but it has so much to say about life. F stands for fun, frivolities, fallacy, fashions, fads, “following foolish friends”, flashy, “first but fake”, failure, “fight fire”, “for your fate”. But the F also has a different approach. It can have foresight, to foster and fortify with fervor and fidelity on the fundamentals of faith. They will be fearless, fruitful, and they will further feature the feeling fantastic and fulfilment of your life. The same letter has so much meaning. It can be used in any way that we wish. You are one part of the world, just like a letter in the alphabet. It’s one letter of the whole alphabet. But your one part in the world can make such a difference, either as a fallacy or as a fruitful resource. It can be done to fortify the world, or to fight it with fire. Pay attention to who you are, and pay attention to the greatness of the things that you’ve done. Be careful with the direction that you go, and be careful with the decisions that you make. It can change the world. You know for a fact that you matter, even if you forget it, sometimes. I suggest you look back and pay closer attention, because life is serious and the whole world depends on your decisions. So, have a good day, and a great life.

If you want to accomplish many things in your life you need to limit how much you sleep. Now you may say, “Why is that? I love sleeping. Actually, sleeping is so good – it makes me feel comfortable, it gives me rest, and it allows me to dream.”
This is true, and all of this is necessary, but it needs to be limited. You need to sleep little because your life is precious and your friends are precious. You need to get rid of any ambiguity that you have, once you analyze your situation, you can awaken the passion within yourself that will catapult your goals and brighten your future in the way that you’ve never even thought could be possible. To do that, you need to be awake.
I am not saying again that you should not sleep, I’m just saying it should be limited. Sleep as little as you can. I personally don’t sleep very much. I love my life, and I love the fact that every single day, when I wake up, I have many more things to do, many more things to accomplish, many more things to finish. I have people to meet, places to see, things to develop, and concepts to learn. This is what the concept of maximizing your capabilities is all about.
You can challenge your dreams, nurture your passion, recognize your strength, and refresh your mind with enthusiasm and authority. Get rid of all your doubts, make sure that the dreams that you’ve had during those few hours that you’ve slept will help you achieve success. For that, you need to stay awake.
You will rise to the occasion and continuously advocate goodness by adapting to any challenge. You can do this, but you’ll have to limit your sleep. For those of you out there that love to sleep, I am not saying you should stop – I’m just saying you should think, unwind, and reconsider.
Once you do, determine the direction that you want to go. You need to desire success, and design a diligence above discipline. You will see that you will set goals with distinguished and dynamic difference. You will demand not only grace and success, but you will reach and attain the ultimate goal.
Once you recognize all of this you will see, you will be excited to go to sleep, and you will be even more excited to wake up, and finish your mission.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 740 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Do you find that you're not living a meaningful life?
Do you find perhaps, that you're lacking in having a life full of goodness and greatness?
What is it that you're looking for?
If you find it, what will there be?
Once you have found the meaning of life, will there be enough life left at that moment to live meaningfully?
I believe that it is better to live life as meaningfully as you know how and find more meaning as you go along. You will gain and so will those people you influence around you. If for whatever reason you're not able to do that, then think of the achievements that you're accomplishing. The things that you are accomplishing on a day-to-day basis.
If your tomorrow's vision does not match your last night's dreams, then today's action won't reach your tomorrow's goals. Some people tell you that if you're never satisfied with your achievements, you'll drive yourself completely nuts. Ignore them, don't pay attention to them. Look at whatever you've done and say, "If that is good, double is better."
Don't let what you've done be the final measure of who you are. The world's mission is the mission that we have in perfecting the world; there are two parts. One is “making the world what it should be; and two, stopping the world from what it should not be.” You were given that mission and the strength, the power, the intelligence, the knowledge and the ability to do so. Otherwise, you would not be here. That is a fact. But since you are here, why not do it?
Forget about finding the “meaning of life,” that's just a lot of jargon. Things that won't get you anywhere. Live a life as meaningfully as you know how. Along the way, you'll find more meaning. Look for people around you to help you, to guide you, to mentor you.
Read good books, things that will inspire you and show you how to do things better, both professionally, spiritually, and in every single way, and that's what life is all about. Finding the meaning of life is all about living a good life. How? You know how. Just stay away from anything which is not good, and that's a meaningful life.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 739 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond When I was growing up I always learned that things had to be done thoroughly, comprehensively, and in an ordinate manner. If you put in the time in what you do, and do it properly, you will find benefits in the results of your labor. The fruits of that labor will be deserved properly at the right time. There are people today, who look for shortcuts. They think that they should be rich overnight. They think they should have all the intelligence and wisdom in the world, all at the tip of their fingers. Technology has brought so many wonderful things to our world and our universe, but there are no shortcuts. If you want to be educated, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and gain wisdom you will have to work. It will take time. You will have to analyze your situation and gather all the strength that you need to understand the wisdom behind science, culture, arts, and discipline. There is no shortcut to becoming rich overnight. And even if you did to become rich that quickly, would you truly enjoy it? Most likely not. You will feel one day that you didn’t deserve it and you wouldn’t appreciate it. You have to put in effort, sweat, and energy, and you will have to put in all the work that is needed in order for you to truly feel that you deserve it, and at the same time enjoy the beauty of it. Seeking shortcuts can only be dangerous. It can change the person that you are, and make things a lot cheaper than they should be. Value the process of learning and growing, take your time. There’s no rush. That is what life is all about, gaining movement, understanding, growing, accumulating knowledge, and benefiting the whole world. Not just with what you’re learning, but with what you’re sharing. Seeking shortcuts won’t help you, and it won’t help the rest of the world. Let it go, and do things one step at a time.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 738 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I once read that that man's life is dependent on the air around him. Without air, he cannot live, and the quality of life is dependent on the quality of the air. The air itself can be compared to not only something physical but also spiritual.
In an atmosphere where there's a lack of kindness or goodness, or ethics, there is a healthy life that will be missing as well. In a place where we don't recognize that there is a Creator of the world, or that there is a Supreme Being, the environment itself is diseased. It is constantly threatened with a possibility of being stricken with contagious maladies. It's just the physical acting onto the spiritual. This is part of life.
The first general step in healing is to purify that atmosphere. When there are things which are not healthy, this is the first part to take. Purification of the air is the task of every single person and those that have knowledge. Understanding of life and other things which can change the world. Now, this is effected through the letters itself that are written in the holy books.
Whether or not you are a believer, know that the air has to be pure. That is the key. That is the importance of it. This is the way to clean up the air around you. Sometimes, a person finds themselves in an environment which is just not healthy. That environment will an effect not just on the people around there, but on yourself as well.
If you find yourself in an environment which is not clean, not healthy, not right, walk away. If you're strong enough and if you think you can do it, clean up the air around you. Clean up that atmosphere, change the way things are, change the way people speak, change the thoughts, the actions of all those around you. If you see things that are not being done properly, make that change. You will see that you will have affected not only yourself, the people around you, but also the atmosphere. That is what it means when it says that the air around you should be pure, at all times, not just once in a while, and not just in a certain particular place, but wherever you are.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 737 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
In the morning, we open our eyes after a good night's sleep and having stretched out our limbs, and straightened our back and even clothed ourselves. We are then ready to begin a new day, all fresh with vigor and strength. The miracle of rest and the renewed strength is experienced every single morning. This is when we rise from our sleep to begin a new day with renewed energy. But as in the case of many other wonders which we see daily, or at least at regular intervals like the rising of the sun, and the changing of the seasons, our attention is usually not as excited by these events. So, we often not look at them in a particular manner.
Strength is not always found in the quality of youth. Isn't that interesting? It is always found in hope and in confidence. Consider for instance, two people. One young and the other one old and both are walking in the same road. They are climbing the same mountain and with the goal far out of sight. The question is, who will reach it? The younger one, starting without the full strength but with little hope, or will it be the older one lacking in strength but full of hope? See, this youth itself will soon get out of breath and despairing of ever attaining the goal and will give up in frustration; but the older man will typically steadily forge ahead, constantly renewing the strength with hope and confidence.
You can see, physical strength will be of no avail where there is no hope. They that hope, they that believe, will renew their strength. The need for hope is greater than the need for strength. So, when you wake up in the morning and you feel refreshed, and you feel the strength coming back to you from having a good night of sleep, it's not the strength that you will need for the day.
The strength is good and it's necessary. But it's not the most important concept or aspect of your life. What you will need for the day, is hope. The hope itself will get you through the day regardless of your strength.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 736 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Man is the only living creature that has to dress himself in clothes. Have you ever thought about that for a moment? All other animals and birds are born with their clothes on, or they grow their own clothes such as furs and feathers and so on. Now, these protect them from the elements; the cold, the heat, the rain, and anything else that they need protection from.
Human beings wear clothes not just for protection against the elements. There are climates in certain parts of the world where no clothes are necessary for protection. Yet even the natives of those climates wear certain clothing, certain coverings. It's interesting, isn't it? Clothes are important because without those, a person is somewhat ashamed of who they may be.
Every decent human being has an inborn sense of shame to display his nakedness. It is a sense of inborn decency and modesty to cover his body at all times.
Modesty in clothing is considered differently for various people. Some believe they have to add on other “things” above and beyond just the regular clothing.
Decency, however, comes from the fact that a person recognizes what they wear. It is often said, that the person's personality is reflected in the clothes that they wear. How do you feel when you dress yourself? Do you feel that sense of shame or decency? Do you feel that it's appropriate for you to show parts of your body which are really only yours?
In some countries, some people wear clothing of much lighter coverings, even skimpy, for that matter. But in others, it is felt and it is an inborn or sometime the fashion, that they wear a full apparel to cover all of their parts of their body. Again, covering your parts of the body doesn't make you decent by just that fact. No. What makes you decent is the fact that you're dressed appropriately, according to what the world relates to in our day and age.
Be careful with what you wear. Be careful on how you cover yourself. If you decide to uncover yourself, be careful of the effect that it would have not just on you and your personality, but anyone around you. Covering yourself is a sense of decency.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 735 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond We are like people who are bound with ropes. When we wake up, we feel released. We are again, in control of our movements and we can get out of bed; but until that moment, we're tied. In a deeper sense, there are people who are tied hand and foot in a variety of ways. For instance, one may find oneself enmeshed in economic difficulty, or bound by financial obligation. One may find oneself a prisoner of circumstances. There are many ways to be bound up in life. Worse still, a person may be a captive of his own habits and inclination, and so they lose control over their actions. How is that? Why would anybody lose control of their actions and be bound hand and foot in these habits or inclinations? There is a way to release that. Think deeply about those actions. Some are difficult, or at least challenging. An alcoholic or a drug addict, for instance; some of these people have a disease. The symptoms these people have, need medical or often professional attention. But for others, who are not so far into the addictions, yet the inclinations or the habits have them tied down and kept them hand and foot continuously tied, why wouldn't they release those? If you think about it, if you think of the greatness of being released and being awake at all times, and being in charge of what you want to do, this is an incentive for you to be able to wake up. Wake up and be whatever you wish to be. What wake up and do whatever you wish to do. Don't ever be a prisoner of your own inclinations or habits. You should be in control of them, not a servant to them, and certainly not under the influence of those habits that are detrimental to you. Pay attention to that, and choose the path of freedom, and decide for yourself what you want to do. You can do it anytime you wish. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 734 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are many good health habits in this world. Some we learned by ourselves and some that we are taught from families, friends, or parents. Brushing your teeth, sitting properly at the table, eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away, there are so many of these wonderful sayings.
But some habits are destructive, and can, unfortunately, impede your health, or somewhat limit some of your general functions.
Smoking, for instance, is one of them. Smoking will reduce your ability to run and often to do things in the happiest way. It will also control your mind at times by dictating what type of mood you will have.
Drinking, interestingly enough, will have similar ideas. It might even restrict you from being able to have certain type of foods without being affected. Of course, someone who drinks excessively will also have a change in moods and be a totally different person.
Drugs will also make you a different person.
There are good health habits that a person should follow through on a daily basis; and those are the things that we are taught that will keep your life longer, healthier, better, in a saner way.
You might say, "This is my life. I can do what I want with it." That's true. You are entirely entitled to do whatever you wish with your health or your body.
But remember that there are certain things that need to be done in this world, as an improvement and those things were left up sometimes to an individual and you may be this individual. You may be the one that was chosen to make things better in this world, especially in your corner of the world, where you are or where you find yourself. During these situations, it's up to you. It is totally up to you to become the ambassador of these things and make it better than it was when you found it.
How would you do that if you are drunk? How would you do that if you are stoned? How would you do that if you are totally under the influence of any drugs?
You wouldn't be able to.
If you really want to accomplish in this world and be productive, and do things above and beyond what you think your mind would let you do, or you think you might limit yourself to do, you need to have good health habits. It's healthy for you and it's healthy for the rest of the world. I suggest you follow that.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 733 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I am a firm believer that many people try their best to have a different view on the world, and they strive to be good. Striving to be good is not something which is unique to one person. I truly believe that it is the goal of most people. Here’s a suggestion: you need to set forth a program for goodness, striving in the best way that you can with your mind and seeking the truth. Be able to critically examine every move that you make. Make sure that you conform with honesty and integrity. This will come through great efforts. This effort doesn’t imply that one must pulverize mountains, shatter boulders, and turn the world upside down in order to be good. The truth is that any act of goodness, whatever it may be, is perfectly satisfactory when performed with true intent. To achieve this kind of intense effort, meaning the studying of goodness in other people – this is what striving to be good means. If you bless someone when you meet them, if you need something which is beneficial to your mind, if you help another get what they need, if you help someone through a difficulty, if you do any of these things, you will have a greater life. So, why not start today? Again, if this is something that you’ve tried in the past and you have not been successful, why not try again today? Pick up the phone and call someone that you haven’t spoken to in a while, and wish them a good day. When you drive by the road today, if you happen to see an unfortunate homeless person, give him a coin or a dollar. Do all the things that you can to make this world a better place. When you get to work, tell a colleague how good they look. When you hang up the phone after a conversation with a client or a customer, wish them a good day. Bless them with good things.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 732 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A great man once said, “The one who sees the consequences of his actions will actually lead a beautiful life. They will never come to do things that are either inappropriate, or not according to the ways of nature.” By seeing future consequences of an action, a person will make the right choices. And as a matter of fact, a person will always lead a good life. Only a clear recognition – so clear that it’s actually seen as a higher understanding – of the loss that will be caused by something done inappropriately, can safeguard a person from slipping into things which are not supposed to be done. Take a moment and analyze your situation. Look at the things that you should be doing, or not be doing, and you will lead a very good life. One who sees the consequences understands that what will happen in the future may not be the right thing and therefore they will be held back from doing things which they’re not supposed to do. A person goes to a friend’s house and is offered a drink. They know that if they take this drink, this will lead them to become a different person. They may take more than one drink – and even get drunk. Now this would lead to consequences which are, in a way, unforgiven. But if you think about it in advance, and you see the consequence before the deed, you now can make the right decision as to what to do. That person is a wise person. I invite you to always think of the consequences in advance before you do any deed, and ask yourself this question, “Is it worth it? Will it change my life? What will be the consequence?” If you understand the answer, act accordingly. This will be important for you, and important for your family, for the rest of your life.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 731 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Are you worrying about things in your life? You may worry about losing some of the things that you have accumulated, or perhaps losing a close friend or a relative. Or maybe even losing an opportunity. How does worry help you in any way?
Think about it for a second, what does worrying bring you? Worrying, is a disease, and if it spreads it can be dangerous. It doesn’t bring anything at all. It doesn’t even help you. If anything, it makes you depressed, upset, and often wondering about what the future will be.
Why worry? Why not let nature, life, and the eagerness to live a good and happy life, be the one that guides you?
Worrying only makes you sad, which is a pre-emptive option to make you anxious; and anxiety brings about more worrisome times. Worrying doesn’t do anything for you but destroy you. It destroys your ability to think and grow. The potential possibilities that are offered to you become destitute as worrying completely destroys a person.
On the other hand, having faith in who you are, what you do, what you have, and the things that you’ve accomplished so far, should make you realize that life is beautiful and you have plenty of things to do and so much to look forward to. There is no reason, whatsoever, to worry. There is no benefit to it. So, why worry?
Think about the last time you worried about anything in your life. Was there any good to that? Was there any truth to the thoughts and the delusions that you had during that moment? You were just concerned. You may have been afraid, or fearful, of the future. I guarantee that if you look at every single circumstance of everything that happened to you, it all turned out pretty good.
Worry should not be part of your life because worrying does not help. Now although there are times when things don’t turn out the way you wish, they’re still okay.
Stop worrying and start living a happy life.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 730 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a word which can be difficult to understand at times. The word is ‘entitlement’. Why would anybody think that they are entitled to some things? For instance, a person says, “I’m entitled to my rights. This is part of my being here.” Or a person may say, “I’m entitled to receive what is due to me.” An entitlement means there is a certain designation. A denomination that has been specific for that person, and this has to be given. But, if you think about it, why do you feel entitled? Perhaps you believe that you deserve the things that you want. I would like to change that term. Instead of ‘entitlement’, let’s call it a different word. Perhaps think about a word like ‘deserving’ or ‘kindly receiving’. Now, there is a difference. “Deserving” means that somebody worked for something. You may say, “Entitlement could also be deserving, they could work together.” That is true. The difference is an entitlement means it’s a right, or a privilege that you demand. Deserving is something that you’ve earned by the goodness and the kindness that you’ve rendered, or something that you’ve done positively. You should always look at life in a way where things are done as a kindness, as a favor, an honor, or a privilege. Then, the Heavens will possibly decide whether or not you are entitled to what you wish to receive. Entitlement shouldn’t be between people. Between people should be love, an exchange of goodness at all times. Deeds of kindness should be constantly and continuously on your mind and in your actions. I hope that you accept this definition, and I hope that from now on you look at life, not as an entitlement, but as a gift. A gift from heaven that allows you to be the best that you can be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 729 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It has been said that a person should be humble of spirit before every other individual. The reason for this is that each person has a quality that others lacks, and they complement one another. There are some advantages that one person may have over another. One may have superiority in one area, and another might need help in that same area. This is analogist of the human body, which contains a head and feet. The feet are at the lowest point, and the head sits at the highest point, superior to all other organs. In a sense, the feet still have an advantage over the head. The head needs the feet to go places. In this way, the legs support the body. When one experiences pain in the head, one can draw blood from the feet in order to heal the head. Thus, the head is lacking without the feet. So too, everyone needs every other human being. Our world is made up of so many different people with so many different religions and so many different categories. What we must know is that there is no perfection in this world without other people. The only way this world can be enhanced is by living with one another in peace and love, and contributing to one another. We have to transcend the differences between the heads and the feet. There is no difference between us – we’re all the same. Let’s make this place a heavenly place. A place where goodness, kindness, and greatness reside at all times. This will make such a beautiful world for all of us. I hope you will understand that, and you will contribute today by extending yourself with a good deed to another human fellow. It doesn’t matter if you know them or not, what matters is that you do good, and keep on doing good. That is what life is all about. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 728 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A wise man taught that everything we see, whether good or bad, is really a reflection of ourselves. If it was not, we would simply not see it. This phenomenon is part of the kindness that the Creator has given to us. This is the way that He teaches us a lesson in life.
Most of us have difficulty hearing or finding out from others that we have a flaw, that we don’t recognize. In order for us to figure it out in a way that we would accept, the Creator sets up a confrontation with a person who exhibits the same flaw in some form. When we see it, we react by saying, “How terrible is that! I can’t believe it.” But then it dawns on us that we exhibit the same type of behavior, maybe in a different form.
The same is also true with positive things. We recognize a positive characteristic in others because we have it in ourselves. If we didn’t have any element of it we would not be able to recognize it. In other words, you are what you see and you see what you are. This is all about facing yourself. That’s what the world is.
It’s interesting that many people who passed away in Germany, during the war in the 1930’s, could not and did not recognize the evil at that time. The reason for this is because they had not ever done it themselves. They could not fathom that anyone could murder in cold blood while being so critical of the things they were doing – and feel so good about it.
You see, if you’re incapable of crying, it’s impossible to imagine that someone else is capable of it. There are atrocities today that we can’t even relate to because we are not capable of doing such things ourselves. The same is true for goodness or holiness. Many of us are cynical because we feel that we’ve never met someone who’s truly good or truly honest. But the truth is, we have, and it is you.
You can face yourself by knowing that you are truly good, if you want to. If you do good. By doing good yourself, you will see good in others and you will share that same feeling. They will see the good and you will see the good. They will become better and you will become better. The whole world then affects each other. Higher, better, and stronger, without any end to it. This is the reason for the world’s creation. Make it happen.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 727 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure you’ve heard of the word ‘arrogance’. This word describes the ego of a person who is pretentious, vain, disdainful. Ego is a disease, it’s something that bothers the whole world, yet we live with it. Many people think it’s quite alright to be arrogant. They believe that everything that they do is better than anything else; that anyone else does. They believe that everything they do is better than what anybody else does. Why be arrogant?
When I was younger, I learned that words that come from the heart, enter the heart. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to better understand the wisdom of these words, and their profound meaning.
I decided to create these lessons some time ago. The reason for doing so was an attempt to share with as many people as possible ideas, feelings, and concepts that could be helpful to listeners.
Now you must know that these lessons I write about, I have learned from different people. They were brought from many different sources including close friends, family members, mentors, and others.
I realized the importance of sharing simple, yet focused, messages with as much clarity as possible. I invite you to read to them here, and realize that arrogance is not about the other person, it’s about you.
I myself must admit that I also had arrogance. At one point in time I thought I was bigger than I am today. Then I realized the world is so much bigger, and my purpose in life is not to be arrogant – it’s to be kind, sharing, giving, helping, and thoughtful. I started creating these lessons, which has affected me as well.
I invite you to create your own podcasts or book; but you don’t have to create podcasts or books to become better, or change your life. However, you do have to be kind to the world and realize that arrogance is a disease and has no place in your world, or in our world. You can have pride – that’s good. But not arrogance. Change your ways, and you will change your life.
Become a giving person. Share the knowledge that you have, and share the good things that you were given. That is your mission. We all have something to share. I hope to see you very soon in the same place that I am today, a place of goodness and kindness.
Thank you for reading.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 726 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I was asked a question, “How do you control your life? How do you discipline yourself? What do you do to dominate the day? How do you manage and rule everything that you do?”
When you take control of your life, the first place to start is with time. Wherever you place your hours of the day, this is where your time control starts. But, you cannot control time until you first control yourself.
Life is like a coin; you can spend it any way you wish. But you can only spend it once. So, you have to ask yourself:
Where have you placed your heart?
Where have you placed your mind and your soul?
What is important to you?
What was the reason why you entered this world?
If you can answer these questions then you’ll be able to control yourself, and you will know that you have to do much better than you did yesterday.
When is your time for studying, for prayer?
Do you reserve time for your family?
Do you have time to help the world?
Are all the whims of the world bothering you?
Are things that are happening outside of you controlling what you do?
If the answer is ‘yes’, then you need to refocus and discipline yourself. Realize that your time is the accomplishment of your mission. This is what you have to do in life. Just like how you can control time, you can also change and affect the world by what you do.
Everything that you do will affect everything else. By taking control of your time you will control your life. This is why time is the first place to start.
For those who ask, “How do you make changes in your life?” First understand the importance of time control. Once you understand that, realize that you can never catch up, and never regain the time that was past or lost. From now own, you need to be very careful to make sure that your time is used wisely. Understanding this will allow you to control your day, and start changing.
Everything around you can be changed – for the good, and for the better. So, make the best life that you can. It’s all within your power. That is your mission in this world; to make this place better than it was when you arrived.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 725 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond People often wonder what a parent should be. How can we teach a parent? How do we become a parent? What should a parent learn, and where should a parent get their information to become a parent? The truth is, there isn’t any book out there that you can read that can make you a parent. To be a parent means living by example. It is who you are. By being a good person, by being kind and giving, by being understanding and always loving, then you will be a good parent. Parenting is not a trick. It’s not a concept or something that you learn as a technique or procedure. It’s not a program, and it’s certainly not a classroom that you set up in your home to show your children who you are. Parenting is the living example of the person that you wish to be and who you strive to be every day. It’s greater than life. It’s your being, it’s you inside. It’s a gracious and loving human being who wants to give at all times, unconditionally. You live by this example, not just to the children, but to the world as well. One of the beautiful things about being a parent, one of the concepts that you can teach your children, is about giving, sharing, and being charitable. When you have guests, show them that you care for them as though they are part of your family. Treat everyone with a certain amount of beauty, and honor, in a distinguished way. Treat everyone that way, and be forgiving and gracious. Be gentle and tolerant of everybody and everything around you, and you will be a good parent. That’s what parenting is. Parenting is not an ideology, a chapter in your life, or a course you take. Parenting is the way you live your life every day. This, in turn, will teach your children how to become good parents. They themselves will learn from you, and your example, as they were grow up. They will teach these things to their own children, and so on, and so forth. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 724 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The world that you live in is actually a world that you’ve created by being the person that you are. Everything that you attract around you is by the way that you act. To be affectionate, for instance, means to be kind to another, to be charitable, and compassionate. It means that you can care about other people, even more so than you care for yourself. To be considerate and cordial about the things that are being asked of you. To give with great amount of kindness but without any intended or non-intended construed ideas in your mind. Just giving for the sake of helping. To be courteous, friendly, gentle, loving, thoughtful, and even tolerant. All of this can be summed up in one word: ‘kind’. To be kind means all of these things, are packaged in one concept. Why not be kind? Why not be that way all the time? Even if, at times, you wonder if it is the right way to be. Even in circumstances where people may not let you be that way. Why not train yourself to always be kind? Let the kind person within you change the world. Make a new, kind environment for everyone. You can create it. What you live around, and who is around you, is only because of you. So, why not create that environment, and keep it constantly beautiful at all times. The world that you live in, and the world that everybody will inhabit around, will be so much more beautiful. Remember these words and, if there are too many, just reread this passage. That’s how simple life is. You can learn, you can grow. And all of us together, we can make this world the best place in the universe. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 723 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Often people ask the questions, “What kind of person will I be remembered when I pass away. What will they say about my life?”
You don’t have to wait until you pass away for things to be said about you. Why don’t you have it done today? Why not be the person that you would like to be?
There are many character traits that a person should have that are of, not only beauty, but also of honor and dignity. Another trait is to be merciful. A merciful person is charitable, somebody who gives of himself, and gives of his possessions with many people around them. Another character trait is to be compassionate. To understand that not everyone’s been blessed with easily or great things as they may seem or may have.
Therefore, you have to have compassion about that. Another character trait is to be forgiving. If people have done things which were not appropriate according to your interpretation, why not forgive them? Why not move on? Let it go. Why should it change your attitude about them? Be great, and be understanding – and just forgive them.
Another character trait is being gracious. Be gracious about what you have, and share it with others. Being gracious and compassionate together means that you are grateful for what you have. You can be kind and lenient. Gracious means having it all, but doing it with a certain lifestyle. It’s a unique way of living.
Gracefulness is something that you can have and acquire. It’s not something that most people are born with, but it’s a trait that can be taught and learned. Once you reach this level you realize how wonderful you become. Not because of you, but because of others.
There’s a certain grace to acting, talking, walking, thinking, living, and eating. Everything becomes different.
Why not be this wonderful person? I suggest you try.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 722 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Today is a very special day for me, it is my birthday. A birthday is a beginning; it is a window to the chance of a lifetime. It is the chance to fulfill a unique mission. Now, a birthday can also be celebrated with receiving gifts, gathering friends, and especially having a birthday cake. But, on this day, it’s also a chance to remember the day that the major event that started your life occurred years ago. Celebrate, give thanks, and reflect upon how well you’re doing for the calling that you’ve been given. G-d has invested a tremendous amount of energy once again, on your birthday. This very special day, my birthday, it’s exactly what He’s done for me, as well.
A birthday is a time to celebrate birth itself – the joy of life. It is also an occasion to rethink your life. How great is the disparity between what I have accomplished and what I can accomplish?
Am I spending my time properly?
Am I involved in things that distract me from my higher calling?
How am I moving along in my day?
On your birthday, you should gather your family and friends and study something meaningful together. There is no greater way to celebrate your birthday than to commit a special act of goodness, a kind deed. Something that you did not do yesterday. Not because someone is forcing you or because someone suggested it, but because it is simply the right thing to do. Because in your goodness, your soul, wants to express its thanks for everything that you’ve done.
I would like to take this opportunity to use this beautiful energy and time that I’m given, to share it with you. On this special day, I would like to bless you with good things.
May you be granted a very happy and healthy year, each and every one of you; filled with abundance, materially and spiritually.
May you have clarity and goodness in your life.
May G-d Almighty bless you with good things and endeavors that will be fruitful and beneficial to the world. May you be blessed with excellent health.
May you be showered with kindness, goodness, and success on this auspicious day.
May awesomeness come to your life in every way and in everything that you decide that you wish to do.
May G-d bless you for listening, and may you always succeed in your endeavors.
Thank you for reading and happy birthday to me, and to all those of you who have a birthday today.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 721 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Bashful could mean shy, or maybe even embarrassed. Some people even say that a timid person could be called bashful. But, there is a beauty in being bashful. By being shy, a person becomes more humble, more reserved and they watch. They watch what they say. They watch what they see. They watch where they go. A bashful person is conscientious about who they are, and where they would like to be. A bashful person is someone who has reservations about exposing everything to the world. A bashful person is someone who knows their beauty and their inner strength and they only share it when it’s appropriate and necessary. A bashful person keeps things to themselves, not because they are timid, or don’t know. They keep it to themselves because they realize that not everything has to be given over. Some things have to be kept secret. These secrets are the treasures that a person accumulates over a lifetime. A bashful person is someone who does not always express themselves in front of everyone else, even though it may seem that they should. They do it when it is not only necessary, but also to defend a virtue. A bashful person is someone who has a character of kindness; someone that accepts things the way they are. A bashful person is someone who has a tremendous amount of love and shares it when it is appropriate or necessary. If you are bashful, or if someone says that you are a bashful person, take it as a compliment. Teach others the beauty and the inner strength that you have within yourself. If you’re not bashful, then you might want to learn from what I’ve written today. Learn what a true bashful person can be. Perhaps, slowly but surely, you can implement these ideas into your life, and change some of your ways. You will see how much goodness there is in being bashful, and how much greatness you can bring to the world. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 720 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I would like to share with you a very important concept; something which has an unprecedented amount of reasons why it should be said and understood by everyone. When you say a word, whomever you may be, wherever you are, whenever you say it, and whatever the word is, each word that you utter creates an angel. These are called “angelic words”. Each word has a celestial, heavenly, radiant, saintly touch to it. Each word that you utter has the power to affect the whole world and even the whole universe. Every time you say something, whether it is a word you should be saying, or one you should avoid, it creates an angel. These angelic and absolutely ethereal beings, are truly powerful. They come into the world and make the world be what it is today. You have the power, every time you say any word, to affect the world in a positive manner. You can elevate it, you can make it shine, and you can make things around you to be so much better than they are today. By speaking positively, by uttering these words that are proper, that are radiant, that are worldly yet heavenly at the same time, you can create beautiful angels. These angels will stand by you at all times, and stand by the things that you’ve said and affect the universe around you. Many people have rightfully said that the things that people say can be erased, changed, or forgotten. The angels themselves, once they’re created, are never forgotten. They are there forever. Why not say beautiful words? Why not use the power of communication to the utmost level, and only speak words in a positive manner, to affect the world in a beautiful way? Why not live a life of giving and goodness? Why not continuously aspire to greatness? Why not become continuously, G-dly? Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 719 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever been in the situation where things are going quite well for you? The sun is shining, business is good, life seems to be at its ultimate peak. But, then you meet someone with an attitude, and you wonder, “Why does this person have an attitude?”
Let me suggest a way to look at this person. You have to think of that other person, and yourself, as a “work in progress”. None of us are “finished” products. We all have the timeless things that we have to work out in our lives. The things that we have to make better.
Let me relate a story to you that might illustrate it better. A person is walking in the street and meets someone on crutches, leaving a medical specialist’s office. The passer-by, could think that the specialist is actually not good. After all, this person came to the specialist, and was obeying all the doctor’s instructions, yet he still needs crutches. How is that possible? Now, imagine that it was explained to the passer-by that before the patient was in the doctor’s care he couldn’t move his feet altogether. He was completely paralyzed. The doctor actually reduced the paralysis, and he strengthened the patient to the point where he was able to use his feet.
As time went on, things improved and he got so much better, that it is now easier to walk. Even though he still needs crutches, there may be a time if the patient follows the doctor’s advice, that he will get rid of the crutches and be completely healed. Now, when you look at that person – it’s a “work in progress”.
When you see someone with an attitude, know that perhaps that they are being healed from something that they’re coming out of. A challenge, a difficulty, or something that hurt them in one way or another. They are a “works in progress”. They’re trying their best to become better. It’s not always easy and it may take time. Just as in the story, by following the instruction of the specialist, the work in progress will become better, and so will you and the patient.
Let’s look at each other with a kind eye, and give an opportunity to let each other’s work in progress be completed, so we can live a better life. Give the opportunity to everybody, to be the best that they can be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 718 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Slander is a difficult character trait that naturally destroys so many people. Defamation disparagement, or smearing someone else’s reputation. This is absolutely and unequivocally a trait that a person should always fight against. There is something else that is related to slander and that is the “shade of slander”.
There are times when it’s really not quite slander, but it is similar. For instance, it is considered a shade of slander when someone speaks favorably about a colleague in the presence of his enemy. Because, this will surely prompt them to say disparaging things about that person. It’s also a category of a shade of slander when a person who relates slander in frivolity and jest when speaking about someone else. Even though it’s not hatred, just speaking in the way that is disparaging of another, is a shade of slander.
The more you consider this concept you will see that when you pretend to say something innocent, such as telling a slanderous story about someone else, you make it important for everyone to hear.
Slander includes disparaging remarks in the presence of a person, even though it may not be that specific person. Why would you do that? Why would anyone have a character trait which disparages someone else?
If this is something that you are privy to, or something that you have within you, I strongly suggest that you get rid of it. Work your hardest. Work harder on yourself than you work on your job. Because if you work on your job you’ll make a living, but if you work on yourself, you will make a fortune.
In life, it’s not what you get that matters, what matters is the values that you accumulate and the person that you become. To be slanderous about anyone else is not good. You should not have it on your conscience, your life, or anything related to you. Let’s be good. Let’s do things the right way, and let’s do it in such a way where everybody benefits in this world. It will be a much better place to live and then, you will be proud of your actions.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 717 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever experienced a true sunset or sunrise? Quite stunning, something which is of immense beauty and almost indescribable. Indeed, you must use all your senses to witness the sunrise, not just your eyes. Otherwise, you won’t be able to understand it, to fully grasp it, or realize what it is.
There is a moment just before the flowers open where it looks like the world is holding its breath. This is quite amazing, something beyond imagination, something beyond exhilaration. It is something of special value. To be able to understand the strength, the energy, and the beauty behind the world often you must stop and look. Truly feel the beauty of the world.
This isn’t just a poem about the world; this is about understanding how the Creator has designed an immense and absolutely unparalleled, unprecedented type of beauty. Every detail, even a blade of grass is controlled by this Creator, everything.
Why? To give us a beautiful place for us humans to live.
Anyone who would think that this just happened by itself and that the world is nothing more than a conglomerate of haphazard happenstance, is surely mistaken. How could it be that all these things happen just by themselves? The sun does whatever it wants and the moon shines wherever it wishes, and the flowers grow however they would like to? It’s impossible. Think about it.
This whole world is controlled.
Now, nature and all of its magic has a beginning and an end. It has a time in a space, and it has a Commander. Once you realize who we are in this world and why the world was created, it becomes a beautiful harmony and a symphony of which we are the players. The music that we make is shaped by the notes of the acts and deeds that we perform.
Indeed, it is indeed a beautiful world.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 716 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I was making my way downstairs one morning, when I saw a beautiful sight – my wife sitting there on the couch, next to my daughter. Now you see, my daughter is also a mother, and there they were, both of them sitting down and speaking about life, children, husbands, things that mothers speak to daughters about. This is the “circle of life”. Children may wonder at times if their parents are truly on their side, whether they’ll ever grow up to be like their parents, or if their parents truly understand them.
But then these children grow up, and they themselves become parents. The full circle of life comes around and lets them know that whatever their parents taught them was always the right thing. So, there it was, that beautiful picture of my wife and my daughter conversing with each other. Both of them looking into each other’s eyes, finding the awakening of a passion.
Capabilities and the dreams, the passions of strength, the enthusiasm that they had shared together in raising both of their own families. The dreams became an ambition, turned into a vision, which became a goal, and then finally a truth. A reality.
It is a beautiful sight to see the “circle of life”, to see our children themselves become parents. If you are that child, and you are now becoming a parent, realize that this is a gift that you’ve been given. Realize today, the whole purpose of life is that you one day become mature enough, and strong enough, to be just like your parents.
We don’t always pay attention to what our parents say. Sometimes we forget, and at times we even fight it. But with the discipline of life, challenges, opportunities, obstacles, and things we experience, we become more mature, and we understand that all of these occasions that have gone by are actually nothing more than a pathway to becoming a parent. When the circle of life occurs, and you find yourself to be that parent, realize that you have gone through the same path, as will your children, and your children’s children.

Have you ever met people who have been tagged as “being moody”? This means that they are downcast, or they change from good to not good, and become melancholic sometimes.
What causes this mood change? It could be their circumstances, the way they feel about themselves, or a lack of self-worth. Perhaps they envy others, or are experiencing difficulties and obstacles, that they feel cannot be overcome.
When you meet someone moody, instead of just saying, “This person is moody. I don’t want to be around them.” Why not get closer to them and ask them, “What caused the change in your attitude?” Once you find out about what caused that change, why not help them see things in a different light?
Bring goodness into their life. Help them see themselves greater than they are. Help them and guide them through their difficulty. People are not moody, they just go through various experiences in life, which affects their attitude. Sometimes it is above and beyond themselves. They just cannot control it, or at least they think they can’t.
Since you have the ability to do so, why not help them understand themselves? Get close to them and help them. Assist them in overcoming that obstacle. Show them the “good” in life. Show them the true good, how they can overcome obstacles, how these challenges are temporary, and you will see that this person will no longer be moody. As a matter of fact, they may become joyous all the time.
They will change, and you will have affected their life as well as your own; become better, stronger. And because you’ve helped them, you have helped yourself, and you’ve helped the whole world become a much better place for everyone to live.

A wise man once said, “A person should create their environment. If he does not he should check his own baggage carefully to see whether his own affairs are in order. If he fails to create an environment, he will break and splinter. He must demand of himself, what am I doing in this world?”
Ask yourself the question: What is your purpose? What is it that you were created for? And what can you do to make this world a better place? A place where everything around you becomes greater.
Since you are given the power to create your own environment and create new environments, shouldn’t you be looking for this wherever you go? Accept challenges and take full responsibility. At times, you must love criticism and learn from others. You have to have good friends, be flexible, keep an open mind, and forgive yourself. You must say little and do much. You must also help one another. You have to love peace and love others just as you love yourself. You have to be hospitable.
There are so many things you can do and so many directions you can take that will enhance the environment you live in, and even create new environments. Wherever you go, if the environment that you are in is not good, if the people that you are around are not helping you grow, if things that you see are not right, then create “your” environment. Create it from scratch, change it, and make it better. You have that ability, otherwise what would be your purpose here on Earth? What would you be here for?
You can create your own environment with the tools that you were given, so I suggest you start today. Wherever you are, create an environment of goodness, greatness, kindness, and honor. Do not only become the one that creates the environment, become the mentor to other people and show them how they can also create a better environment for themselves and for those around them. Know that you have the power to do that, and continue to do it, every day of your life, until the day you can no longer breath..

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 713 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s a story about employees in a company who one day reached their office and found a big sign which said, “Yesterday, the person who had been hindering your growth in this company, passed away. We invite you, please, to join all the funeral processions in the room downstairs.”
At first, the employees became sad for the death of one of their colleague. But then, after a while, they became curious. Who was this person who hindered their growth? Who could it be?
Downstairs in that room, the excitement was so great that security agents were ordered to control the crowd, and make sure that they walked one-by-one by the coffin. As they waited their turn to see the body, they thought, “Who is this person who was hindering the progress? Well, at least he died. But let’s see who it is.”
As they got closer, they looked inside of it and they became speechless.
What they found was a mirror. A mirror inside the coffin, and everyone who looked inside could see themselves. Next to the mirror a sign read, “There is only one person who is capable of setting limits on your growth. It is you. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness. Your realization and success are all in your control. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life doesn’t change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your partner changes, or even when your company changes. Your life changes when you change.”
You only go beyond your limiting beliefs when you realize that you are the one responsible for your life. The most important relationship that you can have is with yourself. Stop hindering your growth and success? When your thoughts are to G-d, then your world will become so much better when you are in charge.
Be that change. Make the capabilities that you were endowed with and take them to a level of an unprecedented level. You can do it, because you deserve it.

We are told that when the world was created, two commandments were given: Guard and work.
What does guarding the world mean? It means making the world what it should be. The world has a purpose, and there are things to be fixed for it to become the ultimate place to live.
What about working? Working means preventing or stopping the world from being what it shouldn’t. This is really the purpose of men being on Earth: “To make the world what it should be, and prevent it from becoming what it should not.”
With these thoughts in mind you now have a different purpose. Because if this is the purpose of the world, then wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you see, whatever you say, and whatever you think – should all be about you making the world what it should be. It is easy to know this, because the world has so many beautiful things to offer us.
Preventing, or stopping it from becoming what it should be, is also easy. All these negative things hindering our world from growing. The injustice, the cruelty, the terrible things that happen – that’s what we should work on, and stop it. Guard the things that are good and keep them going. Support all the good things.
With this in mind, and with constant work, by guarding, the world will be a better place. You will live happy and everyone around you will live happy.
Remember these two things: Guarding, and working. Do so continuously, with every fiber of your body. Put everything that you’ve got into this and your life will change, and so will everybody else’s.

There are great lessons to be learned by watching various things in the world. Look at a deer. The deer has a particular characteristic, its hide does not constrain its flesh. The extremely taut skin of the deer does not inhibit its growth, but on the contrary, it adapts itself and conforms to it. What this means is that the priority must always be of quality over quantity.
At times, you will have decisions to make. There are things that you have been told or that you have learned to do properly. They may seem like restrictions at first, but they are the right decisions, and you know that. Yet, you may find yourself alone; the only one doing what is right, and you might ask, “Why should I do that? I’m the only one doing it.”
“Look at what everyone else is doing. Why can’t I be like them?”
Here is where everything changes... What you do should be of quality not quantity. You may be the only one. You may be the one person that does it, and it may seem like everybody else does it right. But, if you know it’s not right, then don’t worry about them, and don’t worry about the amounts. Don’t worry.
Don’t let things be that way. Even though you are the only one, if what you are doing is right, then keep on doing it. It is quality over quantity. In this case, it’s not the majority that rules what is right over wrong. Even if you are the only one, keep doing it. Just like the deer, make sure that what you are made of does not inhibit your growth, but instead adapts to the things that you need.
Be the person that you need to be all the time and everywhere. Be proud of it, and don’t let anything stand in your way under any circumstances.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 710 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Often, it has been said that times change and with the changes of time, people should change. My opinion on this is, that times change but values don’t. Such as the value of gratefulness. Grateful for everything that happens in your life. That should never change, and if anything, it should become stronger. Or the value to pray daily, that doesn’t change either. The value of knowing who you are, what you do, and the things that you’re capable of doing. Of setting standards of integrity, trust, and honesty. The concept of knowing your strengths and weaknesses while believing in yourself. Acquiring of a mentor, being honorable, living with happiness. Overcoming anxiety, controlling your anger, and understanding the difference between pride and arrogance. These values don’t change. It is true that times change. During the passage of time, many, many new things happen, but not the values of being patient, committed, motivated, and being a good person. All this will never change so stick to your values. Once you understand those values, make yourself the best that you can be. Stick to them with a vengeance, and don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way. This is who you were destined to be, a person on earth living a beautiful life and making necessary changes. Making your place on Earth a G-dly, divine space for everything to be better than it was when you came. You have the ability to do that, so why not use it? Why give up on your strengths and talents? This is the whole reason why you and I were created. Even though times change, don’t let your values change, ever. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Inspiration: Above and Beyond – Day 240
People ask:
How can I have the confidence that everything will work out for the best?
Perhaps I don’t deserve the best?
Perhaps I’ve already messed up so badly that there is no return for me?
Perhaps G-d almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, has given up on me?
What should I do? How would I know?
These people are confusing trust with faith. Faith is something you may not have, but trust is something that you do have.
Trust is when in, times of trouble, you cleave so unshakably to the heavens that you could pull them down to Earth. Trust is a mighty, heroic bond. Trust changes who you are, and what you deserve. You have the ability and the possibility to change anything you wish. You can change your direction and destination at any given time. This is available to anybody at any moment, no matter where they were the moment before. That is trust.
Don’t be confused. Don’t think that you’ve lost all of your opportunities, or that you have nowhere to go. When these challenges happen, and things seem so grim that you don’t know what is going to happen, pull your thoughts together. Pull down from Heaven all the trust that exists in the universe and let it imbue you with everything that you have. You will see that it was there all along. You just did not know it. Don’t be confused, be certain of who you are. Be confident that it will all work out. Yes, there will be potholes in the road and there will be challenges and obstacles, but you will be able to overcome them. Nothing is given to you that you cannot overcome. Never.
Live your life with a full knowledge, understanding, and belief that you can find trust in everything you do, and you will find success.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 239 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is a story about a king who arrived at one of the cities in his kingdom. The king was greeted by the wealthiest man in time, who said, “I would like to ask his majesty to please stay in my spacious residence. I have allocated an entire wing so you can use it for the duration of your visit.”
The king responded in a strange way; he said, “There’s no need to give me an entire suite. One room is enough. Just one room, but it should be completely mine.”
The rich man didn’t understand that. He said, “I’m willing to give your majesty my entire residence just so that you can stay wherever you wish.”
Again, the king turned down the man’s offer, and said, “I don’t want you to give me your entire house. I told you, I want that one room to be completely mine. That is all I need.”
This is really what people want from each other. Most people don’t ask for very much. Most people only want one thing, and that is to be loved, love that is entirely their own. When you ask for something from someone, all you want is respect and the privilege to be listened to.
When you’re trying to love someone else, love them in an unconditional way. Love them unequivocally, without asking for anything back in return.
This is not something that needs to be great, big, or spacious. Like the king said, “I just want one room, but it should be entirely mine.”
Next time you meet someone you love, or someone you like, this is all they want from you. A moment of your time. But, during the time they are spending with you, it should be entirely about both of you.
With this thought in mind, we need to relate to the people that we love, people that we cherish, people that we want to be with. When you are “with” them, be there without anything else intercepting, interrupting, or changing the focus of your mind. That is all they need from you, just one room, but it should be their own.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 238 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The question was asked once, “How do you fight evil?” The character, the evil, the self-pride. The self-admiration, how do you break that. There are two ways. First is to fight it head-on and to contemplate the advantages, or disadvantages, of following through. The second way, however, is to “elevate yourself”. Let me illustrate with a story I once heard. The wind and the sun once debated which one was stronger. The wind decided to show its strength, pointing at a person standing down below. It said, “Watch and see how I can blow this person’s clothes off of his body.” Suddenly, the wind started blowing strongly. The man, feeling the powerful gust, buttoned his shirt and coat tight. The wind responded by blowing even more ferociously. The man then countered by tightening his belt and the wind had no choice but the give up. When the sun’s turn to demonstrate his abilities came time, the sun shined its rays. As the temperature began to warm up, the person loosened his belt, unbuttoned his coat, and finally removed it entirely. As long as the person is action with the framework of his “own self”, he will be unable to leave his ego. Attempting to wage war against his ego can actively make it even more difficult, challenging or make it worse. When the light of kindness, goodness, and reason shine within the person suddenly the trivialities disappear by themselves. By trying to get rid of your ego, don’t fight it. This is the way that results can be reached. If you want to control your ego and want to be better than you were before, and become a person of goodness and kindness, accepting them this is the way to do it. Not like the wind but like the sun, with warmth. Now let’s go and get it done. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 237 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Sometimes a person faces a challenge, and they ask the questions:
Why is this challenge happening to me?
Why are things the way they are?
Why is it not exactly the way that I want it to be, or that I wish it to be?
I once asked my own father, “Why do things happen the way they do?”
This is the answer he gave me: “You never know.”
You never know when good fortune comes your way. You never know when things are one way or another, or any direction that they’re going.
You never know the value of time.
You never know why things happen.
But here’s what you do know: Everything happens for a good reason.
You should remember that when good fortune happens to you it is because you deserve it. And when it seems that it’s not a good fortune, or you find an obstacle, or a challenge, or possibly an opportunity which has no end to it, it’s all for the good.
You never know when good fortune comes to you, but you should know that it’s all good. This is the way the world was created. We don’t have a lot of say in that. The good Lord, up above in Heaven, said this is what He wanted. Why? We don’t know.
Now you may say, ‘I don’t have to believe in G-d. I don’t even believe in another being.’ This is fine if that is what you wish, but you will never know why things happen. They happen if you accept this explanation, for good reason. The source for everything that happens is good.
Everything happens for “good”, what does it mean? It means that if you live a life of goodness, of dignity, of character, of kindness, and originality, you will live a good life. You’ll be happy and you’ll have a great day every day. Know that while you will never really know, you really don’t need to know.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 236 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is an interesting concept that when a philosopher sees a miracle, he will look for a natural explanation. The reason for is because as a philosopher, he has to form a belief based on knowledge, understanding, and a vision of what he sees and can comprehend with his mind. Yet, when a truly gifted person, a special soul, sees a miracle and they see nature, they see no comparisons whatsoever, and no difference whatsoever. When you look at nature, you have to look for the miracle within nature. ‘Miracles’ themselves are something extraordinary, above and beyond. Something of an almost unexplainable way. That is what nature is we just see it all the time. We walk around and see the trees, the ocean, and the sky, and we accept it as part of life. We don’t see that as a miracle, we accept it as nature. But you see, for these entities to be alive and function in such an extraordinary manner you have to acknowledge the reality that these are miracles. Isn’t it a miracle that the sun rises every single day and has an unprecedented heat that warms the Earth? Isn’t it a miracle that the skies throughout the universe are permeated with stars? Isn’t it unbelievable to see these things and to think that they are just normal, natural occurrences? Don’t be like the philosopher who sees a miracle and looks for a natural explanation. Instead, when you see nature, look for the miracle within it. Understand it, believe it. Know that your life is special and unique, and make that that as another miracle to understand. You will then be able to live a divine life just by understanding the things that are beyond you. So now, make it the best, make it the greatest, and turn nature into a miracle.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 235 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What is the definition of a talent? Talent is a special natural ability, an aptitude, or a capacity for achievement and success. Some people don’t claim to have any talent. We all have talents. The question is why do some of us outshine others with a talent that we have? Those among us who have been blessed with special talents, skills, or have received some unexpected divine gift should understand that the purpose of this “gift” is not that we use it for selfish purposes. To the contrary, we should use it to construct a better world, a greater place, and an amazing environment. A home where G-dliness, and goodness, and greatness would be able to enhance our personal lives through the study of wisdom. We have been given a Bible, a book of instructions. You can either use it and read it, or forget about it. If you have a special talent, however, you cannot afford not to use it or share it. That is just not right. Use your talent. Now you may ask, “Who has talents, and what kind of talents?” Everyone has talents. Everyone has the ability to use those talents above and beyond anything that they ever imagined. There is not one human being who is born without special talents. Each and every human being is unique. That in itself is a talent, and the gift that was given to us—each and every one of us—is for us to develop our gifts, and these abilities, and aptitudes to the highest level and proficiency that we can. Those are your talents, use them. Use them properly and change this world into a greater place. Make this universe a great one. One where you leave your life with a memory, and make sure it is something that has changed. Leave it better than you found it and use the beauty of your special talent. You have it. I have it. We all do. Make good use of it, and change the world! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 234 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
You may wonder sometimes, how you are able to overcome challenges and obstacles in your life. You want to change, you want to make a difference. But it’s not always easy. There are two voices within you: One voice, helping you and pushing things that are good and are substantially better than they were the day before. The other voice tries to destroy you and put up obstacles, holding you back.
There is a strategy and a lesson for us to learn on how to fight these battles. In your struggle to banish the enemies within you, “patience” is the greatest value and virtue that you can use. Tackling all your obstacles at once will almost certainly end in failure. That’s just a given.
A methodical and gradual line of attack has a much greater hope for success. That’s how all battles are won, on the field or otherwise. You first have to begin with things that are easier. The simple steps.
First, banish the most obvious form of negativity within or around you. Then only advance to face simple constant struggles, one at a time. Similarly, you should first attempt to avoid anything that is not good in striving for perfection and all that is good.
After you subdue your negative part, then you must begin to boost your good part. Those struggles within us are the spiritual pinnacles that one person aspires to. This is the method of attack. This is the battle of the spirits… the battles of constant spirit within us.
How do you do that? Gradual change. From there, you can conquer any land, any obstacle, and overcome any challenge… little by little. So now, again to resume: stay away from things which are not good. Resolve to take one thing at a time that is not good and make it better. Emphasize all that is good in your life and keep up the good life.
Before you know it, gradually, you will win.

I would like to discuss with you the concept of “human perfection”. You see, that in itself is a misnomer— It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t even exist.
The definition of the word perfection is:
Of the highest quality, or degree of proficiency, or skill, excellence. It’s a ‘perfect’ embodiment or an example of something which is of the highest quality or trait. It’s a degree of excellence.
That does not exist, not in a human form. In a G-dly form, yes, but not in a human form. However, because man was created in the image of G-d, we can improve things around us. We have the ability, possibility, and power to change things around us to make it “almost” perfect. Never totally perfect, but almost perfect.
Our job in this world is to actually do that. Take everything that is around us and leave it better than we found it. As if you were to find a garden with all types of weeds and dirt, and then you till it, plow it, and sow it. Within a short period of time, it will become a beautiful garden of roses and exotic flowers.
That is what we have to do with the world and the life that we have been given. It’s our job to make this world a place where things are beautiful. In a most human and perfect way that we understand it. That will make it almost perfect. Which is a great way to live. That’s the way we want to be different.
Live a graceful life of kindness and trust. Of authenticity, of goodness, of confidence, of resolutions, of humility, of hope, of beauty, of G-dliness… Let’s make that change. Because, you and I represent the world.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 232 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond In our world, there are many people who do many different things. There are women and men. Today, I would like to speak about women, and how special they are. Not just to us but to the whole world. Women are what we might call “extraordinary”. Women, interestingly enough, lives a more dedicated life. They thinks more in-depth and with a little more enthusiasm. The enthusiasm which they live by, provides them a breakthrough to any limitation that comes their way. Fortunately, these women are blessed with a good amount, and measure of enthusiasm. This is most women. If they analyze properly, which they do, in the right direction, they can strengthen other people around them. They have been given this ability because they are the ones who often raise children at home. Therefore, women have been endowed with this extraordinary power, to overcome challenges and know what to do when they appear. This is quite amazing. For you women out there who are listening to this, know that you have been blessed with great strengths and unlimited and unprecedented amounts of goodness. Share this with the world, and show it to each and every person around you. Show it to your friends, family, and acquaintances. This is what you can do for the world. I believe that women can do so much more than what they’re doing today. I’ve seen my own mother, bless her heart, do so many good things, and carry the torch high at any given time. Growing up watching her, made me understand the power of women. I am blessed with my own wife who, bless her heart, has been good and strong, and amazingly loving, without any limitations. I see it today in my own daughters, who have carried that same torch of greatness and goodness, and taken it to a level above and beyond imagination, with their own families. So, to the women out there, I personally thank you for everything that you do and that you’ve done for us in the world. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 231 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The first thing we become aware of when we wake up from our sleep in the morning is that we are “awake and alive.” That is the first awareness. It's interesting that when we go to bed the night before, we are tired and exhausted. Some people even say they are “dead tired,” but when we wake up in the morning, refreshed in the body and soul, it is almost as if we are born again. It is only right therefore when we wake up in the morning that we thank the Creator for giving us back our soul and mind totally refreshed.
Often, we don't realize that every single night when we go to sleep, a little bit of us goes up somewhere in the heavens to get refreshed while our body stays down here on earth. Yet in the morning, our mind, our heart, and even our soul becomes totally refreshed.
How do we know that? Well, think of it when you went to sleep last night and when you woke up this morning. You may have been somewhat disoriented, perhaps even a little tired. But as soon as you woke up and got dressed, you are totally refreshed. Where did this blessing come from? Where did the strength come from? Where did this all regenerative type of energy come from?
What happened to you last night was that your soul went up to Heaven and it gained energy. It revitalized itself by the strength, the kindness, and the blessing of the Creator.
You may say, "I don't believe in that. I just went to sleep and my body, without functioning for a while, rested." That may be true but that's true only for the body that rested. What happened to your mind? What happened to your heart? What happened to your soul?
You may say, "Well, nothing. They just rested with it and kept quiet for a few hours."
Well, why do you feel much more refreshed? Why is it that when you wake up in the morning, you feel like you're a “new person” again? It doesn't mean that your problems have gone away or that everything is now solved.
No, it just means that there are new opportunities that you have that were given to you. An opportunity to do better, to grow, to share. That's what it is, and at the end of the day, you'll have that same function again happening all over again.
But then again, tomorrow morning will be a brand-new day. That's what it's all about.

If it feels like the whole world around you is falling apart and things that you think, say, do are leading you absolutely nowhere, my suggestion is to reclaim your life. Your life was given to you with tremendous amount of energy, the power to do whatever you wish without any hesitation or stumbling blocks that you could not overcome at any given time.
You can adjust your attitude and get rid of all ambiguities. Analyze your situation, awaken within yourself the passion that lies deep, down inside of you. You can then catapult your goals, brighten your future, maximize your capabilities, challenge your dreams, electrify your day – all of this while nurturing your passion of being alive. Make sure that you reinforce your belief in who you are and what you do. Always recognize your strength and appreciate who you are and what you have.
If you are not sure, take a step back and replenish your enthusiasm. Knowing that you have been endowed with all the power and all the things that you need to live a life of joy, of strength, of achievement. Then, you can revise your dreams, revise your goals, and arise to the occasion— it’s all within you. There’s nothing there to stop you except the fear of the unknown.
Why should you worry about that? Why would that be an issue?
Be the person that you want to be. Live the life that you were given to the fullest extent.
Reclaim your life and make the best of it. You don’t have a lot of time, none of us do. But the time we are given is enough to make a difference for ourselves, those around us, and the whole universe.
So be dynamic, be different, and demand honesty. Share gracefully the kindness and the beauty that you have within you, with everyone. Achieve with confidence and aspire to goodness.
You can do it because I have done it in my own life, and as you know, I would never ask you to do something I have not done myself.

Time is very precious. It is interesting to see how many people don’t pay attention to that. People believe that they have an unlimited amount of time without caring about anything. But, we only have a certain amount that is allowed for us to do anything.
The allotted amount that we have is specific and is in no way, shape, or form, negotiable. It’s what we’re given. No-one knows that amount. If we knew, it would be different. Because if you knew how much time you had, then you would see the amount of time left at that moment, and you would realize that it is so precious because soon it could be gone.
Why not make that realization today? Know that time is very precious and you are only able to do what you can within “that” period of time. Each of us has a mission and a purpose. That purpose and that mission that was given to us must be accomplished in the few years that we are here.
There was great man, who was the head of an academy where many people studied. He was also a doctor and a great person so people came to ask him questions. Yet, every day he found the time for a few minutes, to take a walk. People would ask him, “How can you accomplish so much in your life?”
His answer was that “time was precious”. But everything that he did, at any given time, he focused on it entirely. Not multi-tasking. Never.
You are often told that multi-tasking is a great concept. It’s something that we can do, something we can enjoy, something we can definitely grow into. But, it’s not correct.
Focusing on one task and doing it with all your might, with every fiber of your body, with all your strength, will get you so much further. Focus on one task, and accomplish it. And when you’re finished with that, put the energy in the next one. Make sure that everything that you do is completed at the time that you’re doing it. Put all your energy into it and you will be successful.
You might even have time at the end of your day to take a walk, and enjoy the rest of life. Time is precious. Be conscious about that, and never stop.

I am often asked the question, “How do things happen? And how do things develop in someone’s life? What is the track? What is the destiny?”
Let me explain how it starts. First is the “thought” in your mind. Something that you conceive, which needs some type of vessel to be contained. That is where it resides, in your mind. The thought then translates into a word. The word will then put expression and will put a certain type of circumference around that concept that you thought about.
This word then will make it into an action. Action is what you see and what you do. That’s the reality of that thought that became now, an action. The actions, over a period of time, will create habits and habits will be the type of person that you are, which will shape your character. That character will then determine your destiny.
That’s the process, from the beginning to the end. A thought, which grows into words; words into action; action into habits; habits into character; and character into destiny. That’s beginning to end. A–Z.
This is how you shape your life, so be careful, starting with your thoughts. Be careful what you think about and where your thoughts take you.
You may say, “Can I control my thoughts?” Absolutely, you can control them. You can direct them, and redirect them towards goodness. Once you do that, then you’ll change your destiny and everything around and about you.
Be careful where you start. From the beginning to the end. Because this is how you shape your life and dictate the pathway that you will take. This could be very, very good for you if you pay attention to this.

In life, you have to learn to set priorities. What is the most important things that you should attend to? First and foremost, when you wake up in the morning, you have to make sure to know there is a Creator above that’s giving you the life and energy that you have today. It’s a unique day and no-one knows if this is the last day of your life. So, use it properly.
Set priorities by knowing that this is how the world runs. Knowing where you come from and what you’ve got will change the person that you’ll become. Be very careful in the pursuit of what you want, or the person that you’re willing to become. Life is not about what you get – life is about who you become. By setting priorities you will always know that there is a Creator above and beyond you that controls the world, from the movement of every single blade of grass, all the way to major cataclysmic world changes.
Now you may say, “What role do I have?”
Your role is to set priorities in your own life. To decide what is good and do it properly. To help other people you meet and to tend to your own family’s needs. There’s going to be many demands on your “today”. How you set your day, and every single day, you need to set priorities. What is important? What is necessary? What is critical? What is vital? What is unnecessary, unimportant, of no use? Separate the two.
If you know what is important in life and you act on it, you will have a unique life of goodness and greatness. You’ll always succeed and you’ll always be proud of your actions. There’s nothing worse than unhappiness and knowing that you’ve done less that you can, or less than you should have. But, there’s nothing greater than being proud of your actions, and knowing how to set priorities and following through with it.
Do yourself and the world a favor, because what you do affects the whole world as well. Set priorities and follow them.
Do it properly.
Do it because you deserve it, and this is your mission in life.
This is part of who you are. This is part of what you need to do. It’s important to follow through, and always know how to set priorities in everything that you do.

I once read a note from a Commander of the U.S. Army, stating that a soldier is a unique man who takes privilege and advantage of what he does. A soldier takes pride in this. He said it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the right to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, not the clergyman, who has given us the right to worship.
It is the soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, and who serves under the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protestor the right to burn the flag.
Think about that, especially today when we have so many people who believe that they can run the world in their own way. Against goodness, against greatness, the values that we have to be upheld. The soldier pictures that all the time. A soldier listens to his commander. And I’m proud to know that these soldiers are there to protect us.
We have to thank them, and we have to continuously pray to G-d for watching over them. At the same time, we have to do our own part and help them fight and support them. Supporting all of them, by knowing that what they’re doing is necessary to combat the evil in the world.
To the soldiers and their families, may G-d bless each and every one of you and protect you, wherever you are and at all times, in everything that you do. We thank you.
We appreciate you, and we pray for you. All the time. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

I had the beautiful and honored privilege to be raised in a family where all of us were close to each other. Especially us, the children, we were very close to my parents.
One day, my life changed. My father passed away, and when that happened I wasn’t quite sure what would happen to me. What would happen to my life? What would happen to my family?
I asked the question to my mother, “What is it going to be now?”
She answered, in an unwavering faith, “It will all be good. Definitely.”
I never forgot those words, and although today many years have passed, I have learned a great lesson from this “unwavering faith”.
It’s the kind of faith that keeps you “above and beyond”, and when challenges come, you know that things will be okay. Many people around the world assume that there is only one chance for every opportunity. Sometimes trouble comes that you can’t overcome. But with unwavering faith, things can change. Things can become better.
Of course, you cannot discover the new ocean, unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. Who can do that? Anybody. We were created in such a remarkable way that we have unprecedented challenges in front of us that we can manage to overcome at any time. We have the dignity and the strength to persevere. The worth of character; the improvement of our own talents; the power of kindness; the wisdom of originality. We were given so many tools to overcome any challenge.
Know that when these things happen, as it does in many people’s lives, you have in you unwavering faith and you can use it, awaken it.
If you tap into it, it will take you to a level above and beyond anything you ever thought was even possible. I thank my mother for this.

Today was a regular day for me. I woke up and did the things I was supposed to do, and on my way to work I received a phone call. A friend of mine passed away. So, today is not a regular day any more.
I lost a friend today. What happens when a friend passes away? Life moves on. The departed one goes on to a different life, a life of eternity and goodness, where things are different than on Earth. Now we don’t exactly know what they do, and where they go, and what’s going to happen, because no-one has been there and come back to tell us. We do know, however, that what we’re left with here is right here on Earth.
So, what did the friend leave? This friend of mine left goodness, memories, and a legacy. Great things that we shared together. This is a lesson for every one of us: Don’t wait until the day comes when a friend passes away. Don’t wait for anything, until that time when that person moves on to another world. Use the good times that you have today.
Love the ones that you are with. Cherish the moments. Take pictures, create a journal, write a story, share the best of the times with them. Let them know how much you care, how much you love them. Let them know that everything that you do together will leave an imprint on your mind, on your heart. You will be able to use this forever.
When that friend does pass away, you will have all of this left. But don’t wait. Don’t wait until it’s too late and you will regret. That is not good. Do it now with all the friends, and all the people that you love. Because you deserve to have good memories forever. And this is the way to live a good life on this Earth, every day.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 219 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Everything in this world affects everything else. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whether either by thoughts, speech, or action, you affect the world. Sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way. Words for instance, which may sound simple, innocuous, and often undefined, could mean something like a deadline. “Will you be finishing this on the deadline or before the deadline?”
The word “deadline” itself comes from the word “dead”. Dead which means an ending, a completion of life.
Instead of a “deadline”, why not use the word a due date? There's a major difference there. A due date represents a delivery, a time of love, the birth of a child. So instead of saying, "Will you meet this project by the deadline?" Why not say, "Will you be able to have the project ready on the due date?"
There are many things which can be changed.
Instead of saying, "Is that person sick?" Why not say, "Is that person not well?" In saying 'not well,' you're engaging the conversation with a positive word and therefore, the response will already elicit a positive response.
Instead of saying “mean”, say not nice. “Wrong”, say not right. Something which is “ugly”, why not say not pretty? Instead of saying “bad”, why not say not good?
Instead of saying “difficulty”, why not transform that into a challenge? A “hardship” could just be instituted as a test.
All these words can be looked at in many different ways. What is being proposed here, is to use words in the most appropriate positive way so as to engage the conversation, or the person in a positive manner.
So, when you say to them, something was done in a way which was “not right”, you're already assuming that there is a right way. As opposed to saying, this was “wrong” and it was totally inappropriate; which is so negative. Try using these words. This will help you and everyone around us for a positive life.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 218 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There’s an interesting concept about peeling an orange… Some people peel the orange using their fingers. Others use a knife, and others use both.
I’ll tell you a short story about my own father. When I was younger my father was sitting across the table from me and watched me peel an orange. Once I had finished, although I thought I had done nothing wrong, I picked up all the peels and threw them in the garbage.
My father, in his wisdom, just watched me and didn’t say any words. Then, he came to me and said, “Peeling an orange is systematic. It has to be done in an organized fashion and this is how life is.”
Then he continued, “Even when you peel an orange you have to do it in a proper way, in a manner which is elegant. Therefore, the peels themselves will be taken off in a categorical, measured way, and then thrown out.” I had heard that, but at the time I didn’t understand what he was talking about. I was still too young to realize the importance of being a “good person”.
A good person is one who watches everything that that they do, irrespective of where they are and the conditions in which they find themselves into.
This is living life with elegance. A lifestyle which is unique. A way to live, above and beyond. An opportunity to experience and be the best that you can be. At all times. Irrespective of the location or the circumstances you find yourself into.
Even when peeling an orange, you should do it in a proper, elegant manner. This will help you become a better person. A greater person. In everything that you do.
You deserve it because you are human being. Humans have the power to rise above and beyond, at all times. It was a great lesson for me, and I’ve kept that way all the rest of my years. Up until today. I wish the same for you. Because you deserve it!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 217 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Do you feel sometimes that there are two voices within you? One, a voice of reason, of goodness, of greatness, of productivity. The other one, a voice of opposition, something that pulls you down and requests of you things which are almost inhuman, or practically not good.
These two voices are real. Each human being has within themselves the opportunity to either do good, and be all that they are designed to be, or be less than good and do less than they are designed to be. It’s a spiritual battle that goes on within ourselves every day. It’s a struggle. What should we do, and how could we combat that?
First you have to attempt to avoid whatever is not good before even striving for perfection, in doing all that is good. Subdue the animal soul within you, that ego and process that says you can do anything that you want, irrespective of the consequences. The one that pulls you towards the negativity of your life.
After this, you can then start boosting the other part. The part that takes you to the pinnacle to aspire to become the best that you can be. This concept is to be accomplished little by little.
There is no question that this is a battle, and this battle will go on probably until the last day of your life. We all have it and we all live with it. Many of us have the ability to overcome it, and at least, at times, we win. Not all the time. The idea is to win as many times as possible. To expect that it should go away is almost impossible. But to expect to win many more times, each time, and become the best that you can be – that is possible. You deserve to do that. So, why not try it?
Why not wake up in the morning and shoot for the stars? Be the best that you can be at all times. Accomplish more than you have expected or even anticipated to do.
Continue to do so every single day. Each day will become better and better, and things will seem, at times, difficult. But, take my word for it, they’ll become easier. Little by little.

I wanted to share with you a list of 10 conditions, aspirations, and phrases which you can use as an “Attitude List”. Things to make your attitude better.
Condition your mind at the beginning of each day so that you will be positive, and think everything that is done for you and with you, will be good.
Laugh when you become angry or irritated. Make it a habit.
Start each day by being grateful. The benefit of the adversity and the blessing that you get, everything is a blessing for you. Be grateful for that.
Concentrate on everything that you can do as part of your challenge, and do it now. Don’t think of the ‘cannot’ – focus on the ‘can’.
Look at your life as a continuous learning process. Learn from your own experiences, and learn to grow with them.
Work on becoming more and more open minded, patient, generous, giving, and sharing with others.
Go out of your way to appreciate others’ good qualities. See the good in them and everything that they do and say.
Accept all circumstances as an occasion of productivity.
Refute in any way, shape, or form, anything which is not good, with a vengeance. Refute it and let it go. Do not concentrate, focus, or even be part of that.
If you’re feeling sorry for yourself, find and help someone who is worse off than you are. And you will see that you will feel much better.
These are only suggestions. You can follow them, or you can make your own list. You could tear it up and change it. But let it fit you, in your heart, so that you can have a good life. Every day.

There's a very special miracle that happens every single day that we often don't think about. That is to have a vision, to be able to physically see with our eyes. When we sleep, our eyes don't function. Even if we sleep with our eyes open, during our sleep, we are like blind or sightless individuals. Therefore, when we wake up and we are able to see again, many people take the opportunity to thank the Creator for restoring the power of sight.
But there are people with good eyesight, yet they are blind. They're blind to the spiritual matters, to kindnesses of the world, or to things that they're supposed to see. They cannot see the benevolence of the divine providence or the goodness of the world, and this basically leads to the destinies of everything and everyone. They're like sightless people grasping in the dark.
You have to be so careful with this ability to see. Your eyes are the entryway to your soul. That means that everything that you see, everything that you look at, has an effect on your life, on your soul, on your mind, on your heart, and even on your conscience. Everything that you see gives you an opportunity to understand what the image is all about.
I'm sure you've heard the saying “A picture contains a thousand words.” Yes, it's true because in one picture you can see so much more. However, that picture may have a negative or a positive effect. It's totally up to you. It depends on what you see and how you interpret what you see. The body only interprets in such a way where it's either a picture that brings life, goodness, and joy to yourself or the opposite. That is really what vision is all about.
What's even more important is that we have to be careful what we look at and the reason we are looking at something. For instance, if you are looking at art, something which is truly beautiful, the reason for that is to appreciate the artist’s ideas and concepts. Perhaps even the image that the artist is trying to convey, something which is very special. On the other hand, looking at things which are inappropriate, is not something that you should be doing. It affects you. Not only will it affect you for a while, it will affect you for many years to come. It can even change your attitude. It can even affect your life for many, many years.
So be careful where you direct your eyes. Be careful to see the things which are only necessary for you to become a better person.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 214 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I met a young man, some time ago, who had been using drugs.
I asked him the question, “What leads you to that? What did you do to fall so low that you let the drugs control your life, your mind, and everything else around you?”
This is what he said to me, “I was looking for a high… I was looking for something above and beyond. I fooled myself into thinking that I could accomplish more, and that I was so much better than everybody else. I never listened,” the young man said, “to anyone. Not to advice from my parents, my friends. And I never cared to even take the time. I kept on telling myself that I was so much greater, and so much smarter. Nothing could change me or stop me. When the drugs came along, I didn’t look at it as an ‘overtaking power’ or as a ‘new achievement’, but rather as simply one of my servants that I could order around.”
I asked him, “So, what about now?”
He said that he realized all the time he had wasted. The days that he spent, wishing that he should not have done that.
If you too are involved in any kind of drugs, or any kind of chemicals that slow you down, or that try to catapult you into another world, I strongly suggest you stop.
Be in complete control of your life, at all times. Be in charge, and stay in charge. Do the things that are beneficial to you and beneficial to the world. Don’t neglect at all, anything that you do. Do it with your entire being. Do it with your might, your strength, and your wisdom.
Always be in control. Life is so short, why let it go to waste? And the drugs— what can they do for you? What can they bring to you?
Think about that!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 213 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
An interesting concept to discuss is the crowing of the rooster. This is one of the wonders the Creator implemented in nature. By some hidden, peculiar sense it seems that the rooster knows the time when the darkness of night is about to lift and give its place to the light of the day.
How does it know that? It's a wonder of the world. It's one of the mysteries that no one understands. Yet, it's a natural phenomenon, something which happens all over the world, all the time.
Day and night, light and darkness are often synonymous with good and bad, knowledge and ignorance, happiness and misery. There are people in this world who actually live in the dark. There are those that have no knowledge of the Creator of the world or the goodness of the world, or facts that are accepted by most people.
We have heard that terrible experiences are referred to as nightmares. We speak of the dawn at the beginning of the “new era”, or we speak of the “night” also of a series of misfortunes.
Here is something to consider, something which would help us understand the difference. A person who knows good and bad is able to distinguish between what is appropriate and not appropriate. They would be able to, from a logical standpoint, recognize the goodness in things and things that are more challenging. We have to try to keep at all times a positive attitude. That's something that is well-known, but not everyone is able to do this. Not everyone is able to follow through with that idea. One thing is for sure, it is that the rooster, every single morning, knows its place.
You know what's even more interesting? It is that anywhere in the world, comes the crack of dawn, the rooster knows that it is morning. It is the only animal that recognizes that. Isn't that interesting? It always knows its space, its time, and its functions, and that's part of the mystery of the world.
The beauty and the magic is for us human beings to use this understanding and also know what to do, how to do it, and where to do, the things that we're supposed to do as human beings. That is the magic that we're given.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 212 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you have an issue and find that there are things that you’re not exactly sure how to fix or correct? If this isn’t what you want to have, or who you want to be then why not speak to a mentor? You should have a mentor. A mentor is a powerful force that can help you in so many different ways. A teacher, mentor, helper, or guide can be there when you need them. When you fall, and when things are difficult, why not speak with them? Whether it’s a financial issue, spiritual issue, personal issue, or even a physical issue, ask for their opinion. Because when you’re at the bottom, there is only one way to go: up. It is actually in the face of adversity that things begin to change. You always have the opportunity to make changes. When you think about it, a mentor can guide you to your goals. A good mentor knows what to say and resolve to inspire through change. You are only given as much as you can handle in this world; no more. Be grateful for the adversity. Take the things that are difficult and challenging to you and make a change. From inspiration to greatness. From desperation to goodness. You can do that. Keep your eyes on your achievements. In your own interest, but in an enlightened way. A mentor can help you see that. At times when things are difficult, speaking to someone else truly opens up your heart and lets you see things in a different manner. I have had a mentor for many years and I am grateful for that. A mentor is a powerful force that can help you in all situations. I strongly suggest and advise you to do the same thing. You will see, you will be thankful and grateful for this advice. Because success is not something that you pursue, it’s something you attract by the person you become. Often you cannot see that because you’re too engulfed in your own projects or in your own pettiness. A mentor can help you see clearer than that. I hope you can find the proper mentor to help you.

This is what I wish for you, every single day.

I met a man whose facial expressions were so difficult to understand. I sat down with him and I asked him why he was not well.
He said he had wasted many years of his life. He had gone down a path that he should not have, and he had done things he regretted. He said that some things he had done, he had never wished upon himself. He had been carried by the waves of life and circumstances.
Then I asked him, “Today, how are you?”
He said, “Things had changed.” He clearly stated that he had made a difference in his life. At one point in time, he realized that he had hit rock bottom – financially, spiritually, economically, and physically. In every way. Then he made the decision to not do that anymore. He also realized that he was in complete, genuine, unadulterated control of his life. Once he realized that, he made the turn.
And so, I asked him, “So why do you look so sad today?”
“I’m sad,” he said, “because I let it happen to me and I made those mistakes. But I know I fixed them. From now on nothing will stand in my way.”
Read this story carefully. Don’t let your life be one that you wish you had changed. Make the changes now. Take the opportunities that you have in front of you, and turn them into true realities – realities that are for you. Get the things that you need to get done.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 209 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
How often do you think of the end of life, the end of your life or someone else's life? It's not something that people want to talk about. Death is something that people try to shy away from. They don't want to hear about it or they think they'll live forever even though everyone will have to die. We look around and see everyone passing away, at one point or another, yet people don't want to talk about it.
But my question to you is this: at the end of life, where would you like to be? Where do you think you should end up at the end of life? Your life, not someone else's life; your life? Would you find yourself climbing a new mountain or sliding down an old one? Will it be flourishing, fulfilling, enriching, what will it be? Will you live a life of discovery, development, and growth? Or is your end of life where you're just tired of this old rotting concept, day in and day out?
If you think that life is just a continuous process of challenges that you cannot overcome, it doesn't come from life. It doesn't come from the darkness outside. It's the environment you're creating around yourself. If you want to, whenever you wish, you can change that. You can make life work for you at any time; not a matter of getting through the day but what you're getting from the day. Making each day count and each better than the day before.
I know some of you have read these lessons so many times and I keep on repeating the same thing, that opportunities are there for everyone to do so and often you want to say, "I heard that but where do I make this happen? How can I start?"
It starts with you, nowhere else.
There's no secret in life that you're not privy to and there's no one individual who's given a better advantage than another. You have to make of it whatever you want it to be. You have people that started out with literally zero, nothing, and sure enough, within a short period of time, they've accumulated tremendous amount of goodness and happiness, and joy, both materially and spiritually.
Why can't you do that? All of us can. What is the difference? The eagerness behind the ambition to live a passionate life with everything that you want. The eagerness is the key point here. So, use that and don't let the end of your life be something that doesn't tell a story or doesn't make a difference. Make the end of life to be so much better, the way you wish it to be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 208 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Imagine you could open your eyes to see only the good in every person. Imagine you could open your eyes to see the positive in every circumstance. Imagine you could open your eyes to see the opportunity in every challenge. How would your life be? Think about this, if you only saw the good in everyone that you meet and everyone that you see, how would the world be? Imagine, instead of looking at it in a negative way, you would see the positive aspect, you would greatly grow from every circumstance. Imagine if every challenge that happens in your life, and the things that occur, you would see the opportunities that lay in them. What a different world that would be! What a different opportunity you would have. A life of growth, understanding, joy, and happiness. Happiness is not an accident, it is an art. It is something that you design. You are the master of your own destiny and you could be the architect of your own future, if you wish to. Imagine the way that you want to be, make that image your life purpose, and live that way. You will see such a beautiful world out there. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 207 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever thought of the word fanatic? A fanatic seems to be someone who is the extreme, either way too far to the right or way too far to the left. When a person drives and they see someone in front of them, they always think that they drive too slow, and yet when they look back in their rearview mirror, they think that the person behind them drives too fast. So, basically, the one in front of me slows me down, but the one behind me actually is too close to me. We call them both fanatics.
We always think we are in the center. We're not the one driving too fast or the one driving too slow, and so it is with most issues in life and most circumstances. If someone is way too far out, we call them fanatics. They are too religious or they're too liberal, or too frivolous, they're too frugal, they're too conscientious, they're too much of this or too much of that.
The truth is, life is about being in the center; having a life of normalcy and a life of consistency. It's the ability to be right in the middle. Not too far to the right and not too far to the left. For instance, when it comes to eating, you should eat a good portion. How often? Well, you should have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you go too much above that, you will regret it. Same thing when it comes to driving: not too fast, not too slow, just the required speed. The reason why these signs on the road show us numbers is because they have tested it, and scientists and all of these years and years of experience have shown the government that there is a number which is reasonable.
So it is with everything in life, certain things that we have to pay attention to, always being in the center. You cannot be overly jealous or overly cordial. You can never be overly begrudging or overly giving. There is a midline and that midline is a healthy life. Now, you might say, "How do I know the midline?" Well, look around the different people and see who lives a life of balanced values. They may be balanced in some values as opposed to others. Look around and learn from them. Pick and choose across the way, whether it is drinking, laughing, walking, working, earning, all these issues in life, you should be in the middle. That's the healthy way.

Have you ever had the opportunity to deal with an elderly? A mother, a father, or grandmother, or grandfather, or even a great-grandfather, a great-grandmother? It can also be an uncle or someone of a distant relationship.
An elderly, to a certain extent, if you look at them, they are like children. Indeed, elderlies lose their hair, their skin becomes very smooth and you can even see right through them to see the veins popping up. They also become temperamental. They become needy. They have to eat quite often throughout the day. Some of them even need to be changed, unfortunately. Many of them need help in walking, eating, or dressing or undressing.
The elderly have within them a certain amount of power, but come their age, they start losing it. They think about that often. Elderlies think about what they had once and they no longer have. They regret it. Some of them think of their past and they wish they were younger. It's interesting that when we are young, we want to be older, and when we become older, we wish we were young again.
An elderly person is the one that has attained a certain amount of wisdom but for various reasons, sees things in a different life now that they are at that level. They realize that all they have left among themselves and around themselves are the memories. They often lament those memories. They wish for this, or wish for that. But in reality, all of us will have to get there. Some of us, unfortunately, won't make it all the way to an old, ripe age but many of us will. Those of us that make it there, when we get to that level, we have to remember one thing, and that is that the memories that we have created were part of life experiences and part of our mission on Earth here and now. What matters most is not so much what we have accomplished but how many people we've affected and how many things we've changed. It doesn't quite matter whether or not we did it all by ourselves. What it does matter is that everyone that came across our way, we were able to help them become better.
An elderly person often is not able to do things for themselves, not because they don't want to but because they can't. It's hard to see them sometimes become older especially if it's a parent or a grandparent, and you wish for them so much more. You have to take care of the elderlies. They were once young just like every one of us, but think: you will get there too.

What is the opposite of a dream? Most people call it a nightmare.
It's interesting but in dreams, paradoxes actually unite. They become together. You can have opposites; you can have a ball fit into a box and at the same time that box, can be inside the ball. That's what dreams are. Now, in the opposite of a dream, a nightmare as most people call it, somethings maybe scary. An interesting concept is that any scary dream or nightmare, one wakes up right before the worst happens. Have you ever realized that? For instance, someone's running behind you but just when that person is about to catch you, you wake up. Why is that? How is that possible?
The reason is that you are the one running. You are letting that person run after you, and therefore, you won't allow the other to catch you. That's what dreams are, and so with nightmares: the ability to think of things which are above and beyond your conscious level but not so far that you're not able to control it. Therefore, right before you wake up, you actually now stop the dream even though this was at its peak, at its worst.
This is what life is all about.
A person needs to realize that life is but a dream. To some, they call it a nightmare; but it's just a passage of time. That's all it is, a collection of experiences which make you think at times that the impossible will take over and not let you do what you want to do. The truth is, at any given time if you wish to, you can wake up. You can wake up and everything can change. You can change and change everything about you, around you, or the way you wanted to be. You can live and lead a different life. All you have to do is wake up. Wake up and decide to be different, to act differently and go in different path way. You can change that.
If your think your life is a nightmare or this dream, if you think a life right now that you're living is good but you want it to change for the better, greater, exotic, or whatever you wish, you can do it. Just wake up and make that difference, because that's what life is all about, paradoxes united in your imagination.

Have you ever thought about the difference between light and life? When light is turned on in a dark room there are no new objects that are added to this room. Light allows you to appreciate that which existed there before that's what it does. Nothing was added. The same thing is with life. When a corpse is given life, the only difference is breathing and then it starts living but otherwise, it's the same thing.
To be happy, you have a clear conscious or you will kill your conscious, it's up to you. You can decide what you want to do with that. For instance, a farmer who plants in the spring and then a storm comes and takes it all away yet he goes back the next spring and he plants all over again, he doesn't pay attention to the past. He knows what he can do.
You can be discouraged by it at all or you can be inspired by it at all. That is part of the mystery and its part of your life. You decide.
The magic is that at any moment, you can turn around and make another feel better, and you can make yourself feel better. You can also make a fortune, or you can change, but not everyone in the world will do that. Some people will, some people won't. Life is about that. So by turning on the light, all you've done is brightened up the whole room where you were living now. You can see where everything is.
Everything is in your life. You have everything that it takes to make you happy. It's all within you, it's in within your conscious, it's within your capabilities, it's within your reach. You have the option to choose, either live a happy life consciously or kill your conscious and kill yourself with it by not being happy.
Why would you do that? There is no need for this. You have an opportunity, use it properly. You certainly have the capabilities, use it to make this better. Use it at all times and grow from it. Yes, there will be challenges, that's just part of life but just like the farmer, don't look back. Know that you can plant one more time and you will have a brand-new harvest, comes the next season. You can do it and you deserve it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 203 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I'm sure you recall often when your parents or teachers, or people who raised you, often said to you, "You have to be responsible. Be a responsible person. Responsible for your actions and responsible for everything around you."
The truth is, that may be a misnomer. Responsible is important, of course, but here is what's more important, being accountable. Responsible is good because you become an adult. Accountable means that you realize what you're doing and you're doing it because there is going to be in your life, and in the rest of the world, some accountability as to what you've done to this world. Now, the reason why you want to be accountable for what you've done, it's because you are capable of doing it all.
No one—this is a fact—no one was ever born in this earth without all the tools they need all the time to accomplish their full mission on Earth, no one. Knowing that, you can do whatever you want. You can get rid of all the ambiguities and once you analyze our situation you can truly celebrate an unprecedented success. Now, you may need to awaken a passion. You may need to set some goals but this will brighten up your future and even maximize all your capabilities. If you don't understand that, it may be difficult to challenge your dreams or recognize your strength.
If you refresh your mind on a daily basis and say, "I need to be accountable and I am going have to give an account, one point in time in this life, of what I've done."
Even if you don't believe in the next life over or higher being, you're going to have to be accountable to yourself. You will note what kind of person you are. What will you answer to yourself when you look at the mirror and say, "What have I done today to make this place a better place than when I found it? What have I done to make this world better, stronger, wiser, different?"
It may not be cataclysmic changes or volcanic eruptions, something that you've done on your own because you're capable. That's what being accountable means. Be accountable, that's important.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 202 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
People ask, "How do you have a great relationship with your spouse? With a partner, with your children, with your parents, with a colleague at work, or a neighbor? With acquaintances or friends, or people that you're sitting next to on a flight? How do you become that person that makes others feel better than they are, so when they walk away they say, ‘This was an amazing meeting?'"
That's the question.
Some people say it's by obliteration. Obliteration means you don't exist; you are nobody and whatever you do, consider yourself smaller than anybody else. Obliterate yourself, your feelings, your wants, your needs.
Imagine this in a relationship. You give up whatever you want and let the other person have everything else they want. That's really not the way to be. There is another way to do that and that is by sublimation. Sublimation means you realize that your needs are necessary, but they may not be important to come first. You realize that another person and many others have qualities, but so do you. You don't obliterate yourself and become like a doormat, but you don't make anyone else feel better or worse than you. By lifting them, you rise. You make them feel good and you see the positive in them. You see the positive in everybody; because if you think about it, seeing the good in everyone changes your life.
If you take the opportunity to see every single person and find the good in each person, you can play that as a game if you want. Everyone you meet from today onward, find one good quality in them. You'll see that it changes your views about them, and if you see negativity, whatever that may be, disregard it. Sublimation means not thinking about that negative aspect; sublimation to their goodness, and then you'll see that everyone around you is so beautiful, and it's incredible.
There's so much to gain, so much to learn, so much to grow, so much to share. It becomes a different day, a different life, a different opportunity, and you will be very happy. No obliteration, we don't need that. Just sublimation, a much better way to live.

Daily Wisdom  â Motivational Podcast â Day 201 â Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The word love can be used in such a wide variety of situations, we often lose its concept. Children are the best ones to express what love means. When you look at a child, a small baby doesn't ask for anything. The small baby is just there and they look at you with a warm, kind, deep sigh. They have just slept and if they have been fed, and finished their needs, they are just looking at you. What they say is, "Love me. Love me for who I am, love me for what I bring to the world. Don't look at some of the things which make me sometime not the person you want me to be. Don't think of me as a difficult portion of your life. Don't look at me as an opportunity to do things that are not supposed to be done. Love me for who I am and let me love you the way I want you to love me."
That's what a baby says. It is true, when you have the opportunity to look at a beautiful baby. The color, the age, the gender, ethnicity, religion, none of this matters. A baby is a human being full of love, who asks for nothing in return. They look at you with beautiful, big, bright eyes, saying, "Love me." Without any conditions, no prescriptions and absolutely no requirements, and it's all free. Once you have the opportunity to do that, then you realize you have now reached the ultimate level of life in its best way. There's nothing more exotic, more beautiful than this, looking at the baby's eyes and knowing that there's just love, and that's all they ask.
When you have the opportunity next time to be around a baby, look at them. When you see that love being transposed and that sharing of that special moment, remember to love every human being, every one of them, the same way, unconditionally, not asking for anything in return. That is true love and that's what "Love me" means. I wanted to write this lesson today because I had the opportunity to hold my grandchild just a couple of hours ago, and it was such a beautiful feeling and I looked into his eyes and that's what he said to me; in no uncertain terms with those beautiful eyes,
"Love me, Papi," and I do.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 200 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
It is told that when iron was created in the world; wherever there was wood, the trees got worried. They thought, "Goodness, now that the iron is here, we can be cut down. We no longer are the majestic vegetation and growth and trunks that's we thought we were. We could be destroyed because of iron."
This is not truth because in order for the iron to cut the tree, it must have a handle. The handle itself becomes the axe, and it's with that handle which holds on to the part of the iron which can cut the tree. Without the handle, the axe serves no purpose; it can't harm anyone.
Nobody will cut you down without your consent at any given time. If you define me, who I am, then that means I have no mission. I must define myself. If you're in a bad mood, then where am I? Why do I act this way? I'm not in a place which is described as limited. I'm wherever I want to be.
The tree thought it was limited but when it realized that it needed its help, a portion of it to create the axe, then it knew it could control it.
The same thing here; no one can control you. You are in complete charge of yourself. No one can define you. If people try to define you, don't let them.
You are the best that has ever come down on Earth and without you, the world couldn't exist. You have to remember this and keep on repeating this to yourself. Certainly, to children who need to grow in a safe, sound, completely warm environment. You need to tell your friends, as well as colleagues, and people that you're with. Let them know that they matter and that everything matters, not just their presence but their actions and their reactions. And everything else that they do.
This is what the world is all about, made up of many different people, all over this beautiful place that we call Earth. To make this a better place to be than it was when we found it. That's what life is.

What is a bad habit? A bad habit is something that you should not be doing, but for whatever reason you are stuck doing it.
This is not something you have to keep or something you must have with you all the time. You can change it, but because it is a habit you have become used to it.
The problem with a bad habit is not the fact that "it is not good"; a bad habit actually inhibits your success. It prohibits you from moving forward. What you need to do, is remember that unless you want to grow and grow in the right direction, this bad habit, serves no purpose. If you get out of this bad habit you can do so much more.
For instance, how easy is it to get up in the morning when you know you are not doing well, or that you don’t have much to look forward to. It’s not very easy at all. You can just lay there awake thinking "oh what’s a few minutes more in bed? It won’t matter anyway. I don’t have much to do.”
Well, this is all definitely wrong. It does matter and it will matter if you get out of bed and make that difference. Now think about this how easy would it be to get out of bed in the morning if you were anxious to make progress towards your dreams. This is a whole different story.
When you are resting to renew your reserves, it is very different than when you’re resting to avoid your day. Your successes can fuel your ambitions and your ambitions can make progress look like a dream coming to reality. You can change that the— habits that you have that are not good-just discard them. You have acquired them somehow. Just as easy as it was to take them, on you can get rid of them.
Now it may take a few steps, it may take a few commitments, but you can do it. When you achieve one success at a time, you’re then excited to meet another, and another, and yet another. After all, you deserve it.
So, make it happen then!

If you see me at times doing things which are improper, lift me up. Such a beautiful concept. If you hear things that I say which are incorrect or harmful lift me up. If there is something that I have done to you or someone you know which was not right, lift me up. Lift me up on top of the world, and show me, help me, guide me. When you lift up others, you rise.
Here is the key; by lifting someone else up you, are changing the world. What good is it to bring them down? Admonish them? Tell them how terrible they are? What does it accomplish?
It may make you feel better for a while, but what good did it do? Destroy the other person? It is not necessary.
If there is something that you see, that you think needs correcting, lift me up. Help me see it in a different light.
Lift me up above the clouds and show me the color of the infinite sky. Lift me up above and beyond so I can believe you, so I can also change. I am as good as you are. I know for a fact that I am also good for certain things, even though I may have made a mistake. But rather than admonishing me, why don’t you lift me up? Help me see myself better than I am. In this way, I can change.
Lift someone else up and both will benefit. With that, the whole world would be better.

Whether you have a successful life or not, why not share what you have?
Now you may say, “How can I share what I don’t have?”
We all have something we can share.
Share the wealth of your knowledge, however limited it may be. Share the wealth of your smile. That is easy, all you have to do is smile. Share the wealth of your kindness and patience. Share the wealth of your wisdom that you’ve gained through your life, slowly but surely. Share it with others.
Sharing the wealth means whatever you have, you bring to others to make them happy. To show them also that what you have is good for you and it could be good for them. Sharing the wealth does not mean keeping it all to yourself.
What good is a book that just sits in your library after you’ve read it? It sits there and no one else reads it; that’s no good. But if you share that book with other people, especially if it’s a great book, they will get a benefit from that.
What good is it to have money sitting in an account? That just earns interest for you? Why not share it with others who could use it and in turn you will be helped.
Share the wealth in everything that you have with anything that you’ve been given as a gift is for you to share with others. That is the life I wish for you. A life where kindness abounds and you make others happy with what you have all the time.
Share the wealth.

There are people who live two lives.
The one that they wish to be and the one that they have to be. Some people believe that they have to do certain things in order to be accomplished or at least be successful. They believe that when they go to work, they have to act a certain way. They have to speak in a stern assertive fashion. They may even believe that they say things that are not true to accomplish a goal.
But, when they come home they live a different life. One that lets them know they need to be nice and kind, and they do it with integrity.
Now I ask you, why would anyone have two lives?
Why would anyone live in two worlds?
Why not combine the both and live one life?
One world, one way, one direction with only one Creator. When the world was created, options were given to all creations. Either to do everything they were designed to be or to do less than they were designed to be. Since you have the choice in your life why not choose to be all that you were designed to be and do it with integrity, kindness, and with patience.
You don’t need to lie, cheat, or get upset. You don’t need to do anything that is improper to succeed. To the contrary, if you were to choose the right path and do things with integrity and honesty you will succeed even more.
Even though, it may seem in the beginning that it is a challenge, I can tell you for a fact that you will succeed. Try it, see what happens. I can tell you the answer will be positive. I can guarantee you that.
Go ahead and do it, and change your life for the better.

Everyday there is a prayer that you can say that will help you grow and change. Ask G-d to show you the way. These are the words that you can use: Dear Creator show me the value of time. Show me the dignity of simplicity. Show me the influence of an example. Show me the virtue of patience. Show me success to persevere and the worth of having a good character. Show me the obligation of my duties and the improvement of my talents. Show me the pleasure of working and being productive. Show me the power of kindness. Show me the wisdom of being helpful, but show me the joy of originality. Show me what to do.
This is a prayer that we can use so that the Creator of the world would always be on our side. Helping us, guiding us and showing us the way to be. This is what I wish for you today and every day.
You can make up whatever prayer you like, you don’t have to use these words. But, you do have to pray. You must know that there is a Creator above that cares for you.
So, why not let Him know that you need guidance?
I hope that you find peace in your life.

Have you ever admonished someone?
Do you even know the definition of the word admonish?
To caution, to advise, or to counsel someone against something. But this is often to reprove or scold and is usually ill mannered.
You might say admonishing is good because it can help the other person change themselves. I believe there are two ways to help another person.
One is to make them see the bad in themselves. To point out all the differences and all the problems and all the issues that they have. In this way, all the admonishing hopefully would help them see things better.
There is a better way however. Not admonishing, but loving.
By loving someone and showing how good they are, and make them see themselves better than they are, and make them believe in themselves more than they do at that time then the admonishing would not be necessary. They themselves would want to change just from listening to you praising them.
I know what you’re thinking… How can you praise someone or even help someone if you do not tell them what is not right? Very simple! With love, compassion, kindness, and tremendous amount of patience you can help someone see themselves greater than they are and help them overcome the challenges they see in their life. Remember the reason they do what they do at times, it’s only because they lost direction; but their destination is always good.
Don’t admonish someone else. Help them by loving them and I can guarantee that you will get a lot more done.

How many times has it occurred, that you are facing a situation, a challenge, or just a question in your life and you’re not sure what to do?
I'll tell you a secret… You have within yourself a voice. It’s a voice of reason, a voice of goodness, this mindful voice can always guide you properly.
What you need to do is hear the voice. Hear the voice because it is within you and it is always there and ready to help you. At times, we may want to do things that are either forbidden, inappropriate, or for whatever reason not right.
If that’s the case, how do you know? This voice within you is always right and it knows what to do.
Now, you may say "I’ve made many mistakes and I’ve never heard the voice."
Then if this is the case, and this is where you are today, then you need to speak to someone who can help you find that voice again. Perhaps read the right book, attend a good class, or let someone help you find that voice.
Once you hear that voice again and you can reach it, it will speak very highly of you. It will help you find the right way, make the right decisions. It will always be there with you.
The voice within is yours. It’s been given as a gift by the Creator. It’s always there to always make the right decisions. Listen to the voice within and have yourself a unique and beautiful life.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you are around people who use words that don’t mean anything?
They say things that they don’t mean or they sometimes express themselves in ways that make absolutely no sense. Then they say, “I didn’t mean that”, or “that’s really not what I said.”
This is called “foolish talk”.
What is “foolish talk”? Words, concepts, or a pattern of thoughts which are said in words and really didn’t get anywhere.
What is the purpose of “foolish talk”? It has absolutely no purpose. It may seem harmless, but indeed, it is very dangerous.
Before a word is expressed it has to have a source, and that source is your mind. This is the basis of where your thoughts come from.
When you express yourself with certain words, concepts, or ideas that mean nothing, or if you said something you don’t really mean, this is “foolish talk”. I would strongly suggest that you stop with the “foolish talk”.
Say things that matter.
Say words that touch somebody else’s life.
The things that you say should always be worthwhile. They should be worth writing and sharing. Things that elevate the world. Things that will make you proud to be heard.
Imagine that you are being taped at any given time. As long as you remember this, you will be careful to never use foolish talk ever again.

How much can you accumulate in one life time?
It's quite incredible how many people accumulate so many things, trinkets, and all kinds of other objects that they bring into their home. You have to understand the difference between trinkets and treasures. You see, happiness is not an accident.
Happiness is an art, something that you design, something that you choose for yourself. It is a unique lifestyle that you can have for yourself, figuring out ways to live meaningfully and understanding what you want and what you need, and keep that. The rest is just accumulating stuff, and what would you do with it?
Once, I was at a funeral, and I met a person whose father had passed away. She was sad and definitely taken by what had just happened. The one thing that she remembered were all the memories that her father had left with her.
Now, this in itself is a gift. Anything else her father could have left, what purpose would it had served? The accumulation of things is not what life is all about. What you value is meant to be appreciated. This is how you appreciate value, otherwise it doesn’t mean anything. This is what happiness is all about.
Life can give you all kinds of happiness. The times that you should cherish the most are what brings you, your family, your friends, and all those that you love, memories. This is what you need in your life.
This is what I wish for you: to choose the right accumulations and use them in good health.

The word “reverse,” means the opposite or contrary in position or in direction, of order or character.
Reverse is an important term because it actually determines your ability to change anything at any given time, like driving a car. When you drive a car it can go either forward or you can put in reverse. At times, we do need to use this ability to reverse all our situations.
Say for instance you are in a situation that is difficult, challenging, or even critical. You can reverse that. How, you ask? Know that you are never stuck in a situation, you never have to stay in that situation; and you never have to put up with all of the challenges you are facing.
You can look in a different direction.
You can apply for different opportunities.
By broadening your vision, you can get away from that situation by reversing what you do.
Go back to where you would like to be. Go back to the person that you were meant to be. And be whomever you wish to be.
You can do this at any time. There is no specific proposition that must be made to you. It’s just a choice, and it is all yours.

There is an interesting parable in the Old Testament. It says that at one point in time Moses went to see King Pharaoh with a stick in his hand. He threw the stick on the ground and it became a snake. It says that the stick that became a snake was somewhat of a parable which was shown to King Pharaoh so that Moses would have all his people leave Egypt since they were there in bondage, as slaves.
There's an interesting idea here about a stick versus the snake. A shepherd also walks around with a stick and so do some people, they just call it a cane. That stick helps them walk around and hang onto life without having to fall. In the olden days, aristocratic, people that were quite well-to-do also walked around with a cane, and they had all kinds of designs on them. Some of these canes can be found on the internet, and I invite you to look them up as they're ornate designs and some, absolutely stunning.
Yet, the cane itself can become a weapon. You can hit people with it. It might even defend you if someone is coming after you.
This is what life is all about. A stick is the recognition of who you are and what you've got in life, and it can help you. These are the opportunities that you have.
A snake is venomous and could be dangerous. If you let the opportunities that you have, the sticks that you're holding onto turn against you, they will become snakes and they will bite you and they will hurt you. They will scare you and they will keep you away from where you're supposed to be. But, if you keep the stick and you let it be a stick, it will help you get where you need to be.
Often in life, we have to make decisions. Is it something that which will help me? Or something that will destroy me, something which is building me up or possibly destructive? Something which is helping me be better than the way I was before? Or, something which will actually degrade me and let me not be as good as I should be?
Life is full of opportunities. This is what day to day life is; opportunities mixed with difficulties. Our job is to sift through it and take the opportunities and turn them into possibilities.
Another step is to know that these possibilities are possible for you; for you to do something very good with it, so don't let your stick become a snake. Be free, be happy.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 188 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A great wise person once wrote, "Any human being whose spirit moves him and whose intellect has motivated him to distinguish himself by standing before the Creator, serving and knowing Him, will be granted all of his physical needs." In other words, when we recognize that the purpose of our lives is to serve the Creator and be who we were created to be, and we dedicate ourselves to accomplishing everything that we are supposed to do; we can be assured that the best of everything, materially and spiritually, will be given to us. So, why not live a good life? Why worry? Why be so concerned about what we are going to need? Why not just do the best that we can? Know for a fact that we are continuously in the hands of the Creator who guides us and gives us our strength and our very own breath every single moment. By knowing this you can rest assure that the best of everything will be given to you. Live peacefully with serenity and kindness and know that it’s all there for you anytime all the time.

How do you see your world every day when you wake up? Do you find that the alarm sound is a razing sound that just wakes you up? And then the race to get to the restroom, get dressed, have something to eat on the run. Get to work, work, work, all day. Come home, have dinner, go to sleep, and start all over again?
Is this where you are today and this is what your wife tells you, or your husband tells you, or a friend, or a colleague, or anyone? If this is what you're leading to right now, then you need to look outside.
Wherever you live and whatever you do, take the opportunity to look at this beautiful, amazing, exotic garden that the world is. Look outside. Look at the beautiful flowers. Look at the amazing, incredible infinite color of the sky. Appreciate what we are given. If you see the world as an exotic garden, suddenly, walking around it on a trek or taking a walk becomes not only an exercise but an experience. This changes your attitude, it changes your views. It even changes the color of schemes of everything that you see. Imagine yourself being in front of such a beautiful grass and walking around these beautiful flowers. What does it feel like?
When I used to start speaking in front of large crowds, I, at the very beginning, was quite frightened. I wasn't comfortable; and then someone told me, “Every single person that comes in listen to you is there looking up to you and waiting for an opportunity to understand your message, and you have something to say and you say it well, so use it as a tool. Something, which is helping everyone, should be a blessing."
From the day I heard this, I would walk into these large seminars which I have been giving for many years and look at the crowds in front of me and think of each and every one of them, as a family member. Someone who has come to visit with me and ask me for advice. So, I speak from the heart as it is supposed to be. Because when you speak from the heart, it enters the listener's heart. When you speak with kindness, with truth, integrity, you now create an exotic garden.

You have to know who you are and believe in yourself. Sometimes, people may be held back thinking that they cannot go beyond a certain point since someone may remind them of their past, they’re even more fearful about that.
However, neither you nor I can interfere with our future and/or the journey to greatness if we want things to change. If you can do a good deed or start a complete new project, don’t allow yourself to be held back by the past. Instead, strive to look forward and enrich the present and the future with actions that will reflect the true you, the one you wish to be.
You see, every day is a new day. There is a prayer: I give thanks before You, the Living and Eternal King, for You have returned my soul to me with compassion. Great is Your faithfulness.
Every day brings a new energy, new light, new concept, new everything. The Creator of the world has faith in us and faith in you. It is who we are that matters and we need to find that faith in ourselves and reach our full potential.
Make that change. It may seem difficult at times and you may fail, but why does it matter?
How many times does a child fall before he starts walking?
The child doesn’t stop because he knows that eventually he will learn how to walk. This is what life is all about— striving, trying, and always doing better. These past experiences which were not as pleasant as we would have wished? Just erase them. It’s your life. It’s your book. You can re-write it however you wish and make tomorrow much better than yesterday.

Are you one of these people that say I should have but I didn’t? I could have but I didn’t?
You see, you can change that; it’s just a matter of discipline.
Here is one of the best places to start on the process of working on a new discipline. Every one of us has a mental list of “I should have”.
I should have written to my friend. I should have spoken to my mother.
I should have called my father.
I should have been friendlier to my spouse or to a sibling.
All of these “should haves” can be changed. The early inspiration that comes from the practice of a new discipline will start a soaring self-worth wherever you wish to be. You could go from "I should have" to "I did it.”
When a person passes away from this world, moving on to another, you don’t want to say, “I should have.” Now that is not to say every day you should walk around asking if they are going to be alive tomorrow. You should remember that one day everyone will be gone. While they are still here don’t say “I should have.” Just do what you must do, and do it properly.
Do it in such a way that matters and makes the world a better place to be.
Do it so that the relationship you have with those people can make a difference.
Make it memorable, remarkable, special, unique, and make it work.

Activity must be planned. This is something you may have heard before.
As a matter of fact, there is a saying that says “no plan is a plan to fail.” We must become wise enough to use today to plan for tomorrow. You must design the future, not just dream about it. If you discipline yourself to put intelligence into your plan you can put a fortune into your future-not just make a living.
It’s easy to learn how to earn, you now have to learn how to live. This is an obsession, but an obsession which can be absolutely amazing if you think about that. Don’t allow your plan to become excessively burdened by complexities. Listen to the voices of value.
Your plan must be personally designed. The Creator of the world had a plan. As you can see with your own eyes every day, the Architect of this wonderful world helps us build a much greater, better, stronger, and more viable option for everything that we do. The idea is to know how to use all these tools that were given and all the opportunities.
The imagination to have all these opportunities are good, but you have to believe that all these opportunities are also possible for you. This gives you the strength and the courage to accomplish more. There is a tendency at times for the negative side of life to infiltrate your plan, or your dreams or even your activities. It may seem like it takes control of it and won’t let it go.
Now, you can have the optimistic view, the real view, and nothing stops you from becoming or doing what you want. All the tools are given to you and so is the strength, intelligence, guidance, and the blessing that you can succeed in your plan.
Nothing can stop you— only yourself.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 182 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A story is told about a father who wanted to show his quarrelsome sons the importance of living together in peace, so he asked them to bring him a bundle of sticks. Then he asked each one of them to break the bundle over his knee. They all tried, but they failed. The father then untied the bundle and gave each one of them a single stick which they were able to break easily. "There, you see” said the father, “If only you would unite, then you would be strong enough to meet any difficulty which may arise. But, if you work separately you will be weak, and at the mercy of anyone who might attack you.” So, it is with life. If we work together and help one another then everything is possible. I once heard that if you help another get what they need, you will get everything you want. Life is about giving, not taking. It’s about sharing, not wanting. Although you should be careful that what you get is what you wish for. Giving, taking, and sharing is all about the other person— not from you, but to them. Don’t attack someone else for what they do, only talk about the things which you don’t believe in. Help them see themselves greater than they are. Believe in them, and work with one another. All of us can make this world a much better place to be, with all of us working together. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

There is a story about a philosopher named Ludwig Wittgenstein. He discovered that when you put a fly in a bottle, it dives right to the bottom and then it flies back up to about the middle of it and then it starts flying to the left and hits the wall, and then it flies to the right and hits the wall again, and then it goes back and flies to the left and hits the wall, and flies to the right and hits the wall. The fly keeps flying back and forth from the left to the right, until it just drops from exhaustion. It's just simply exhausted and it falls, and it dies.
One thing the fly never does, he says, is look up. If that fly ever looked up, it would have seen that there was an opportunity to get out, just fly away and be free. Often, we find ourselves in situations where we don't look up, we see only saturation, frustration.
There is a way to turn that frustration into a fascination and liberate ourselves and that is taking a chance to looking up. Look up to the Heavens. There is a Creator that created this whole beautiful world and from there, you can be free.
By having a partner in this world, namely believing in G-d or whatever you want It to be called, whatever suits your needs, but by having a partner, you're now attached to divinity, infinity.
You may say, "Why should I believe in G-d? I don't see Him. He's not there."
The truth is, although you may not see Him, this being which many people call G-d created this whole amazing, incredible, absolutely unparalleled world that we live in. So why not enjoy the ride? Having faith and knowing that a Creator that cares about you makes life so much simpler, and it's not about not believing or anything like this.
No, no, it's about you. The ability to understand who you are and what you are here for, what your mission is, that's what life is. You should take this opportunity. Look up, look up to the heavens and you will see there is an exit. There's no need to think negatively or think that the whole world is made up of obstacles and walls that you keep on hitting back and forth. If you look up and you take that chance just one time, you will see there's a beautiful world out there.

In Chinese, the word crisis is the same as the word opportunity. Now you might ask, how is that possible? These are two paradoxical concepts or at least antithetical ideas. An opportunity is something that takes you to the next level. A crisis is something that may either drown you or possibly cause an issue in your life; something which is important to pay attention to. Yet the Chinese see this concept as the same.
I'm not sure exactly why this happened but my own ideas, is that the Chinese see opportunities sometimes coming out of crisis. When there is a crisis, it's really not a crisis. It's actually an opportunity in disguise. I love that concept. There was a scientist who passed away back in '88 and actually even received a Nobel Prize. He said, "My mother made me into a scientist without ever intending to do so.” Yet he said, "Every parent asks their children, did you get all your answers today in school?" But he said, "My mother asked, did you have a ‘good question’ today?"
In other words, his mother taught him that what's more important and not so much what other people say but what do you come up with, what do you think about the world, what is your idea, what is your search bringing you to? There is nothing greater in life than self-development. Self-development is the opportunity for you to use all your capabilities and all your strengths and make them even better.
We each have that as a gift called free will. It's given to every single human being; not animals, not plants or vegetation, and not inanimate, just human beings. Every human being; irrespective of their race, religion, gender, or ethnicity. So, whoever you are, wherever you are, why not use this concept. Whatever you see in your life and if it is a crisis or even if it isn't, why not think of it as an opportunity for you to develop, to grow, to make things better and stronger? Take this opportunity to be the best that you can be. This in itself will be the best of things that you can do for your life and the rest of the world.

Lately, it has been said around the world that people walk around with a facade; a facade that intimidates them. Why not turn this intimidation into an influence? Use a natural progression of a change. Something that you have within you to change the world and help not only yourself but all the people around you. It is natural, to a certain extent, that we look to protect ourselves by trying to keep a low profile and not make any major social or religious, or even ethical waves. We don't want to become too noticed.
We want to stay behind doors at times and not to create waves among the indigenous crowds. It's just our survival instinct and the promises to adopt an attitude of discretion, of quietness. Some time, even feelings the slight inferiority complex or the fact that we shouldn't be saying something. That's not what influence is. The influence is the ability to remove the facade that's in front of you, and be the person that you need to be and express your feelings.
Look at the people on our planet; they're not standing in a single file, none of them are. Look closely. Everyone is really standing in a circle holding hands, and whatever you give to the person standing next to you will eventually come right back to you. Today, you can give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine they will see. Today, you can look at things differently. It may be the only opportunity you have.
Think about it, why walk around with a facade? It's a mask that you don't need and it's not you. It cannot be just you. The true you is the gift that you were given at birth; the ability to change the world into a better place. This facade doesn't have to be there. It doesn't serve any purpose and it certainly doesn't give you any good things, not in return and not in giving. Get rid of the facade. Be the real you and influence the world in a positive way; just the way you were meant to be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 178 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It’s interesting that the process of human change actually begins within us. Each of us have the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a result that we desire. No other person on Earth has dominion over your attitude. You create that. You accept that the way that you wish to. No one can control your attitude unless you voluntarily surrender that control. You choose; not them. Most people around you that try to influence you merely try to test your attitude. If you condemn yourself by believing that you are unworthy, then again it shows that you’ve failed the test. The combination of a personal philosophy and the positive attitude about yourself and the world around you, will give you an inner strength, a firm resolve that all the influences in the world about your own existence can be improved at any time. It’s within your power, it’s what you decide, it’s what you choose. Unique potential that is given to every single human being is a gift. It is a gift from above and it is given for the simple purpose to use it to its fullest strength. Your abilities are all that you’ve got, it’s true. However, you can strengthen these abilities if you want to. You can even use these them to the advantage of making this world a better place to be. Why not do that? Why not use it? Why not change? By changing yourself you can change the world with it. What an awesome, beautiful opportunity. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Have you ever heard, in politics, the word ambassador? Ambassador sounds as though this is someone who represents a country, a party, or another entity, and it's a position of, very high level. I have always thought of the word ambassador as something that was only for the privileged, and it's true. Imagine the ambassadors that represent many countries throughout the world: the ambassador of the United States in this country or the ambassador of this country in the United States.
An ambassador is somebody who represents an entity, an organization, or a country, an idea, or even a thought, a philosophy. This is what each human being is: an ambassador. This is how you have to think of yourself. You and I, and every one of us in this world are ambassadors. We were sent here on Earth with a mission. Not all of us have the same mission and not all of us have the same opportunities but we all have a mission and that mission can be accomplished to the best of our abilities if we want.
You can alter the facts sometimes and see things not quite the way they are. However, you can become invisible to those facts and become divine as long as you remember that you were sent here as an ambassador, and your job, my job, each and every human being's job is to do the best that we can with whatever capacity we have.
Wherever you were born, into whatever family, or whatever socio-economic level, it's irrelevant; you can do whatever you want as long as you be an ambassador. You're representing divine light. We have a soul and that soul is permeated with goodness, kindness, strength, wisdom, knowledge, and abilities, and understanding. It can explode; it is so phenomenally loaded with good things, yet many of us don't look at things or ourselves or others as ambassadors.
We think in a constricted way, I think I'm just a person, I'm just one body, how could I make changes? The truth is, you are an ambassador and so am I. We're all ambassadors, and if you have a talent, if you have a quality, whatever it is that's in your possession that was given to you for you to make this place a better place than it is when you found it, so do it. The world deserves it.

Have you been told, “Who you are is what your life is going to be,”?
It is said that depending upon where you live, will determine the kind of life you will have. Let me say that this is inaccurate.
You may say, “But I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I’ve failed in so many things. I am where I am and what I have is my life.”
This is true for today, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Whatever you wish for yourself, you can be.
Your challenge is to learn from your failures, rather than being stubborn and refusing to admit to them, or even trying to rationalize them. Learn from your failures, transform every single one of them into a force for further spiritual growth.
Do what you wish and you can be what you want to be. You don’t have to think it, you have to act it. This is your life. If you don’t like where you are, change it.
A tree does not have this opportunity, but you and I, as human beings, we do. We can make those changes any time we wish.
Let that be the wish for you. That you be what you would like to be and make those changes one step at a time and enjoy life, the way you deserve it.

If you want to start your day successfully, it’s particularly helpful to immerse yourself in prayer first thing in the morning. When we confront the world anew each morning, our planet and everything in it, can seem to exist self-sufficiently, as if there was no Creator at all. Morning prayers will help you recognize that the world could not exist on its own and that its purpose is to be made into a home where the Creator can reside.
Beginning your day this way will help you consciously avoid activities that don’t further this goal. It will help take care of things that are appropriate, necessary, and helpful to make this world a better place. Using every moment and every opportunity to fulfill this purpose is why we are created.
If you’re prepared, you can engage in worldly pursuits and you won’t fear that they will become waters that engulf you. You won’t even be overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or distractions. You will be focused and you will be happy.
Starting with a prayer will give you the ability to know where you are going, what you are doing, and what you are doing it for.
Start with a prayer every day. Choose a prayer of its own character, of its own built. Choose one that makes you feel good and has meaning. That is the ultimate way to start your day.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 175 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
In my younger years when I was in college, I had an apartment filled with pots and beautiful flowers and plants. I enjoyed taking care of them. I lived by myself, so it was something which helped me. It was somewhat of a therapy. I would regularly water them, cut them, trim them, and make sure that these plants got enough light.
Love is like wildflowers. Wildflowers are often found in the most unlikely places; but they need regular care as well. These wildflowers don't need anyone per se other than divine blessings from heaven that take care of them. Often you have to give more of yourself. That's what it takes. It seems that almost all of our unhappiness is the result of comparing ourselves to others, comparing in such a way where we find ourselves not as worthy, as smart, as beautiful, as rich. Often, people know and think that they can't do much about their appearance; but the truth is, we have total control over the kind of person we become.
As you know, what matters in life is not so much how much we've got or what we do, but what we become. In the pursuit of what we try to get, what kind of person do we become? Are we kind and gentle? Are we giving? Sharing? Do we do for others without any desire of return favors or do we expect something back in return? Do we plant flowers just so we could look at them and enjoy them, or do we do it for a specific reason? That's what life is.
No one is guaranteed happiness. Life just gives us time and space. It's up to us to fill it in the best way that we want to; and even though at times you could do for others certain favors that will never see any return, some of those are the most rewarding. We should all plant trees that we will never sit under. It's such a beautiful thought, if you think about it. Doing something for someone else without asking anything back in return. That should be our regular care. It should be the way that each and every day is part of our life. Nothing specific, just give without asking anything back. This is the ultimate way to live.

You may ask the question, "Is it true that joy can break all boundaries?" The answer is yes. Now, what boundaries are we speaking about? Boundaries are constrictions. They are feelings of fear and feelings of demolition and destruction; things that hinder your future, hinder your past, and keep you in a dark place. Those boundaries can be broken at any given time.
If at any time you feel that the world is caving in on you and things are not able to be accomplished, you're not able to move forward. If you're not able to break loose from the situation that you're in, be it physical, spiritual, psychological, or even emotional, then you need to switch from wherever you are now, into joy. Joy breaks all boundaries. When you are joyous, nothing stands in your way. If I remain I, then I can never experience infinity, divinity, goodness because I remain just me. In life, you don't need to be perfect; you need to be accountable; so, look back at what it is that's restricting you at this point.
What is it that's holding you back? What is it that's taking you away from where you should be? Is it really necessary to stay with this much pain within you, to have this much ambition in the things that are not necessary? Why would you want to go that route?
You don't need it. You can be free and you can certainly, at any given time, be happy. Joy breaks all boundaries. By staying joyous, being joyous, and thinking about all the good things that were given to you; analyzing your situation and awakening your passion, you can catapult your goals and brighten your future, maximize your capabilities and challenge any dreams at any given time. It's a matter of replenishing your enthusiasm and recognizing who you are. It's true, you are currently facing something which is terrible or at least, it seems that way. But you've been given all the strength and the power to overcome it, so why not use it because you deserve it?

It was said “A truly courageous person is not someone who never feels fear but someone who fears the right thing in the right way, at the right time.” This was said by Aristotle, a philosopher.
What are the true sources of fear? Many people today are scared of what might happen to them in the future because of the economy, because of their health or because of their age. Things are happening; companies are changing so people have the fear of losing their job. The fear of getting sick perhaps, or the fear to, at any given time, being able to use their true feelings where it needs to be. It's a loss of control in our society and there's a sense that one quake after another will shift all the foundations of our society and will continue to shift it towards nothing good. Those words are completely destroyable, so the person feels desperate. Now these scare people because they feel they will be helpless.
The truth is, you are never without options that can get you back on track, never. You have to accept responsibility for your own future. Every generation has overcome challenges and prospered; just read a history book and you'll see. A truly courageous person is not immune to fear but it plays a different role in their lives. Their fears are about not living up to their ideals. They are afraid about not taking advantage of the opportunities that are always within reach; fear of nothing but fear itself.
Patients who at times in hospitals or in convalescent homes fear that they're going to die. Do you know what helps them through the day? Knowing that they are loved by others and that they can make it through. When you're always looking somewhere else, that's when your fears come. If you want to look at life, look at yourself, look what you've gone through up until now, and the things you've been able to accomplish. You will see, it's quite amazing.
Give yourself the credit to know that you've been able to overcome so many obstacles. You can keep on going and you can do so much more than this. Don't let fear bother you, or the fear itself become an object of your responsibilities to be turned off. Be what you can be and you'll be given the courage because you deserve it; and never fear anything but fear itself. Don't let it stop you. You can be whatever you want at anytime, anywhere.

Are children’s race, color, or creed conscience? Actually, not at all.
Children are color blind; and their creed and unconscious. They only know human beings, the way the good Lord has created; each and every one of us.
Children, unfortunately have to be taught to hate people of other colors and religion. It is us, the adults, through foolish pride and false prejudice that make children afraid of who they are and what they have.
It is the adults who take out unity from the community. There are many pathways to reach the goal of loving other people, being kind to others and making this world a wonderful place to live. One of them is called tolerance.
We typically display true love for our fellow man when we cease to demand that others change their ideas or revise themselves the way they think of the way they do things, to fit our own belief.
Tolerance is the positive effort to understand another person’s belief and practice without necessarily accepting their point of view. You do what you wish, and I'll accept you. I may not agree, I may even strongly disagree, but I will accept you.
Why not be tolerant of each other? Teach not only children but our fellow human beings around the world to be accepting of everyone, everything, and all the time.
This would be such a beautiful place to start to change our world.

There was once a story about a lone traveler who was crossing the snowy mountain late at night. He knew that if he fell asleep death would inevitably follow. He struggled bravely against his sense of sleep, which actually weighed down his eye lids; and it was slowly creeping up on him.
At this moment of crisis, his feet struck something that was lying across his path. He bent over and found that it was a human body buried beneath the snow. He was stunned by this finding.
He picked up the person and within a short period of time he found himself holding the body of this person in his arms and rubbing them. All limbs were absolutely frozen.
In order to restore some sort of life into that person, he held him close in his arms. After a short period of time, with the warmth and energy that he exerted, the person actually came back to life and was very thankful.
What a blessing.
We often have the ability and the possibility, if we want, to help another person. Saving their life can mean giving them happiness. Understand that if you want happiness you actually have to give happiness.
Happiness is something that you have within you, that you can share with others. Saving a life does not have to be a cataclysmic change out in the mountain where you find a person who is almost dead. It can be just a simple word, a smile, a kind gesture to someone else.
This in itself calls for the saving of that life, and how long did it take?
What did it cost? Very little.
So, why not be kind? Why not give? Why not share? Why not be all that you can be in the way that you were created, and make this world the most beautiful place in the universe.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 170 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond How we feel about ourselves is a matter of choice, rather than circumstances? The major determining factor of how we feel about ourselves lies in our true personal philosophy. Ask people whom you know why they feel a certain way about certain things or certain issues. You will most likely discover the reason why they feel this way is they really do not know how to deal with issues in their lives. Lacking information… not being able to make proper conclusions… not being able to put together the bits and pieces of our lives… these things can make it challenging, if not impossible, to move forward. If we knew better we would feel better. Why would we feel better? We would begin to make better decisions and from those decisions we could do so much more with better choices and better results. Imagine for instance, the artist who wants to paint a masterpiece, but only has only a few colors on his palette, what would he do? He has this desire to create this masterpiece, unfortunately he lacks a variety of colors, and while he could be painting a true masterpiece, and in his mind, it is beyond anything he has done before, it is limited because he is lacking these colors. This is what happens to human beings. If you have a limited knowledge, the mental colors with which to create the whole picture can be faulty. So be careful about what you do, of your mental state, and be very careful of the knowledge that you use in making the right choice. Use it properly so that you can benefit yourself and the rest of the world. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

What would happen if we all put our minds together to work, read more books, take classes, and discover new ways to refine who we are and the philosophy that we believe we in?
What would happen if we all develop a new attitude about our past, a new vision about our future, and change the way we are today regarding our present?
What would happen? Where would we be? What would change? Think about that.
Each of us already have enough mental, spiritual, intellectual, and creative power to do all that we can and everything that we dream of doing. Everyone has it.
So, what stops us from it?
The answer is very simple: it’s a poor attitude. It’s a poor attitude about who we are and what we have in this world. The fact that we don’t recognize our strength and our belief to be whatever we wish to be. Why are we so quick to see this values in others, but so reluctant to see it in ourselves?
Why is it that at times we are ready to applaud someone else’s accomplishments, but we can’t recognize our own?
Poor attitude is a disease and it can spread a tremendous amount of destruction through everything about you. You don’t need that— change your attitude! Change yourself and you can change the world around you and everything about you will become better, stronger, and higher. You can have a different life and you can live in an unprecedented way, from here on out.

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. Know that everything will turn out to be alright.
Be humble. You're not perfect. You know that. Recognize your weaknesses and ignore some of them but know that you can change them if you want to. Change them so you can make yourself better.
Here’s one last thing that you can use more than anything else: Silence. Choose your words carefully when you speak and don't talk unless you've been asked for something, and say something that is worthwhile. Otherwise, keep it to yourself. This is what it means to be yourself, your true self, and it is within you.
These are not my ideas or concepts of what I think you should be. This is what everyone should be, all of us, and we could do it. This is the way we were created. At any given time, we have the opportunity to change and make this world a better place than when we first came here. Make that difference!

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 that you’ve been wanting to do. Go visit those people you’ve been wanting to see. Go visit the places you’ve been wanting to sight see. This is the time of your life when everything is in your hand and all the powers have been given to you.
Why you? Because you deserve it! You are a creator and a created being. You’re the creator of your future and you’re a creator of the person that you are.
Make things happen, your way. Do it right and do it well. While you’re doing this, help others come with you and do the right things. Because that’s what the world is all about. Making this place a beautiful, unbelievable, unprecedented area, where G-dliness, goodness, greatness, holiness can reside with us at all times. Do it.
Not why you, but, why not you?

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 the wind. Always be there to catch the process and analyze— but move forward, always forward. Never stop. Never think of the past, but look to your future. Be there so that you can grow, so that you can change. Be there wherever you are.

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 it down in this very simple format:
What is of importance?
What is time sensitive?
What is of need?
What is of great opportunity?
What is of less opportunity?
Once you break it down, write it down and configure a plan. “No plan is a plan to fail,” as the saying goes. Make a plan and you will overcome. It will no longer be overwhelming, but rather easy and good. It will be good for you and good for the world.
Take this opportunity to get rid of all the extraneous complications and make it happen.

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 do it. That is where anxiety stops and happiness starts. Happiness will take you wherever you wish to go, as long as you pay attention to all the other details and pay attention to your life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 the mirror, the mirror reflects you. The same with the world. You attract the kind of goodness you want around you, this is all about “you”. The world was created just for you and I. Therefore, whatever you wish, and whatever direction you choose that is what is reflected in the Heavens. From the deepest part of your heart you can reach the highest spheres of Heaven. This is how you can change the world and change yourself anytime that you wish. It's a mirror— it is not about trust, faith, or belief.
Be careful with what you say, what you think or what you do because this is the way you write your whole future from here on out.

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 that business to become that “guiding light” for you. Selecting a mentor as a “guiding light” is not just a matter of finding someone you like or feel comfortable identifying with; make sure that this person knows how do you choose or that their genuine history shows success, that they've helped other people. It's quite amazing how many people choose a mentor or a guide without looking at their past.
In addition to selecting your coach or mentor, or “guiding light” based on their ability to achieve their goal similar to you, or to your own, you have to choose someone in the process that have been able to overcome some of the same obstacles you're facing. Ideally, I would say that someone who really represents both what you want to become in the particular area of life and what do you want to do.
Seeing your mentor today is like seeing what you intend to be. This mentor or “guiding light” has arrived or has been in a place similar to you prior to getting there and now they are where you want to be. Choosing a celebrity or public figure is questionable, to say the least, and I'm not suggesting anything to disparage them, but this isn't the right thing to do it if you really want to look for opportunities. Look for a mentor that's going to be truly selective about what he or she says to you, and is truly interested in you. Someone whom you can trust and who has a history of guiding others towards the good path; someone of integrity and honesty.

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” of yours that make you think that you are not who you are. You are better than you think.
You have within yourself the power to change the world at any given time. All you have to do is make the decision that this is what you want, and everything will change. You can change yourself and you can change the world around you.
After today you never have to be the same again, only by choice. So, what are you waiting for?

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 know that what we are doing is correct, proper, and opportune. It must not only benefits ourselves, but others. This is how we stay away from distorted conclusions. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 to control it or force it, it doesn't come. The channels of creativity are blocked because creativity to emerge, requires letting go. The same thing is about the true essence of G-dliness or the Supreme Being, or even things we don't understand. Once you stop looking, that's when you find it. When you stop searching and asking, that's when the answers are given. So, don't get yourself so bogged down on questions and details, and answers.
Live through life with a good attitude. Let yourself be moved by the good things. See yourself as you are and admit who you truly are, and live a good life of goodness, of sharing. Know that everything you do, has an effect on the world and be careful not to make it difficult, complicated, or somewhat dangerous for anyone. You do represent yourself and the world but at the same time, you have the ability to change things around you and around the world.
Know that everything that you do, everything that you have, was given to you for a purpose. The purpose to make this place a better place for G-dliness and goodness, and divinity to exist. Whether or not you believe in G-d has nothing to do with it; it has to do with the world itself, and if you just let go, you'll get everything that you want and everything that you need.

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 you need so you have to keep your distance.
On the other hand, a wicked person is not necessarily a bad neighbor, if he's not in the position to influence you. From him, you must not distance yourself. Indeed, on the contrary, you have to befriend him. You have to draw close to him and help him improve himself, all the while taking care not to cling to him and emulate his ways. In other words, the evil in another is never the cause of your rejection of him, only your sensibility and susceptibility to what is evil for you. On the contrary, the wickedness of your fellow, it is all the more reason to become involved with him, and prevail upon him to cling to the positive in yourself.
That's what life is all about. Sharing your positive experiences and your depth of knowledge of good.
Now you may say, "How do I know if I am that person?"
You'll know because at any given time, you'll be able to influence others, and if you see that you are a person of influence, if you see that you have that talent, that ability, then do it.
Sometime ago when I started these lessons, I had no idea that it would reach that many people throughout the world; no idea. I wasn't even intending, actually, on reaching thousands and thousands of listeners but I knew one thing: that words that came from the heart would enter someone else's heart. So I started these podcasts and I have not stopped since then. If you have a talent, if you have a gift, if you have knowledge, if you have something to share, give it. The world expects at all times to learn and grow from you because of the abilities you've been given. It's a gift; share it with the world. Otherwise, it's just wasted.
Think of it like a book with tremendous knowledge that just sits on a table and nobody ever picks it up. What a shame, what a waste. But if that book could go from place to place and person to person and be read by so many others, wouldn't that book now be of great value to the whole world? So it is with your gifts, your knowledge, your understanding, and all the things you have. Use them in good health and share it with others. The world deserves it and so do you.

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 you understand the difference? You may think darkness is something which is created, but it's not. Darkness is only there when there is no light. Bring a light in and the darkness goes away. So being a positive influence, influencing your environment, the people around you: your friends, your family, your colleagues, your neighbors, your neighborhood, being a positive influence in everything in this world, is what makes this world worthwhile, by what you do, what you say, what you accomplish. Unfortunately, if you don't do these things, if you're not being a positive influence, you bring darkness in the world because the light is missing, because the goodness is lacking, because you're not transforming and transcending the world to be greater. You're just letting it be the way it is. The way the world is, is wonderful but the mission of a human being on earth is to make this world a better place. Think about the developments in these last few years in our lives. Technology has changed completely the way we live, the way we think, the way we act, the way we shop, the way we communicate. Everything is changing at a fast pace because technology is the advancement of the world and the progression of the way that the world is going. It's to be welcomed, it's to be mastered, it's to be used, it's to be enjoyed. But that technology would not have come had it not been a positive influence from people wanting to change and make this place a better place to be. Having access to all this cyber information, technology, and all of the things that we find today is such a beautiful superhighway of knowledge. Use it well, but also be the influence that you can be. Be the person that needs to be there. Be a positive influence to yourself because if you don't change yourself and bring goodness, you can't change the world. Unless you yourself become good, how can you spread goodness?
So help the world become a better place than it was when you first came and be a positive influence to everything and everyone around you.

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 tend to see sometimes only the trees, while really, a capable friend is more likely to see the whole forest. Objectivity, when it is brought to us in a wise council and in a proper way, could make a difference. It can prevent us from reaching faulty conclusions and this also could be based with familiarity with our lives or even the environment we live in.
Why not find a friend.
Someone you trust.
Someone your respect.
Someone you actually look up to.
Ask them to give me some answers, guide me, help me. This will be a great benefit to you. This is the “outside voice” that will guide you for many, many years to come.
Make yourself a good friend and council with them as many times as you need to.

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 each one of us thinks about the major differences will make a difference on where we will arrive. The major difference is not the wind blowing, but the set of the sail. So, when you listen to the wind blowing outside, it is the same for everyone, everywhere in the world. What will make a difference in your life is how you react, how you live, and what you do with your day. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 judgements and changes that will determine your acts and all the given circumstances that will happen in the future. From now on, nothing has to be the same anymore, only by choice, you have this opportunity. I suggest you take it and do it now, because you deserve it! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 refuse to follow the recommendations?
The same when it goes to advice for a personal being. Let's say, a person's given advice as to what they need to follow. It's sound advice, but they say, "I don't want to follow it." Does that make sense? It is not my duty to force people to act in accordance with my opinion, and it is not my habit to persuade people in general to conform with my views or opinions. As a matter of fact, it's not even my custom to use harsh words. By writing this book, I'm only suggesting that there are times when a person needs to listen to advice.
Good advice is always healthy, of course, you may want to double check it. But if you're not sure, as we gave in the example earlier, you may want to check it with someone else, a second, third opinion if you have to. But advice that is valuable should make you change your ways. Don't be so rigid that you stay one way, and irrespective of the reasoning behind this advice, you decide not to change. If you have been told that something needs to be changed and something needs to be improved about your life, be it physical, spiritual, or practical, or even psychological, in any way, shape, or form, make the change. Sound advice is always good. This is not about me or about you. It's about the world.
By you becoming a better person, you will affect many, many more people and you'll affect the world which will change everything else around us. You'll affect me too. That's what life is, making things better around you so you can make this place a better place to live, not just for you, for all of us. Why not listen to the sound advice that you heard?

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.
Fourth, act and react both mentally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Do whatever you can in your power to change it, to conform it to a place that is more real for you.
You may say, "But it is painful, what should I do?" You don't have to accept it. You can refute it, and with enough positive energy, you can overcome it. As a matter of fact, our purpose in this world is not to eradicate darkness or conceal it, but it is to bring more light. Focus on the light, focus on the goodness, focus on the good things, and you'll see that you'll be able to overcome any obstacle.
One more thing, which is important to know: if it is painful or hurtful, or somehow to a certain extent, difficult for you to accept, know that you're not alone. There are other people who are there with you and you can overcome it. Join yourself with a group: siblings, family members, or colleagues and pray, and your answers will come through, guaranteed.

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 core of your being. That part never gets tarnished or never gets sullied by anything. It's you.
Now of course, you'll meet people along the way that might guide you or misguide you. You'll meet people along the way that might lead you or push you. You'll meet people along the way that might even at times hurt you, but the core being of who you are and what you've got that will always be you, and that's your soul. Once you're in touch with your soul and you are loyal to it, know that it has a mission to accomplish in this world. The mission is quite simple: do everything you can within your power on any given moment to be better today than you were yesterday.
“That's all it is.” Now you may say, "Well, what does that mean practically? What do I have to look for? What are the things that I have to do?"
Loyal to yourself means not wearing a mask, knowing exactly who you are. When a person wears a mask, they cover everything up. You don't have to do that. You just need to be loyal to yourself and know who you are by accepting the core as well as the outer shell of your being. Once you reach that, you're a different person. You now have no more excuses to make up and no more options or answers to give to anyone else. That's who you are. That's who you are meant to be. Be loyal to yourself and to your soul, and do the best that you can in everything you do.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 37 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever wondered how many people read the newspapers every day? Why do you think they read the newspaper? Is it to find out about life? Or news about other countries? About politics? New developments? Why is that? There are people who wake up in the morning, and as soon as they rise they listen to the radio to hear the latest news. Then they hurry to get the paper so they can read all of the details memorizing the names of all the personalities, and all the details that they’ve read. Then they go back to the radio to ensure that what they’ve read is updated on every single detail that they may have missed. If you want to find out about the news and you are interested in the world’s development, why not just read the headlines? You would be better off this way. You must feed your dreams but starve your fears - not the other way around. You would have a much better day if you were to follow this advice. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 147 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Often, people are so concerned about directives and rules. They hear the term “conform” and are unhappy about it. They say, "Why should I conform? Why should I follow the rules?"
The truth is, one way or the other, a person will have to conform with rules. That's just the way the world is set up. One or the other person will have to follow the right way. Might as well do it now.
If you think about it, there's no question that each and every one of us have to follow certain rules. Now when we were young, there are rules at school. We learn to follow what the teacher wants us to do and what we're supposed to, and follow all of the directives that we're given.
As we grow older, we realize that in order for us to drive or to have a job, or to earn a living, or to be married, or to have children, or start a company, or do whatever we want to do, there are directives and rules that we have to follow.
For instance, you don't need to learn how to earn, but you need to learn how to live. That is what a true lifestyle is all about. It's not a rule; it's a directive but it becomes a rule if you want, at the end of the day, to live a special, unique lifestyle, one that you designed for yourself. These are things that set you free, and the truth will set you free. Once you know that, once you know who you are, once you know what you have, even though this is true, you still have to conform.
Why not conform early enough? Why wait until you're so much older and then realize, why didn't I do it earlier? That's just the way the world is. There are rules, there are directives, and there are all kinds of issues that have to be worked on.
What you can do is use these to your advantage. Make these rules a set of discipline to help you become better. Use these directives as a set of guides in order for you to reach your goals at a faster pace with better opportunities to get you where you want to be. It can be different, but use it in the best way. It's the difference between living versus existing. You have many thoughts and many ways. The choice is yours. I suggest you follow the directives and the rules now.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 146 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You may have heard of the great electrical engineer, Charles Steinmetz. He was once asked, “In what line of research would see the greatest development in the next many years?” Instead of mentioning some line of electrical application, he said the following, "There is a force which history clearly teaches us to accept as being one of the greatest power in the development of man and history, yet we have merely been playing with it and have never seriously studied it as we have the physical forces.” Someday people will learn that material things don’t bring happiness and are of little use in making men and women creative and powerful. Then the scientists of the world will turn the laboratories over to the study of G-d and prayer. The spiritual forces have hardly been touched. When this day comes, the world will see more advancements in one generation than it has in the past 50 to 80 years. Isn’t this incredible? Science is not the answer. Life, true life, spiritual life, physical life, in its ultimate is where the answer life. I hope we reach it soon enough. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 145 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A couple of days ago, I drove by a street and was taken aback by what I saw. On the sidewalk, on all four corners, from one side of the street to the other, instead of having just those parallel lines where the pedestrians walk, I actually saw keyboards. Someone, in a genuine and unadulterated manner, but in such a beautiful way, had drawn piano keys. The full keyboards on all sidewalks. As you go around and see the cross street on one side sidewalk to the other, instead of walking between parallel lines and just blank asphalt, you actually walked on piano keys.
Then, I saw something very interesting: on each side of the street was a young boy that kept waiting for the light to turn red and then he would run back and forth as though he was playing the keyboards using his feet, making music. I thought this was so original.
I'm not sure exactly who came up with this idea but it's quite unique. If you think about it, who would take the time to draw a keyboard on each side of the street? Obviously, that person had to have authorization because the keyboard crossed the whole way from one side to the other. Now it was designed in such a way where you actually believe that while you are walking and crossing the street, you are playing notes.
Isn't that life in its ultimate way? If you think about that. Isn't it what each day represents, a different note on a keyboard of a symphony of our life? Each and every day represent a sound, and if you listen to it all together, that is the symphony of your life and mine. It's the music that we play.
Sometimes, when we miss a note and somehow put the pressure on the wrong key it sounds somewhat different. But in reality, the symphony doesn't realize that one note was missing. It was just a note. So, sometimes when you find yourself making a mistake throughout the day, don't focus on that mistake. Don't look so hard and punish yourself by saying, "Look what I did." Why not look at the whole symphony and know that at the end of days, the symphony that you've created is a beautiful part of music that makes the world and your world enchanting, loving, caring, and giving? So, enjoy it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 144 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond G-d Almighty, Master of the universe, King of all kings, Ruler of the world, I thank You. I thank You that I am standing here today and everything I will say will be like nothing in comparison to how much I truly need to thank You. For everything, I need to thank You, because everything is from You. I thank You for the things that are in this world. Thinking on the countless times that You’ve helped me, You supported me, You saved me, You made me happy, You healed me, You watched over me, You encouraged me. Thank You for always being there with me. Thank You for giving me the strength to do good deeds, and the strength to pray. Thank You for all the times You’ve helped me and I did not know how to say, “Thank You”. Thank You for the kindness You do for me every second of the day, and thank You for helping me breathe freely. Also, for the things that I don’t have. I know that sometimes there are things that are difficult for me or, and I am even sad at times, but I know that everything is for my good. Although I don’t always see it, I thank You. I know deep in my heart everything comes from You, and it is the best thing for me. It was all made especially for me. The exact, perfect, Divine Providence. Like only the King of all kings can do. So, thank You for it, and thank You for the hard times, because this is the only way that I can appreciate the good. And only after we’re found in the darkness can we appreciate the light. Thank You for the wonderful life You give me. Thank You for every little thing I have, because everything You gave me, You gave to no-one else. Thank You for always hearing my prayers, Creator of the world. I’m asking You for forgiveness from the deepness of my heart, that if at times I didn’t appreciate what You gave me, instead of saying, “Thank You,” I complained. I truly thank You.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 143 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought about the shadows that are out there? Depending on the time of the day and the sun’s location in the sky, the very same object’s shadow will be either short and fat or tall and thin. This is fascinating because, since your shadow is always with you, it is a built-in compass. As long as you are not in a forest, or a city full of skyscrapers, it is there. Following you wherever you go. Just as the movement of a person’s body is reflected and magnified in his shadow, every step of our conduct in this world arouses spiritual forces of incomparable power. Every action that you do in this physical world has tremendous reaction and ramification in the world of spirits. But, the concept of our attitude in this world impacts the spiritual as well. And it’s not limited to a physical action, it also includes even the world of thoughts. Everything you do, everything you say, affects everything else. People who are connected with each other, friends or family, can often feel when someone is thinking about them. If the thought is a warm one, one that shows concern for the person’s situation, it can have lasting benefits. It can, philosophically, help a person spiritually and even materially. You thought that a shadow was just an image cast on a surface by a body intercepting light. It’s much more than that. A shadow is actually a reflection of you, both materially and spiritually, and it has everlasting effect on the world. So, let your shadow be a true reflection of the person you want to be. Dedication, simplicity, patience, character, duty, talent, kindness… Let it be you. And let it be forever given. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

How can you create true unity? After all, some of us are leaders while others are followers. What could human beings of such wide spectrum of social standing possibly have in common?
The answer is given by a great man who said, “Firstly, who is to say, who is ultimately higher on the ladder of achievement? Appearances can be deceiving and we tend to over-evaluate ourselves while under-evaluating others.
“Secondly,” he continued, “even if we had evaluated ourselves correctly, just because we excel at one particular aspect of life doesn’t mean that there are no other aspects others exceed us. Everyone is a leader in some way. Therefore, our collective success depends on every person’s unique contribution to the world.
“Thirdly,” he said, “The difference between the Creator and any creature is infinite. Realizing our own puniness relative to G-d’s absolute reality eliminates any feeling of superiority over other people. You see, when we consider these three perspectives we can truly stand united together. Not only with feelings of love towards each other, but with behavior that testifies to the truth of these feelings.”
Why not help one another? Why not love one another? Why not unite?
True unity can be created when we realize these three aspects of protocols or systems that we’ve spoken about. These are truths. The earlier we figure it out, the better our world will be. Let’s try to work with one another, and let’s make this world the best place in the universe, because we deserve it.
This is something that you and I can do, so why not try and change the world?

Is there someone in your life with whom you’ve had a misunderstanding? A fight? A dispute? Or even a grudge you’re holding against that person?
Why not make up?
Would it be different if that person was not well? Or you heard that this person was possibly dying? How would you feel?
Making up is one more reason why the world was created with a certain amount of time. We are each given so many days to live. Days to do good and days to do great things. When days come where we do things which are either inappropriate or inadvertently wrong, then we need to forgive and forget. Especially if that wrong has been done to us. One doesn’t decide what happens to him but one does decide what he wants to do with what happens to him.
That is within your power.
The dignity of kindness is something that you need. So, why not make up? This one person that you are angry at, or haven’t spoken to for a few days — why not give them a call? Be it a friend, a parent, a family member, a colleague, a neighbor — whomever it may be. Don’t stay angry. That doesn’t help, and it certainly does not bring you blessings — it only brings you the opposite of goodness.
Use this time and take this opportunity right now as you finish reading this message. Text, call, or even go visit this person and make up. Why not make up and get over it?
Make life worth it — make it worthwhile. Because you and the other person deserve to be happy and you can do it. At first it may feel strange, especially if you believe that you were in the right. But what’s the difference?
Why not make up and forget about it?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 140 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is one character trait that is so beautiful and particular to the refinement of your life, and that is patience.
Many people say, "What does patience have to say and what does patience have to do with me?"
Patience says so much about a person. It describes how confident they are in their life and how sure they are of the results of their activities. By taking a minute and realizing that everything in this world has its place and has its time by using the character trait of patience, you will see so much in your life, that other people cannot.
The key indeed to everything is patience. It says that you get the chicken by waiting for the egg to hatch, not by smashing it. Have you ever heard that expression? It is true; if you smash it, you'll never see that chicken. But if you are patient and you let it happen, you'll see what comes out.
For happiness, one needs security, but for joy, that springs just like a flower, even from these cliffs of despair, you need patience.
There's always room for improvement in everything that we do, always. As they say, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement, and that's what life is all about. Why not take a moment and realize, is this my life the way that I want it to be? If not, be patient. Use patience as a “catalyst” to make things different.
Don't despair and realize that you will get there. It may take time and you might not realize everything that you wish, but by trying and trying harder every single moment, and having patience on your side, you will accomplish so much.
Not only that, there's something else about being patient; people will admire you, people will envy you, people around you will say, "What a kind person. What an amazing individual." By seeing you being patient they'll realize that there's so much more to this world than just rushing and getting there before anything else happens.
Make patience, the solid rock of your character and build on it, and take a minute to appreciate all of it, because you deserve it.

The Japanese are masterful in developing tiny, dwarf trees. These trees, which would normally grow sixteen or seventeen feet tall, grow only a few inches high.
How? By removing them from their soil, snipping off their buds, and using micro-fertilization, these little trees stay very small and grow just a few inches high.
I ask you this question; how is your mind? What are you doing to it?
If you take it away from its strength and its connection to G-dliness, goodness, holiness, and greatness you would be the same as these miniature trees. Why take it away and keep it away from fertilization?
The fertilization in this case, is the goodness of things that you do, things that you have, people that you know, and the lessons that you learn.
Why would you do this? Why would you, at any given time, give all of it away?
Let your mind grow. Let you grow, and reach the highest level by performing everything that you would want in your life. Replenish your enthusiasm. Remove all doubts and resolve your dreams. You can achieve success, accomplish ambition, and you can accelerate your vision above and beyond. Do it. You can do anything you want – unless you prefer to be a miniature tree.
I wish the best for you, and so does G-d– He wants you to be the best. Why not use the opportunity to celebrate your success? Get rid of these ambiguities, and be who you want to be.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 137 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I once heard a story about the Chinese, who have a tale about a little fish. The story goes like this:
There was once a little fish who overheard one fisherman say to another, “Have you ever stopped to think how essential water is to life? Why, without water our earth would dry up, and everything in it would die. All the living things would stop to exist.”
Now the little fish, who heard this, became panic stricken. He said, “Why, if this is the truth, and this comes from men who have higher understanding... I must find water immediately! If not, I could also die!”
The little fish in dread of what would happen frantically started swimming around everywhere and asking everyone around him where he could find this water that was so precious to life. No one had ever heard the word before, or no one had ever asked that question.
So, he went from lake to lake, from place to place, from river to river, but to no success. Until he finally travelled to the sea. He went to the biggest ocean in the world and once he reached the deepest part of the ocean, this little fish found himself in the presence of the oldest and wisest fish of them all.
The little fish said, “I have been traveling for days, and weeks, and months, and I have to find it because I heard from one of the humans that water was necessary for us to live, and I need to know where can I find this basic essence of life called water?”
Now this ancient sage, this biggest and wisest fish of all said, “Water? Why, you are in it right now! You were back in it when you were at home in your own lake, months before you left. You breathe it constantly, and you bathe in it, and you live in it. And if you die, you’ll die in it. But as long as you’re in it you’ll be safe.”
The little fish could not believe what he had just heard. He had realized that he had water all the time and he was swimming in it, living in it, and did not even know it.
This is life as it often is. It’s like a plant – it keeps on growing and sometimes we don’t appreciate it. I hope you do.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 136 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a story told about a young child who was spending a vacation on a farm. He had been raised in the city and he did not know much. He was shown a hen sitting on a nest of eggs and told that someday a little chicken, small chicks, would actually come out from each one of those eggs. Now you can imagine, the child at this time was delighted and so excited. This was a dramatic idea and every single morning he rushed to the hen to find out if the eggs had hatched. He was looking for the miracle-day every single morning. With great anticipation, he would run to the hen, but every day that passed, nothing happened. The eggs still looked exactly the same. Over time, the boy’s face waned and he became disappointed. One day he gave up hope all together, and he told himself that he had been deceived and nothing would ever happen. The next day, however out of habit, he went to see the nest as usual, without any hope. But on that very day, lo and behold, it was such a joy to see a group of beautiful little chickens running around. His happiness was ecstatic. Now of course, we know that wonderful changes had been taking place all this time behind the little shells and that there was nothing to show for it… Until the very last moment, when these chicks, which were not quite ready, but when they were perfect and complete they emerged from there as chicks. In life, miracles happen all the time. We don’t see them. We often lose faith and lose hope. But don’t. The hold that you have on your mind or the hold that you have in your thoughts should not be there. These miracles happen. They happen all the time. Give it time; sometimes give it space. But most of all, give it your trust. Give it your belief. And let these miracles happen – you will be pleased that you did. You will be surprised when the day comes. And this will indeed be a great day – the opportunity for you to enjoy, see, and share in the beauty of the miracle. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

It was written that when you see the stars, each one moves along its own prescribed path with precision impossible to attain in any mechanism constructed by man.
When you see a seed grow and turn into a tree, or a baby develop into a self-directed human individuality, can you believe or even say that this is the result of a haphazard happening? That would seem so ludicrous. Such belief is beyond comprehension that it doesn’t make any sense.
Once, a 16th century physician said, “We human beings are walking drugstores. In the human being there is a present, invisible physician who produces, prescribes, dispenses, and administers suitable remedies as occasions commence. Had He not created these internal remedies, notwithstanding all the experts of all our physicians, not a single creature of the earth would remain alive.”
Just imagine that for a moment. This physician knew the truth, and he understood that, even though he was in the 16th century. Many of our great scientists understand that. As a human being you must understand and believe that there is a G-d above that created the whole world, and has formulated for us an unbelievable opportunity to make this world a magical place.
Even though there are no magical remedies that help us survive, as long as we recognize that there is a G-d above, this could be an amazing world indeed.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 134 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond So many people are searching… Searching everywhere for happiness, guidance, and information. It’s interesting that in our modern civilization, where everyone could have their own individuality, many people depend on others and what’s around them to make up the information that they gather, which shapes their own individuality. Now people use radio, television, advertising, newspapers, and the internet. The information highway is so diversified and people use whatever means there are available to search for happiness. Most people don’t even form their own value to find real happiness. Some people don’t even know where to look. What we need to remember is that instead of walking around and looking for happiness, why not look within ourselves? The happiness that we receive from ourselves is greater than what we can obtain from any place or anybody. It has been said that the world in which a man lives, shapes itself chiefly by the way in which he looks at it. It’s your opportunity, it’s your world, you can do what you wish with it. You can create your own happiness, and you don’t have to look very far. Some people feel that they have to travel to the other side of the world but happiness often is right there where you are, waiting for you. Just accept it, use it, and make the best of it, because you deserve it. It’s your life after all. You have the choice. You can decide to choose something else, or you can follow all the voices in the world that will pull you one way or the other. But G-d, the ultimate Creator in this world, has implanted in you the confidence, knowledge, and ability to be happy by yourself; and you can tap into that any time you wish. I hope that you find it, because you deserve it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 133 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Once, when I was young, my parents gave me the pleasure and took us on a vacation; we were there by the ocean. They convinced me that it was a beautiful time to spend walking around looking at nature and enjoying the ocean. But, I was young and determined to have a good time. I convinced them that we should go on a boat ride and my parents agreed, even though the weather was precarious at the time. So, we went. The captain agreed that this was a possibly dangerous venture, because the weather did not permit such a journey at that time. But we did it anyway. About thirty minutes into the trip, the boat started shaking and rocking and I became very, very frightened. At that moment, however, the captain himself decided that we must go back to the shore – and so we did. When we got off the boat my father took me in his arms and asked me why I was scared. I told him that I thought we were going to die. He taught me a lesson which I’d like to share with you. This is what he said: “There is Someone above the earth, and above the world at times that we don’t always see, that cares for us. This is the Creator and no matter what, He will always be the Captain of the boat. It’s a journey, and life itself is a venture. Don’t worry and don’t be scared. Know that the Captain of the boat is always watching, even when there are stormy waters that you must overcome. You, basically, have to do what you’re supposed to do and let the Captain in charge do what He’s supposed to do. When the right time comes, you will understand.” I have lived with that lesson for many years and I wanted to share it with you just in case you may need it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 341 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond One of the most precious gifts that we were given in this world is a family. A family’s is a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with children and people that care for one another. That’s the definition of a family. One of the most challenging areas of leadership is your family. Leadership of a family demands even the higher standards of honesty, and integrity, and anything else than anything that you could have done. Why is that? Because if you are the head of the family, it is not the same as if you are the head of an office. In an office, you can replace a disgruntled employee and you can start all over. You might even get a new job if you wanted to, if it comes to that. You can even move to a different location. But family? That you can never get rid of them. They cannot be shuffled like a deck of cards. Family is something that always stays with you. No matter where, no matter what, no matter when, the family members that you have will always be connected to you. Sometimes we have issues with a family member and we just think that we are right. But regardless of what happened, regardless of what’s going on, we believe that we should move on our way and because of an issue, we have the right to make that decision. Let me just tell you something about family that I believe is true, family is precious. It should be the most treasured present that you have in life. At no point in time, any time in your life, at any given moment, for any reason whatsoever, should you ever turn against your family. No matter what, no matter what they say, no matter how they treat you. No matter even the way they act towards you. It’s irrelevant. You’re connected to them for eternity. Not just life. Because even after they go, they will still be your family. So, if you’re having an issue with a sibling, parent, or someone in your family, why not make up? Why not go and spend some time with them and let them know how much you truly care? The issue that happened, whatever it may have been, just forget about it. Write it off. Let it be part of your family, that things at time should be challenging. You are able to overcome them because you are greater than that and you deserve to have a good family. You deserve to be close to your family. Family are the members of society that will be there with you through thick and thin no matter what and irrespective of the person that you are. That’s a family, and you should pay attention to that. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 131 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Are you finding yourself in a situation where things seem to be impossible to resolve? Are you finding yourself sometimes where you are sad, or life is difficult and you are not sure what to do? When this happens, think of the clouds… When a plane tries to take off it has to go against the wind. With very powerful propellers it takes off and it works its way up all the way to the sky. Once it gains altitude, if you are on that plane, you can look out that window and see a beautiful sky. The rain, the clouds, the darkness – everything is gone. All you see is a beautiful light. Why shouldn’t you do that when trouble or obstacles are in your way? Why not lift yourself above the clouds? You can overcome them. These challenges are given to you because you are able to overcome them. The Creator of the world would never give you a test, or put you in a situation, that you could not overcome. That is a guarantee. Above the clouds there is no darkness, and you can be there any time you wish. Now just like the propellers are powerful enough to help the plane get above it – your soul is so much stronger than these propellers or any machine that is man-made and has been created since the creation of the world. If you wish, you will lift yourself up beyond trouble; above and beyond any worries. When you are above the clouds you will realize that the clouds are just a visible collection of particles of water. Ice, suspended in the air. Nothing more than a small elevation above the surface of the earth. It’s just a mass. It could be something that is just there; and whatever the reason, you can overcome it. So, I suggest you stay above the clouds – all the time. Because you deserve it; and it’s a much better place to be than below the clouds. If you are currently experiencing such troubles, then raise yourself above the clouds. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

One of the most important decisions that you must make, every single moment of your life, is to be your true self. You must be alert. A minute is too precious to waste. Your time must be properly utilized. Always be alert of who and what you do: do it with respect.
Honor every person, even though they may not be close to you. Do it with a peace of mind. Be calm and composed, let it show in everything that you do.
Always be clean and proper; respect your body and your clothing and do it with orderliness. Make your willpower the master of your time: plan, organize, follow through, and get things done.
Your true self means the full potential that the Creator has given you. Being your true self means using every fiber of yourself to do the most that you can – and do it with all the power that you were given. That’s what it means.
You can do it, every one of us can do it. This is why we were created. Always do the right thing. Plain and simple! Do it! This is what you were created for. Keep on doing it because doing it right and you deserve it!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 129 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Every day when you wake up you must make decisions as to the kind of day you want to have. One should be diligent in what they do and should pay attention to this every day. Diligence is to decide what needs to be done, and do it enthusiastically. Respect every person, whether they are friends, or foe – they’re still human beings. You should also do this with gentleness. Wise men say things in a soft way and develop the habit – surely, within a period of time you will find yourself being listened to. You should have also humility. Of course, you’re not perfect and you need to recognize your own weakness, but you also need to ignore the faults of others. Two more things you need to remember about the decisions on every day: First, is truth. Do not say anything unless you know in your heart that it is true. Second, is silence. Choose your words carefully. Don’t talk unless you have something worthwhile to say. If it’s good and it will change the world for the better, then by all means say it. If not, why not keep it to yourself? Think about it and ask yourself, “Is it worth having this negativity in my life?” These are the decisions that you have to make every day. By making these decisions every morning, before you start your day, you are guaranteed a good day, a healthy day, a sweet day, and a productive day. That’s what I wish for you. Not just today – every day. May you be blessed with the goodness of the world, and the greatness that the Creator has given us may be true today and every day. For you, and for all of us.

Have you ever thought of the word ‘inclusivity’?
Inclusivity means encompassing— bringing everything and everybody into account. It’s comprehensive, it’s enclosing, embracing, and it’s all the things that we have to do to make this world a better place to be.
We have the opportunity to change that at any time, in your world – and in mine. Inclusivity means that you can accept everyone the way they are and accept them for what they are.
It’s a value of time; the dignity of the simplicity; sometimes the influence of an example; the virtue of the patience that we have, or that we may have to get.
The success to persevere; the worth of a character; the obligation of a duty; the implementation of talent; the pleasure of working and making the best of what we do.
The power of kindness and the ability to share it with others.
The wisdom and definition of ‘originality’. Whoever they are out there, include them all in your life. Everything should be taken, not for granted, but for greatness and then you help to make it happen. Help everyone and everything around you be better than when you found them.
That is the world of inclusivity: nothing and no-one gets left by the wayside. Not for any reason. You can do it, and we can all do it.

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 not good. I wish for you to be proud of your actions, and share your good thoughts and deeds and your good speech with everyone. Go out and do it. I can do it and so can you. We can change this world for the better and we all deserve all of it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 for the better? Make this place the happy place that you deserve.

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 top of a sacred mountain. He’s not a politician, he’s just a wise man. Why don’t we just consult him and maybe he’ll find a cure for your majesty?”
So, the wise man was brought to the emperor who was examined by him. The wise man said to the emperor, “Put on the shirt of a really happy man for at least half an hour. And your joy and your former happiness and healthy attitude will then come back to you.”
Well, the emperor heard this and of course he said, “Well, that is very easy. I can find that person right away!”
But the wise man warned him and said, “This has to be a genuinely happy person. So, why not disguise yourself and go throughout the town, and search?”
The emperor thought, “Fine, I’ll do that.”
The emperor went amongst the wealthiest people in his town; but many of them were unhappy. They wanted more. He couldn’t find one truly happy person – they were all looking for more and more possessions, and none of them could relax.
Then the emperor thought, “Let me go to the middle class. Those people don’t have the curses of the millions; so, they must be happy.”
But he was disappointed, and he found out that the middle class wanted to be like the upper class. And therefore, all of their unhappy days were being clouded.
Then he thought, “Maybe the poor… But the poor are so poor, they don’t have much…”
On the last evening of the search, as he was going back home, he passed by a shack- a little hovel of a home in a suburb of the kingdom.
This is what he heard outside the window: “I am so happy today! Oh, thank G-d – I thank you for making me such a happy man!”
When the emperor heard this, he was more than elated. He stormed into the shack and immediately saw a man sitting on the floor, finishing his meager meal. The emperor looked about and he asked him, “Why is there no lamp in this house, or no furniture?”
The man said, “I’m a poor person.”
“Okay… Then, at least give me your shirt…” This is what the emperor requested of him, “and I’ll make you the richest person in the kingdom!”
The poor man answered, “I would gladly do it, but I am so poor that I don’t have a shirt.”
Now the emperor realized the wise man’s counsel.
You cannot search for happiness anywhere. It comes from inside, not outside. Who you are, what you do, who you meet, and the way you do things that you do with a proper attitude. This brings happiness - genuine happiness.
It cannot be bought; it cannot be borrowed; it cannot be invented. It must be lived repeatedly. I wish that for you, every day.

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.
Why not do it and make this world the best place to live. This is your world after all and you deserve to be happy.

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 the universe; and will bring the original light back.
The world is not that complicated; people make it complicated. Let’s all work together to awaken within each other goodness, kindness, and greatness.
This amazing original light, which deserves to be free. You deserve it. The world deserves it and we all should create this harmony. Harmony to the universe through peace and love. We can do it, and we deserve it.
So, let’s do it now.

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 universal connection of all people and humanity and you can do it – because you deserve it.

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 a true embrace. It is a love without limits regardless of the recipient’s reaction. Even if the other should turn his back and desire to sever all relations, the love will remain unaffected, as strong as before.
This is the love that you should have for everyone. The way we should look at people, and the way we should interact with them. Unadulterated, genuine, and unconditional.
Once you find that love in yourself, you can share it with others… and at that moment, it’s not limited — not to speech, not to a look, not to a kiss. It’s a full embrace. It involves the whole body. I wish this kind of love for you – from now and forever.

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 matter of fact, they are so critically important that without them we wouldn't be able to function or grow. A life of productivity means a life of growth, where everything blossoms and continuously becomes better. You take all the experiences that you have accumulated and the things that you've done and make it better, stronger, and you spread it and share it with everyone around you. That's what life is all about. This is the lifestyle that each and every person can create for themselves, and that is what the night is for, to regenerate this energy that you need and give you the strength to move forward. At times, when you have difficulties or challenges, don't worry because tonight when you go to sleep, you will wake up a brand-new person and you will be totally refreshed. Physically it means you would have rested, however spiritually, you will be a brand-new person. That's what life is all about. If you remember that, you'll go to sleep happy and you'll wake up absolutely elated. Knowing where you are and what you do, and what your mission is all about, makes all the difference in the world. Use the nights wisely and use your time wisely, and use the energy that you received last night to wake up new every day. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 desperate. Know that these moments of adversity that you have been given the strength to overcome, succeed, and achieve whatever you set your mind to do.
Use this information and these opportunities to achieve the highest level of goodness, because that is your mission in life – and you can do it!

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 – becoming is for a lifetime. I wish for you to become the person that you wish for yourself. I wish for you to be all that you can be, because you deserve it!

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!

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 can do it with success and pleasure.
You can accomplish this mission and finish it, then return when you’re finished, and claim your victory.
Don’t delay your mission, or the purpose of your mission. Accomplish it with joy and strength and all your abilities. In the meantime, be sure to stay focused and do it because that is the reason you were sent here!

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 where you need to be.
Connect with your soul and always know who you are – and enjoy the ride. Life is worth it, and you deserve to be happy. You deserve to grow and you deserve to share with others what you know, what you’ve got, and everything else about you.
That is the reason why you were created – to be connected at all times. Never, under any circumstances, let anything keep you away from your connection. Never!

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.

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 it in a way where goodness,
G-dliness, divine presence, and beauty resides. It's the one that we have where our personalized lives and study of the world, prayers that we have, including, and not limited to, everything that we do to help other people.
This is what life is all about, making this world a better place than you found it when we first arrived. When we're young we don't quite realize that because we're too young. As we get older, however, and more mature, it is important to know that our role in this world is critical. It's pivotal to the changes of the world that was ordained by the Creator. You may say, and I'm sure you've heard me say this before, that you're not a believer. That's fine. It's not about belief; it's about reasonableness of how you manage your life to the highest productive way with all the potential that you were given, and using all of the skills that you have. After all, these talents, these gifts were given to you, so why not use them properly?

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 someone, you have to bless them with all your heart, with all your might, with all your love. What they take from that blessing is up to them. Just like the field, unless it is sown or plowed, the rain can't help. What can it do by itself? It will not help in any way, shape, or form. When you speak to people or friends, or family members, your acquaintances, or colleagues and you want to give them a blessing, let them know. First, the blessing comes from your heart. Second, that you really mean it. Third, make sure that they know that in order for this a blessing to take effect and become part of them and help them, they “have to want it,” they have to wish it, they have to accept it. The exception is when you visit a person who's not well. Obviously, that person wants to get better. That visit alone takes away a little bit of their condition and makes it better, just by you being there. It's a good thing to visit people who are not well. This is what life is all about, sharing goodness among one another continuously. Now, take those things, take those ideas and put them into effect, and share them with other people. If you think that what you've heard is true, appropriate, necessary, or right, why not share it with other people whenever you have the time? That will be the right thing to do, and that will be a blessing. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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 they now think that the ellipticals have as many as 1 trillion to 10 trillion stars.
If you crunch the numbers, and I know this may be somewhat complicated, you get about 300 sextillion stars. Our scientists have discovered that, and one of those scientists discovered an interesting coincidence. He says he looked up how many cells there are in the average human body and there are about 50 trillion or so cells. He multiplied that by the six billion people on Earth and guess what the answer was? 300 sextillion. The number of stars in the universe equals the number of cells in all of the people on earth.
Scientists call that a “coincidence”. What a “coincidence” indeed.
Man is called a microcosm, a mini universe. This is true of everyone and every individual, humanity as a whole. Just as our physical DNA replicates itself into a complete human being, each of our 50 trillion or 300 sextillion cells have a specific function.
So, what's the bottom line? Though the universe is more complicated than we think, as one scientist put it, both we as individuals, because G-d created us that way, and each good deed that we do, that we put forth for us, has a cosmic effect and significance.
It's all in the stars. Think about that.

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. Give – and hardly ever should you take. That is the ultimate life; ultimate level – to lead a beautiful, unadulterated, genuine life. And I wish that for you every day! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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.

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.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 107 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
It's interesting to know that there are some people who say that we live in such a big, wide world. The truth is, the world is not that big. Even though there are billions of people on this Earth, we are all so similar and so close to one another.
It's hard to believe that this world is such a small portion of the total entity that makes up the universe. We're just one world.
Within the world, irrespective of who we are, kindness is the true component to show what we're here for. See, true kindness does not know ethnicity, religion, or gender, or anything. True kindness is blind. It's unconditional.
Let me give you an example: When one hears an uncomplimentary report about another person, even if he does not know the individual personally, he should be very deeply pained about this. You see, because one of the two options are certainly true, and the person is certainly in the wrong. If what you're saying about the individual is true, then that person is defective. If it's not true, then the person who's telling you about this other person, the talebearer, is an unhealthy situation. Either way, that is not good.
We are one people, one nation, and we are like the single person: undividable. We are, each and every one of us, a very important component of this world. We matter, each and every one of us does. There is no way that anyone should, can, or even is allowed to tell you that you are not allowed to be here. It's not true.
In essence, criticism or praise about others, is a mirror of our own personal strengths and shortcomings. Pay close attention to what you say. Whatever is spoken about another person, it befalls the speaker. One who speaks kindly about another, praising their merits and their good deeds deserves the same reward and the individual actually performs it and the good deeds that they do, should all be praised.
Say good things about others and be kind to one another. This is the world that we live in, so let's enjoy it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 106 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure you’ve already heard the sentence or the phrase, “If anybody can do it, so can you!”
Although there’s truth in that, you are not just “anybody”.
You are somebody. You have to know and believe that the Creator of the world has spent tremendous amount of time, energy, and wisdom to create you. You are unique, special, and beautiful just the way you are.
At the same time there are so many of us in this beautiful world - billions of people. Anybody and everybody can tell you that they are also somebody. You are somebody, and everybody is somebody, and we are, altogether, a body. That’s what we are and that’s who we are in this world: people working with people. And, we matter.
What’s important to remember is that everything we do affects every other person in the world. Depending on if it is positive or negative, these are effects that you will live - or you will suffer through. I suggest that you use it for the betterment of the world.
Do good things - it’s not difficult. It may be challenging at times, but it’s never difficult – it’s always possible, and it’s possible for you!
Make it happen and make this world a better place than it was before you came. Then you won’t be “Anybody” anymore – you will be “Somebody”.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 105 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are moments in our lives when we need to be alone. There are times when difficulties and challenges arise above and beyond our capacity to understand.
One thing we know for sure is that by being alone we can often see things in a different manner and better understand. A walk on the beach, or through a forest, or just being alone sitting in a room with the lights off may give us the opportunity to think things through. Because when we do that, we find that those moments are passing by. They may seem challenging at times and they may really feel as though we will never be able to overcome them - but that is impossible.
The Creator has given each and every one of us the ability to overcome any challenge at any moment. Here’s another secret that you need to know: Often, the ability to overcome a challenge comes to us before the challenge even occurs! With this in mind, although it is good to be alone at times, you should use it wisely to grow and let your experiences take you to a higher level.
You deserve to be happy, and the world was created for you to be happy. All that is missing at this point, is your will. So, make it happen! Since we all deserve it, why not do it now? And do it well!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 104 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
My grandmother, bless her soul, said something so beautiful that I never forgot, "Do good and forget you did."
It's an interesting concept. Usually, when someone does good, they expect something in return. "I do good but I would like you to do something for me in return," or "I do good for you, and I wish for you to thank me or at least help me out," or there's also, "I'll do good for you, but at least I want to be recognized for the good that I've done."
But, my grandmother said something totally different. "Do good," she said, "and forget that you did." Don't consider something that needs to be noticed, acknowledged, or even exchanged for something else. You did good, good for you. Don't ask, don't request, don't hope, don't even think about what you did; let it go, forget that you did it. Let this be recorded in the heavens and no one has to know about it, and there's no reason for anyone to know about it. If you did anything good, you did it out of the goodness of your heart, so there's no reason for anyone to acknowledge or anything to be given to you in exchange of that good.
It's such a profound saying and such a beautiful way of looking at life, and this is how she put it and how she continuously lived her life. Doing good and forgetting about it means the opportunity to do for no other reason than for the sake of doing what you were created for. It is the ultimate way to live life; doing without expecting anything or anyone to thank you for it, or anything in exchange for what you've done.
So, next time you do something, do it and forget you did, just let it be. Let it be and let the other people enjoy what you've done, and don't ask, don't question, don't investigate, don't even think about it; just forget it and let that good deed be written somewhere in Heaven.
Now you may say, "How will I know if it is written heaven?" I personally promise you that it is. We just don't see it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 103 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond ‘Everything affects everything else,’ How often have you heard this? Many times, we feel that by doing some things that are hidden or tucked away somewhere in our private lives that it’s just between us and it will not affect anyone or anything else. This is incorrect. Everything affects everything else! The dignity of a person is based on their action. You have the ability, if you want, to do “good” things and share with the world all the disciplines that you have learned. No matter how much you know, you can create a chain reaction from one good deed to another. Sometimes we get discouraged. There are obstacles, challenges, and difficulties. Sometimes we see the nature of failure and we take what we endure as a message. But you shouldn’t, because failure helps prepare you to succeed. For it is in the descent that you will see the ascent. It is in the face of adversity that you will succeed. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward – and the greater the success. Don’t let this chain reaction be stopped because of what happened. To the contrary. Use it to your advantage. Use it and propel yourself from the depth of failure to the height of success.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 102 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A person, it says, should not wander. How is it possible for one to do whatever he wants, and be responsible for his own deeds? Isn’t the whole world under the guidance of one Creator? Is it possible for anything to happen in this world without the permission and the desire of the Creator of the world? We must assume and believe that whatever the Creator wishes, He has done in the heavens and the earth. One must not think that everything is done according or against His personal will. Human beings are responsible for their own deeds. So, how is this apparent contradiction resolved? The Creator desired the elements of fire and wind to rise upwards as well as those of water and earth to descend downwards. The heavenly spheres result in circular orbit and all other creations of the world followed nature, which the Creator desired for them. So too, the Creator desired that men have free choice and be responsible for his deeds without being pulled or forced. Rather, on his own initiative with the knowledge that the Creator created each person, that person will do anything that he’s able to do. Man is judged according to his own deeds. If he does good, he is treated with beneficence. If he does bad, he is treated harshly. This is the doing of your own hands: the fact that you have chosen your own path. You must know that you have the ability to choose which path to go at any given time. You can choose life - or the opposite. You could choose goodness - or the opposite. Why not choose the best way to live? Live through goodness, joy, giving, and loving. You deserve to be happy, and you can do it! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 101 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Honor is such a beautiful word; honesty, fairness; integrity in one’s belief and actions. It is the source of credit or distinction. It is not the place that honors the man but the man who honors the place.
In other words, we are not defined by our circumstances – it is what we do with our circumstances that defines us. Success is at the service of others not at the expense of others. What we do with our thought, speech, or action is what determines the person we are. Integrity, fairness, honesty are the attributes that each and every one of us need to have, follow, and nurture. These attributes make you the person that you are and that you can become. By others helping see themselves greater than they are – not at their expense but at yours – we help them achieve heights which they may not ever have thought they could reach.
This is true success and you will honor not only the place but the world around you and everything within. It is a blessing, it is your opportunity, it is something that you need to strive for. It is well worth it, because you deserve to be happy. You were given the opportunity to change the world, so why not do it? You can do it!

Where can you find true love?
Where is this person that has been destined to spend the time and life together?
When would I know?
Where would I look?
What should I do?
You see, it is said that in general this is a complicated thing which only the Creator, through His individual providence, can accomplish. It is clear that in most cases the right true love is not the one which comes with the first meeting. It even often happens that person has to go out and search for this true love as one goes about searching for something he has lost.
When one has lost something, and looks for it, and doesn’t find it right away, he or she will not give up but will continue to search. The same is true for love, or true love. When the first meeting does not materialize, it should not be the basis for discouragement, and certainly not for any misinterpretation that one has destroyed the chances and the like.
To the contrary, you must keep on searching. That true love is there, waiting for you. Waiting to be found. But you have to want it, you have to desire it, and it has to be an eager desire to reach it. And I wish that for you.
I wish for you to find your true love, and live a life of joy and happiness, and fulfillment, in everything that you do. Be with that person for the rest of your life and truly make it a memorable life together. I wish that for you.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 99 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Technology is truly amazing, above and beyond all we could ever expect. Scientists have learned that to unleash the power of the atom, size is not always an indication of power. Once we learn how to access the latent energy that exists, even the smallest particle of matter can release incredible force.
The basic process used to release atomic power is called nuclear fission, this is where the atom is broken down into smaller components. There is a lesson in this for us.
If you feel alone and you feel apart from the world, then this teaches you that the key to be part of the world is to release the latent infinite potential that is within you. This is done by breaking your ego, thereby allowing your inner and divine essence to shine through. This energy itself can be released by yourself any time you wish. By having only limited time and energy, and the energy to devote to divine endeavors – things that need to be above, greater, and beyond you - you can change the world.
Within each and every one of us lies the power to change the entire world for the good. So why not start? Why not make this day the first day of your new life?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 98 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever spent time looking at a tree? A tree is typically made up of a trunk and branches that develop from the ground and grow all the way through, and at the end of these branches are leaves. Often the tree grows to a considerable height. The tree itself is interesting. What is the difference between one tree and others? There are fruit bearing trees and there are non-fruit bearing trees. The barren tree without fruit merely impress us with their stately presence. They may perhaps offer us shade, but they sacrifice nothing in so doing. On the other hand, fruit bearing trees provide us with nourishment and delight at their own expense. Truly refined emotions are achieved by shedding childlike self-absorption and by contributing to the world. When you seek instruction and inspiration, you should turn to people who are not only intelligent and talented, but who consistently utilize their gift for the world’s greater good. You should truly be an example of the fruit bearing trees. Those that give without asking anything in return. This is well worth doing it, because this makes our world a much better place for all of us to live. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 97 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Fortunate means having good fortune. It is receiving good from an uncertain or unexpected source. It’s auspicious and often indicating a good thing. In life, we don’t always know the power of our actions or choices and where the ripple effect will end. Often, we may never discover the full impact of our actions and only sometimes are we lucky or fortunate enough to see behind the curtain, how the strings of life are being pulled and directed. If you are fortunate enough to see that – good for you. But if you’re not, why not start today with a smile and joy? Make sure that you accept the differences the people you meet. Always be kind. Give gifts to others. Smile often. Touch people with your heart. Laugh together for no reason, other than the fact that you want to help. Encourage others to see themselves greater than they are. Help them with their needs, and you’ll get everything you want. Show them respect and forgive them if they have done something improper. But most of all, tell them how much you care. That’s what fortunate means. To know who you are and spread the word of goodness with everyone else that you meet. Fortunate is the one that recognizes this. For you, I wish this fortunate happening to be part of your life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Simplicity is the state, the quality, or even the instance of being simple. It is the freedom from complexity or intricacy. It’s often absence of luxury, pretentiousness, or even ordinance.
Simplicity is a life of its own. It’s a life that you can live and one that you should always pursue. No evil descends from above, everything is good. Though evil is not always apprehended, this is due only to the immensity of abundance in greatness and goodness that we can’t always see things for what they are.
Men, however, should always be happy and joyous at all times and truly live by faith in the Creator. Simplicity of enjoying every day, and making that day more special than the day before, knowing that this day is unique, new, and this day is yours.
It’s your day. You could choose what you want by keeping it simple. You can live a happy life. Why complicate it? Why take on more than necessary? Enjoy the day, because you deserve it!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 95 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever heard of the term daydreaming? The dictionary describes it as, “indulging in a reverie.” Something where a person loses himself out in the atmosphere. What you are is not there, you're really not sure what's going on but you're in a different world.
You could be sitting in the classroom listening to a teacher, or on a bus, along a ride, listening to someone speaking next to you. You could also be in front of another person having a normal conversation, and somehow, somewhere, your mind drifts away. It just completely leaves you. You go into this imaginary dream, into something which is out of you, an experience which is not even understandable.
What’s happening is that you're in that moment. You’re imagining all the people that are there, you're daydreaming about all the concepts, all the vivid colors and music. They look real.
As a matter of fact, they are there because you created them. At any moment, when you come back to yourself, the daydreaming goes away, and it all disappears.
Now, what's interesting about daydreaming is that at the time, you have the ability to create whatever dream or reverie that you wish. The dangerous part is that some people daydream when they're supposed to be focused. Daydreaming is good because it gives you the ability to leave your environment that perhaps at times doesn't feel too comfortable, and let you be in another place, in a different manner, of your choice. The negative, or the obstacle, or the privilege that you may have at times, is not always there to help you because if you don't pay attention, daydreaming could become addictive and could become dangerous. If, G-d forbid, you were to daydream when you are driving, it could be fatal.
Daydreaming is important, but it has to be limited. The beauty, however, is that this is all your imagination, and anytime you wish to stop it, all you have to do is say so.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 93 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever wondered why the Creator of the world gave us one mouth, one nose, one face, but two eyes? Reasons for two eyes have been suggested, that one eye is to look at yourself and see who you are and what you do, and whether what you are preaching is actually what you do. The second eye is to look at others and compare yourself. Compare it to what they do which is so much better than you. That it gives you an opportunity to rise above yourself and do things even better.
At no point in time is the comparison so that you show who you are compared to them, higher or greater. No, to the contrary, to the best of your abilities you have to use your one eye to look at yourself and see what else can be done to improve in your life. By improving your own self, your abilities, your skills, your thoughts, your word, your deeds, everything about you, you actually help not only yourself but the world around you. People will see that. They will learn from you. You'll become a living example, and that in itself is a blessing. What's even more, is that as you become better in working on yourself.
One of the most important aspect of life is self-development; always trying to figure out a way to become better than you were the day before. We don't learn how to earn. You learn how to live, and that's what creating a lifestyle is all about. The greatest challenge in life is to be happy with what you have in pursuit of what you want, and it's well worth it. People have been given all kinds of things in life, all kinds of abilities but it's not the amount that counts; it's the style. It's the style of who you are and what you do. The difference that will make all the differences in the world.
Use this one eye to look at yourself and in a critical manner, by yourself, for yourself, you should be strict about yourself. With the other eye, however, look at others. With others you should be lenient, you should be open, you should be kind, you should be forgiving, you should be accepting, you should be helping.
That is the reason for those two eyes and to be able to understand what's going on. Now you may say, well, what about the two ears? Well, the two ears are there for you to listen to all the pretty songs that make harmony in this world, the most beautiful sounds, and for you to use them to become a better person. That's what it's all about. I wish you the best in everything you do.

It is important to pay attention to the days of your life. Count the days, find out whether or not the days are filled with goodness. Your smile is a signature of the Creator on your face. Don't allow it to be washed, and certainly not by empty tears or erased by anger. You have to fill your day with goodness and kindness.
What is the difference between kindness and compassion? Kindness gives to another. Compassion worries about no other, it just worries about itself. You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward. It's important that you count your days, but equally important is to make your days count. Why not show respect to everyone, even people who don't deserve it? It's not a reflection of their character or things that you find but it's a reflection of you, who you are, what you do, what you've got, and the person that you need to be at all times. See, the miracle is life but life itself is not an end.
The miracle is not the finished life. The miracle is having the courage to start a good day each and every day, and your day counts. By ourselves, we are not each angels with one wing; we can only fly by increasing other angels, other people, and even the smallest compliment to another person has the potential at any given time to make that person better and help them see themselves greater than they are.
Each day, you should appreciate what you have before it becomes what you've had. Help others get ahead; you will always stand tall with someone else on your shoulders. Now, think about that: what if you woke up one day with only one thing for which you thanked G-d that was yesterday? Don't do that. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning how to dance in the rain. If you do things the way you've always done them and don't become better and change them, you will always be where you've always been, and that's not good.
You want to grow, you want to flourish. Blossom like a pretty flower that opens up that's been waiting all winter for the spring to come and shine its beautiful flowers by the rays of the sun. You can do that. Your job is not to take care of yourself, but to take care of the world; and when you give to others, everything will be given to you. Help others, help them!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 90 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I once wanted to figure out things in my life, so I took a walk on a beach. By walking I had the ability to expand my mind. It’s interesting, at that moment in my life things were challenging, to say the least. I knew that I didn’t wish for things to become easier, but that I would become better. I didn’t wish for fewer problems; I just wanted more skills. So, I started making personal changes. Changes that would make a difference in my life.
In general, there is an unbelievable amount of time spent on spiritual, physical, and even personal development. But there’s also something else that you need to do, you need to have mental development. The ability, strength, power, and imagination to become better. To do things that are above and beyond what you’ve been expected to do up until now. It’s not always easy, but once you’ve reached that level you’ll realize it wasn’t difficult after all.
That is what it takes; development of the mind. A mental ability to overcome challenges. Not because that’s what it is, but because you can do it. If I was able to do it, you can do it too.

Sometimes in life it happens that a person cries. Those tears that fall down, the salty drops of water coming down your cheeks, are the results of either unhappiness, grief, or even sorrow. But let me ask you this:
Why is that?
Why is it that you cry?
A person cries because they don’t always get what they want. Although the answer is there, they sometimes wish it to be different.
So, let me give you another interpretation; don’t wish for things to be easier – wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems – wish for more skills. Start making these changes inside of you, and everything will change around you. Those tears of sadness will turn into tears of happiness and of joy.
Joy is the emotion of great delight. It’s the happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying, and elation. Something of great value that you can appreciate. That’s what joy is, and you can turn these tears. As a matter of fact, you can even stop them and I’ll tell you how.
Don’t cry. Be whom you wish to be, and you’ll always be happy.

Let’s discuss the word “Attraction”.
Attraction is a characteristic or quality that provides pleasure. Attraction is an act, it’s a power, or even a property. The quality is magnetic; it’s a charm, a fascination, an allurement, or an enticement.
All you have in your life, you have attracted for one reason: by the person that you are. This happens because you’ve attracted everything and everyone around you by the person that you are. Be that person that you wish to be - don’t let anyone else change that.
Let it be your secret; let it be your strength but let it be yours. Everything that we have around us is something that we desire, and something that we wish for. This is your life. Make it happen.

Something fascinating about the body that even scientists don't know how to interpret it is that the body of an organism begins with one cell and reaches up to 100 trillion cells.
How does it know how to build a body to 100 trillion cells? There are thousands and thousands of cells, and each cell is very complex. Not only that, in each cell, there is a manufactured manual. With this manual, it builds itself and operates in every single part of the cell. This is what it's called, the DNA. In every single cell there is a DNA which is the chemical blueprint and contains all the instructions on how to build and operate every single cell, and every single aspect of life, and this is based on that component in that nucleus. It's fascinating.
What's more amazing is that each cell has the entire DNA of the body and each cell is reproduced and continuously copies over that blueprint. This blueprint that we talk about, the manual, and it makes another cell, and each of the trillion and trillions of cells contain all the manuals for each and every one of the cells.
Here's what even more amazing: it's even programmed to correct replication errors, like an editor, someone reviewing the newspaper for any mistakes, like maybe a special protein or enzymes that have gone down. It knows, section by section and has the code, like the editor of the enzyme to repair it.
How is it that when the body is creating each cell, and each cell must be different because each cell is a different part of the body, it has different functions, and that is the reason why we have trillions and trillions of cells.
For instance, the nose has specific cells. The liver cannot take the code of the nose, otherwise, things wouldn't work and it needs exactly that cell. Basically, the DNA tells the amino acids how to create proteins and build cells. Now here's what more mind-boggling: if you were to take all the DNA's from all the creation of the world today, it would all fit into a teaspoon. That is how microscopic all this information is. So, what we discovered with the DNA is that it's a sequence of letters, of the messages that contain and forms the body.
What an amazing universe.

There is a study that scientists conducted which was quite interesting. What they wanted to do was put fleas into a glass jar and see what they would do. Well, of course, as soon the fleas were put it into the glass jar, they would fly away. Then what they did was put a glass lid that you could see through, on top of the jar, and they closed the jar. So, the fleas kept on trying to escape and every time they tried, they would hit the glass and they would come back down and hit the glass, and come back down, and hit the glass again.
After a while, the fleas understood what they were doing and they kept flying to the top but they stopped slightly below and did not hit the lid. Then what the scientists did was remove the lid so that the fleas could now be free, and guess what happened? The fleas would fly all the way to the top but not escape.
You see, the fleas learned to limit themselves and stopped thinking that they were free, and they were actually trapped. They became imprisoned to their own limited belief, and then would not come out and just died.
Isn't that what we do sometimes to ourselves? We try to escape, we try to enhance, we try to broaden ourselves, or make things better, and we find an obstacle and another obstacle, and yet another obstacle, until then we think that now we are limited and therefore, do less than we can or than we should, and this is how we react, and what eventually happens, we now live in desperate life. We limit ourselves and we become imprisoned to our own thoughts. We don't believe we could do more even when the lid is removed and we're given complete freedom. We don't use that freedom. We stay below and we learn to live that way, and in a constricted, limited way for no other reason than the way we've created for our own life.
Why not remove the lid but not only physical lids that we live by or physical limitation, but also the lid in our minds, our hearts and our emotions? To know that we are free, free to be who we want to be, and free to be whatever we need to be. We were designed with limitless bounds and unlimited potential goodness. Use that and know that you got it all within yourself to do what you want to do at any given time. Use this knowledge and grow, and live happy wherever you go, at any given time.

Do you want to know how to grow?
Let me share with you some advice. Successful growth is attained with one little change at a time. Do you know a small change that you can start with today? Yourself. Because if you change yourself, everything around you will change.
One step at a time, with your own discovery; one step to take you to the next level.

One step of desire to build. Not to destroy – to make things greater; stronger; better; higher. To have the tallest desires - and achieve them all. This is what you can do.
Turn your frustration into fascination. Make it happen because you deserve it, and you can certainly do it, because you would not have been put in this world had you not been able to do it. That is your mission, “To grow and never stop.”

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 82 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you know what ambition means? The definition of ambition is the eager desire for distinction, fame, or power. True positive ambition, a legitimate one, is the one that you use for doing things because it’s right. It’s something that you want at the service of others, not at the expense of others. If you think about that for a moment, a powerful ambition can turn any type of hopeful wish into true reality. It’s learning how to give, without asking anything back. It’s learning how to share, while not wanting anything in return. It is interesting how positive ambition can change your life and can change the life of all those around you. It takes an eager desire to wish, grow, want to be, and to want to have. This desire will put you in a different world; this ambition will get you on a different level. Positive ambition is what will lead you to success every day of your life. The lifestyle that you’ve always hoped and dreamed for. Iou can do it. You certainly deserve it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 81 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It has been said that when a person, whom you do not know, does something that could be judged positively or negatively –you should always judge them positively. What kind of a world would it be if all of us saw each other with a beautiful, kind, and warm-hearted eyes? How would it be if all your actions were judged favorably? What if every time you did an act of kindness or goodness, everyone would see it and benefit from it? How would you feel if everyone thought about you this way? Even though at times, we are not quite sure if what we are doing is a good deed, we know that deep in our heart we meant well. This is what a good life is, an exceptional way of living the higher life – by judging everyone positively and by giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. Letting them know if possible, that life can always be improved. This is a good life and it is worth living if you put your best effort. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

If you want to succeed in life you must acquire a mentor. Someone that you can share your ideas with. Someone that you can share your dreams and your vision with. All of the things that you want to do. By discussing it with another person, you’ll be given more power, strength, understanding, and more greatness. The mentor will bring you goodness and greatness if you wish to get it.
That mentor will also open up doors that you’ve never thought about and bring possibilities and opportunities that you never even dreamt about.
A mentor can show you how great you can be and bring ambition, greatness and all the solutions to your challenges – at any given time - into a light you never expected. That’s what a mentor does.
You need to get one, because it is the vision of your success and the result of all the hard work that you’ve put together.
To be the best that you can be.

You should always be available to help others. If someone less fortunate than you asks you for advice, food, money, or just help then you should help them without blame or shame. You should do this with a pleasant countenance, and allow them the privilege to feel good - as you would to a member of your own family.
All of this should be done with humility, because life itself has its own challenges and no one should suffer.
What would it be if you could help someone; perhaps lending an ear and listening to their issues or challenges?
What would it be if you could give someone a small amount of money to help them through the month, the day, or the hour?
How wonderful would it be if everyone helped one another?
What kind of world would we have?
And how great would this place be?
Do it, because everyone deserves a chance.

What is the difference between rich and poor?
The wealth that a rich person has, is comprised in two separate portions. One is the portion that belongs to him, and the other one is the portion that belongs to destitute people. Some of it was given to him as a safekeeping and some of it was given to him for “himself”.
The rich person has these two portions in his own wealth, his own and the one that actually belongs to one who is less fortunate. He keeps it and this safekeeping will depend upon what he does with it. Once this rich person shares the second portion with its rightful owner - the person who is less fortunate –by giving this charity, will cause the rich to even prosper even more. In good time, there will be many good things that will come to both of them.
In this way, the rich person is fulfilling a tremendous blessing for the poor person, and the poor person is also fulfilling an unbelievable, unprecedented goodness for this world. Everyone benefits.
There is no difference between poor and rich – they are both created to help one another. Make sure that you share your wealth and your goodness, with everyone you meet. For you never know why it was given to you to begin with.

Let the door of your home always be open. Share with others what you have and what you know. Whatever makes you happy, also give it to others. You have been blessed with good things.

This will change the world and transform our whole universe into a place where life on earth becomes enjoyable. This you should do without any restrictions or without looking at the creed, color, religion or gender.
Share it with everyone. It will make this place a better place and it will make you a better human being.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 76 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Sharing knowledge is one of the most important and critical aspects of our lives. When a body drinks, what it does is helps the food be distributed throughout the parts of the body. When a person grinds his food down with his teeth, the food itself which the person does eat, undergoes a change. The water remains the same as it was originally and does not undergo any transformation. Similarly, a student repeats what he has learned from his teacher or others. He must impart those teachings exactly as he received them, without changing them in any way. Just like water. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Have you ever been told that when a soul departs this world it goes into a higher life? You should know that this is true. The world itself, as it stands today, is in temporary motion. It is just a small experience. Before the world was created all the souls in Heaven were present as well.
From our standpoint when a soul departs this world it actually goes into a “world of eternity”. I am sure that each of us has experienced, at least to a certain extent, the departing of a soul. How often do we miss them and how often do we speak about them?
One thing is for sure, that any time you wish, you can communicate with them.
Departed souls are actually more vibrant and more with us here today than they were when they were here physically. The part that’s missing is just the body. But the warmth, kindness, love, and the bond has been there and will remain here for all eternity.

There is a story told about a man who went to the leader of the city complaining, and he said, "Someone else on the other side of town opened up a new business, exactly the same as mine and it will destroy my business," and he was quite upset.
The man, who actually owned a large part of the city, looked at him and said, "Why would you be worried?"
He responded, "Well, this competition is going to kill my business. What will I be doing?"
The wise man said to him, "This is not what it is. Let me tell you a story. You see, when a horse comes down to eat or drink, he goes to a river or a stream, and in wanting to drink from the river, he looks down by bending its head and before drinking, he actually kicks the water. Do you know why?"
The man answered, "I don't."
He says, "Well, I'll tell you why the horse kicks the water. He kicks it because the horse thinks that the face that it sees in the water, is someone else's, and the horse gets upset and says, 'How could it be taking my space? This other horse doesn't belong here’,” and so he kicks it and the water becomes muggy and all this mud that moves around, even though it becomes totally superfluous, at this moment, the horse believes that now the other horse left and now he can drink."
Now you see, this is the psychology of the horse. But the horse made three mistakes. One is the horse did not have a competition. It was actually itself and its own reflection that it was looking at, so why would it be upset? Second, by kicking the water, the horse made it become very muddy and the mud itself now became sandy; and this is the water that it drank. Third, there's enough water for everyone in the river. Most jealousy is all about this. To be jealous doesn't make anybody successful. It eats you alive.
If someone else opens up a business down the road from you or if you find someone else has a similar idea, or if you are in relationship with someone and you are jealous, think of what I just wrote. There's no need to be jealous. Love the person unconditionally and be sure of who you are and what you've got, otherwise jealousy will eat you alive and will not let you breathe or be happy for no other reason. There's no need for you to suffer.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 73 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
So often during the week we are too busy. Each and every one of us, running here and running there, and taking care of things that we have to do. We forget at times what happens when we stop and think, and what is the purpose of anything that is around us. And here is what I've read from someone who is extremely knowledgeable in the creation of the world and understanding and its the wisdom.
This wise man said: "If you see what needs to be repaired and how to repair it, then you have found a piece of the world that was left for you to complete. But, if you only see what is wrong and what is ugly in the world, then it is you, yourself that needs repair."
Isn't that amazing? What this means is that, when you go about your day and go around doing what you have to do, busy with life, with work, with family, with errands, whatever you do, and you see something which is not good that needs to be repaired, that needs to be fixed, and you realize that you can help it, that you can make it better, then this is the part of the world that the Creator of this whole universe has a request for you, just for you, to be able to fix it, complete it, to make it better.
But if when you see something, you think is actually wrong, and it is ugly and you don't like it, and you feel somewhat of a disgusting feeling within yourself, this has nothing to do with what you see. It has to do with “you”, who you are, and what is inside of you and the person that you truly are. Then the repair is not on what you see, it's actually on yourself. You need to fix yourself. How could you see such a thing and have such a reaction? How could you only see the bad? How could you only think that there is nothing but negativity?
Living that way will help you analyze each and every situation.
So, during the day, you have to ask yourself, is there something that I see that I need to fix myself and help repair it, because I've been given this opportunity? Or is there something in me, that I need to feel differently? Either way the world benefits, you benefit, and the whole universe becomes better, with either reaction. I strongly suggest you follow either way.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 72 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever wondered why no two flakes of snow are alike? Have you ever wondered why no two people anywhere in the world are alike? It’s called diversity. Diversity is sewn into the very fabric of our existence. Diversity gives us the ability to choose our own path. Each and every one of us has the ability at any moment to change directions. Destinations may not be as simple to change, but directions can be changed in an instant. Just like the notes in a symphony, anyone can create a song. In creating a symphony, the beauty is in its diversity, not by singing the same note over and over again… But by each of us expressing our own individual notes. This is indispensable to be part of the song of our life. This gives us the diversity of our world. Make this beautiful planet that we live on, the world that we live by, your own. Make it the best and choose a path that will make you proud of all the actions that you do - each and every day. You can do it because you deserve it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

There are two ways of grasping a concept. One is understanding what it is and the other is understanding what it is not. If a concept is within our sphere of experience, we can actually understand what it is. But, if a concept is outside our sphere of experience we cannot understand what it is. We can understand what it is not. The way it works, is that we mentally remove it from possibility after possibility until, by process of elimination, we get a glimpse of it.
This means that Divine Providence, or the Creator of the world we cannot see, it is something that we cannot understand directly. But we can understand it by negating what we know it is not to be. This is a very important concept to always remember.

Many people believe that kindness is something of a virtue that a person either acquires or has by nature. The truth is, it may be, but kindness is work. Kindness takes a lot of effort. It is something that a person has to do at all times, and thinks about it.
Just as a businessman does not wait at home for others to approach him, he opens up his store in a busy location. He hangs a sign, and he tries his best to convince others of his product. So too a person must actively pursue opportunities to help others, and do kind acts as well as do kindness to others.
Kindness is work. It doesn't come by itself.
I have a suggestion for you. From today onward, why not record in a diary the act of kindness that you've done on that day, or on any day? On the day that you cannot find someone with whom to do a favor, why not, on that day, put a little star and figure out, how could you make it better the next day?
A soul comes from Heaven, sometimes, for many years living on Earth to do one favor to another person. Indeed, the world was created with kindness. Kindness is something that is the basis and the foundation, and the existence of the world.
Why would the Creator create the world? Of what benefit is it to Him? If there is no Creator, what would be the purpose of the world?
So regardless, one way or the other, whether you believe there is a Creator or not, kindness is an essential part of our world today. It is not only a critical pivotal component of life, it is something which is the very basis and the very fibers of every single member of our bodies. This is what we want to do if we want to live happy and change the world, and make this place a better place to be, not just for others but also for us. Kindness is the basis of everything that happens in the world.
At times, it's difficult to be kind because of what happens to us or situations that come up; but I urge you and I beg you to pay close attention to these words and use the word kindness in a most awesome way and use the action of kindness in every particular opportunity.

You have to know who you are at all times. You have to understand that you are unique and that your strengths are all yours to do whatever you wish with them. You have to remain loyal to yourself, that is the part that is always in touch with your soul.
There is a place in you that is absolutely wholesome; it's pure and it's not tarnished in any way, shape, or form… that is your soul; your self-being, that's your inner core.
There are two ways that you can write about your life. One is to say, "I'm so small and I make such ridiculous messes that even if the Creator of this magnificent universe had some plan for me, by now He probably has given up, so I want to give up too."
There's also another way to write about your life, and it's to say, "I'm so small, and I do make a lot of messy mistakes and stupid little things. Nevertheless, the Creator of this magnificent universe will not let go of His belief in me and neither will I."
You see with this belief, you can do what you want and know that you do matter in this world. If you did good, celebrate that you have, to a certain extent, made this world a better place to be and the Creator of the world has been there with you to do the good work. If you fell on your face and made a mistake, celebrate it that the Creator of the world who doesn't abandon you at any time helped you get up and start again. When a person does something truly good, there will be opposition. There will be fights.
In every garden, there will be weeds. Your job is not to allow it to grow too much. Don't allow yourself to become upset by people or things. They are powerless. Your reaction is their only power.
Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, and today is the ready cash; so spend it wisely. Know what to do with it, and realize who you are, and I promise you, you will live a good life for many, many years to come without any interruptions. The choice is yours.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 68 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you know the difference between seeding and planting? When one sews wheat, the product grows quite quickly. When one plants a seed, it takes quite some time before it bears a fruit. The efforts of a human being are very much the same. If your efforts don’t bear immediate results you might be engaged in planting. However, the ultimate reward might take longer to materialize and will be infinitely greater. So, don’t judge yourself by immediate results. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Have you ever thought about the United States of America – what a beautiful country it is? America is the country where you can start with so little and build so much. Ben Franklin built a kite, a lightning rod, and he discovered electricity. He even wrote a comment that says, “Diligence is the mother of good luck.” This man knew that if you persevered in what you did, you could develop so much. Continuously.
Even though at times we feel that we have failures and even though sometimes we feel that we are limited living in America; having constant access to so much gives us the ability to rise above in everything that we do. Did you know that most failures eventually lead to successes? But you have to persevere. This is what I wish for you every day.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 66 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What do you do when you have challenges all around you so large that they seem insurmountable? What do you do when there’s only darkness and the storms of life are closing in on you? The light at the core of your being can illuminate the whole world. If you are aware that you are being loved beyond measure by the Creator, you can change everything around you. You have the ability through your positive thoughts, and good actions, to create throughout the whole world a series of goodness that reverberates across the universe and touch everyone and everything.

Always remember that music, laughter, goodness, joy, and rainbows always come after a storm. With gladness, you can wash away any disappointment. You can dissolve any sorrow, and you can love everyone. Bringing wisdom into your life, understanding what life is all about, and living in an abundant way – that is a blessing that I wish for you. Don’t let these storms darken your path. Light up your world, and think before you act. Change everything around you with a positive thing. Do it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 65 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Do you know what it means to be blessed?
My own interpretation of being blessed is that you have abundance in all good things. It also means that your joys, like the stars at night, are too numerous to count. It means that your victories are more abundant than all the grains of sand on all the beaches and all the oceans all over the world. It means also that lack and struggle actually only serves to make you stronger.
It also means that beauty, order, and abundance are your constant companions. It means that every pathway that you choose leads you to that which is pure, good, and lovely. Every doubt and fear can actually be replaced by a deep, binding trust – something that serves to you as an evidence that there is a higher power all around you.
That is what a true blessing means. If this is what you have in your life, then you are truly blessed. If it’s not what you have in your life then change it by changing yourself. You can change everything around you. These blessings can become yours. It can happen – and you can do it.

What is the difference between light and darkness? When men build a dam, it is to generate electricity. The goal is to allow the water to flow as it did before. The real goal is for it to vigorously cascade, moving through and activating the turbines so that the water attains a higher level than it had originally done – so then it creates electricity.
It’s an interesting concept, that darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Darkness is no more than the absence of light that is the definition of darkness. Darkness lacks the power to create and to build. Light, on the other hand, has absolutely no way to battle against darkness. When it appears, the darkness melts away.
That is the way you should lead your life. Do not allow any darkness to enter your day-to-day life. Let the light in, and live life. You will see that you can overcome every possible challenge facing you can be overcome. Have a wonderful day.

A wise man once wrote, “The sun is always shining. Even when it is night on one half of the globe, there is sunshine on the other… Even where it is dark, the brightness is present through the stars.” What an amazing concept.
Only a truly wise man could say such a thing. What this means is that you have the power within yourself to overcome any challenge at any time. Even though it may seem that you’re not able to, you have that power within yourself. There is power in believing in yourself and knowing that you can overcome it. Take that strength and hold on to it with every fiber of your body and overcome it.
Every challenge we are presented with in life packs a certain amount of energy and to meet that challenge requires of us an amount of energy equal to that of the challenge. But here’s the beautiful thing - it is given to you and you can overcome it at any given time.
What are you waiting for? Don’t let any challenge be in your way, and do not let, ever, the signs that are given to you pass by. Remember, the sun is always shining. Always.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 62 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Some people are often afraid or somewhat uncomfortable with being vulnerable. Vulnerable means to be accessible, to be defenseless, to be exposed, and often, to be liable or ready. But to be vulnerable can be such a great opportunity for you to be who you truly want to be. For instance, just saying “I'm sorry” means that you don't have any cover-ups. You can apologize for the mistake you've made.
The person who has an inner wholesomeness does not fear saying “I'm sorry” ever. They are honest about themselves and they can be vulnerable as to what happens. Vulnerable about their emotions and for that, they're agreeing to be who they are. Now that is because it doesn't shatter the core of their identity. They know who they are and they believe in their mission.
Therefore, they are not vulnerable. They're accepting their fate, their actions, and they just realize what is going on in their life. To be sensitive to yourself that matters, to be liable. To be ready, to be always agreeing with yourself and knowing at all times who you are and what you've done and what you can do. That makes such a big difference in the world and in what you're looking for. The capability or the susceptibility of being wounded or hurt by a weapon doesn't make you vulnerable to yourself.
To be open morally to criticism, the temptation, and to be able to defend anything that attacks you, doesn't make you vulnerable. It makes you stronger. Vulnerability at any time can be an asset if you know how to defend yourself and who you are. If you stand on your grounds, believe in yourself, and know what your true mission is at any given time; you know where you come from.
You know that the way you were raised, and you know everything about your past. You've accepted your mistakes, you realize where would you like your future to be, and you know where your present is at any given moment.
You can stand up proud knowing exactly what you want to do. Vulnerability becomes an asset not just a condition, and not a fear.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 60 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Do you know the difference between faith and trust? Faith has limitations, an example of that is if a person were drowning in water and was holding onto a straw. Faith is what keeps you going, it keeps you thinking and believing that you will make it. As long as you’re holding on to that straw, something is there to save you. But you still need the straw. Trust is different. Trust is letting go of the straw and knowing for a fact that you will make it, regardless of the situation. This is what life is all about, trusting in your abilities to overcome any challenge that comes your way. Trusting the strength that’s given from above, to continuously keep you going. There are challenges, difficulties, and obstacles and they will not stop. You have the chance and the opportunity to change, and make a difference. Believe in yourself. Believe in the one Creator. Always know that by trusting the Creator you, yourself can overcome any challenge at any time. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 59 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Many people have the will, the notion, and often the ambition to be different. Now, being different, what does it mean? Does it mean dressing like everyone else, acting like everyone else, thinking like everyone else?
Being different means so much; you can be yourself. That's different enough. As a matter of fact, there's no one like you. There is no other human being like you. You are the only one, a unique creation that walks in this earth, that walks, talks, thinks, acts, and is like you. That's it.
Not everybody dresses like everybody else, and not everybody likes to act like everyone else. To be different, to be unique, to be who you want to be is the truest that you have at any given time. Being different means to be your true self, to deeply find your purpose on Earth— your origins, your notions, your understanding, and develop them to the fullest extent. Being different means to be who you were meant to be.
Now you may say, "I am not sure who that is." The truth is, you know if you think about it. Who else can know better than you who you are? No one knows. Not even your parents who gave you birth or your friends who seem to be close to you, or even your spouse -no one. You know better than anybody else who you are. You know what makes you better each day and the things that can make you even greater. You know your faults, you know your issues, your obstacles, your fears, your reactions, your emotions, you know everything about you.
Now you have to accept it because it's not always pleasant at times to face yourself. Once you do and you realize who you are and what you've got, what a journey it can be to go where you want to be. And at that moment, by being yourself exactly the way you were meant to be, you will be different. So, don't look how other people dress and want to copy them. That's not being “different”, That's copying others. Don't look at how others speak or act, or what others get. Looking at them and finding what they have, that's not what you want, that's not what you need, that's not being different, that's just being a copy.
We all start as originals and often end up as a copy. You now should want to be different and go back to becoming original; and I know you can do it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 58 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
As I was driving by today, I saw a man on a bicycle with flip-flops, a t-shirt, a suntan, shorts, enjoying his ride. He had a drink in his hands and he seemed as though he had no care and no worries at all. He seemed quite relaxed. He looked truly happy. He was just waiting at the light to cross the street with his bicycle. It occurred to me that there are people in this world who enjoy their day, even though don’t seem to have much.
You could tell that this man did not have a lot but in truth, irrespective of his material possessions, this man seemed quite content. The ultimate life, to be happy with what you have, not to be in constant pursuit of more or greater, or better, but just to be content.
Contentment is a gift. It's not something that you are actually given from the beginning. It's something that you learn, something that you acquire over a period of time. Something that if you were to do it properly, you will experience and you could work on it to keep it for the rest of your life. Content is not just a state of mind, it's a piece of art.
Each day makes up a piece in the mosaic of your life. If you are content with what you have, happiness is not something that you pursue. Happiness is actually something that you design, something that you wish and something that you work for on a constant basis. Accept what you have, the challenges that you face, and understand the obstacles that are in front of you while being content with your results. The direction you're going and the things that you're doing, involves your mind, involves your heart, involves your speech, even your actions. Be content with what you've got, at all times— no worries, no care.
I really don't know what this man's life is like or what he was doing. I don't know, but he seemed to me pretty happy and quite content. From this I learned to also use that in my life, irrespective of the direction or the challenges or the obstacles. To be content at all times, and live that way from now on.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 57 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is interesting that in our present world there is always a struggle between good and evil. Every human being faces this. Only very few people in this world, who are chosen to be special people, don’t have that struggle. In every struggle, there are ups and downs. Times when the evil in us gets the better of us. There are also times when the inherent good within us triumphs. Our world is a world that allows for the existence of greed, hate, and suffering… But also for goodness, sharing, and loving. Although the Creator created such a world as to reflect the infinite goodness and perfection, He also shrouded all of this in a veil of distinctive evil. That veil only conceals and distorts the true nature of what man is. Man has the freedom to choose between good and evil at any given time. Man can either labor to bring light and good inherent in himself, and all the world around him, or he can intensify this illusion of evil. What would you like to do today? How would you like to change the world? You have the opportunity to make a difference. Choose the right way, and make a difference for yourself and for those around you. You will affect the world and its universe for eternity. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 55 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There was a story that I read once about an elderly carpenter who was ready to retire. He told his employer who was a contractor, that he had made plans to leave the house building business, and wanted to live a more leisurely life with his family.
The contractor was so sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. Of course, the carpenter said yes. But, in time it wasn't easy to see that his heart was not in it. The carpenter did not do as well as he should have and built a shoddy house. Well, it's unfortunate that this is the way he ended his dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the house and he handed him the front door key, and said, "This is your house, my gift to you."
At that moment the carpenter was shocked, what a shame. If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have done it so differently.
You see, it is the same with us. We build our lives a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building; then with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it so much differently. But we can't go back.
You are your own carpenter of your own house. Each day, you hammer a nail or you place a board, or even erect a wall. “Life is a do-it-yourself” project.
Someone has said that your attitude and choices you make today, build a house you will live in tomorrow. So, why not build wisely and pay attention to every detail?
You only have one house to live in and that is the one that you build for yourself. You can have exceptional friends, good acquaintances, but you can never have a great house unless you built it the way that you want it to be, to the utmost level. Be careful about that.
This is a story that is so true when it comes to building your own home. Pay attention to the details. This is your house and this is the gift that you give to yourself. Build wisely and carefully because there's no turning back.

What is the difference between being concerned or worried?
Concerned means that you truly care about something and you have either an opinion, an idea, or a thought that might influence what you're doing or what is happening. Worried means that you have a lack of faith or a lack of trust in the Creator, as much as the possibility of failure within yourself of something that might not be able to be accomplished; so, you worry.
If you think about those two terms, being concerned or worried, which one truly should you use at any given time when situations arise? Concerned means that you care but at the same time you know something needs to be done about it. Worried means you'll also do something about it but you don't think it's going to be positive. You don't think it's going to come out okay. You have a feeling that things are going to turn out eventually, but not to your satisfaction or to what you believe may be the best. As a matter of fact, you think that the outcome will probably be negative; and that's why you're worried. If not, all negative, that there is a possibility that the outcome could be negative, negative enough that it could cause something terrible to happen.
Why would you think that way? Why would you let your thoughts take you to an area which is so dark and without an exit? Why would you do that?
Concern is more of somebody's true care. Be concerned about the world, be concerned about people, be concerned about things that you see about other people. It is so important that when you are good to yourself, you are the best to yourself. When you're good to others, you're even better not just to yourself but to the whole world.
Gratitude is not just a nice gesture. Gratitude is something that we have to carry with us at all times. But more than gratitude is the appreciation that knowing that things will be better and complete faith, unadulterated, genuine, 100% “trust” that everything will be fine, and things will look alright, and don't think about yourself. Think about the world, and things will be fine. There are always people out there that have so much less than you. Once you realize that, you'll see, you'll be grateful.

It is very important to understand the preciousness of time. Today is the most important day of your life. Now you might say, so was yesterday and so could be tomorrow. The truth is, what you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. What will happen over the next few hours is dependent on what you do today.
All of life and all of the future is based on what you do at the moment, when you think about it. As you think about this moment right now, it will determine what type of future you're going to have later on. Of course, there's the past and there's the present, and there's also the future.
Now what you need to do is to borrow from the future, of the vision that you wish to have. Then, mix that with the experiences from the past of things that you've done as an enticement to make your present better.
We look forward to the future with the hope that it will be better, but hope isn't good enough. What you need is the action of today to change and make better and elevate or enhance what was your past.
Exchanging a day of your life is an important component of understanding true maturity in life. One day, one life is so important. There is nothing greater than time, and it's a commodity that you cannot control at any given time. Time past will never be regained, never. But here's the beauty; and that is that as time passes, the new time that comes will never again exist after that moment.
Each and every minute that exists is a new energy, a new source of life that comes to us as a gift, and that's why it's called the present.
Use it wisely, use it with all the fibers of every member of your body. Make it so that it makes a difference in your life and the life of others. In this way, you'll appreciate it because yard-by-yard, life is hard, inch by inch, is its itch. That's just the way it goes.

Did you know that when diamonds are found they are usually found in dirt? They have to be extracted, cleaned up, polished, and often cut. There's a lot of work that needs to be done for a diamond to be either appreciated or understood. If you see a diamond in the rough, you wouldn't know that this precious stone has actually a huge monetary value on the market.
This is the same as it is with people. Often, you meet people who seem to be, to a certain extent, “rough”. Rough on the edges, rough in their beings, in their appearance, or sometimes perhaps rough in just the way they act. But, behind that dust, behind the things around it that makes it look rough, there is a true diamond that lives there, and that is the real person that you see behind.
We need to pay attention to this and we need to always be conscientious of the fact that each and every human being in this world is a diamond. Not what we see, not what we think, not what we even believe, but what is inside the diamond.
What is inside the person is a decent human being, someone who wants to give and share, love and give anything at any given time to anyone. It is the dust that surrounds them sometimes because it hasn't been cut properly.
It's true that we find at times people who did not have the opportunity to be raised in a proper environment, or just have not been given the skills or the tools to handle various challenging situations. So it could become difficult or challenging for them to act properly. But if you know that they are diamonds inside, their true value is beyond words. So it is actually with every single creation in the world.
Every single thing that has been created in this world has value. An insurmountable value; something which is infinite if you really look at it properly. Why not think, know, and understand that all these diamonds, are just a reflection of who we are?

It is said that courage is the greatest of all the virtues. What should you have the courage for? How should you best use this courage that you have that's an innate power?
You should use it to do whatever you wish to do. But, at all times you need to know what to do with it, because life has no remote control. What you want to change, you have to get up and change it yourself. That's just the way things are.
You have to think less of what the future will bring you and more of what you can bring to the future, if you want things to change. Imperfect action always beats the perfect inaction. Once you know that and you realize what you've got in front of you. You have to realize and remember, you're not born a winner and you're not born a loser. You are born a chooser.
Indeed, we're not the products of our own circumstances. We are the products of our own decisions. We were given courage. Courage is the greatest of all virtues. Why not use this to the best of our abilities to be and do, and think, and say what we need to?
A thought becomes a word; a word will translate into an action; an action will translate into a habit, and the habit will translate into a character which will then make our destiny. This is how life is. This is what we go through every day to become who we are today. So, don't think of yourself as being impossibly or incorrectly changeable.
You're not a thing; you're not a machine. You are a human being and you can change. Anything that you want in this life, can be changed. Most obstacles are really “obstacle illusions”. Once you remember that, then everything is easy.
I'm not saying the journey will be easy; there will be bumps in the roads and there will be challenges. But once you know who you are and that you got the courage to overcome it then, why be concerned? Why worry? Or even why be stressed? You can handle it, you could do anything you want; because you have the power to do so at any given time.

With the advance of technology today, I'm sure you know what a GPS is. But do you know how it works?
When you get lost, the GPS doesn't tell you to go back to your starting point, rather its recalculates and fixes your route via satellite from above.
May I suggest that this is how life is? When you get lost in life and things seem to be challenging, you need to trust the Creator who has a map which is kept above to get you back at any time where you need to be. In other words, He will get you back on track.
There are some people who don't believe this concept and by the time they're ready to go, they are disappointed.
May I share with you the five top regrets that people have on their deathbed? This may help you realize where we are.
Here's number one: People say, "I wish I had the courage to live a true life to myself, not the life that other people expected me to live."
Second, "I wish I didn't work so hard." How many people say that?
Here's the third: People say, "I wish I had the courage to express my feelings; my true feelings the way they were.”
Here's the fourth one: "I wish I had stayed in touch with my family and friends more often."
And here's the fifth one: "I wish that I had let myself be happier and enjoy life the way that it was meant to be."
These five top regrets are the ones that often sometimes make us think, “Is this the way that we want to go? Do we want to have regrets at the end of our life?”
You see, a GPS tells us where to go from here forward, not to go back, and certainly not to the starting point; only to go forward and how to go about the right way. Why not make today the day that you decide to take the road that will lead you to happiness?
Be closer to your friends, express your feelings, stay in touch with your family, have the courage not to spend so much time at work but rather more time with your family. Thinking about this can change your life. It has changed mine and I'm sure it can do the same for you, because the Creator of the world only has good thoughts for us. We just have to turn them into action.

Would you like to know secrets of a powerful lesson covering how to turn your plans into action? Listen carefully…
The first thing that you must do to turn your life around, is to realize that you matter in this world. Everything that you do affects everything else around you. Not just your world, but the whole world from where you stand to the other side of the globe. Everything affects everything else.
The second thing is that you must dream a dream. Have a vision of what you want and then plan for the dream, realize what you must do. You must watch your dream turn into reality and enjoy the steps to do so. Now you might ask, “How would I do that?”
Here are nine critical words that you need to always remember.
First, if you’re faced with a challenge or difficulty, is to “Break it down”. “Break it down” means take it apart, and look at one piece at a time, just like you would do with a puzzle, and decide, of these pieces which one is the critical part that I want to start with. Break it down and make it simple for yourself.
The next three words are:
“Write it down.” “Write it down” so you will be able to visualize and understand it, realize that by writing it down this is your plan on how to make things better. How to change things.
The third set is, “get it done”. “Get it done” because you now want to watch that dream of getting rid of this challenge, or whatever difficulty you may be facing, become reality.
Break it down. Write it down, and Get it done. That’s what life is all about. A few steps taken in the right direction can change your whole world, and make this place a better place to live in. For everyone. Enjoy it – you deserve it!

Are you in control of your life? You should be. There are certain things you can't control, for instance, the weather, you can't control that. Time moving, you can’t control that either. How other people act, you can't control that.
You can control everything that's about you. If you really want to improve your situation at any given time, you can work on that one thing that you always have control over, yourself. Having control doesn't mean that you are in charge of everything or anyone, or all things around you. Having control and being in charge means that you're in control of yourself, your attitude, the way that you express yourself. Whether or not you help other people, and whether or not when you meet other people you make them feel greater than they are at the time that they see you; that you have control over. That's true control.
True control is knowing that you as a human being are limited, but only limited by your mind not by your potential. Your potential is above and beyond anything you can ever imagine and it is up to you to do what you wish with it. The control you have is that you can manage your time, your life, your habits, and turn it all towards positive.
Don't try to control other people or even attempt to control what is not within your power, such as the weather and the seasons. Seasons come and go. Here's the beautiful thing that we need to remember about the season: when it is winter and cold, and raining, and often, freezing, guess what? After the winter comes the spring, where things are pretty, flowers are blooming, and the weather becomes so much more pleasant. Then comes the summer.
Time is like the seasons, and business is like the seasons too. There'll be good days and days that don't seem to be as pleasant. But in reality, it's just a season— it goes by and things will change. So, use the control you have over the things that are yours, and let everything else go because it's not within your control.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 47 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever seen a stress ball or do you know what it is? Let me describe it, if I may, a little plastic ball. It fits just about in the palm of your hands and supposedly, not with any scientific backgrounds, when you're stressed you're supposed to take this stress ball and exert energy into the ball and squeeze it as hard as you can as many times as you need. This supposedly, again without any scientific background, should get rid of the stress that you have. Rather than exerting yourself in an improper matter or on things or people, you would release that negative energy or stress onto the ball; so it's called a stress ball.
Might I ask you, why would you want to squeeze a ball if you're stressed? Here is a suggestion; why not squeeze your own heart in a spiritual, non-physical manner? You will see what comes out of there. If you squeeze your heart hard enough, do you know what you will find?
So many good memories and good things have happened to you since you were born. Kindness that was extended to you, the friends you have, the family you were given, the good health, all of those things. You may say these things are not always there, and as a matter of fact, the reason why you were given this stress ball today is because you're experiencing quite a bit of stress, or perhaps a difficult obstacle, something that seems to be insurmountable. May I suggest to you that even “this will pass?” None of these things stay. Negativity or a challenge is only there to help you become better. One thing is for sure: it is always temporary, it never lasts. Just like the nights. Nights are temporary and so is darkness. The beauty of that, is that we know that after darkness will come light, and after squeezing will come expansion.
Nothing stays this negative. To the contrary, it becomes even better, so perhaps instead of squeezing the stress ball next time, why not think of how many wonderful blessings you've had and you continue to have? The stress that you're going through right now, whatever that may be, try to overlook it. Not so much by squeezing the stress out, but by emphasizing how much goodness there is in your life. This will be a tremendous blessing, something that you deserve to have at all times and that you need to concentrate on. It will be good for you.

In life, you must know that there are fundamentals which are important to remember. These are the concepts that we live by and principles that make us grow into better people.
The first fundamental of life is to know that you are created in the image of G-d. This is critical to your life and your family, it is truly important to always remember that.
The second fundamental of life is to know unequivocally that G-d wants you to succeed. The world was created such that, everything that was given to you - all the opportunities, all the possibilities - are possible for you. Everything is there to help you succeed, to help you to become better.
The third fundamental of life is that you have to live life to the fullest extent – and everything that you do in life must be to the fullest extent. This not only will make your life worthwhile, it will also give you the meaning and the purpose of the reasons why you were created.
The fourth fundamental of life is that mistakes are part of life. There’s no question that at times you will stumble and you will make mistakes. Don’t dwell too much on these mistakes – they’re part of life; they’re part of growth. There has to be at times, a stumbling block in front of you. Just call that a pothole in the road and move on.
The fifth fundamental of life is that imagination is the first step of possibilities. Know that you have within yourself the ability to succeed in anything and everything that you wish to do – it’s just a matter of time.
Pursue your dreams, and turn them into real actions. Make this place a better place for all of us to live in.

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 this and sometimes they're reminders. Reminders of how precious it is to be here on Earth. Thank G-d we live in the United States of America, a country of kindness and abundance beyond anything else in the world.
Yet at times, we don't recognize the goodness or the greatness that we have. It is a person just like this man this morning that reminded me of that. A smile on his face made me feel so comfortable. At the same time, I felt a slight jealousy in me.
Why didn't I smile to him this way? Why didn't I greet him first? Why didn't I have this attitude?
I decided, that starting today, I will also be just like that. When I approach that elevator, I will remember his smile, kindness, positive attitude, and beautiful way of making other people feel good. This is the way that we should be every day.
I am grateful for having met this man this morning. I'm grateful for the opportunity to remind me that we have so much to be thankful for. Everything that we have is a blessing, although we forget this at times. There are reminders, and this angel this morning was there to make me think about it, and I appreciate it!

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.

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 irritates us about others can truly lead us to a better understanding of ourselves if we're honest about it. If we want to, if we care to; and besides, why be angry? Why be upset at the other person? Anger, first of all, doesn't help. For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.
So, how does that benefit you?
Not only that, the other person can certainly use not just words of rebuke, admonition, or censorship, but rather words of love, comfort, and support. It is because they are in a time of need that they need it more than any other time or any other person.
When you see someone who's falling, don't just catch them; help them up and show them that you care. I promise you that by giving them your love, they will not only overcome any obstacle but learn by themselves how to be a better person. This is how they will learn. Not from the reprimand, but from the boosting up. Not from the admonition, but from the love. Not from the rebuke, but from the sincere care.
That's what they need and you could do that, it's within you; it's within each and every one of us to do that at any given time with our friends, siblings, family members, colleagues, acquaintances, or even with ourselves. Let's not be too harsh. It doesn't help. What helps is the opposite.

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. You have the ability to overcome any challenge at any given time; to think that you are incomplete is so far-fetched from reality. It's almost sinful, almost ridiculous.
Incompetent or deficient, these words have nothing to do with human beings, nothing at all. Human beings are powerful people who can do remarkable things, because they are remarkable people. We are creatures with powers beyond measure or imagination. All you are lacking is the understanding that you have these powers or the will to develop these powers. So, I suggest you let these words completely vanish and never bring them up in your life. Never think about them. Don't use them in any way, shape, or form. Know that you are invincible and you can do whatever you wish with the powers that you have been given. You don't need anything else. It's all within you. It's all within your reach. All you have to do is let it be discovered, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

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, and the success is the answer to that growth through the struggle. So, it is good to struggle. It is worth to struggle. It is necessary to struggle.
Now, we don't wish for trouble. We don't even wish for difficulty. We just wish we have the skill, the ability, the thought, the ambition, and certainly the will to overcome it. That's what life is all about. The same is true when we teach our own children or friend, that we speak to. Help them develop their own muscles so they can fly later. Do not cut open the cocoon because later on, they wouldn't be able to fly. That's not what you want. That's not what we expect, and that's not the result that we need.
We need to be able to help ourselves and anyone who comes to us; in our family or friends, help them see that struggle is necessary so that they can become better, stronger, wiser, and succeed. That's what life is all about. Struggling itself is part of the results, and I wish for you to find all the proper measures to take when these show up.

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 would not be able to recognize it.
You are what you see, and you see what you are. So, ask yourself these questions… Do you see goodness in others? When confronted with behavior that you dislike, are you able to see the flaw in others the same as you have in yourself? Test it. And change your life for the better.

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. So, spread the goodness and change your life.

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 people up. Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world but at least their world— and that is so special. Why not be the reason someone smiles today and every day? Why not be that person that can change the world?
Be the one that when you walk somewhere, everybody feels uplifted, feels better.
I have a sibling who is so kind and always giving. Wherever my brother goes, it seems that everybody laughs, everybody always feels good around him. It's a gift he's been given, to lift up people and make them feel greater about themselves than they “think” about themselves. That gift itself is not given to everybody. Certainly, we can work on it and we can make it so that with the abilities that we've been given, we can help not only the environments around where we are, but everyone else around us feel better, act better, look better, sound better.
All this can be done. Even though we have two ears and one month; we can listen and we could say the right things all the time.

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 all fours and never look up to heaven. Humans, however, always walk upright, and that means that their heads are up and they do look up to the heavens. The fact that we can look up motivates us to continuously grow and climb higher and higher in order to transcend our state of human beings and become the ultimate human person. You can do it!

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 true reality!

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.

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 world into the ultimate level that it can reach. That is true harmony. These three levels are all in you. You have the choice to change, and make that change. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

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.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 975 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
It is told about a gentleman whose name is Dick Fosbury, he was a high jumper, but instead of facing the pole in jumping with the feet first, somehow, he got the idea that he needed to throw his body over his head first with his face looking at the sky, and he said that, "I was told over and over again that I would never be successful and that this technique would never work."
He was quoted in saying that and in fact, he was so criticized that the position got his name, “The Fosbury Flop”, but interestingly enough, despite the ridicule, Fosbury trusted that he was on to something that was unique and he kept at it. Then soon enough, at the Olympics in Mexico in 1968, the laughter stopped and Fosbury not only won the gold medal with his flop but he set a new world record, and today, believe it or not, all high jumpers use this technique and this is how a new concept was born.
Isn't that amazing? You see, self-trust is the ability that we have that says to our self, "I'm on to something which is good, which is true, which is possible and I believe in it, and even though no one at this time does, I'm going to make it and I can do it." This capacity is what gives a person the ability, the strength, the power and the energy to go where no other person has gone before, and it can be done.
Throughout history, there were many people that they went through that, many who refused to go back down, and at any time, all of these people at times were ultimately proven correct.
You see, when you work hard at what you believe and you succeed, you get that sense of pride, something that can help you or take away from you, and it's precisely because you did it against all the odds, and you feel at that moment victorious, powerful. It's a sense of true accomplishment which gives you the ability to fuel that trust within yourself and it creates this upward spiral increasing joy of satisfaction in everything that you do and everything that you've got, and why not? You deserve it. You stood up for yourself.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 974 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is said that when Adam was created, according to the Bible, the Creator immediately apprised him of his powers and it gave him the purpose in life, and that was to replenish the Earth and conquer it. And he would have dominion over the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the Earth. Then he was given the power to conquer the whole world and to rule over it on land, on sea, in the air, and he was commended to do this as a task, but how does that work?
The word 'conquest' which was given to man as his task and mission in life is to elevate the whole nature, including the beasts and the animals, but needless to say, before a man can set out to conquer the whole world, he must first conquer within himself, his “earthly being”, his personality, and his inclination which is not as good or as Divine, his own nature.
How does he do that? Well, G-d created man in such a way where this person can, at any given time, any individual, including you and I do whatever we wish. In conquering the world, and making it a better place, if a person doesn't fulfill their task, they don't utilize this inestimable divine power that we were given, and they can waste a lifetime.
Everyone must therefore ask themselves, how much have I accomplished in this direction and to what extent have I failed, so that I can make the proper resolutions and change not only myself but change the world around me? This is something that we will all must do right away and keep up with.

There's a story of a wise man who had children. Now, two of his sons were of different age, but the older son was short in stature and the younger son was taller. So, one was older and shorter, and the second one was younger but taller.
One day, the father saw them playing outside in the yard and the older brother dug a hole, a ditch, in the garden and put his brother there and this way, he could, by standing up, be taller than his younger brother. When the father saw this, he called out to the boy, the older brother, and he asked him, "Why did you dig the hole and put your brother in it?" He answered, "Well, my brother is younger than I, and yet he's taller, so by me putting him in the hole, it gives me the opportunity to restore the equilibrium, and this way, since I am older, I am actually now taller." His father looked at him and thought about this and said to his son in a kind way, that this was good but it was not the proper way to do it. The best way to do this next time, his father said, "If you ever find yourself in a situation, instead of putting your brother in a ditch, you should climb on a mountain."
You see, in life, people need to feel tall and often, they want to be bigger than others, and the easiest way to feel tall at times, is to put everybody else down, put them into a ditch, into a hole, and if this is the case, then maybe “I am better, maybe I'm greater.” That's the psychology behind most people who belittle others, but really, that's not the way to do it.
Climb on a mountain means, as the father was telling his son, make yourself greater if you have to but don't put others down. To the contrary, if you want to rise, lift others. By you lifting them, you actually rise and there's no reason ever to put people down. There's no reason to belittle them, make them feel smaller so that you appear bigger.
So next time you're in a situation and someone else is bigger than you, either in stature or in character, or in whatever way, why not analyze the situation and make that person feel greater about themselves than they are. Help them reach that height even higher if need be. While you climb on a mountain, find that way that will get you to the top to make you better or greater, or equal, but not at the expense of the other, but at the benefit of both.
Help others, it says, get what they need, and you will have everything you want, without destroying them or hurting them, but rather by loving them or helping them. You'll benefit and so will they, and so will the whole world.

Daily Wisdom  â Motivational Podcast â Day 972 â Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is a story of a king who was quite benevolent and very kind to all of his constituents and he sent a notice to the whole country, and anyone who wished to come and visit him on a specific date, the gates of the palace will be open between six in the morning until six in the evening. Everyone was invited. There would be no red tape, no bureaucracy, no one would be refused entrance into the palace, and everyone could come.
Now, the king was a very wise man and so he set up the palace in such a unique fashion that you had to go through different floors to get there. On the first floor, there was a lavish exposition of all the best food that the palace could offer. On the second floor, there were drinks, aged wines and all types of liquor. On the third floor, all the jewelry and all the wealth of the extravagant type of jewels that the palace owned were displayed. On the fourth floor, all of the galleries of arts that had been accumulated by the palace were displayed in that floor. On the fifth floor, all the books and the manuscripts, those of young and old age were all displayed for anyone who wanted to put their time into it. On the sixth floor, the musicians of some of the best type of instruments were playing melodies that were above and beyond.
Now, everyone flocked to each floor according to their nature. Some people wanted to see what the jewelry looked like and some preferred to read the manuscripts, and others just wanted to listen to the music. But by six oâclock at night, everyone had to leave and they missed the king.
Now, there was a simple peasant who knew nothing and so when he showed up at six in the morning, he only took a small bite of the food, then he went on and had a small drink on the second floor, then he skipped all the other floors because he was not interested in the music and the jewelry and the art, and the manuscripts, he was just a simple peasant. Then he got to the floor and he spent the whole day with the king. He was the only one. The other people, because they were so sophisticated, they were enamored by the glory, the richness, the royalty, the aristocracy and they got stuck on the other floor, but not him. The core of the relationship that he developed with the King on that day was exceptional.
Ask yourself this question: what is the best use of your time? Are you spending too much time with the toys and at work looking at the manuscripts, or figuring out the best foods, or are you spending time with your family, your children, loved ones, perhaps, or parents?
How do you make the best use of your time? How do you know that you're spending your time in the right proportion towards the things that should matter in life? You don't want the evening to come which is the end of life for you only to realize that you spent most of your time going around enjoying the food, drinks, arts, and other trivialities without spending the right time with your family or your loved ones, or those who matter so much to you.
So the best use of your time, is to pay attention to it today and wherever you are, whomever you are, you can change that, today.

There's an interesting concept about who we are and how we find out about the type of person we are, what our character is, and really who our core essence is all about.
Now, it has been taught that people we encounter in our lives are our own mirrors. Isn't that interesting? So, it means that if we see evil in them, in these people we encounter, we are really seeing a reflection of the evil or the negative within us. And, since we are generally blind to our own faults, the Creator of the world arranges it so that we notice them in someone else; and therefore, we're expected at this point to take the cue and recognize that we possess the same faults so that we can correct them in ourselves.
This is a phenomenal concept if you think about it because that means that every time you meet someone and you see the negative in them, it's really in you, and that's a lesson. Think about that. Now, if you think this is far-fetched, why not try it? Give it a chance.
The next person that you meet, in a way or in any opportunities, analyze them, see what you think about them, and see what you say. And let's see whether or not that truly represents you. You have to be honest and I'm sure you'll be and see what it can do.

You may ask the question, how long will I have to persist before I become successful? What will I need to do to reach my goals and see my achievements flourish? How long will it take?
You know, it’s interesting. I heard recently that Walt Disney, for instance, was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his concept of Disneyland. That just amazed me, if you think about it: today, it is one of the most proliferate and successful parks in the world and there are two locations in California and Florida. Yet, it took that many times, 302 times that he was turned down. If it was such a good idea, how come no one could see it? Why didn’t anybody come forth and say, “This is wonderful. We would like to invest.” To the contrary, he was turned down.
You see, there are many stories of such folks who persisted despite the odds before they actually achieved success. Quite interesting. Now, all of these people ended up phenomenally wealthy but sometimes, it’s not about the money. Often, it’s about the concept, principal, the idea, the venture, the journey, that’s what they wanted.
So if you find yourself at a position right now where you are not succeeding, you are not achieving your goal, you are not reaching this aspiration that you thought you could reach within a period of time, one word comes to mind and that’s persistence. You have to persist at what you do and you have to keep it up. If you truly believe in your dream, if you believe in what you’re doing will succeed and will help the world become a better place, don’t give up. To the contrary, double your efforts and show it with enthusiasm. Show it with great care, show it with love, and continuously put all your efforts and energies towards that success. After all, what else have you got to do in this beautiful life than mastering the art of success? Becoming the person that you wish to be, arriving at a result where you will get what you want in the way that you see it. And if you ever get discouraged, remember the number 302, because that’s what it took for this person to be turned down, but Mr. Walt Disney persisted.
I’m not suggesting that his idea is a great idea or this is the way you should do things. I’m using this as an example to conquer the world and develop your dreams, challenge yourself to be the greatest person that you wish to be, and with persistence and continuous legacy, you will arrive where you need to be, and this, I wish for you from the bottom of my heart because you deserve it. Whether or not your idea is great, that’s what you want to do, and I hope you follow through and don’t stop, don’t give up, keep on doing it until you get there, and share with the world this dream.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 969 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Here is a subject which is close to my heart for many years and that is, how do we change our mind to see the positive?
There’s a theory behind it and it’s been proven, even scientifically. As a matter of fact, recent breakthroughs show that the brain functions in two areas. When it’s the left side of the brain, we think thoughts of peace and happiness, joy, contentment, even optimism. But when the right side is activated, then we have the opposite. We have the doom and gloom, and the worries, and even pessimism.
Now, each one of those can be activated at any given time and we have the power to control one versus the other. And, by the time we become adults, unfortunately, depending on the character and the life that we’ve lived, we automatically go towards one versus the other. It’s interesting, isn’t it?
Here’s the great news, however, for anyone whose mind goes to the gloomy side, the side that is negative: if you want to, you have to choose to think about things that are peaceful and optimistic.
First know that you have the ability to do that. Second, over a period of time, you will need to train yourself that always think on the side of good. You may say, well, that’s simple until something comes up and when that challenge, that obstacle happens, what will you do? Stop and think at that moment, what is it that you’re trying to accomplish? To overcome that obstacle, there is a solution. It may not be apparent in the beginning but it’s certainly there, so here are a few steps that you might want to take: first, realize that it takes practice to create a new pathway. You’re not going to go from this gloomy negative side to positive overnight, but however, you should know that you can do it and that the first thing you need is the awareness without judging yourself that you can create a new path to go towards the positive.
The second is the learning. You have to learn and through reflection sometimes even after the event that things can become better, and the new habit will then be created. You have to focus on the positive because this is the only way to live a peaceful life. And since you don’t have control over some of those situations, what’s the point of worrying or thinking negatively? That doesn’t mean you deny the challenges or that there is no grief in your life, or that these circumstances simply don’t exist. No, all of these are real. The question is, what are you going to do about it? How will you react when these things happen and what will be the action that you will take? If you want to be happy, those are the steps you need to follow. The difficulty in your life can be controlled with your mind if you wish to at any given time.

The topic of money has always been a difficult subject to approach. Money is such an emotional topic and most people have ambivalent feelings about it or speaking about it.
Now, so many things are being shown on television and on the internet about movies and how they characterize people who are so wealthy. Is really the love of money that is evil or is money the root of all evil? It’s a difficult question. One thing is for sure however, if you could do better in life and if you could strive in an ethical and legal way to acquire more, is that bad, is that not good?
You see, the greatest satisfaction in life or at least one of the greatest satisfaction in life comes to those who make it a habit of doing the best at everything with everything they’ve got, and doing less than that, it’s a way of showing that you really don’t care so much about your life.
We are creatures of enterprise. We love challenges. We love growth and we love to benefit from it. So if you know something and you have an ability, why not use it to become financially free?
See, sophisticated people know that it’s not the amount that matters. It’s what you’re given and what you do with what you’re given, doing all that you can with what you’ve got. Of course, acquisitions of all kinds of material things show the type of person that you are but at the same time, your philosophy about life or your attitude, or your knowledge and your thoughts, even your character, does not need to be affected by financial freedom or financial responsibility. What you do does speak loudly about what you have but at the same time, what matters is what you do with what you have.
I once heard someone say, if I had more money, I would have a better plan and the answer was to that person, I would have actually suggested to you that if you had a better plan, you would have more money. You see, it’s not the amount that counts. It’s the plan that counts. It’s not how much you allocate but how you allocate it.
Financial freedom is about knowing what to do with the money that you’ve got. Money is not evil. People do evil things with it but why not try to become financially free and live a life of goodness without having to do too much more than your supposed to?

There are studies that have been published in the recent past that show that the belief that you cannot change other people is not only disempowering, it is scientifically false. Isn’t that interesting? We always thought and always heard that you can’t change other people, that whoever they are, that’s where they’re going to stay. However, what you can do is you can influence them. Influencing someone means giving them the opportunity to expand their mind to see other possibilities.
See, when our brains become full of negative information early in the morning, the lens through which we view our work and our life changes in a narrowed path. When people that you are dealing with or that you are acquainted with and you see them being in that position in what they call the stress out zone, you can influence them. You can’t change them but you can influence them. You can influence them in such a way where you show them the opportunities and focusing on the solutions rather than the problems. You can influence them and showing them all the myriads of things that can be done to make their lives better. It can be done.
There’s a saying that says “be humble of the spirit of every man”, meaning every man could become better through his fellow. It can be done. All of us have this opportunity and I suggest you use all of that to make a change in the world.

Articulating a goal is quite challenging. Ask yourself the question, what would you like to do to change your life for the better? Would you like to be more focused or friendly? Would you like to have a better communication with the people that you’re with? Is it time to set up a plan for you to earn more money, have a greater work and life balance perhaps, maybe less stress, learn about confidence, acquiring patience, what is it? What are your goals?
By articulating these goals, you can change to have what you want or more of what you want. The truth is, nothing in life is more satisfying than someone articulating a goal and actually achieving it, not to invigorate. The discipline that it takes you to get there, it is the bridge between thought and accomplishment, and once you arrive there, you’ll be better in everything that you wish. Perhaps maybe as mentioned before: dealing with anger, stop worrying, becoming, to a certain extent, more caring, more confident, or being able to delegate things in the office or to people who work around you. Achieve whatever it is that you want to develop.
Now, behavioral change is hard, no matter whom, no matter what, but if you take the vow to change and you do it in a way that is conscientious, you’ll arrive at the point that you wish. Perhaps not when you wish, but if you work hard enough, you’ll get there. This is you, doing whatever you wish to get what you want because in life, as it has been said before, what matters is not how much you accumulate, but what you become; to find yourself on a timely basis exactly where you want to be. It may take time but once you get there, you’ll find happiness at its ultimate level. You’ll see not only how much you’ve accomplished for yourself but for all those around you, including people that you didn’t even think you could touch. Quite amazing.
The concept of rolling out a plan and articulating it is about making yourself prepared for it. By setting a plan, you will not only have an idea of what you’re going to do, but you’ll have goals that you will need to meet, and a time restraint that you’ll have to meet these goals. There was one saying that I heard once and it stayed with me till today, and that is that no plan is a plan to fail, so articulate your goals, write them down, get them done because you deserve to be the person that you wish to be.

This is a difficult subject to discuss: suffering. Why do people suffer? Especially some people makes it even harder to accept when we see children in hospital wards that are suffering and that are in pain. We don’t quite understand it.
Why do we have to endure suffering and where does it come from? And there’s a suggested advice as to enable one to accept it with love and that is that, if one sees infliction befalling him, he should examine his deeds. It doesn’t mean that that person has done anything wrong as in the case of the child in the hospital. We don’t quite understand the need or the source of that suffering. Suffering is a difficult test that we have to go through, but here’s an example that you might think about: imagine in a palace lived an awesome king who, out of his immense love for his only son, who will become a prince later and once, the new king. Imagine that this king now having to personally wash him off of the filth that this little boy got from playing in the garden. When one becomes aware of the great love that the king has for his child, we realize that what he’s doing for him is out of great necessity. I’m not suggesting that the things that have happened, where they’re happening in the world today to anyone of us, especially those, unfortunately, who are suffering, that there is a reason for it.
Somewhere in the Heavens, there may be an explanation but here on Earth, it’s hard to see. And as it says, the face reflecting in the water which is reflecting the person, so is the heart of man to man. We know that, we realize it, and so we accept it. Enduring suffering, it’s not so simple, but it’s a test that we have to go through, something that has to be there, something for whatever reason that we must realize, but if you perceive and understand the preciousness of the nature of where it comes from, it might make it easier.
Thank G-d however, the severity is ultimately reduced and benevolence comes along the way. All suffering ends at one point. All difficulties end at one point. All challenges and obstacles, at one point in time, they’re reduced and they go away. So many stories can be told about suffering over the ages.
I’m suggesting that we focus on the love and the good things and while you right now might not be suffering, there is someone out there who is suffering. What we can do is pray for them, and hope and wish the best for them. We can also see perhaps if we can help them. Whatever the challenge may be, is there something we can do to help them? Once we do that, we become part of their help, part of their salvation. It’s not always possible but we could try, and this will make this world a better place for all of us.

One of the most relaxing and great opportunities of life is to travel. When you travel, you have the benefit of being alone with your thoughts. You can gain confidence, you can meet people, you can even discover new things and experiences that you enjoy. You’re actually the master of your own schedule when you travel, especially to destinations where you can have relaxations.
I had dinner with some friends recently and they spoke about places that they went to see, places they visited, and what they enjoyed the most. One of those places, one of the person was saying, was up in the mountains in a secluded area amongst nature, and he woke up early, he said, and prayed, and he felt that he was just there among the millions and billions and billions of other creations, but he felt that the whole world was centered around where he was.
This happened to me also and I’m sure it happened to you at times. When we are in a situation, especially when we travel and find ourselves in a place which is remote, quiet, just where we get to reflect and appreciate. Traveling should be a dream and I hope it is for you, something that you enjoy.

I met someone the other day who was worried all week, and this person told me that it felt as though it had rained every single day even though the weather was quite nice. This person worried for days about something that she could not control, and actually, it ended up just fine anyway.
What a waste of time and energy that we find sometimes worrying about things that we shouldn’t be worried about.
Worry, interestingly enough, typically is about the future even if it is a moment from now, a minute from now. And what we are really worried about is our ability and capacity to deal with what’s going to happen, that’s what worry is all about.
There’s something about worrying in us which is either positive or negative. There are things that we can do something about and the things that we cannot do anything about. Worrying gets us absolutely nowhere for most of us. Interestingly enough, the worry, after whatever the obstacle, challenge, or the occasion is passes, we find that we worried for nothing. It ended up just fine. We have the opportunity to prove ourselves, to handle any particular situation but often, we don’t trust ourselves; we are not sure, and so think about this: if you are currently worried about something, if you are currently in a situation and you’re worrying about that, ask yourself the question, the things that have happened to you in the past, were they worth worried about? Did the worry add anything to your life? Did the worry accomplish anything that was positive? Did it help?
You don’t have to expend your emotional energy on things that you have no control over, and even if you think you may have control over, why not be free? Live in the moment and concern yourself with what you have today and on the things that you're doing today. You don’t have to worry about life, the future, and certainly not about the past. What has happened has already happened. Become more flexible in your understanding of where you are. There is always a variety of possible responses, always a situation that can be changed, things that can be accommodated. If you can, think about options that you have but if you see that you can’t, one thing to remember is realize that all the past things in your life have ended up just fine and so will the situation as well. You will be taken care of and it will work out. You will get to enjoy your time and life as it is today, and you will feel so much better about what you’ve got to do.
That’s my recommendation to do for you, for me, for all of us. Never experience this type of worry. You don’t need it. You can do without it, and you can live happily from now on, and I wish this for you.

Today, I would like to discuss about personality development. Each and every man possesses many character traits as we know and each trait is very different and distant from the others.
One type of man for instance is angry constantly. In contrast, there’s the calm individual who is never moved to anger or if at all, he will be slightly angry, perhaps once during many years. Then there’s also the prideful man and the one who is exceptionally humble. There’s the man ruled by his appetites. He will never be satisfied for pursuing his desires, and conversely, the very pure of heart who does not desire even the little that the body needs. There's also the greedy man who cannot be satisfied with all the money in the world. As it says in the proverb, a “lover of money never has his fill of money.”
In contrast however, there is the man who puts a check on himself. He is satisfied with even a little which is not enough for his needs and he needs not bother to pursue and attain what he lacks, but he feels fine with that. There is also the miser, he torments himself with hunger and he gathers all his possessions close to himself. Whenever he spends a penny of his own, he does so with great pain. Conversely, there is the spendthrift who consciously wastes his whole entire fortune.
All of the traits fall at the same pattern of contrast. For example, the overly elated and the depressed, the stingy and the free-handed, the cruel and the soft-hearted, the coward and the rash, and the like.
Between each trait and the contrasting traits of the other extreme, there are intermediate points each distance from the other. Now, you’ll note that it is interesting that with regards to all the traits, a man has some, from the beginning of his conception, in accordance with his nature, some are appropriate to a person’s nature and will therefore be acquired more easily than others. Some traits, he doesn’t have from birth. He may have learned them from others: parents, siblings, teachers, peers, many other ways, or they would turn to them on his own.
Also, this may have been some that have come to him as a result of his own thoughts or because he heard that this was the proper trait for him, and therefore, he tried very hard to attain that trait, so he accustomed himself to it and until it became a big part of himself.
You see, the two extremes of each trait which are at a distance from one another do not reflect by any means a proper path. No. It’s not fitting that a man should behave in accordance with these extremes or teach them to himself. It’s not what we need, it’s not what you want. If he finds that his nature leans towards one of the extremes or that he adapted himself to it or if he’s learned one of the extremes and he acts accordingly, he should bring himself back to what is proper.
The straight path is what involves discovering the midpoint. The midpoint temperament of each and every trait that a man possesses. This refers to the trait which is equidistant from either of the extremes without being too close to either of them and that’s the way a person should live, and that’s what I wish for you, because I know you deserve it.

I read recently that a Harvard University study, found that exposure to blue light which is the light produced by the cell phone, can suppress melatonin and also, it can even shift your circadian rhythm.
Now, the circadian rhythm is roughly a 24-hour cycle in the physiological processes of living beings, including the plants, animals, and even the cyanobacteria. In order to sleep peacefully at night, a person should make sure that they turn off their cell phone or put it in a night shift mode, basically.
What do you do when you want to go to sleep at night? How do you wind down from your day? Well, studies have shown that the best time to go to sleep is between 8 P.M. and midnight. Those are the good hours. By the end of the day, you should have a routine. A routine that helps you calm down and wind down. The brain cells and the iPhones also have low energy and they are slower and they feel overused. If this is how your day ends, then you should develop a new process by which your night routine helps you wind down and get ready to go to sleep.
Here’s some recommendation. First, you can get cozy, make yourself comfortable, you can wear a uniform – pajamas or whatever you’re comfortable with, something that helps you feel more at ease.
There is a rule, interestingly enough, that I have in my own life. I have a rule that I never take anything stressful into my bedroom, and I refuse to read anything of that kind of stress-bringing into my life, certainly not at night. Another one is meditation, prayers. It is a form of not only relaxation but it deepens your soul and it helps you find a way into an avenue that didn’t exist during the day.
Some people also make sure that before they go to sleep, if they have a partner that they live with, to always be sure to wish them a good night and end on a good note. My father, bless his soul, used to say to me, never go to bed angry at anyone. If need be, ask for forgiveness and make-up.
By the time you’re ready to go to sleep, by the time you’re ready to go to bed, your winding down has made sense and is now more comfortable for you. You found a zone in your life where you can actually now release all that energy and be ready to wake up the next morning for a great day, a strong day, and certainly a successful day, and I wish the best for you every single day.

Have you noticed that everything is moving faster and faster around you?
In everything that we do, everything around us, the world is moving faster. The development of technology in the last few years, has brought an explosion, a cataclysmic change in everything that we do and we’re all trying to keep up. Never before has there been a greater need and necessity for us to understand the obligation to slow down and appreciate what we have.
Now, we can learn to harness the power of patience and understanding, the need for what we do in all of our lives. That’s a combination of wanting to, motivation of doing it, an awareness of paying attention to our inner landscape of who we are and what we want, and practicing, a cultivation of getting what we need to do. We can do it because as human beings, we have the power to control what we need in this world, and how we live our lives. It is such a critical component of what we do. We’ve done this, as a matter of fact. How else did we get through learning to work on our jobs, going through school, learning to develop relationships, learning to love certain things and walk away from others? We’re not just always aware of what happens. We’ve learned it.
The most important thing to know is that we have to do something about it, and not just something that stays there and it does what it wants, at its own time. Time is very important and life is not just a passing of time. Life is a collection of experiences, their intensity, and their frequency. What we need to do is to become more patient, more understanding, and take time in what we do, using our own stories to develop ideas that have been there for centuries of wisdom passed on to us. It comes from the quest to live a happy life, a meaningful life, and a passion to live peacefully.

There is a concept in life which brings peace to your heart and your mind. There is a word also that is associated with that, it is called serenity. Now, it is interesting that in the word serenity, there is another concept an attribute that characterizes what serenity is, and that concept is called patience. To have the patience to do what you need to do. Patience gives you calmness of the spirit, your own spirit. With patience, at any given time your inner experience is more like a still pond rather than raging rivers. Things can be quite complicated at times. But with patience, true serenity, you are able to stay calm on the inside no matter what is happening on the outside. There's a certain composure, peace of mind, a stillness, a tranquility. There is calmness. You trust, if you reach that level, in your capacity to deal with whatever comes your way. And whatever the issue is, you can overcome it.
There's yet another synonym for the word patience, interestingly enough; and it's self-possession. Isn’t that interesting? With patience, it means, that you're in charge of yourself. It's self-possessing of your own being. It gives you the ability to put up, in a gracious way, any fight that you wish, against obstacles that come your way, any challenges. And it does it with courage and strength, with optimism and you can at any given time overcome all these obstacles. By having patience, you will create this true sense of serenity. I strongly suggest that you learn how to develop peace of mind and peace of heart, not only for yourself but for all those around you; something which many people will cherish. Being around a person who has calmness of the spirit or peace in their heart, makes you feel better. It's quite amazing, whenever I meet someone who has this calmness, I myself, walk away feeling better about myself and about them.
Why not try to develop this calmness in your heart? You can do it. It may take steps, it may take nurturing, it may take time, it might even take for you to learn some developmental skills, but eventually you'll come to it, and then there are no more limitations. It will give you the emotional resilience that you hope for. It will respond with kindness and you will feel the compassion of the world wherever you are, and I wish that for you from the bottom of my heart.

Are you facing a challenge that you think you cannot overcome? Are you looking at things in a way that you believe you’ve hit a wall and you can’t do more than that?
Now, you know you have a background that can help you overcome these challenges. If you look back in your life, have you not been able to overcome past challenges? What makes you think that this one is different? Think about that for a moment.
If anyone wishes to attain any worthwhile objective, the road is not an easy one and one must be prepared to make certain sacrifices. As a matter of fact, the more ambitious and worthy the objective, the greater must be the effort and sacrifice which in themselves is a criteria as to how important the objective is.
You have to understand this concept because every challenge can be overcome. Know that a person does not value highly things which he or she obtains easily and without sacrifice. That’s only through facing up to a challenge and overcoming difficulties that the best qualities and capacities of a person are brought to the fore. To be sure, as a matter of fact, a person may experience a sense of satisfaction at obtaining something easily, but this feeling cannot be lasting because the real satisfaction comes from hard-earned accomplishment. And you can do it. So face the challenge and overcome it because you deserve to.

Every human being has within them, two voices. One to help them grow and become better, and the other one to suppress them and to hold them back. Those two voices are there continuously trying to take over and decide which one is going to win. Now, the negative one, the evil inclination, you might want to call evil impulse or the one drawing the person down will try to deceive you. It’s going to tell you that you’ve committed a major problem or a major transgression, when really all you’ve done is a small neglect of an extra detail or perhaps not even a transgression. What is its intent? To get you to be sad or miserable and make other mistakes, and it’s amazing how it draws the person down.
What you need to do, is you need to be wise and you need to overcome that, talk back to that impulse and say:
“I’m not going to pay attention to this extra detail that you’re talking about. I know your intent; you want to stop me from being the best that I can be. I know that you’re speaking lies and if there is a bit of problems in what I’ve done, I know that these technicalities won’t stop me, and you’re trying to manipulate me into a service which I don’t want. I’m going to be joyful. After all, I’m doing this for my own benefit, and I know I can do it.”
Talk yourself out of it. Better be smart than fall into the sadness that will take you apart and make you do things you’re not supposed to do. Once you ignore this negative force, this negative voice, and you know that you can do what you wish, this is now the beginning in the first principle or being all that you can be. You’ve got to starve your fears, and feed your dreams. You must see yourself greater than you, are and always aspire to greater and better concepts. And today, you’re a different person. And if you made a mistake, don’t let it stand in your way; it was just a mistake.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 956 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What are the character traits that a person should train himself to follow? It’s quite interesting.
You see, people have different natural traits. Some men are irritable and they’re prone to anger. Others, they’re stable and they never become angry or they are rarely provoked to anger, only once every few years. Some people are very proud, while others are humble. Some are controlled by desire, and they will never be satisfied in their search for pleasure; yet, others have pure hearts and they will not desire even their basic necessities.
It says also that some are greedy, and they will not be satisfied with all the money in the world. As it says, one who loves money, will never be satisfied with money. Others, seek a little, a small amount, less than required for their needs is enough for them, and they will not go out to seek to earn their sustenance. There are miserly people who starve themselves in order to save whatever they have to spend for their food and it’s done in a begrudgingly way. Others spend their money lavishly, and the same applies with regard to other traits. There are those who are light hearted and those who are melancholy, hard-hearted and easygoing, cruel and merciful, timid and courageous.
The truth is, the good and proper path which a person should train himself to follow is the middle way. The middle way is the right way. A person should not desire anything except those things which the body truly needs and cannot exist without, and that’s what is the middle way. Similarly, a person should not be involved in the business only to the extent that is necessary to provide for his immediate necessities. He should not also be overly tight-fisted or overly generous, rather he should give to everyone according to his means. And he should lend an appropriate money to those who need who don’t have. He should not be overly joyous or light-hearted, nor sad and melancholy, rather he should always be happy, gentle, and friendly. The same applies with other traits. A person should always follow the middle path, and that’s considered a wise person. There are some things we don’t need in this world. Pride, for instance, an extremely wicked quality, and a man is truly forbidden to do that. To train themselves to be humble is highly susceptible to goodness. How can one train himself to be humble? One should always speak gently and should have his heart towards the heavens, and they should regard everyone else greater than themselves. That is the middle path and that is what you should follow.

There are times when you experience fear and it could be scary but then as it passes, you realize that it was nothing. So you ask the question, “Why did this happen? Why did I have to go through this experience?”
Now, you can use your mind and shape your fears if you want to. You have the opportunity to train your emotion so that when you can and you wish to, the fear itself becomes controllable, and when it’s necessary, you have the opportunity to go through the exercise of fear, but knowing how to handle it.
Now, there is a difference between a disposition and a mood. You see, a disposition is either the encouragement of the mind, or the discouragement of the mind. So what does that mean? Let me explain. There’s difference between sadness and joy. Sadness in a mood has no movement. When you’re sad, you can’t feel emotion. You’re sad and it is the disposition that prevents emotion. When a person is really sad, you can’t think; you don’t even care, so sadness is an absence of emotion. Joy on the other hand, is a mood that you’re in. It’s not outside of you. It describes the state that you’re in now. It’s open and the mind becomes more receptive. Sadness is like walking into a dark room, and in this dark room, you don’t know what to do. Now, we don’t use the darkness, and to get rid of it, all you have to do is turn on the light, and the darkness is dispelled, it’s gone. So sadness is the absence of joy or the absence of light.
So now that you understand this, realize that sadness, you do nothing. It’s stagnation and you could not serve any purpose. There is a void. With joy, however, you can do anything. There’s movement and it’s a normal everyday experience that you can have at all times. So why be stuck in sadness? Replace it with joy and then you can see a different aspect of life. “stagness” stops you. Interesting, isn’t it? See, when you combine the words stagnate and sadness, it’s a made-up word, it’s called “stagness”, although I don’t mean to belittle this concept. What this means is that you can live with joy, you can live with happiness, you can live with greatness, you can live with anything that you wish. You can experience growth, you can experience cultivation, you can experience renovation, you can reinvent yourself to be the person that you wish to be, and never be bothered or never be bogged down. That is the absence of an emotion, not knowing where to go. That’s when fear sets in. Overcome the fear, replace the sadness with joy and you will have a great life. You will have happiness. You will be the person that you wish to be and even this made-up word, “stagness”, won’t exist. After all, it is not even the real world so why not let it go and change it to what you need to have, and be the person that you always wish to be?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 954 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation where you can’t move forward and you don’t want to use the expression, “I promise to do.” You would rather use the expression, “I’ll try to do”, because you’re afraid to commit yourself or you would find it difficult to live up to your promise.
Now, it’s interesting that experience has shown that when a person makes a promise to do something, this very promise gives them the strength to carry it, without hesitation and with greater ease. Whereas, one does not commit herself or herself, promising only to try, or to do one’s best, and when the matter comes up and there’s a temptation not to do it, that person is most likely to fail, saying to themselves that after all, they didn’t “promise to do it.” They only said they would try and therefore, they’re not breaking their word and their conscience doesn’t bother them.
This is what I think, however, you should be determined to observe all the rules that you’ve put in this world for yourself. Not that you’ve made a promise to do so, or give you not only greater strength, but also a peace of mind, as it would eliminate all the doubts and hesitations.
Now, needless to say, things and questions were impossible to carry out. There will be no room for making a promise.
However, in your case, ask yourself the questions. Because if it concerns the practical aspect of things you have to do, the Creator gave you the power and who knows the abilities of the human beings? It is certain however, that the Creator of the world would not have commanded you to do anything which is beyond your power. That’s impossible; and there is no way that this obligation would be incapable to be fulfilled.
So, this is what you need to do. Don’t debate with yourself, rather do the things you have to do with simple faith, and the easier and the more natural life is, and the more harmony and happiness it will bring. The essentials of life is to do it with joy. When you carry it that way, you’ll fulfill all the things you’re supposed to, and every action, every word, every thought which is dedicated towards the enhancement of your life, with the spirit of joy and gladness, and contentment, will bring more light to the world. Not just your world, but the world at large. So be all that you can be, do what you’re supposed to do and don’t debate with yourself about it. You can handle it. And don’t try to do it, don’t think you will or won’t; promise yourself that you will do it, and you'll see, you can overcome it. Nothing will stand in your way. It would not have been given to you if you didn't have the power, the strength, the ability to make it, not only for yourself but for the rest of the world. So enjoy it and make this happen because you’re worth it, and the world deserves the success that you bring.

You know, it is said that there are six doctors in the world that are better than all the other healthcare practitioners you can find. And their names are Sun, Rest, Exercise, Diet, Self-confidence, and Friends.
If you maintain all of them in stages of life with a good relationship, you will enjoy a healthy life. It’s interesting, isn’t it? You see, it says that we are “tourists” and the Creator of the world is the “travel agent”. He has already fixed all the routes and made all the reservations to take us to our destination.
There’s a lot of difference between a human being and being human but a few understand the difference; it’s a shame. If you think about this, what you have to do, is the ones who love you, will never leave you; because if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason only, to hold on to.
Life is about health, knowing where you stand. If you walk fast, you walk alone, but if you walk with someone and you walk together, you’ll walk far. If you know what you are doing, if you realize that you are loved when you are born, you will be loved when you die, and in between, you’ll have to manage. Know where you are and who you are, and what you do. You know what the world is all about; you figured it out, but sometimes it gets out of hand or you forget. If you see the moon, you see the beauty of the Creator. If you see the sun, you see the power of the Creator. But what do you see when you look in the mirror? Here is what you should see: the best creation of G-d. This is you, you in your beauty, in your strength. Be the best that you can be.

Relatively speaking, there are two attributes in a person’s mind and heart, and body and soul, and they can be divided into two groups. One is the intellectual power, and the other is the emotional attribute.
You see, the primary difference between intellect and emotion is that feelings are outward, towards others. In order to love, for instance, there needs to be someone to love. Intellect on the other hand exists even without another person. It’s entirely possible to learn something on your own. You could do this and no matter what.
In general, however, our ego or self-awareness and arrogance are mostly found in the heart and in the emotions, and far less in the intellect. The intellect typically is more objective and it tends to be further removed from self-interest. This is, of course, relatively speaking. Now, in order for us to understand and reach a level where we aren’t aware of our own existence, the point where we ourselves, our true deep part of ours return to its roots, it’s the case when we restore our being to our innate being. This is where we feel who we are. This is what we are. It’s important to understand that difference. It’s important to know, and realize.

What is the purpose of accumulating money, purpose of wealth? It’s an interesting concept but let me perhaps share an idea with you. The purpose of wealth is so that we can help some conditions be treated appropriately, if the person for instance is not well. We can also help people who don’t have. We can also help build certain things: schools, hospitals, highways. We can build new things to help people. Purpose of wealth is so widely varied.
But there is another concept about the purpose of wealth; and that is so that the fruits of the labor that you have done is so that you can benefit the rest of the world. So that you have an idea of what was given to you and what you should do with it. To take this wealth, and not necessarily money, because wealth could be in your knowledge, in your talents, in your skills, in your kindness, whatever it is that you’ve been given, that’s wealth, that’s the definition of true wealth. Give it and share it with others, make others feel good, use those talents all the time. Now, you might say, “Why should I? They’re mine,” but that’s the purpose of wealth. That’s the great understanding of why you were given these things; for you to share and you to help others.
Don't ever keep it to yourselves; that’s defeating the purpose of why it was given to you.

So you have made a mistake, something which you wish you hadn't done. It's there, it's clear. Now, you're trying to figure out how to make up how to change how to return to where you were before that mistake.
Personal interest should not be the main motivating factor in feeling regret over the past and making a firm commitment to change, commitment to change even though most people are generally interested in enjoying the goodness of knowing they've been forgiven. Returning means, letting go of the past. And instead of the part of properly and truly changing ourselves, and understanding that it's not all about me, making a mistake and doing something which is inappropriate is not just a personal problem and it doesn’t just concern our own individual situation, it's much deeper than that. It's about fixing the rest of the world and when you make a mistake and things have been disconnected, expressing your regret has a much larger connotation and it reaches passages in worlds way beyond what you think, and we have to find a way to rectify it. When a person is truly remorseful about something they've done which was not good, something which is now in the past, the subsequent desire at that moment is immense. It forms a new path, a new intensity. It’s an incredible insight and you're highly motivated with a strong desire to change some of those things and restore the damage, connection or things that you have done which was inappropriate.
So if you’ve made a mistake, return to where you were and forget about the rest. Use this is an incentive and an impetus to become better. From now on promise yourself you will never do that again, that’s all it takes. And return to where you were and enjoy life because that's what it's meant to be, a life of struggle but of success; of ascension but of change; a life of goodness and the end result is what matters. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy it because you deserve it.

Sometimes you are in the relationship, or it could be a parent, a friend, or someone that you are perhaps related to, and they tell you that they “need space”. Now, you could look at this as a negative, something which is contradicting to what you would like. But all the person saying, is give me space, so I can grow, so I can see, so I can feel. We don't quite know the reason for that need. Obviously, the person who needs that space, they understand it. We also don’t quite always realize that the need for that space, is so that they can blossom, become better, and be a better friend, or person towards you. If someone needs their space, give it to them, don’t hold it back. Don’t think that this is about you or this has anything to do with who you are or what you've done.
Now it’s possible that you may have contributed to the other person needing their space, but at that moment, when they need their space, just give it to them; walk away, stay away. Just be there.
They'll come back and when they do, you'll see that you benefit from it and they are much better about it. Needing their space, doesn't mean that anything is necessarily wrong. Human beings are so complex, made up of so many different parts, the emotions, the feelings life experiences, but nothing to do sometimes with what is understandable. Human beings are people who because of life’s experiences and things that happen in their world, often no one can understand the other person's feelings so give the space to anyone who needs it.

Every day we encounter people with whom we exchange ideas, concepts and sometimes we help them, sometimes we help ourselves with different things that we speak about. When speaking with others, you must be very careful and take into account how they will interpret our words, ensuring that our intentions are not to be misinterpreted. You have to say words that matter so that the words as it says that “words that come from the heart, penetrate the other person's heart”. You have to speak carefully using words which are appropriate and uplifting, inspiring, often motivating. By speaking to someone else you not only create an energy about what you're saying, but you're also taking that person from one level in their life to another. You're affecting them with what you're saying, and you also affecting the environment where they are standing at this time. You have to pay close attention to that. Words are very powerful. Words can either make up a person and really take them to the highest lifestyle that they can live with, or the opposite. Think about what you're doing. Think about what you're saying.
It is critical that you use words that matter. You will change the world and everyone around you.

Each passing day brings within itself a certain amount of energy. At the same time there are fears and choice. We're not too sure where the darkness comes from sometimes, or the storms of life feel as though they are closing in. There's a light that we cannot see and instead of illuminating our world, we feel lost. You know that part of your being that says: “I can't do it”, “I can't overcome it”, “I'm scared”, or “I am way too deep into this, what should I do?” We're tempted to give up. We feel as though the ocean has overwhelmed us and we are sinking deep into its abyss. We can't get out. We don't see, beauty, order, abundance. We see problems, we see challenges, we see nothing more than crying over things that we cannot do. And we are missing, we're not happy.
Why not take each passing day as its own day? Why not look at every day as an opportunity to make a change? Let the gladness was away all these disappointments that you've seen, and dissolve every single sorrow into the love that you have for your life. Don't attempt to change, make the change. Don't hold back, move forward. Don't look at things as obstacles, look at them as an opportunity for you to change. And you can do this with triumph. You can do it with abundance and you'll be blessed with good things.
Here's a heartfelt wish that I have for you. I wish for you to see the goodness in everything and the ability to overcome all the challenges and see the opportunity in every obstacle. This is what I wish for you. I have been there myself. And you know all of us experience times that are difficult. But with each passing day, we are giving an opportunity to look at things in a different way. That's the reason for the date to end and a new one to begin; music, laughter, love, goodness, sunshine, it is all there to help us see the difference. We can make every doubt and fear be replaced by deep abiding trust, and we can see the evidence in a higher power, something that's all around us. There is only darkness to creating yourself. And this storm that you think is in your life right now, let it become the elimination of a beginning of a new day, something you would except unconditionally. And in return, you will be protected in the cradle of the arms of goodness, and I wish the best for you because you deserve it.

I would like to speak with you today about two fascinating organs in our body: the heart and the brain. They both have an influence on the body. Interestingly enough they're both required for a healthy body and the body cannot live without either one of them.
The heart is always pumping. It doesn't stop ever. It is excited and it is in a perpetual state of excitement, and when person gets excited, the heart races even more. It is associated, interestingly enough, with emotions. Yet, it is the softest part of the body; It doesn't even have a bone. It is a powerful muscle, but it pumps continuously. The blood itself makes it so that as it pumps continuously, the heart becomes the weakest part of the body because of that work that it has to exert. These two organs are very different and they are the fundamental difference in the relationship within the body the brain itself is calm, it has very cold concept to itself. The heart doesn't do any of the business, because its entire identity is giving life and supporting all the other limbs in the body, because, obviously, the limbs need blood. The limbs have at all times that need, and the blood that is pumped through the heart contributes to their well-being. Each functions of the body is given to certain parts like, the hands, the feet, the liver, the kidneys, they all have their own functions, digesting food pumping blood, all these things are separate functions for separate parts of the body. But heart, is the servant to them all; it is always serving. It has no moment for itself. It doesn't go on vacation, it’s always giving.
The brain on the other hand, is influential throughout the entire body but from a distance. It sits on top of the head and it is being very cool about it. The brain has an identity of its own, because the brain is concerned about ideas, knowing, understanding all of these functions. One of the functions is the brain is to control the body, but it does it from a distance; it sits on the top of the head; from up there, it is calm and it has every control about it, but it is withdrawn and involved not like the heart. The King of the world, the Creator of the world pretty much operates this way. It is so far removed, yet so close. And like a kingdom of the world, it has nothing of its own without the power that we are giving. We, the people, are excited for the emotions. We make things happen in the world when is happening in the world these two concepts are the value of the world and what becomes of us, it also shows the different personalities between people.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 945 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Today, I would like to share with you a concept which is monumental. You see when you do not fulfill your mission in this world, it's not just a personal loss, it's a global one. The whole world misses out. It's not just you! The whole world, everyone in this world, and everything; meaning the inanimate, the vegetation, the animal kingdom and even the human species; all creations in the world don't benefit, because you didn't fulfill your mission. Now you might ask, what is my mission? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do ?
First, you have to refine the environment to where you are by bringing light to the world, being kind, sharing, helping…
Second, everything that you do, should have a purpose and a reason. It should be done with integrity and honesty.
Third, what you should do on a daily basis, should benefit others more than benefiting you. It's not just you, it's about the world. You will be taking care of. Help others get what they need, and you'll have everything you want. Life is about making this world a better place to be, so that the world can have its ultimate mission fulfilled. It's not just you.
So remember, that when you don't fulfill your mission, or any part of your mission in the world at any given time, it's just not something that you can think of as a personal loss, it's a global concept. The whole world is missing out. That is so dramatic. This is something of cataclysmic expansion, a magnitude beyond imagination. You have within your hands the power to change not just yourself and everything around you, but the whole world. So don't miss out. Don't waste time, don't let things go by, don't consider things light and unimportant. Everything and everyone matters. Wherever you are, be all that you can be; whatever you do, do the most of what you've got. Whomever you meet, given them everything that is within your power and reach the highest levels of contentment. Be whom you were designed to be, and change the world for a better place to be for every one of us to live. Don't do it for me or you; do it because it's the right thing to do for the whole world. And if there is bad out there, don't let it come from you. Let the bad come from others. You concentrate on the good, and everything will fall in place. I want to thank you in advance for contributing to making this world a better place.

I you want to make changes in your life and dramatic changes, things that as they say thinking “out of the box”, in this concept is “breaking out-of-the-box”, how do you get out from under? From where you are?
There are four things which I think you need to pay close attention to.
One concept, is the concept of pessimism. This is a disease that takes your vision and changes it, and it cannot be corrected with just putting on new glasses. Pessimism is something which you have inside of you and eats you alive. Pessimism, will destroy everything about you. It will destroy, what you see, what you think, what you want, what you can dream of.
The second concept is indecision. It's a mental paralysis, something that stops you, something that holds you back from wanting to grow and going where you wish to go.
The third is doubt. Oh goodness, doubt is all kinds of things that could be worse, and things that could be better, and we're not sure, we're doubting everything. Why would you want to live that way?
The last one is indifference. Some people are afraid to take a stand, and they fear that they're going to be judged, or worse yet that they're going to make a mistake.
Four concepts: pessimism, indecision, doubt and indifference. These issues are going to hold you back and you'll never be able to live a free life.
Why not take them, and “break out-of-the-box”, breakthrough, become the person that you wish to. See life as it is, so much greater than your eyes can accomplish or can even fathom.
One thing is for sure, you're never given a test that you cannot overcome; you’re never put in a situation, that you cannot succeed, ever! With remembering this, these concepts about indecision or doubt, they have nothing to do in your life, and should not have any particular power over you. Same thing when it comes to pessimism. Why see things darker than they are? Why put them in the light that hurts you? Why take away the opportunities you have and seen them in a negative light, in a negative fashion?
Change your world. Breakthrough. Become the person that you were designed to be. Use all the strength that you were given and grow. Change, live happy, live beautifully, and design for yourself the lifestyle that you wish to have. It is all within your power.
I wish that for you.

I would like to share with you a thought about a concept of a chance of a lifetime. You see, it is a good thing to be thankful for what you have in life and what you have accomplished. But open your eyes to the larger picture.
If we are to appreciate the fruits of life we must first appreciate the tree that bears the fruit; this is the birth itself.
Birth is the beginning of a person or anything for that matter. A birthday is very special, because it is window to the chance of a lifetime. The chance to fulfill your unique mission. So, a birthday is a momentous occasion, and it is to be commemorated just as the nation commemorates its birth or as an nonprofit organization that celebrates its founding. However it is much more than an occasion to receive gifts. It is a chance to remember, that the day that a major event occurred, and to celebrate and give thanks and to reflect upon how well we are fulfilling our calling; and it doesn't have to be just on your birthday. As a matter fact, it could just be today.
Today, you could take this opportunity to change the world, and change yourself; not what is around you or outside of you but what's inside of you by changing and becoming the person you truly were designed to be, and the person you wish to be.
This is the time that you can make this day a different day, a better day. This is the chance of a lifetime. Why not take the opportunity and change everything around. It is an opportunity for you to rethink your life. How great is the disparity between the things that you've accomplished and the things that you can accomplish, now.
How much time are you spending properly and being involved in to things which are, better, greater? How can you strengthen the thread that connects your outer life to your inner life?
A birthday can teach you the concept of rebirth. However you don't have to wait until that birthday, to make those changes. It's a new beginning today, and you can change your life and be different; the choice is yours. I suggest you make the change now, and change your life and make dramatic change.

I would like to discuss with you something that can help you make a dramatic change in your life. There are three concepts.
The first is about complaining. By complaining, you should know that anyone who hangs around with you, about you, or around you, don’t enjoy listening to someone who’s complaining. Complaining is really a waste of time, if you think about it. People who complain will always find new things for which they might complain about, and it doesn’t end. So complaining is something you should stop if you want to make dramatic changes in your life.
Another one is, overcautious. Overcautious is an approach to life which is too dramatic and that will not let you do anything to move forward. Cautious is good; it is responsible. Overcautious means that you are frozen, that you can’t get things done any better.
The last one on our list is about worrying. Worrying is something which is so detrimental to you. If you worry about everything that comes down your road, those things that you see, you’ll never want to do anything in life. Worrying about what could happen, what might happen, what did happen. Worrying doesn’t help you. It’s an infection which could become a disease if you don’t take care of it.
I strongly suggest to get rid of those three concepts: complaining, overcautious, and worrying. You don’t need them in your life and it could make some dramatic changes.

If you want to live a good life, a unique life, you have to be able to create your own path and let other people enjoy it when you’re gone or even while you’re still here. Reliving the past is the concept of the value of stories. So many of our parents, our siblings, our friends, and even our acquaintances often relive their stories and tell us about their experiences. Whatever the span of your life is, in order for it to be real, to be the best, you want to fill it up with all kinds of good experiences and the intensities that you felt when you were there. By reliving the past, you’re able to bring back stories of things that have affected other people and can now affect not only just your life but others’.
Life is not just about watching a clock ticking away slowly to the next minute and the next minute. That’s not what life is all about. At times, you have to realize that life is a collection of so many different experiences that we’ve gone through and the intensity by which these experiences affected us. By reliving your past, you will be able to, at times, not just ignore the things that you could not do but appreciate what you did get done. Sometimes, you may say, “I wasn’t able to do this,” and “I wasn’t able to do that,” ignore that, let it go. This will create problems that you don’t need. The subject itself is not what matters. What matters is the person that you have “become” today and the person you promise to be tomorrow. That’s what life is all about.
The reason why we use the concept of stories or experiences that were from the past, is so that we become better, greater. You want to be a different person today than you were yesterday at a higher level, and by doing that, you can change the world.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 940 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The mission that we have in this world, is to be a positive influence and an inspiration to others and this will help everyone around us. Now, as we go along the way in our life, there are typically three types of different people that we encounter that may present a challenge in the success of our work. One type is a person who’s deeply entrenched in the passions of this world. They’re so involved in his or her lifestyle, that it seems impossible to break through; to even begin a conversation that would be taken seriously about any positive change. What is there to say to such a person?
There’s a second person who is devoid of basic values. For instance, speaking about hard work to someone who has an attitude of being entitled to receive perhaps benefits for free and therefore, they have absolutely no interest or desire to work. This person may say, “Why should I work if I can make more receiving unemployment or disability?” Now, I ask you, how far can you get convincing this person, that indeed, it’s a much greater value to work for your livelihood? Obviously, he or she is oblivious to any of your concerns and so too in any other ethical values. He just doesn’t accept these premises. What can you say?
Then there’s also a third type of person, the one who is not familiar with what greatness and faith in the Creator is all about. He may be cultured, he may even have ethics and fundamental concepts in his life, but he was neither taught about the greatness of the world or the beauty of the Creator. Now, what can you do about these people?
You see, we are obligated to tell others of the things that we have learned and the things that we can help them with. We shouldn’t be dissuaded by the challenges and we should do our best in all situations regardless of the people we meet. With just a few good words that we can share, we can have a great and lasting effect on everyone we meet. If we view ourselves capable of inspiring not because of ourselves but because of what we, in this case, have been given, we’ll look to see what we can do to help.
There is no purpose in looking down upon people or their behavior and then speaking to our friends about it. We should never look down upon the behavior of others. The only time we look down upon the behavior of others is if we are busy lifting them up. This way, we will reveal in them the goodness and the spark of greatness that is inherent in each individual.
That is a lifestyle of unique concern and a place for everyone of us to have, and that’s the true way to live.

I know that many of you are concerned at times, about things that have happened to you or things that are happening in your life. You are angry about some of the harm that’s being done to you, either at a professional level or a conceptual level. But it is foolish and unproductive to be angry with those who appear to be harming you. You see, although these people maybe indeed guilty for their actions, they cannot do anything that G-d, the Creator of the world, does not will. So what this means is that, everything that happens to you has a reason, has a source, so it is foolish to be angry. It is wasted energy. It doesn’t mean you don’t fight or defend yourself, that you have to do- you have to correct the situation; but to be angry, no, that is unnecessary. That is not what this is all about.
The reason why something happens to you, and it appears to be so negative and harmful, even perhaps dangerous, is because it has a deep lesson in it for you, and you have been given the ability, the strength, and the power to overcome it. What you will do with that information, that’s up to you. What will come out of that exercise, it depends on your attitude and your reaction. However, the fact that it happened, that you have no control over, it’s there, and I speak from experience, I know. So, it is foolish and unproductive to be angry. Don't be angry at that. You don’t need to waste your energy. Think of things in a better way and you will be able to overcome them.

There are many species of animals that were created in the world quite interestingly enough, such a varied amount that is beyond imagination. I don’t even believe that until today, we know every single species of animal that exist in the world. There are animals actually that were created with protection around themselves and they live in different parts of the world. If they want to eat something or they want to go for a stroll, they are free to do so and they are continuously protected.
There is yet another animal, another creature and that’s the eagle. It’s a different animal. It’s actually a big bird. Now, this bird can soar above and beyond the clouds. It’s part of the hawk family and it’s strong, it is big, powerful, and it can fly beyond notices. Not only that, it has an extremely accurate vision. And the sky is its limits. It could do whatever it wants yet it chooses to build its house in the highest mountains that exists even though on those mountains, there could be storms and dangers. This is where it chooses to build its home, and for food, it can travel for miles and miles. It has no fear. It is quite interesting.
Here’s something else which is quite amazing. When it travels, it carries its child or its offspring on its back so that if it gets attacked, the eagle will take the arrow first while protecting its young. The eagle is the emblem of the United States of America.
This is how your life should be. You could soar above the clouds and you can be the best that you can be because you deserve it; and you could be like the eagle, or you could choose to be less than the eagle. I suggest you be the best of all.

There are many things that we carry in our lives. Some things are physical, some things are spiritual, and others are psychological, whether in our mind or in our pockets.
What happens in the world, happens to anyone. It’s not specific just to you. Most of us go through life experiencing ups and downs. However, the parts that are major in your life, the parts of your future, are literally things that you can change at any time. They are in your hands.
You could do what you want with it and you have the option. It’s not really those things that determine the world that you have control about. It’s what you have in your hand and that's an authentic key. The key that opens up all the doors of opportunities, to let you achieve anything that you wish. You can be as happy as you wish, right now, starting this moment, and you don’t have to change people around. You don’t have to change anyone out there, you don’t even have to change what’s around you. You first have to change yourself, what’s inside of you. You have to become a better person. Now, you may say, I think I’m already very good. Well, that’s great, then take with you’ve got and change it for even better. If you want more wealth, or happiness, whatever it is that you wish, you can have it.

There’s a story told about a musician who came to a city and went to the city’s center square. Once there, he started playing his instrument. It was such a beautiful melody, such a beautiful music. It was so enchanting that the people who gathered around to listen were mesmerized. So much so, that they became enthralled into that music and they started dancing.
Now, a while later, a man who was walking by couldn’t understand what was going on and why these people were dancing in the middle of the city square. He couldn’t fathom in his mind what was going on. You see, the reason was that the man was deaf and therefore, he couldn’t hear.
This is representative of what our life is at times. Even though there is beauty out there, there is goodness and joy and happiness, we can’t hear the music. We become death to life and we can’t hear what the goodness is or how happy we should be. We selectively block ourselves and build a wall around us. Sometimes this wall of protection is also a wall of separation. We keep all the goodness out. In an attempt to make sure that we are secured in our own lives, we block off all the goodness that there is out there.
Why not take away the ear plugs because I know, you and I are not deaf? We have been given the opportunity by G-d to hear and even if a person couldn’t hear, they have the choice to imagine it.
So when you see goodness and joy, and happiness, why not join in? Why not be part of it? And regardless of what is going on in your life today, why not open up and see the beauty in the world? Listen to the birds chirping and see the color of the blue sky which is an infinite blue which cannot be duplicated not its strength or its depth. Why not enjoy the soft kindness that permeates our world on a daily basis? Why not take the time and admire, and appreciate everything that we have? And if you were taken to “that” place and you saw it, enjoy it. Life is an adventure in goodness. The miracle is not to finish, the miracle is having the ability to hear and to know. And when you celebrate it, your face will show it and so will the world around you. Enjoy it.

I have a suggestion for you and that is to understand and believe the power of resolution.
Now, what does resolution mean? You could say that it is something that you decide from now on will happen.
Here is a simple explanation perhaps that you might accept: that is, that resolution means “to promise yourself that you will never give up”. Once you understand this concept, you need to resolve at all times about the things that are important to you. The values that you hold dear, the things that you want to become, places you want to see, things you want to say, deeds you would like to accomplish. Wherever you may be, the power of resolution is taking the opportunity to resolve and promise yourself that you will be the best at everything that you do, and that you will get these things done. Never changing your values, never, under any circumstances, letting obstacles or challenges affront what do you have. The core values, the fundamental concepts that you know are truth and good, and honest; this is the integrity of your character. This is the person that you are. I strongly suggest that you resolve never to let these changes, be affected, or be tampered with. It represents the person that you need to be, and it should be this way at all times. And once you resolve that, not only will you always be proud of your action, but your self-worth will stand by you and give you tremendous courage.
This is the opportunity that you will have to keep on going and doing more than you can always, affecting the world, and changing it to become even better than it is. The power of resolution is something that is given to each and every human being. Not everyone uses it, and not everyone believes in it, but you should because I know you can do it.

When the first pilgrims came to this land from many parts of the world, and they arrived there, it was in most places, described as a desert. Now, a desert has two features. One, is no one can live there; and second, nothing can grow there. There is nothing positive there because of the type of living that it requires. Yet the pilgrims knew it and they decided to change this. Wherever they settled, they converted that part of the desert and made them into cities, households and population where even plants started growing, and they converted the physical desert into physical cities, a place where they could live with their families.
Now, the same lesson should be applied to when we travel. When you go places and you travel, and you're away from home, even if it's only for a day, you may feel as though you're really traveling and it's not that important to pay attention to what you do. You might say to yourself, I'm neither here nor there, why should I pay attention to what I do or how I act? I'm on the road, just leave me alone. Why should we bother? It's just for a day or two. It's a temporary place, it's not permanent.
Comes this concept that lets us know that this is not correct. You have to illuminate the world wherever you are. When you travel, you must remember this lesson: that everything is by Divine Providence.
If you end up somewhere, even for one day, for a moment, or overnight, it's because you were meant to be there in that specific place and time, and your whole life, wherever you are, must be to illuminate the world, whether you’re at home, or a campground, a hotel, airport, wherever you are, you are to illuminate your world and make the place a good place, a holy place. Whatever you do, act properly; use your talents, your knowledge, your wisdom, and all the things you know. Even though this is not your home, make that temporary stay and opportunity for you to illuminate that part of the world, an opportunity for you to make that place so much better than it is, and if it is great when you get there, make it even greater, because you are a remarkable person and you have the talent, the ability, the strength, the wisdom, the knowledge, and the possibility to do so.
So, be careful that when you travel, you don’t miss these opportunities to change yourself. Be the best that you can be and illuminate the world for the sake of everyone around you, including yourself.

It is late at night and I am feeling nostalgic. I had a busy day today between the texts and the emails, and the videos, and conferences, and I just thought to stop and think, what was it like when we didn't have all these gadgets? When everything didn't fit into a schedule.
I remember being a young boy who went to camp and just running around, not thinking about the sunscreen and making sure I had a phone, wearing the proper gear and a compass and everything else. We just ran out there in the woods, and when we came back, with our knees scratched up and exhausted from the day of just running around, it was so much fun, so easy. Whenever we returned, it was the best time.
The more you think about life and its simplicity, the more you get to appreciate who you are, what you do, and what really matters. All these toys that we have today, are they really necessary? The iPads and the iPods, and all of these large TVs, what do they bring to our life?
You need to think about this, you need to stop and think. Does it enhance your life? Does it bring beauty to your family and friends? Does it bring you closer? Does it help you become a better person? And I'm not the only one feeling nostalgic, I can tell you that. There are many people out there who often, when they stop and think, they see the reality that all these toys today, may not be the best thing for us.
So you decide; you choose what your life should be, what you should do with your days. But it might be good in the meantime, to stop and think, and take a moment to reanalyze your situation, invigorate your days, and catapult yourself to a different world, to a different arena and say to yourself, “What am I supposed to do with me? What is my purpose on Earth? How can I make myself and the world better? How can I improve? How can I grow? How can I share my talents? How can I contribute? How can I make a difference?” Not with the gadgets, not with the toys, and all this technology, but with your personality, with your smile, with your attitude, with your ambitions, with your strength, with your knowledge, with all the abilities that you have and the gifts you have been given as a human being.
You are unique and no one has what you've got, no one, and that's why you are here.
So use these opportunities to change yourself and change the world, and share with everyone these talents that you've been given because you deserve it and so does the world. And I hope that when you read this podcast, that this nostalgia reaches your heart and you make a difference in the world for our sake and the sake of our future.

I met a person who is blind from birth. I sat next to him and he asked me a few questions about who I am and what I do. It's interesting; although his eyes couldn't see me, I felt as though his soul penetrated my own being. When I was with him, I could feel as though he was entirely there, fully there.
When you are with someone, are you really there? Really with you and the person at that time?
To be there means that your soul and the person's soul with whom you are interacting should be united. When you talk to that person, discuss, exchange, share ideas, concepts, feelings, you’re not thinking about anything else, just that person. This is what it means to be really with you.
If you are speaking to someone you love, be there for them, be completely there. Let everything else come out. Take away any magic that exists out there, any technological wonders and be with them. By being with them, you give up yourself and you can give up yourself in such a way where there will not only benefits, but they will also grow. Make them see themselves greater than they are, so when they walk away from you, they feel uplifted, they feel different, they feel changed from the goodness that you gave them.
It says that words that come from the heart enter the heart. So it is the same with emotions or feelings; share it with them. When you're with someone that you love, show them every part of you, all encapsulated.

Life is very short. Often, we need to be reminded of this. You have to take a moment and realize what is in front of you. Most of us walk around truthfully as if we are sleepwalking. We don't really spend time experiencing the world in the way that is complete or enjoyable. We’re half asleep and we do things in a routine way.
Now, if you strip away all the stuff and you focus on just what's essential and what is so beautiful in life, and you realize that you are going to die and that you can die at any time, then life becomes different.
It becomes meaningful. You have to accept that, and you'll see that things make a difference in your life if you know what it's all about.
We spend so much time thinking of all the things about work and politics, and things that are going on around the world, some things we don't even have control over and we worry about everything. We don't pay much attention to the essentials of life. We're so involved in materialistic things, even though they don't satisfy us. The relationship that we have with the universe around us, we take for granted. Why not take a moment and look outside the window? Look at the tree, how it lives its life to its fullest potential.

I had the beautiful privilege of having my own mother visit me just recently. It was such a pleasure having her around, to be around someone who is wise, calm, and extremely bright. It surprised me how much I learned about her.
As we get older, we understand our parents so much better and we see their wisdom and their deep understanding of life. It's quite interesting, the vision they have of the world. Sometimes, when we have our own personal issue we are experiencing, it is during these good times that we recognize the beauty and the wisdom of our parents.
I ask you, does the moon stop shining because the wolf howls at it? The answer is no. Well, neither should you, no matter what happens out there, you don't stop shining. The world needs your light and your parents have given you the strength, the beauty, the knowledge, and the ability to overcome that. The whole purpose of creation is to transform darkness into light and to burst the bubble of materialism and reveal its infinity within the environment of darkness. If you are experiencing difficulties, think of what your parents taught you; think of how smart they are, and how wise their advice has always been.
And so there I was. She was sitting right next to me and telling me of stories of the past, and it occurred to me the depth of her understanding, knowledge of goodness, life, strength, growth, even though she's not a businesswoman, she's not running a corporation, but at a certain age, they have all the knowledge that it takes to run the world.
So enjoy these moments, these are good times. Enjoy them because there are few and far in between. By having these memories, you can make it better. If you have a parent and they're alive, spend time with them. Spend quality time with your children, with your siblings. There is wisdom to learn wherever you go, and there's greatness in everyone. Don't ever despair, this is what life is all about. It's a matter of seeing the truth, and I am happy that I was able to. I hope the same for you each and every day.

It says that there are four general types of temperaments. The question is, which one best suits you? Who are you in these temperaments?
Let's see. The first one is, “easily angered and easily appeased.”
What that means is that his gain outweighs his loss. He is angry easily, so that means that he's sensitive to his own feelings and therefore, becomes angry at the slightest motion but is also sensitive to others and therefore he's appeased easily.
Then, there is the second kind and that is “slow to anger and slow to be appeased.”
Now, in this case, his loss outweighs his gain because in the second category, that person is not sensitive to others and therefore, they are not appeased easily but at the same time, they are sensitive to their own feelings and therefore, they're not angered easily. They don't get mad so fast.
See, those two types are therefore not considered terribly bad because their arrogance is relatively benign, if you think about it.
There's a third type however, and that's one that is oblivious to these and that person is “slow to anger and easily appeased.” That's a good stock. That's a good way to be because they're oblivious to offenses that are committed against them and they are not easily angered but yet, they are sensitive to the feeling of others and therefore, in this case, they're easily appeased, and that represents the ultimate person of goodness.
Unfortunately, there's also a fourth type and that is the one who is “easily angered and slow to be appeased.” That means that this person is hypersensitive regarding themselves so they get angry right away, and they're also insensitive to others. Therefore, they’re not easily appeased. This represents the height of haughtiness. This is not a good stock.
Who are you in one of these temperaments? Who best suits you? You can choose and you can be whoever you wish. It's a matter of attitude and a matter of learning how to control your emotions and be the best that you can be. I hope you choose the right one for your sake and all those around you.

Are you currently experiencing pain? Are you perhaps facing a challenge or an obstacle that seems to be, at least today, in your eyes, overwhelming? Are you in front of a situation that you just don't know how to resolve?
You see, when we are in such a situation, our vision is limited. We can't see past the pain and the suffering. There doesn't appear to be a reason for the pain. We’re caught in such a narrow passage that, we’re trapped in the moments of pain. However, we can broaden our vision and understand that there is a bigger picture.
We might be in pain but we won't be in anguish, and this will make our day much easier to handle. On a physical level, pain is usually a sign that something is wrong. Pain, however has a purpose, and that is that we should reawaken our will to live. There is also a growing pain, things change: the pain of stretching, of extending, and seen from a broader perspective, pain can help us connect, learn, and grow. This is what it's all about. Our lives might seem difficult and at times as though we are suffocating, the tightening intensifies, what should we do? But by knowing that there is an ultimate good to that, and that everything has a purpose rooted in goodness, it results in a new life, a new hope, a continuation, and a connection to our inner being.
At any time, we have the choice to design a happy path and live the ultimate life that we were given or to live less than we were designed to be. It's all a matter of choice and opportunities. You can choose that anytime you wish.

Contrary to what people say, be it politicians or activists in this world, everybody is perfectly equal. Every single creation in this world was created for a specific purpose, and each of the creations have a unique opportunity to change the world. When you look at people, everybody, irrespective of their creed, religion, ethnicity, location, age, gender, everybody is perfectly equal. Everyone deserves to live a happy good life; everyone.
It is crucial, literally critical, that everyone has to be helped to try to reach their highest potential and it is our job. It may be a scholarly person, it could be a solitary individual, an uneducated person, whoever it is. You have to consider every single person, being perfectly equal despite their glaring deficiencies, physical or even psychological weaknesses, whether external or superficial. Each and every creation is perfect and they’re equal.
To live your full potential, is to help others change direction so that they can also have a better destination. This is what life is all about. If you care for some of these people, you will have great results. But if you care enough for the whole world, you could change everything.
Life is about depending on each other and helping one another, but if you change the way you think, you will also change the way you feel, and if you've accomplished this, then go ahead and do it with others, show them what you've learned.
Details are of great importance to the creator of this world, otherwise He wouldn't have thought them through. He would not have put them in front of us.
So make this place worthwhile and help everyone reach their ultimate level they can, because everyone is perfectly equal and so are you; and so am I.
Regardless of where we come from, where we live, this is who we need to be: the person in its ultimate faction of life. We can do it. Forget the prejudices and all the difficulties; let's work together and make this happen.

What do all creatures in our world have in common? Which part of existence is so essential that the world can't live without?
If we remove, for instance, the color blue from the world, what would happen? What is the one thing that the world has to have in order to exist? Let make a suggestion.
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.
You see, there are two primary ingredients in the element of limitation in our world. One is time and the other one is 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. There's no such thing. This is because limitation is part of the definition and the makeup of both the world and its creations. Without limitation, without time and place, the world would cease to exist. Limitation and existence are interdependent, but limitations in your mind are infinite. You can, if you want to, remove them. There is no such thing as limitation of improvement or limitation of growth> It’s only in your mind. You could be whatever you want to be.
Indeed, if a color was missing from the world, it would make a difference but a minor one. But the limitation about your growth and to be the best that you can be, that is something of unique opportunity that you can never let go.
So I would suggest, the word limitation is only for time and place, not for you. Not in your life, and it should not be in your vocabulary.

There was once a pianist who played very well and met a very famous pianist, and he asked him, "How are we so different? We both play very well but you are very famous and I am not."
The famous pianist answered, "The difference between us playing, is the pauses, the silence, the space in between the notes. You have to know how to handle those."
Sometimes, you meet people who have gone through life and are able to handle circumstances which seem to be so insurmountable.
What is the difference between someone who can overcome a challenge and one who can't?
There are basically four approaches to life.
One is to fight, stand up and not accept it. Fight it until the last breath.
The other is when an obstacle, a challenge, or a difficulty occur, is to surrender and give up.
Another one is to run away, act as though it doesn't happen, it’s not even there.
But there's a fourth approach to life; and that is to rely and have trust in the Creator of the world.
This is something that will carry you over at any given time. It's not about intelligence or wisdom, it's not about faith or belief, it's about trust.
Trust is above and beyond anything anyone can imagine, and rather than approaching life in a way which might be despondent or difficult, or even seems to be impossible to overcome, why not have trust?
Now, of course, at times you could fight. You might even want to surrender in certain circumstances or just walk away. But the best approach, is to always know your values and always be able to stand up with integrity and honesty for the person that you are, and the fundamental basics that you believe in. Those will never change and they will always stand by you. That is the proper approach in life. That is the difference also between one who succeeds and one who does not, like the pianists. It's the pauses, meaning, to know how to look and reflect on a situation and ask yourself, “can I really not overcome that?” Am I that unstable or weak? And the answer is, you are not.
You can overcome them at any time; and I suggest that you do every time it happens.

I was once traveling to a third world country. There, I watched an artisan using mosaic on a beautiful piece of art and each piece was placed so carefully.
Every single day in our lives, every single moment of our life, represents the mosaic of our lives. Every piece represents a moment.
You have to be very careful on how you spend that moment. That little piece can make a difference, just like with this artist. He was a poor artisan, and had literally no tool other than a small piece of metal which he would carve around the sculpture to place these small pieces of mosaic.
Why not spend each and every day, a moment, and analyze your day? Did you, at all times do the best that you could? Did you help someone else? Did you make “your” world a better place than it was when you found it? Was there a purpose to your day? Did you accomplish more or less than you were supposed to?
Every moment, think about this: if you could, at the end of each day, review your entire day? At end of each week, review every day of that week? Now, do the same at the end of each month? At the end of each quarter? Even at the end of each year? And review everything about yourself and what you've done. Realize that these pieces of mosaic make up the most beautiful art in your life or possibly the opposite.
Why not promise yourself that starting today, you will make a difference and tomorrow will be better than today? Make the choice. Make the changes so that the mosaic in your life can be as pretty as the mosaic that an artisan designs on a piece of art. You deserve it and you can do it. There is a lesson to learn from everything that you see and I hope you can learn from this as I did when I saw it.

If you want to live a life of happiness, try to remember these basic facts. They are important because they might set you in a path that you will always appreciate.
The first is to accept responsibility for the things that you do. If you've made a mistake, admit it and let it go. It's not about anybody else. It's just a mistake, something you've done. Whether correct or not, it was a mistake; let it go. It's not worth dwelling on it.
The second is, you have to realize that if you wish to be happy, you have to work at it. You have to work on it because it doesn't happen haphazardly. Happiness is an art that you design and the person that you wish to become, benefits from that art. It's all about you. It's not something that happens by itself, and you can, at any given time, be better than you were just a moment ago. You can do that. You always have to be happy with what you've got, and in pursuing these different opportunities or dreams in your life. Be careful about the person that you become. You have to become a person of value. Comes of age, you'll regret it if you are not a person of principle and value.
Another thing that you have to be concerned about is, in order to have a good life, a happy life, be the person that you wish everyone else to be around you; and of course, you can change your habits by forging your character to be the person that you wish to be. This will happen with your actions becoming better, greater and more fulfilling. Help others get what they need and you'll get everything you want; that's a guarantee.
See, the world is the only place that we have in the universe for you to improve.
This is what life will bring to you: the goodness, the joy, the fulfillment of the ultimate way to live. This was always for you, not just once in a while, every single day.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a walk with a young boy. He was 10 years old. As we were walking, he was just looking at the flowers, enjoying the stroll, not paying attention to any details.
You know, this is what life is all about, enjoying the way things have been created.
Did you know that for close to 6,000 years, the seasons have been coming and going, and there's always been a change. There is the spring, and then the summer, and then fall, and then comes the winter. That cycle has been the same for thousands of years; imagine that. And it seems that even though at times, we feel that there's an endless winter, spring appears, and so it is with life.
When things look so difficult, challenging, terrible, even exhausting, the season will change and things will get better. They always do. Just like the seasons of life, so it is in our own personal lives and everything that we do. Life is like the changing seasons and just like the seasons, they have their good moments and difficulties, and their ups and then downs, and things which are easier and others that aren’t.
Such is life. Enjoy it because you deserve it.

It is incredible, the power of a mirror. If you were to look at yourself intensely in a mirror, what would you see? Is It a sad face? A person who has been hurt and has struggled but not succeeded? Someone who cries and feels as though they have not gotten everything they wished? Or is it someone who feels desperate and cannot move forward?
If that's what you see, then I invite you to go back in front of that mirror and look intently at yourself. Think of who you could be; what you've got, and everything that is within your power. Animals don't have this opportunity to understand who they are and neither does vegetation or inanimate matters. We, human being, we can. It is all within our power.
What is the difference between a person who cannot see themselves as great as they are, and the one who believes that this is the end of it and that they can't change?
I'll tell you what the difference is. It is very simple.
One wants to succeed and the other one just wants to cry.
Change what you've got and you'll change everything about you. If you want to become more, you have to become the person that you wish to be.
Success is not something that you have to go after and find; it's something that you attract by the person that you've become over the years and the person that you have developed into. You don't want it to be just accepting. You want it to be above and beyond.
A powerful mirror shows you who you are and who you could be. By doing and sharing everything that you've got, you can live with an intensity that will get you straight to the top.
Use your time wisely. Change yourself. Don't let the past affect you. Be the person that you wish to be with great diligence and pride.

Growth is such a beautiful word. What it means, is that there's a change, there's an expansion.
How do we experience growth in our lives? How can I change? How can I become a better person or a greater person? What can I do?
There's so many things that I've done in my life, does it matter? Of course, it does. You are not only deserving a better life, but everyone around you deserves to have you become better. Do you know that if you change in the person that you are, everything around you will change? Now, you don't have to change the circumstances in your life but you can affect them. You don't have to change the things that you have no control over, like the seasons, the storms, the rains, or even the traffic; it's not in your control. Everything that's outside of you, is not what you want to change. You want to change what's inside, and you can become the person that you wish to become. You can let the past be bygones and create a new present, so you can affect your future.
Happiness is a joy; but not just any joy. It's the joy of knowing and understanding who you are and what you've got, and the things that you can accomplish.
Can you become better than you are today? Of course, you can. Human beings have the power to be whatever they wish to be, more so than any other species in the world. We have that ability. You can become even greater than you've been up until now, if you realize who you are.
This is where happiness is, knowing that you changed yourself and the world around you. You created an environment where you, as the best that you can be, can make this world a better place. It's what growth is. It has the ability to change, not just your life but the whole world around you and then your circumstances.
I suggest you start the changes today. Don't wait, life is short. Time is precious and we don't know when the last day will arrive, so make the best of it.

Attitude is such an important component of happiness. It is the very basis by which your future will be designed and developed. Attitude is how you feel about the person that you are and the actions that you engender in your life.
You're affected by attitude: attitude of others and your own attitude. What you know, the things that you've accomplished, and perhaps, the things that you would like to do. Attitudes can be directed towards positive or towards negative. When you discipline your life, when you decide that your attitude should be beneficial, not just to you but to everyone around you, you are at that moment determining the direction that you will face and the direction that you will head towards.
It's interesting that your attitude can actually determine the success of your day.
Here's something else you should realize: attitude is the determining factor of all your actions. By doing good, so much more can happen. Why not have a positive attitude?
Live your life in the way that you want to. But don't let your life dictate your attitude. Be the master of that, and everybody will benefit.

Progress is such an important word. It means growth, moving forward. You always have to move forward.
You know, life expects us to do certain things properly. But it expects us to be productive. What it does, is that it wants us to make a quantitative or a perceptive progress in a way that what happens, develops over a period of time.
You may say, "What would be the time required?"
It has to be an “important” time, but it should be in a time frame that you feel is appropriate and reasonable.
We just have one life. We have to make it worthwhile. Your life has to be better than it was than when you first got here. Otherwise, what would be the purpose?
You could become the ultimate human being. You cannot be compared to anybody else in this world. You are just compared to yourself.
There are a few fundamentals in the world that makes these principals count for what we do. These principles are things that we learn throughout our life. They're basic premises that were taught to us by mentors, parents in various seasons of life experiences. At the end of the day, however, you won't master all of them but you could be great at many of them. You have an opportunity to make the difference, to make that change. You have to believe in yourself and you have to know that you are the creator, the master, and the architect of your destiny. These things that you've learned, these fundamental principles can help you. That's what progress is all about. Progress doesn't demand of you anything that is impossible. We have an obligation and a duty on this Earth and that is to be the best that we can be at all times, and therefore, you need to start somewhere. Yet it should take a reasonable time to get there. That's what true progress is: a growth and a quantitative advancement over a period of time which is considered quite reasonable for all of us.
And I wish the best for you because you deserve, as does everyone else, to be the best that they can be.

"Why do I love you?" is a question many people ask when we speak to our parents, to our spouse, to our friend, to a colleague, a child, or an acquaintance, or even the Creator of the world.
Have you thought about the question, why does G-d, the Creator of the world, love us,?
Obviously, he created us in an image which has a purpose; but why does He love us?
Why would He nurture us, Save us, Guide us?
What is the reason for that?
And if you were to ask the Creator of the world, why He loves us, here's a suggestion at what He might say:
"Why do I love you? Because you are perfect. I have created you in such a way that you can do anything you want. I have given you strength, beauty, courage, understanding, and love. I will follow you wherever you go and I will be with you. Even when you are asleep, I will watch over you. When things seem to be difficult or challenging, these are the times that I will hide myself so you can find me. But don't ever despair because I will always be there for you. The love that I have for you is infinite. Just as I am Eternal and Infinite, by you doing the right things, you will be infinite. What I ask of you is to make a small space in the world for Me. Help Me be there with you. Know that you are special, know that if you look in the mirror, you will see a copy of Me."
This is what He would say.
This is the same thing we should say to our loved ones. The beauty, the kindness, and the things that they bring us.
Life is not complicated. It's actually pretty beautiful, and if you think about it, there's so many good things we could do to make this world a better place and live happy. We have to have the right attitude.
Use this opportunity to change your life and be the best that you can be. Know that the Creator of the world put you down here for a very special mission and He chose you to make that difference. So you could do it, make this world the place that it needs to be and be the best at everything that you do. G-d loves you beyond imagination, so you should love everyone in the same way, and feel the goodness and the kindness that exists in the world because you deserve it.

When I landed in one of the destinations I visited, on my way out from the airplane, I thanked the pilot. He was standing there and I walked right up to him and I said: "Thank you for such a wonderful and pleasant journey." He seemed so pleased.
It's interesting. How many of us thank the pilots of our lives when we're given such a pleasant ride and we arrive at our destination safe and sound? Do we understand, remember, sometimes even agree, that this deserves a “thank you”?
The parents who showed us the way where to go. The taxi driver who takes us to our locations, the persons who taught us so many things in our lives: teachers, friends, colleagues, mentors, various people in our lives who take us on a ride and get us there safely.
This is the pilot and yes, for those few hours we are in that plane and he, the pilot was in control.
You had the opportunity to rest, perhaps even sleep, read, speak, joke, whatever you wanted to do while he was watching for you.
There is a Creator in the world and he watches all of us, 24/7 and he's the pilot that gets us from point A to point B. So remember these things and remember to thank the pilot when you arrive at your journey. Remember to thank the pilots in your life who have gotten you where you are safely and helped you be the person that you are today.
Being thankful is part of life's journey. Being grateful is part of your values. Make it a good day and thank everyone who helped you along the way.

The quest for a better life is a difficult concept but if you think about it, everyone is looking for a better life. Everyone is looking for happiness. It is often said however, that the process of change in life begins, unfortunately, with things that are difficult. Once a person “hits” a wall or is desperate in a situation that is somewhat difficult, it's at that time that they start looking for a better life.
Sometimes, our circumstances are such that things become out of control and we don't know what to do. We even want to give up. Because of our lives, seemed to be filled with questions that cannot be answered. Desperation comes in and we find ways at that moment to look for a better life and we find it. Quite interesting.
Not that desperation is the key or the answer to the “quest for life”, but it's often the momentum that it creates. It creates this impetus and that's how and where it all starts. Now, we can all make a difference in our world.
This is the way that we can change things. You can have a change, an internal change or an external change, but the beginning of change is within you. Today is the time that you can fix the next two, three, four, five years of your life. It's a powerful statement because on this day, your life can be totally different from now on.
Life can accumulate. Either the values of the experiences that you've learned or the equity of the troubles and the circumstances of the negatives that you've experienced; it's up to you. You are a valuable person. You can become anything you wish. The value of your fundamentals and the person that you are can make a difference. Why not change? Why not take this opportunity and be the best that you can be?
The quest of happiness is right there by you. You don't have to wish for it; you just have to start it and you can; many people have, and you deserve it.

Think of this concept, if I may impose upon you, regarding the pharmaceutical profession. There are many lessons and it may impact some of our mission in our life, so think about that.
Upon entering a quality pharmacy and seeing the great and varied selection of medicines, there are hundred drugs. They provide relief and possible a cure for all sorts of illnesses, including the most deadly of them. The person seeing this, is greatly impressed and that would make sense.
Now, the pharmacist however, must explain to him that most importantly, all this is but a preface and preparation.
In order for a sick person to actually be cured, two crucial things are necessary and must happen.
First an expert must instruct which specific drug and the specific manner of the administration of this drug and is for this illness. This however is not sufficient in itself; the patient must also actually take the medicine.
So now, think of this about our life. Applies this to our everyday life. Each and every one of us as an individual, is an emissary and we've been sent down here on Earth for a specific purpose; but what is the specific purpose? What is the cure that we're looking for, and what kind of drugs are we going to use? Now, to do this, all we need is but a preamble and a preparation. We still need an expert to instruct us, and in this case, we need either a book, many people have used the Bible, or a mentor, a friend, someone who's knowledgeable to help us figure out what to do. If they give us that information, we will not destroy anything but rather build on what we've got.
Now, to use this concept as a healing process, the person walks out of the pharmacy knowing that this pharmacy has carries, all of the predetermined and pre-prepared medications.
Therefore, our job is to figure out which one is best for us. That's what life is all about on a daily basis.
We have to figure out, everyday which path to take and whether you want to use a book, a mentor, a parent, or someone who has introduced into your life some good things, you must follow the prescription and not cut yourself.

“What we do with what we have says so much about us”.
Did you know that? It's interesting.
It actually reveals our own philosophy about our life, our attitude and what we know, what we think, and the makeup of our character, and the person that we truly are. It's a reflection of our thoughts, and our value of systems. This is the way we do things and the way we see those things.
What you need to do, is to decide how you want to live now, versus how long you want to work.
Clearly, you need to think about work and how much time it's going to take you to get there. The fact is you're not sure what will happen but how you want to live, that will make a difference on deciding the type of life you will have.
So if you spend everything you make now, you'll have no choice but to work longer and harder. You have to think for tomorrow, today and you will live a better tomorrow. You have to be careful with all of that. You can't go into debt with no reason. Going into debt must be strategic, not habitual. You have to know that it's hard to get rich quickly, but it's easy to get rich slowly. Decide on the kind of life that you want to live. It's hard to be patient sometimes, but it's just like achieving your goal; it happens one step at a time.
Here are nine words to remember. This is the key to discipline.
The first three is, “break it down.” Take it one step at a time. Figure out what needs to be done and prioritize these steps.
Number two, “write it down”. Write it down so you will have a plan and you'll have an understanding of what you'll need to do. The next step you need to take is, “get it done”.
Take it one step at a time. Start examining what's keeping you back, instead of what's keeping them ahead. Don't think of others. Don't think of the whole world moving so fast while you're staying behind. Take your objective one step at a time and decide, what will be my next step to reach that objective? What you do with what you have, means more about what you have. What you do will reflect on your future and will affect you today. What you have currently is only temporary; it may not last. And you might not even need what you have right now.
Tomorrow, as a matter of fact, is a new day. Will you need that “thing”? Aren't there so many things in your life that you really don't need? Why do you keep them? Maybe sentimental, maybe by sheer joy. Whatever the case may be, what you do with what you have is more important than what you have. Remember that.

The whole world benefits if we all leave more profit. You touch something and you leave it better than you found it.
Imagine going to a hotel room and spending the night there. When you are finished, the morning before you leave, you will turn off all the lights, you would pick up some of the trash that you had and put it in the trash bin. Then at the same time, straighten up everything, so that it looks as good or better than the way you found it.
I'm not saying making up the bed and finishing it as though it was ready for the next person. But imagine the parents, to touch a life and leave it better than they found it. This is how they raise children. The life came into being and they raise that child to become better than when they came to this world. They help them see themselves greater than they are.
Same thing for employees. Imagine, for an employee to “touch” a job and to come and work at a company, and leave it better than they found it. Leave it with a profit, leave it so that it makes more sense, so that it makes a difference. What kind of world it would be if everybody tried to leave it in a better condition than the way we found it? Imagine if we could all do this.
A person says, "I can't stand paying my bills. Bills, it's always about making sure that other things are paid. Why should I do that?" Is it possible to love paying your bills? The answer is yes. By paying your bills, you reduce your liability and you increase your assets. What a wonderful way to live, not having to owe anything.
So paying your bills is not something that is “bad”. It's a matter of leaving it and finding it better afterwards. Leaving it the way that it was and turning it into something better. You found the bill, you paid it, and now, it is better.
If you could look at everything this way, and practice it on a daily basis, your life will change. Life is opportunity but life also has a price, and we all must pay. We all must share. We all must contribute to make this world a better place. The rewards, however, is that when we leave, when the time comes, we leave it better than the way we found it when we first got here.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 910 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I once spoke to a leader who was telling me that life is not so simple as a leader. Actually, leadership is quite often an exercise in facing reality; and he couldn't face this. This leader had dealt with someone who was very unethical and dishonest, and he couldn't understand that.
Well, I tried to explain to him that dishonest people are just that, they are “dishonest” and they lack integrity. That's who they are. That's how they live. This is what they do. It is what they want to be.
Now there's a concept called the 80-20 rule. It is to learn to spend 80% of your time as the leader with the 20% of the people who deserve it. A leader has to know that difference. Why is that?
Because in trying to figure out the things the way they are, sometimes, we don't have an answer.
Let's say for instance, the laws of nature. You might say, why does fall occur after spring or summer? That should not be a question. That's just the laws of nature. Why does summer come after spring? It's just the way things are. You don't question that. You just accept it.
What you need to do is to learn to work with the things the way that they are. You don't make that difference.
The task of leadership, however, is learning to spend 80% of your time with the 20% of those who are doing 80% of the work. A leader needs to recognize that. Once you realize that, you can spend individual time with the 20% and group time with the 80%.
For this, you need two key components: strategy and diplomacy. Strategy means to basically understand what you have to do. Diplomacy is how you apply what you know. By doing this, you become a different person and a great leader. You can't be fooled by the things that happen around you and be disappointed at some of life's truths. If a person is not telling the truth, they're called a liar. It's as simple as that. Now, you may try to influence them but that's who they are. And the way the system works is that at times, we can't focus on those things that are not as relevant to us what we have to focus on as 80% versus the 20%, and that's why. You learn to spend 80% of your time as a leader with the 20% of the people who deserve it.
Once you learn this rule and you apply it, not only do you become a good leader but you make the best of your time of your day, and of every moment of your life, and that's very important.

There are some people who live with if only:
"If only I were rich. If only I had more possessions. If only I had great health. If only I had been born in this country. If only I had this and if only I had that."
Ask yourself the question, what if you would think differently by saying:
"Now, that this is what I have, what do I do? How can I grow? How can I change?"
Rather than saying if only I had this, why don't you use what you have, what you know!
What you have got at this point and all the material and physical, and emotional possessions, use those talents, use these commodities, and do everything that you want to do? Why wish for things that you don't have? Why wish for things that only perhaps you could have had, but didn't get?
If only only means a dream that you wish that has never happened.
What if you did the other way around?
Use what you've got, use the strength and be grateful for all the good things that you have around you.
Now, use this attitude to catapult yourself and awaken that passion within you to brighten that future and challenge all the dreams you have. You can electrify your mind and nurture all your beliefs. By recognizing your strengths, you can refresh your mind, replenish your enthusiasm, and represent the authority that you are by removing doubts and resolving your dreams. This is who you are. This is what you've got, so revise your goals. Don't cancel them and don't wish for things happen in a different way. Don't even say, “maybe if”, “when”, no. Say, “for sure”, “it will”, and “now”, and make that change. Make those differences. Can someone see the finished product of something that they have not even started? The answer is yes.
The farmer can do that. The farmer has the ability to see what will happen even though it doesn't yet exist.
You should have the same strength and faith. You see the finished product of what you can do without hoping for something you don't have.

There are people who can't function well at times and they wonder why is that. Is it mental, physical, spiritual?
Believe it or not, often it is a physical concept that they don't understand or don't pay attention to.
You see, it's very hard to be happy or be able to function productively when you're completely worn out, and especially today with the demands that we have. It's extremely difficult to tune out the world and be able to focus on just some of the concepts.
Our “systems”, if you think about it, either emotional or physical, and sometimes even spiritual get depleted mentally and emotionally, in every aspect and rather than turning it inward to rejuvenate and be able to say, "Let me replenish these depleted forces," we shut it out and say, "Just get a cup of coffee and keep me up. Let me get some caffeine somehow, or a bar of energy and I'll be better."
It's interesting. There was a study, in Los Angeles County and it concluded that those who slept less than seven hours per night were twice as likely to be depressed as those who got adequate time to shut out their eyes. Isn't that amazing?
And something else; the head of the Stanford Sleep Disorder Center said that the national sleep debt is larger and more important than the national monetary debt. So it's not that we need more sleep. It's not just the idea of sleeping more than will feel better. It's the fact that at times, you have to tune out; you have to step out of all of these continuous “bombarding” that we have coming to us and becoming idle, or to a certain extent, just out of commission. These simulations that come from everywhere could be overwhelming and this is something that can be exhausting because we're not able to shut out.
The Bible says that you have to work six days and rest on the seventh. Part of the reason for that is because G-d Himself rested.
That's the beautiful thing about keeping one day completely clear of watching TV, traveling, cooking, working or doing anything, but coming back to yourself and rejuvenate, reinvigorate your senses and your strength; spend time with the family, have dinner, and perhaps even turned down the lights, enjoy being with one another without any distractions; the phones, the computers, and all the gadgets that exist today.
Try it. This may be your salvation and it could be as well your track to happiness.

Just recently, I was speaking to a friend who reminded me that since some of my loved ones are still alive, I should at times just go and touch their hand. Because he did not have the opportunity to do that anymore, he missed that ability.
There are no guarantees we know in life against tragedies when it strikes, we know that; but what could we do when we start feeling the fear or understanding that we cannot appreciate what we have because we’re afraid to lose it?
We can't control the future, that we know; but we can enjoy the people that we're with, places that we visit, or the things where we are right now and we can experience the maximum joy possible in every moment.
Now, I want you to remember this and you’ll see that you will always love if you can remember these three things which I'm going to write here.
This is something that's important to remember for all times. For someone, for instance, that you care about, know this: number one, remember that the person that you're with right now will not always be there. There will come a day when they die.
Number two, remember that you will not always be there. There will come a day when you die.
And here's number three: right now, where you are and with the person that you're with together in this moment, will never come again, and if you miss this opportunity, then you might regret it, so think about that.
By this person dying one day or you dying one day, why not enjoy the moment that you're in right now? If you can get to work, and feel around your waist the hugs from your child, you become priceless. If you can get to your next appointment and still feel on your cheek the kiss from your child, your spouse, a partner, or a friend, you become invincible.
Think about that. Appreciate what you have in life right now, make the best of it, and at this moment, if you are to miss it, know that it will never come back. It makes such a difference.
So pay attention to these words, because time is precious and remember this so that you will always love.

There are people who say we do not have choices in life. Life was a structured and set and we do not have choices. This, I believe is an inaccurate statement. We do have choices.
We have the choice at any given time to become either a victim of our circumstances or to become the person who makes those circumstances change. Believing in yourself to be just a mere pawn in a game which is played by some Being or Creator is not the proper attitude.
You have to know that those limitations or any hardships that have been given out there are for you to be able to experience and overcome; and you always have choices.
You could choose the meaning you make out of those circumstances and the freedom that you can acquire from choosing not to be what you don't want to be.
I have spoke about this before.
Viktor Frankl who spent years as an imprisoned person in Auschwitz, in the concentration camps noticed something which was quite amazing, and this is what he said; “Everything can be taken from a man by the last of human freedoms, the right to choose, one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, and the right to choose one's own way.”
What he meant by that, was that even though the dire circumstances that affected him, in these concentration camps, something that most of us can't even imagine, of the genocide and unbelievable torture that they went through, yet he, as a psychiatrist, a writer, and an author, saw that people can, could, and did make choices and they were able to elevate themselves to a different level.
The future is not some place where we're going but the one that you are creating, the paths are not to be found, they are to be made. It's something that you have to choose. You can become happier and you could become more free in every aspect. You can decide to be and do everything that you were designed to be, or you can do less than you were designed to be. That's your choice.
Why not choose the opportunity to make this a better place for you and all those around you? Why not choose the freedom to become the best that you can be? Why not use this choice of life that will make you the ultimate person, the ultimate you the one you should be, that you can be, that you want to be, that you need to be at all times? Why not take the choice? It's your life.

Having a productive life and the feeling and knowledge, and understanding that we are here for a purpose gives you a sense of productivity. What that means is that wherever you are, you have to seize the moment. It means that while there are many formidable obstacles and challenges in life, and they are unique to each person, we understand that, it seems that the circumstances that block our ability to fulfill our purpose in this world can be overcome because within each and every one of us, hidden deep within our personalities, our psyches, our characters, our beings is a very strong will, and this will is to fulfill our purpose in life.
And sometimes, we may think, how will that happen? Will one thought or one word, or one action change the entire world or even things around me? “There are billions of people in this earth and my lone voice in this part of the world will make all the difference?”. Is that even believable?
We know that we are “a people” and this is the reason for us being created. Everything that we do 24/7 with all that we have, is to make this world a better place than it is the way we found it when we came in. One way or another, with our unique role in this world as a people, as humans, is to make all the difference and transform the world to be a better place, to be a good place, to be a holy place.
Now, you might ask, where do we get the vitality to reveal this will which is within us?
It says that's one thought, one word, or one deed can tip the scales of the entire world towards goodness, towards salvation, towards good things. This basically teaches us that the greatness and the power of every single moment, we get to review the greatness of every moment because we're connected with one another, and every moment, every day, every week, every month, and every year is infused with the true life.
This is the power we have to overcome all the challenges and be victorious in changing this world and making it a better place than it was when we came and founded this way.
We can do it. Try it, you will amaze yourself.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 904 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
What would you do if you woke up in the morning and found out that something terrible or difficult, or challenging has happened? Death, for instance or perhaps losing a job, or having all kinds of issues that have come up that you did not expect.
You thought it might even go away but things happened, but yet the whole world around you says, "This is good, everything is alright."
The truth is, in your life, it's not.
We have part of our brain that experiences fear and sorrow, and sometimes even worry, anger, all kinds of feelings. These helps us at times protect us from causing dangerous things to ourselves but still, however, sometimes, a person is “stuck”. They're stuck in an anger or in a chronic worry, or even in a fear and they just don't know how to get out. Things are difficult, challenging. They're not sure. They can't appreciate the rest of life. They can't seem to move up or on to the next level. They just don't know what to do. They're feeling totally powerless and they realize that this powerless feeling is not going to end, and they just don't see any options. They don't know where to go and they think they are unhappy. Unhappiness could be the cause of this issue.
Now, happiness is not a constant process. Contentment should be, but not happiness.
We can't be happy all the time.
For instance, if you are presented with an amazing opportunity and it happens, that will give you a sense of happiness. Contentment, however, is the feeling that you're always pleased with what you've got in pursuit of other things that you want. It's the courage that we have and the willingness to accept the grief. The obstacle that we are working on right now that we are trying to overcome is temporary. That's all it is. Once you realize that, and you realize that happiness is not constant, contentment becomes a good friend. It becomes joyful. It becomes signs of serenity and peaceful. It becomes tranquility in your heart. It gives you a sense of wholesomeness and gives you a sense of understanding that happiness cannot be constant which is a good thing because when it does come, you would like it to be bigger than just contentment. But if it was there all the time, you wouldn't appreciate it anymore. It would just be part of the world and that's just not the way things are.
So accept your life, be content, and be at times, happy.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 903 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A well-known man by the name of John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men of his time was asked what would make him more happy, and this is what he responded, "One dollar more."
Can you imagine that kind of an answer? Think about that.
Money can buy so much and it can do so much more for us, but can it buy happiness?
Study after studies, it is shown that the desire for more stuff, more goods, more materialistic aspect has gone with the rise of income and is a “happiness suppressant”. So you accumulate more, but you're not as happy. Many studies have shown that. It's interesting.
Money has been said, is just like oxygen. If you don't have oxygen, it could be a serious issue. It could cause serious illness and problem. It could even kill you but if you have what it needs for your body to breathe; the abundance of the oxygen is irrelevant; it doesn't serve any purpose for you, and so it is with joy of having what you need.
One person said that “happiness is not tied to how much money you have but how much you had in the past or hope to have in the future”.
However, how you deal with what you have right now, is what creates the happiness that you want. Happiness is living within your means, it is called a reasonable life. You can have what you need. The difference is to know what you want versus what you need.
We know for a fact that money may not buy happiness but debt for a fact will make everyone miserable. You have to differentiate on the things that you have to have.
So, if there is something that you don't really need versus what you want and it makes you unhappy, why fight for it? Why work for it? Why strive to get it?
Often, it's just a matter of ego. "I just want that, so people can look at me so others can hear what I have and how successful I am."
Success, at no point in time will be a determining factor of your happiness. Never.
Happiness is how you feel inside about yourself and the self-respect that you have for the person that you are. Be careful with what you acquire and in the pursuit of getting these goods versus what you become. Life is about becoming, not getting and accumulating. To become a “hoarder” of anything, including money, will not bring you happiness ever. But to know that what you have is worth living for, that, will make your day so much more enjoyable.

Do you realize that according to the International Labor Organization, the average American works 1,979 hours per year which is over 400 hours more than Europeans and over 100 more than the Japanese? And this is of an increase in the last decades for a full week per year.
Quite amazing. These changes are incredible if you think about the impact that it has on our lives.
Now, work is a daily grind. What do we do, every single day when we go to work? Actually we spend more waking hours and some of the best years of our lives at our jobs than our homes.
I heard of a story of a person who was driving by one of the bridges and that person saw, inside the toll booth, a man who was dancing, and the driver asked him, "Why are you dancing?" He said, "Because I am practicing. I'm having a party. I'm having a good time. I come to work every day and I'm surrounded with good things. I mean, my job is not boring. I've got a corner office, glass on all sides and I see hundreds of people, listen to the music as loud as I wish."
Quite interesting how this person worked in a “toll booth”, saw his work as being so innovative and made the best of it.
We spend so much time trying to figure out what we do. Whether or not our work is dehumanizing, it depends on how we approach it. I can clearly say, thank G-d that I personally have enjoyed every single job that I've had. Even at times when I used to travel extensively; thousands and thousands of miles per year, reached hundreds of thousands of cities that I would visit during my work. I've enjoyed every part of it and I looked for the beauty in each and every location, and I knew there was a purpose for it.
You see, doing the “best” each time that you're doing it gives you the wholeheartedness to know and finding delight in what you're doing if you understand that what you're doing is indeed necessary. It's a mission; it's part of your life, and the reason why you're here is because you have to elevate some G-dly spark or an amazing unknown concept, and you're the only one that could do that. That's how you got to that place. So instead of wishing you weren't where you are, use that opportunity to make your job the best place to be and make it memorable.

There are times in our lives where challenges and obstacles seem to be overwhelming. Things we can't understand or comprehend and not sure exactly where to go. A person can overcome these challenges by thinking about themselves and their position in the world.
Now, obviously, you have to admit that there has to be somewhere in this world or universe, the Creator that put all this together. That's a premise you need to understand at first. Once you understand that, the vitality and indestructibility in the pure faith that there is a Creator, not in some kind of an abstract way, but One Who's hidden somewhere in the heavenly spheres and regards this world not from a distance but with absolute conscientious efforts and in a very personal way. One who is the very life and existence of everybody, and it permeates one at all times in everything that they do.
You now know where there's such a faith, such a trust, such a belief. There's no room for anxiety or fear, and obstacles and challenges become easier to handle. It doesn't mean they go away, no.
And when one puts his trust in the Creator, unconditionally or unreservedly, one realizes what it means to be really free and full of vigor, for all of one's energy is released in the most constructive way. Not only in one's own behalf, but also in behalf of the environment at large.
So again, it doesn't mean that the road will be free from all the obstacles and obstructions, because in the Divine order, things the way they were to be, we're expected to gain and attain our goal with efforts, not easy; we have to work at it, but if we make a determined effort, success is divinely assured, and all the obstacles and obstructions that first seem so large will dissolve and disappear.
Just like a man who is walking, think about that. In a simple illustration, as a man is walking steadily and assuredly, he won't be conscious about his walk and not seek how to conscientiously coordinate all the hundreds of muscles or the operations to make him walk. He would be unable to walk if he had to think about all this. When a man wants to walk, he just gets out and start walking, and in the muscles take care of themselves.
This is what I wish for you, to know, believe, and understand that the world is a beautiful place to live and you should be walking freely wherever you go and with happiness.

When a parent has a child, how much do they love that child?
The truth is, limitless way, but even though they have this child that they love in a way which is unparalleled, unprecedented, as they have a second child, they also love that second child in a limitless way.
How is that possible since there was not enough, love but yet it seems that the magic is recreated and they can love that child even more?
Now, what happens if a child is born to those parents and that child is missing a limb or has an impediment, or a body missing of anything, something, like an organ perhaps, or a defect, whatever the case maybe?
The parents love that child even more so than all the other children. They have a unique unparalleled, exclusive love that emerges from them, and this love is not because the child is missing something. It is because the parents feel that this child is unique in their way and therefore, from their own essence and being, emerges this unique exclusive love as well. This is how we are supposed to love everyone, in an unconditional way without any limits.
When we meet someone who has a physical, emotional, spiritual deficiency or an impediment, whatever the case may be, remember that the Creator gave them the same rights that He gave to you and I. The Creator loves them in a unique way, and for that, we have to emulate that same type of condition and love, then we become above and beyond who we are today. This is what it means.
To be part of the world and accept everyone unconditionally; maybe a parent or a sibling, a friend, a colleague, someone you work with, or a citizen from another country, a different religion, different race, different gender, whatever the case may be. What we have to do while here on Earth is love every one in an exclusive way. With exclusive love, what you're doing is you're expressing yourself above and beyond imagination. You're recreating the magic that was meant for us to use before the world was created and that's the reason why we're here; to see the best in each and everyone of us and to continuously lift up one another to be able to see above and beyond those limitations.

When we think about creating happiness and making sure that we have a good life both in physical, emotional, and spiritual way, we can't help but consider the concept of love.
Now, in most cultures, we think of love as something in romantic terms, something that has to do with another person, a soulmate, someone we search for and then we hopefully find.
Interestingly enough, however, study after study has shown that married folks tend to be happier than single ones, so we know this is a good thing to do.
The GARP Organization has gathered hundreds and hundreds of statistics showing that distinguishing a more profitable company from a productive company is literally all about finding out if the people have a best friend at work and these companies were rated so much higher. Isn't that interesting?
No matter how particular these romantic circumstances could be, we're here to love and show appreciation to other people because that's who we are. You can care for another person, like an aging parent or perhaps helping a homeless person find a place to live, or perhaps even children.
In whichever way you like, there's so many things that you can do, so many ways that you can express your love. When it comes to love, the question is not whether you should, but how and where.
How wide can my heart open? How can I be kind? How can I help another? How can I encounter more goodness and spread that goodness?
Global kindness is an amazing concept which when spread properly will bring you all kinds of feelings of fulfillment and productivity. In loving and being loved, we become mostly true to ourselves, the person that we are, and the expression that we have in our essence, a sense of true joy of whom we were meant to be.
Something else that needs to be considered, that a writer said: "No matter what we do or say, or accomplish, or even become, it is our capacity to love that ultimately defines us. In the end, nothing we do or say in this lifetime will matter as much as the ways we have loved one another."
Quite interesting, isn't it?
This is what it's all about and this is how love is defined. This is what we're all about. In what we think and what we do, love one another and spread it as much as you can. The whole world will benefit and so will you.

If you're trying to have a serious conversation on those occasions when you really want your words to be taken seriously, here is a few tips that might help you. Some of these conversations can be taken lightly and therefore, you have to be careful about this.
First, make sure that you choose a time in advance. Don't just make it so that it's unexpected. Choose a time when it is going to be a proper time to be able to deliver your message.
Second, choose also the place, a moment and a place where things are going to be proper. Choose a moment where the mind is clear and most alert, most receptive, not towards the night or very early in the morning. Choose a time of the day that the other person will listen.
Next, be careful of the setting. The setting itself, the elimination of any minor distraction, things where the listener will be completely tuned in so that you can deliver your message and it will make sense. Next, use both sides of your mouth, meaning that before delivering a message, ask yourself, am I giving this message from “all directions”? Am I just broadcasting a bunch of different information? Or is there some part of me that is signaling a different message altogether? If that's the case, have a conversation with yourself before attempting to convince the other person because if you have not internalized the message, there's very little chance that you'll find the other person becoming receptive to your message.
Maybe perhaps also another one is use a few words. You see, if you use a few words, it will give room for thoughts instead of stifling the other person or their mind. Get the other person to think that you have a receptive message that they should be able to listen to. But using a few words and using these important words, that you'll need, you will be able to have that person focus and understand what you're saying. Now these tips on making a serious conversation, convey the message that you want to give, those things can be used at all times with a spouse, a colleague, or perhaps an owner of the company that you work for, a sibling, an acquaintance, or just a friend that you want to convey a message to. Use these tips carefully. They come from a wise place and they're very helpful. I guarantee you that.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 897 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times, we do things which we know are improper, either in our eyes or in the eyes of society, or sometimes, for some of us, we believe in the eyes of G-d.
So what should we do when we feel remorse about something which should not have done? What's the point of vocalizing our thoughts of remorse to anyone, for that matter? Aren't the thoughts and the feelings that are deep within us or within the deep recesses of our minds and the parts of our hearts revealed before us? We know what we've done. We know what it is.
Well, for one reason is, the declaration of one's feeling that we take seriously when they are spoken, makes it real that we realize what we've done. So by expressing it, vocalizing it, we feel the remorse and we understand what we've done. It doesn't mean we dwell on it; it just means we express it.
It also serves not only to reveal and reinforce our inner thoughts, but also to intensify them because spoken human emotions run faster and thicker when they are expressed, it is just as simple as that.
Now, it's just almost like anger management. There was a tip that was given by a wise man saying “During an angry time, keep silent.” That's basically the best advice that you could ever engender.
The spoken words, add fuel to the fire of feeling negative or positive, whichever way, and venting to a friend in the heat of anger exacerbates rather than eliminates the negative feelings, so the best way is to keep silent.
In fact, no matter how critical or objective we try to be with ourselves, at times, we are blinded by self-love. According to one of the wisest men in the world, King Solomon, who said that “it prevents us because of the self-love from seeing our shortcomings.”
What we do as we go about our life viewing ourselves from the inside through speaking of our shortcomings, we understand the remorse and we step into this other person and realize that what we've done was wrong. Now, we don't need anyone else to listen to that or a person to absolve us, or anything like this, but we do need to acknowledge to ourselves that what was done, was a moment of folly.
During that moment of folly, we stepped beyond our boundaries and we feel remorse, so confessing to what you've done to yourself out loud can help you with the remorse and can help you get rid of the feeling of the things that you did that was not appropriate, and you'll feel so much better. Try it.

What do you have and what makes what you have yours? Have you thought about that? And yours, meaning this is your spouse, this is your children, this is your home or your job, or your car, your clothes, your reputation, things that you have, and if the word 'yours' applies to these things, how did you come to possess these things or these ideas?
There are three ways.
One way is to earn all those things. The other way is that it was given to you, and the third way is that it was inherited.
Let me explain. The things that you earned are the things that you were able to buy. Perhaps you earned some money and you paid cash for it, and you bought that piece of furniture that you wanted or that phone, something that you felt you deserved because you are able to buy it.
Things that were given to you or gifts, someone may have taught you some things that you learned and you appreciated that, or the love that you received from someone else, and something that you could not have achieved on your own. It's a gift. It's beyond you but they belong to a reality greater than yourself. It just came to you from someone else or something else.
Inherited, however, is different. Inherit means it is intrinsically yours, like your birthright or your inheritance, something you didn't have to do anything for. You just got it by virtue of who you are or where you are. For instance, your soul, your mind, or the things that you were born with; talents, your traditions, the land that you were born in, all of those things you got. Now, the gifts you receive will always depend on forces beyond your control but the things that are inherited will be yours irrespective of the circumstances and under all conditions. You can disallow them, you can even try to reject them and say, "I am not a citizen of that country," but you know what? You can't get rid of that. It can't stop. It can't change. This will always stay with you.
So what you have now, are those three different things, whether it was earned, given, or inherited, these are the things that make up the person you are.
Might I ask you? on the things you've earned, that was your job.
On the things you were given, that was a gift.
But on the things that were inherited, why not make them worthwhile because it's yours?

Everything that happens in the world is by Divine Providence which means that it's all under G-d's watchful eye and due to His orchestration, if it happens this way or that way, it's all meant to be for the good.
This is a concept which may or may not be accepted by everyone but it nevertheless, something which is real and true. Now, you may disagree and say, "I have control over what I want to do. I am the architect of my own destiny." That is the truth. However, everything else around you is about developing and helping you to a certain extent, using your special capabilities to be the best that you can be. For instance, take this idea of money. How much money do you have and what do you give, and how do you share that money with others?
The person who has less money to give, is not at a disadvantage compared to someone who's able to give a more. If it was determined by Divine Providence that he should have less money to give, or to share with others, it is because he was given a tremendous amount of capabilities in other areas, and he can accomplish with the small amount of money that he has, what others have to do with so much more. Does that make sense?
What that means is this. You are able at any given time, to use all the things that you have to the best of your abilities, to do as much as you need to do, and even more. Not so much, how much money that you have but what are your capabilities within the today?
Know that the special capabilities that were given to you can be at any time broadened and exemplified, and proliferated. You can grow. You can do so much more, and the reason for that is because you have been given the opportunity to show to the rest of the world, and of course to yourself, what your mission is all about and what you can accomplish. So don't be upset because you say, "I don't have enough money to share or love, or talents, or anything." You have plenty. Your special capabilities are things that you were given to you since you were born. You just have to find them. Find these talents that are in you, find these good things, find these powers, and use them with the full energy of your body, of your mind, of your soul and expand on them. Use these special capabilities to make the world better than it was when you came, and you will see, you will affect the world and yourself positively.

Often, we find people who ask, "I believe G-d exists. I'm just not sure how to prove it. I don't even know what to do with that sentence. I just know He exists," and we take things for granted because of that. The fact however, that the Creator of the world and however you wish to call “It” is unlike any other person that we know, that know where the knowledge and the things that are known is not something that we can grasp by human intellect. We can't understand that. It can't even be discussed or verbalized. The ear that can't hear it and the heart can't recognize it. It's difficult to interpret.
The reason for this, is because we generally try to understand things that exist outside of ourselves by thinking about how it is in us or in a relationship to us, and then by projecting it outward. It is so completely foreign to us sometimes that our comprehension can't grasp it. We just don't know how to relate to that.
Imagine this: imagine two drops of water sliding down a window pane. Now, the drops can meet and merge together, and form one drop. With the new drop formed, we can't tell that it was two separate drops, that they merged, but it appears to us as one single drop. This is a good example of demonstrating unity; true unity. The new drop is formed by merging two drops together. Now, it's larger than it was before, but adding this knowledge to us doesn’t change anything. We could do this about our understanding.
We can't do this about the Creator's understanding, and the reason for it, because it is beyond us.
It's not something we can realize or figure out so if you have doubts about who you are and what you do, if you have a unity beyond comprehension, concept that's blocking you and saying, “I don't know, I don't care, it's too much," think of yourself as being a created entity and therefore, to know the Creator is impossible because “you” were created. You won't know more. It's like being older than your parents. That will never be possible because every day you age, and they're still aging ahead of you, always. You'll never catch up. But understand that you've been created for a good reason. Now, use that knowledge.

You know, in our world today, we have an identity crisis which is so rampant, it's quite amazing. Human beings are the only ones asking, "So what now? What do we have to do? What are we going to be doing?"
People are not sure how they're supposed to act from day to day. We don't know what to do with our lives. Now, there are two conclusions that we can reach: either we are inferior to all of the cosmos or we have a unique role in the cosmos. It's up to us and we make that decision. It's interesting.
Darwin writes that in the Origin of Species, one of the ramifications of the Theory of Evolution is that there is fundamentally no difference between the human beings and the other species.
We obviously know differently today, for many of us, anyway. Those who believe in the Creator, we know that this is not true. We can either be the missing link or bringing the whole world back to its completion and separated from its own source.
Our universe, it says, is divided in four different worlds: the inanimate, which represents all the minerals on the Earth; the world of vegetation, the botany; the animals, and the human beings.
Now, each world serves the other. For instance, the Earth serves the trees which all the seeds, the plants, and then of course, the animal kingdom is served by all the vegetation, and so on, all the way to the human beings. The animal kingdom indeed serves human civilization for the food or utilitarian purposes; like plowing with the ox or being pulled by horses and donkeys. Human beings however, have the opportunity to take from all the three lower categories and elevate them to their source of infinity. Each of us has that choice. If not, if we don't do that, the whole cosmos is left hanging, and here we are to choose; we can say to ourselves, "who am I and who I'm not?"
Make the difference, who you are and what you're supposed to do versus who you're not. This doesn't happen in any other world. Only in the world of humans. So you can either redeem the world or compromise its integrity. You can either allow its symphony to reach its crescendo or cut the symphony short and make the world confused. That's what it's all about. That's what, at the end of the day, we're here for: either to redeem it or to compromise its integrity and get it all mixed up.
It's your choice. I suggest you choose the right one.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 892 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I recently read about Viktor Frankl. He was a psychiatrist and also an author, and he survived some terrible times during the German concentration time. He was in concentration camps himself, and he claimed that he found, in the concentration camp, his calling; and this is what he said. “Every person has his own specific vocation or mission in life, and everyone”, he said, “must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment.”
What that means is that the search that a person has to go through in order to find what this fulfillment is, is what gives us a reason to live, and that reason is for us to carry on this mission or this experience that we've gone through.
So he found his in the concentration camps.
It's quite interesting because of there he was, deluded literally from every single human right, but yet he made that to become his mission and he wrote about this. Now, many of us have a certain vocation, a mission, a calling but we don't know quite know what it is at times. We're confused and sometimes we are not able to find it. Part of the reason is that we don't always understand that this calling, this mission that we have in us comes from within our own soul. It's a mystery. No one has ever given us a map when we wake up and say, "Here's what you got to do today," and none of us were born with a guide and a certain set of rules, and directives that we have to take.
Now, there are many, different aspects of our life that tell us how to do it but not the reason why we personally have to do it. Quite interesting.
So the question is so much as to what we need to do and how do we do that. Some of us, interestingly enough, put so much effort in our work that we believe that work is what it's all about, when in reality, work, to a certain extent, helps us make a living. Now, if we find good in it, or if we turn that into a purpose, it's even better. But it really doesn't matter if you think about, of where you find the meaning, whether it's at work or your relationship, or in the way you lead your life; it's not about the money, it's not how you grow, it's the person that you become. And it's the calling of that mission, of the talents that you have, of the achievements that you've gained, and the things that you can do to know that this is your purpose. That's the meaning in your life.

Books that are written and poems, as well as podcasts, actually that are made are often about you. Basically, what I think, who I am, what I get, what I need. This podcast however, is about others. Let me explain.
If you decide today to be happy for other’s sake, everyone around you will benefit. Everyone will benefit without an exception. You see, it says clearly that when we rely on our connections with other people for our own emotional stability, we only get that because of us. Studies have shown interestingly enough, that on navy ship, commanders, showed that the crew tend to catch the mood of the leader even when that leader was locked into his own cabin and away from everyone else, even not communicating with anyone else. That mood was able to literally transform everybody on the ship.
As one writer said, what each of us learns has the potential of becoming a message to all humankind. What this means, however, is that not one single energy can be more impactful on this planet than the joy and well-being that comes, develops, and emerges from someone who loves and someone who is joyful.
By being happy, day by day, time by time, place by place, wherever you are, you have the potential to drive that emotion to directions that are multi-faceted, just like a diamond with a light shining into it. The prism with its beautiful rays will sparkle and shoot everywhere, all over; and as you rotate it, the lights will rotate with it. So, all around you, everyone will benefit. Quite interesting, isn't it?
So the benefits of being happy is not just for you. The benefits of being joyful is not just all about you; it's about others. And here's the beautiful thing: when others are happy and the environment around all these people becomes happier, then suddenly, it reverts back also to you. You see how that works? Everyone benefits, not just the people around you, but you, yourself included, so why not be good? Why not be happy? Why not spread the goodness? Why not spread the joy?
Try it, you will see what it does and it won't be long before you'll say, "This was right on and I'm glad I did it."

People at times try to censor their lives. They try to block out the things which are not good in their past, or even in their present. There's a concept I read once about the 10,000 joys and the 10,000 sorrows. Now, if you think about that, what that means is that there was an equal amount of sorrows in your life as there is an amount of joy. This is what life is all about. Don't ever think that life is all about good things that you will feel, experience, or things that will always help you go on. That is what life is supposed to be. You have to recognize that at times, those failures are good for you. You have to recognize that the reason why these things happen is eventually for the good. It may not be today and it may not be something that you realize today, but eventually, you will.
Life does go through us and we go through it. What that means is, that you want to be transformed as a consequence of the things that have happened to you, not as a need or a want. You have to be able to experience these things. The more you allow life as it is and all the complexities, some of the good things and the negative things, some of the successes and the failures, some of the joys and the sorrows, if it goes through you, you will grow in depth, in dimension, and in your capacity to accept what life is all about.
All the series of emotions that you'll go through, you can use those as a springboard to move forward to the next thing. Now, granted, sometimes these sorrows are difficult to accept. For instance, the death of a person. It's hard to accept that. There's not much you can do about it but if you focus on the fact that that person is now relieved and in a better world, or that you will keep the memory of the legacy they've left, the pictures, the writings, perhaps even the movies, anything that you find about them, you'll see how wonderful it was, and during that period of time, you spent that time with them.
So you don't need to censor things in your life. You don't need to cut things out. You don't need to escape. You just need to accept and find out how it transformed you to the beautiful person that you are today and you should keep going in that direction.

Just a little while ago, I got off the phone with a relative who has aged. This person has reached her late 80s, close to 90s. It is interesting that speaking with this woman, I found out that she is lonely. That's probably one of the hardest thing to live with. When you age, you become lonely. With loneliness comes fear and of course, this compounded with sometimes, medical issues, conditions, or diagnoses that seem to be dangerous, at that age, even the slightest movement outside by just the wind, can cause that person to be scared.
So if you know aging people, it could be parents, relatives, or friends, show them support, show them that you care.
There's no greater gift that you can give because at that age, there's not much that they can offer. Now, they have wisdom, tremendous amount of wisdom. After all, they've lived their full life and that life that they've lived is packed with wisdom of depth that would take any one of us a whole lifetime to understand. The generation previous to us is always smarter and greater, and they know; they see, they understand. So if you have the opportunity and you can or you would like to do something good, contact a person who's aging, an elderly.
If it's a family member, they will appreciate it. If it's not, then they'll have great feelings of kindness and hope, to share with you. Go ahead, spend time with them even if it is but to visit them, like coming by, bringing them a present with things that they like, things that remind them of their youth, you will do a tremendous service not only to our society and to the world around you, but to the person that you're visiting as well and to your soul.
Visiting an elderly is a blessing and it is something which is actually very precious.
I remember myself when I was in practice and seeing my elderly patients. They came in with fire within themselves, and the hope that their diagnosis will always be better than they had anticipated. I made it a point to always take care of that and make sure that that's what they would get: the best health care. So you don't have to be a doctor to do that. You can be a good person and help these people. It will change your life, I guarantee you that.

There's a concept called the “positive principle”.
It was actually designed and developed by a foundation. This foundation found out that when a person focuses on positive, then positive developments occur. While a person looks at negativity and continuously shine their light on the negative aspect, then only negative things happen.
In other words, the more we recognize and reaffirm the things that we have that are working for us--our strengths, our successes, our potentials and the things we can develop, it gives us a better health, it gives us great feelings, it gives us a vitality, and we feel happier every single moment.
Quite interesting, isn't it?
Something else. The energy that is created by the positive thinking and the focusing on the positive, gives us an excitement to look towards even better things. Just like a plant. If you've ever seen a plant that you've put by the window, the leaves, over a short period of time, turn their focus and their whole being, their entity towards the light. The reason they do that is because they know this is where the energy comes from.
But when we pay attention to things that are not working out--the failures, the mistakes, the flaws that we have within ourselves, and then we also realize the things that we have or are not what we want, we get stuck. We get “de-energized”. We get depressed, we even feel demoralized at times.
So if you're stuck somewhere, wherever it is--a relationship, a project, something you're not able to do or finish, if you find yourself in that situation, why not focus on the positive? Why not turn your attitude and your whole being towards the light?
Make a list if you want to of the things that you have that are going for you and the things that are going very well, and then list the things that are not going well. It doesn't matter at the end of the day, which one is the biggest, but what you'll need to do after you've created that list is to make sure not to look or focus, or pay too much attention to the list of the negativity. By focusing on the positive principle, you're guaranteed to feel more energy, and you'll see, things will resolve because nothing lasts more than a moment.

Sometime ago, an famous violinist called Joshua Bell played in a subway station in Washington, DC. Now, he was playing his violin for about an hour. The night before, interestingly enough, he played in front of 50,000 people. They all acclaimed him as one of the world's most famous violinists.
Interestingly enough, however, the next day, he decided to play in the subway and no one knew who he was, and hardly anyone even bothered to stop listening to him. It's amazing.
In 45 minutes or so that he was playing, only about six people stopped. About 20 people, the story says, gave him a little money. He collected a total of $32 even though and unbeknownst to the people who were walking by, his violin was worth $3.5 million.
There it was, just before that day, tickets were being sold at $100 and he played in front of hundreds of people, so what happened?
Well, there's a concept called “a frame in art”.
Art needs a frame. It needs a frame to be art. In other words, people have to be told and guided so that they know what to appreciate.
You see, when they knew that this violinist was playing at a theater and they were told of who he was, and the media promoted it, they were interested and they paid $100 to go see him.
The art had a frame around it. But when they did not know, and there he was playing the same music, the same type of songs, the same harmonies in the subway, nobody knew and nobody cared, and all he raised was $32. Isn't that interesting?
It's interesting because you have to think about this in the frame of your life.
Has someone made you famous or someone said you are famous? See, we each need recognition. What's important to know, however, sometimes, you don't need to be acclaimed by others to know who you are. If you believe in yourself and you develop your talents, and use them to the best of the ability that you have, you don't need a crowd. You don't need recognition. You don't need a frame. You could be an artist and develop your own harmony, and be well worth it.

I recently read a story about a man whose name was Alvarenga. He was a 37-year old fisherman and working in Mexico. On November 18, 2012, he decided that he was going to go out to the sea and go fishing. What he did not know is that there was a storm coming which would change his life forever, and not only that, his friend who went with him would never come back. Throughout the tumultuous waves and tremendous hardship that he went through, this trip lasted 438 days. It wasn't until January 30th, 2014 that he finally came home.
Now, it was a cold rain on that day and he knew, possibly, that this may be a venture which would, at the end of his life, be the one that would change his ways and completely alter his thinking.
When he came to the shore and the last time that he actually got off this boat, he was left face down on the beach, and he said that he held a handful of sand in his hand as though it was treasure. He was discovered by a lone cop, somebody that found him in an island, and with him, although he was thousands of miles away from where he should have been, he was able to recover and go back to his life. Alvarenga had completed one of the most remarkable voyages in the history of seafaring. He didn't navigate or sail, or row, or even paddled; he just drifted. In order to alter his course he was forced to build a world of survival and he was extremely unlucky, terribly fortunate at the same time, and he finally got home. This is what life is all about. His lasted 438 days. Alvarenga may basically, the difficulties all compacted into one portion of his life. We each go through struggles, troubles, challenges, circumstances, and sometimes, very difficult tests, but just like he overcame them, you can overcome them and let it be a lesson for good.

A writer once said “You have to learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”
Quite amazing, isn't it?
Very interesting, indeed.
“But to have more, however, than you have got at this point, you have got to become more than who you are”.
So what does that mean and where does that lead us?
Well, at the core of success and in all aspects of self-development, there is nothing greater than the concept of self-discipline. Self-discipline is the key to action, success, growth, and all imaginative ways that you can enhance your life, in every aspect, emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual, in every kind. Interestingly enough, self-discipline is something that you can control by yourself.
How does self-discipline help and where does it come from?
Well, here's the way it works. As one writer said, “inch by inch, everything is a cinch”. You have to start with the little disciplines and you have to begin to string them together, one discipline next to the other. You start tackling just the many small disciplines and then slowly but surely, you'll master the bigger ones. For instance, if you want to get to work on time and you want to become more punctual, just get up 10 minutes or 15 minutes earlier. If you want to become rich, start developing a plan which will help you get there. If you want to become healthier, start writing up diets and exercise that you need to follow. Everything requires a plan. No plan is a plan to fail. By you paying attention to those details and setting up disciplines for yourself, you will see that everything affects everything else and every low standard will adversely affect the rest of your performance if you don't pay attention.
Why? When you do less than you're capable, slowly but surely, you will create a lack of self-esteem. This lack of self-esteem is the greatest deterrent to success and it will stop you from doing so many things in your life.
So the key is to focus on discipline. Slowly but surely, as it says, inch by inch, in growing that aspect, your self-discipline will become part of your life, will become part of what you're doing. It will help you. You'll develop great skills and the self-discipline will become part of your daily routines. They will become you and they'll get you to success inch by inch, guaranteed.

Have you ever heard the expression, “you must be happy with what you have while in pursuit of what you want”?
This is so important to realize and understand at all times.
What really matters to you, what you really feel should make you happy, and what kind of life you want to live. It's so important to know where you are. Sometimes, some of us have certain things that we live for or certain things that make us happy. To some people, it may be having more money. To others, might be buying a big home. To others, maybe a stable job or a great relationship, whatever the case may. It's interesting that if you research into happy people and you look at them closely, you will see that a key component of happiness is the ability to identify your true needs and then make it a priority to pursue it, whatever they are; it could be one need or multiple needs. That's the true to happiness. It is to lead a life that expresses our own values.
So lead a life where you feel confident that what you're doing has “matter” and “form”.
Now, this matter and form has to be substantial enough that it makes a difference not only in your life but it lets you know that this form and matter that you're living with does make a difference in the world. People want to know that.
It's interesting, there is a famous writer who wrote all kinds of books. He wrote with passion, and he said that “A life that produces authentic positive emotions in the doer is a life of pride, satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, harmony. That's what true life is.”
Now, that life is the one that a person can live, if they are truly productive. This productivity comes from the fact that the person knows that they're affecting the world. A life that expresses your values is the life that will make you not only happy, but will satisfy you in everything that you do.
Being productive means that you are able to make a difference in this world. But you have to know what your needs are, so first, identify what your true needs are, then make it a priority to follow them, and you will live a different life.

There's a woman by the name of Sarah Murray Jordan. She was a doctor, a gastroenterologist, and one of the four founders of one of the most famous clinic in Boston, Massachusetts. She not only had a medical degree, she also had a Ph.D.
What is interesting is that in those days, in the 1880s when she was born, it was not particularly accepted, that a woman would become a doctor. Not only was it not accepted, it was actually, to a certain extent, refuted by all other physicians who were themselves males.
Now, this is interesting because she was facing a situation and could have accepted it and resigned by not becoming a physician or, not accepted it and done something about, it which is what she did.
When you are faced with a situation, typically any kind of situation, whether it's a challenge or an obstacle, you have three options. One is to say, "I'm not going to deal with it. I'm not going to fight it. I'm going to accept it."
The second is to say, "I'm going to accept it but I don't like it,"
The third is to say, "I'm going to change it. I'm going to make that change and make that difference."
All of those options I have given to you each and every time an obstacle happens; something that is there blocking your way, either you accept it, challenge it, or change it at any given time. Those options are literally the best options you will be given throughout your life, to know that this is your path in life. Now, if you want to be happy, of course, you have to know what you can control and what you cannot control but you will need to also realize that there's some things you can change and some things you cannot. These things that you can change, go ahead and make that change and accept the rest, the way that it is. These issues often are not about moral issues or things that will change everybody's life but it's more so about what you want to do with it. It's knowing that on a daily basis, you have the options to choose, at any given time, and decide what do you want to do with it.
So when you're upset or you find yourself in these obstacles, think of these options and decide for yourself which one do you want. Once you make that decision, you'll find, that you're happier. Know also that you have the strength to do whatever it is that you want to do with it moving forward or not, and things will be so much easier in your life.

It's quite amazing how many people you meet at times who tell you “it's over; it's done; it's the end of that chapter; I am finished; it's the end of my book."
What does that all mean? That they're going to die? That there is no other solution? Why get all worked up? What's the point?
It's not the end of the story. The end of the story is when you actually pass away. Now, that is the end. And it doesn't mean it's the end of your story because if you watch what you do and you do it properly, you will create a legacy and the legacy will stay on, so it won't even really be the end of the story; it'll just be the end of your chapter in that book. Why not find yourself a way to remind yourself that it's just a short chapter? The end is not here yet. When the end comes, you won't be there anymore to talk about it. Now, wait until the end and you'll see.
And here is what happens when you wait, although you should not think about it: first, you will be able to do everything that you need to do and not be bogged down by the thought that this is the end or could be the end. Second is, you'll be happier during that time, not miserable at all. It's unnecessary. Think about that for a moment. You can do what you want to do. Why think about all the pain and difficult things that happened in your life? Why not think about the good things and think about the things that you want to do, the things that you can do? If you're in a happy phase, you can do so much more, knowing that you become invincible because everything in life is not permanent, remember that. It's just a chapter. As I said before in one of my other podcasts, it's just “a pothole in the road”, it's all it is. The chapter can end but the book won't; and you have the power to write that next chapter. You have the power at any time to turn that page, and if you wish because you're upset, tear up that page; just tear it up from the book and throw it away but don't let the end be there until you die.
You're not ready to die, none of us are and none of us want to die. So live your life to the fullest because it's not the end of the story yet.

There is a story about a writer by the name of Flannery O'Connor. She battled lupus, a terrible disease, but wrote about her life, and then she died unfortunately, at the young age of 39 years old. Now, at one point in time she was asked, "Why is it that you are writing in spite of your illness?" And she said, "Because I'm good at it."
You know, it's interesting. If you think about that, she battled her sickness but what she was good at, she used as an incentive to become better. It was an enticement for her to make things better.
When you use your own talent, you feel like you are invincible; you could do anything you want. Don't take your talents for granted. Take them and use them for the best of your abilities. Not only should you not envy others but, you should envy yourself for what you've got.
Years ago, when I was in private practice. I only treated one patient at a time. I didn't treat many patients. I just treated one at a time, and then I became a public speaker. It then occurred to me. How would I be able to do that? How am I going to speak in front of hundreds of people when all I have done for many years is speak just to one patient at a time? Would I be able to handle this? And the truth is, somebody said to me, "You're a good speaker. You should use your talent."
That memory of that compliment has stayed with me all those years, and today, thousands of people have attended my seminars, thousands of people have listened to my daily podcasts, so I am proud of that. If I can do it, of course you can do it. You see, a writer once said, "Success depends more on how you develop your talents, than on how many talents you have."
John Marks Templeton wrote "Am I doing the thing that I am best qualified to do?" That is the question that he advised everyone to ask. You should ask that question of yourself: are you doing the thing that you are best qualified to do? Now, that doesn't mean that I was not a good doctor. I practiced and I actually had a very successful practice but here's what it means: I had a talent and I wanted to develop it, but I wasn't sure that it was even there. Someone pointed it out to me and today, years later, we see how this talent has become so magnified. That's what you have to do. The more that you cultivate and you work on your full powers, the abilities that you have, the more you'll feel that life is worth living and every part of it will make you happier. That's a guarantee. You should try it and you'll see.

Some people believe that the reason why they are unhappy is because of their biochemistry. That may be true; I'm not going to discuss the medical implications of the medications or hormonal imbalances, or the chemical dependency that some people taking. That's not what this is all about. What I am going to discuss, however, is that although these biomechanical imbalances may be real, you have to ask yourself, what can you do to try to overcome some of these unhappy times? What should you do?
Now, whether or not it's a behavior that you have to learn or the innate biochemistry you have within you, you need to try your best to always have control of your thoughts. It's interesting: there were two university professors in Pittsburgh. They were psychologists, and in their experiments, they counted the ratio of good and bad thoughts in depressed people versus happy people. Quite interesting what they found. They discovered that depressed people have one bad thought for every one good thought, while non-depressed people, have two good thoughts for every negative one. Quite amazing.
So this means, depressed people, when improved, they moved to the two-to-one ratio while those who stay down, they remain at a one-to-one ratio. In other words, if you change your thoughts, your mood will also change. It's called “mind training”. Changing in the way that you think positive.
Here is a saying from a wise man who was literally one of the best I've ever heard, "Think good and the outcome will be good." So not only are your thoughts able to change the situation but help you to overcome any obstacle because of knowing where you're going.
Being healthy is a birthright, something that each one of us has been given. We want to feel good, we deserve to feel good, and we can. Thoughts are impossible to stop; no one in the world can stop thinking. Now, some people have hundreds of thoughts that go on at the same time, and some can think a little less, a few at a time. But the thinking process is constant. Why not channel all these thoughts towards positive, good, great, and successful directions? And you will change. Guaranteed.

At times, we have decisions that we have to make and we're not too sure which direction to go. Interestingly enough, the grief that we cause ourselves in not making the decision or second-guessing our self, can be quite difficult to handle at times. Not only that, as it says, it's the difference between a promise and a price. The price that we're going to pay if we don't keep our promise can be difficult. Regrets weighs literally tons while discipline weighs ounces. Think about that for a second.
Every decision we make is not only a choice for something but it could be a choice for something else; so we know, if there's going to be that choice to be made, why be stuck in that action? Just act it. Don't look to make the perfect choice, just a good one. What is a good choice? The one that you're coming up with. But you said, "I don't know, I'm stuck." Don't second-guess yourself. You have within you the ability and the power to overcome that challenge and that choice will be good. Focus on the things that will come up. Don't worry about what might and might not happen, and if you have a question and you don't know how to pursue it, then know that the Talmud says, "Why not discuss it with another?"
Share your doubt with someone and then from there, their experience, their knowledge might help you. Don't think about “only if this happens and that happens, will I be able to make a choice?” Think about what your goal is and think about the best way to get there. This will get you what you want. Don't regret, just act. The regret is what will set you back. The regret is what will hold you back and make you think that you're not able to do it. Don't let that bother you. You have to starve your fears and feed your dreams. The way to act today is just to move forward. You're going to make some mistakes, that's undeniable and equivocal. Yes, we know that. But everybody else does and everybody else recovers, and so will you. When you make a mistake, this is just an opportunity for you to step up to the plate and come up with a better alternative. That's all, it's as simple as that.
So the regret itself is what holds you back. The action is what will help you get through life in a successful way. Don't think of regrets. Don't think of the things that you cannot do. Think of the things that you can do and focus on just a portion of the action that you can take. Be disciplined enough, because the discipline weighs ounces but the regrets weighs tons.

Did you know that Michelangelo was one of the artists who lived years ago and he was able to imagine and literally come up with designs in his level which were beyond and above so many artists? Michelangelo, a famous sculptor, was asked how he saw what he saw. He said, "I did not create anything. I saw an angel set in the marble and all I did was chiseled around the angel and I set the angel free." Interesting, isn't it? Now, you have to ask yourself, in your life, you have to find the angel in the marble.
Now, most people, all they see is the marble. However, they need to see the angel in the marble, and the angel could be trapped.
There are two challenges about that. One is doubt. A person could say, "Is there an angel? I can't see him." And the second is, "It's hard work." That's the truth. But here's the beauty of it. Once you find the angel in the marble, to set him free, that's opening your life up for goodness.
So ask yourself, within you, within yourself, is there the marble or the angel? It's impossible to think that you're just a piece of marble. Within each and every one of us, is an angel, and these angels that we have within us are such good representation of what our life is supposed to be, and these angels help us create and dominate our life in order to lead us to the proper purpose of our mission, and this is what we have to do.
Now, if you're asking yourself, is there an angel? The issue is that the self-doubt creates within you a lack of trust, lack of belief, lack of understanding. It's self-destructive and it's useless. On the other hand, once you find the angel you may say, how will I liberate it?
How? Very simple. It's hard work, but once you set that angel free, you could do anything you want.
So don't be stuck in the marble of life. Don't be stuck. See the angel in everything that you do and liberate yourself to be free and fly away.

There's an interesting idea about helping others and helping them for an altruistic way. Let me give you an example.
What is the difference between an artist and a philanthropist? You see, the artist is driven to actualize his own talents. The philanthropist, on the other hand, is driven by the need of others. The artist wants to express himself. Artists just want to express what they have within themselves that makes them an artist. They don't care about the audience; it's about “my expression”, what I do, what I've created, and I want other people to see it, but it's about me. Me developing what I have seen to be good and what I believe to be different, unique, special, sophisticated, just mine.
The philanthropist, on the other hand, cares about the need of the other people. Not about giving from him, but that others should receive. It's not about him giving. Now, of course, there may be some people out there who want to become philanthropist so they could get recognition but above that, above and beyond that, what is it that the philanthropist want to do? He wants that others should receive. They deserve as much if not more and he wants them to receive so therefore, he gives.
Now, along the way, he may want also to have recognition but that's a separate point. The artist, on the other hand, wants to express himself, whether the audience believes in him or not, whether other people appreciate it or not; that's not his concern. Now, he may not get paid for the art that he has created, and in years past we see that many artists were not recognized while they were actually still alive. It's only after they passed away that their art was recognized. But the artist wants to express himself and does not need an audience.
So my question is, who would you like to be?
Most people think they are artists and what they do is unique and particular to themselves, and they want to show it to other people. They want to express themselves.
But ask yourself the question, is it about you or is it about others? Why not be the philanthropist? You may not have millions to give but philanthropy is not about giving millions it's about caring for others. Giving them what they deserve, and everybody deserves plenty of goodness, health, happiness, joy, laughter, all kinds of good things. So why not be a philanthropist and give others everything they need?

Recently, I heard about a Doctor John Nash. He was a professor of mathematics from Princeton University. He was actually a Nobel Prize winner in economics. Quite amazing. Interestingly enough, he suffered from a disease called Schizophrenia, and he thought in his mind that communists wanted to take his life pursuing him, and thanks to his wife, he was rehabilitated but that took many years.
Now, here's an interesting story. At the Nobel Prize ceremony, he gave a speech and he asked the question, "What is the summation of all mathematical equation?" And this is what he answered, he said “It was love”, and of course, during that time, he thanked his wife for all her support, the empowerment, the security in the life that she had given him.
Interestingly enough, after the speech they both leave and in the hallway, he has an attack; a schizophrenic attack. Now, this is, remember, at the pinnacle of his career and this attack takes him over. Now, his wife knew there was something wrong and asked him, "Is everything alright?" Of course, nothing was alright; he was being literally taken over in his own mental sickness, and he said, "Yes, everything is perfect," and then they walked out together. Now, what happened? At that moment, he was able to identify what was the demon and what was the human beings within himself, and he decided not to allow himself to be defined by the forces but by himself. So, he defined himself. Thus, rather than to give himself the luxury that he defined those forces, he would rather, decide that the forces defining him were not acceptable to him.
So the challenge is not that one has voices. It's not slavery, you should know. What slavery is that they define me rather than I define them.
In your own life, are you a slave to your own mind that tells you what to do or do you define yourself? You have the option in any given time to make that decision. Now, it may be harsh to say but this professor, a doctor, was schizophrenic and that was truly a disease, a debilitating disease, but in our own lives, we have similarities. Do we let the forces that entice us to do things which are improper define us, or do we define them? Are we in charge or are they in charge? Think about that. You must define yourself.

How do you fill up a glass? Well, one way is to, for some people, use a garden hose and the pressure that comes out from the garden hose is so powerful, that will actually make it overflow and never fill up the glass, or at least only a very small amount. Another way is to use a faucet. Even if it's dripping, one drop at a time. This will fill up the glass. So to fill up a glass, there are two conditions. Number one, that the glass has to be empty. Second, that the pressure of the water that you are applying to fill up the glass has to be moderated and gentle so that you can actually fill it up to the level that you wish.
This is the way the mind works: when you try to give a message to somebody else and you want them to take this message or receive the message and accept what you're saying, it's like filling up a glass. If you hit them with harsh words and tremendous pressure, and try to talk them into what it is that you believe, it won't work; it will overspill. It will overflow and it won't last. If the glass is too full, meaning if the person thinks that they know everything and they're not willing to listen to you at all, then there's not much that you can put in there because they're not ready to take in any messages. So for someone to be able to listen, they have to empty themselves. They have to be ready and willing to take in a message from someone else or something else. For someone to be able to give the message, they have to do it slowly, but certainly in a measured way, not too powerful and not too slow, and continuous but at the same time, gently. Interesting, isn't it?
Yet some people go with such a glass and try to fill it up but they never get it, never.
So when you give a message or try to impart a message to a friend of yours or someone that you know, someone that you care for, even though you may love them and you may want to speak with them with passion from the heart, as it says, the word 'that come from the heart, enter the heart’. Nonetheless, the delivery to the person receiving the message has to also be considerate. These two components must be looked at so that the message will be received, and will be accepted, will stay, and have an impact.
So remember, the way to fill up a glass requires those two conditions, and this is the way it can help others and be beneficial to others, and that will make a better world.

When you have a strong desire in your heart and something is pushing you to do things which are not appropriate or that you feel they are not good, and certainly not good to you or perhaps even to those around you, you have to ask yourself a question. Don't judge yourself at that moment, just ask the question: “Who am I” and “What is my purpose in this world?”
Who am I is deeper than why I am here because the why I am here, says “Is there anything real about me?” Do I have a function or a purpose in this world? That is obvious, something you need to know. If you don't know that, you need to realize it. Who am I is a better question than why am I.
The why is the mission, the who is up to you.
Within each person, there are two dividing forces and both of them are a paradox to each other. They fight to win over the person at any given time. One force tries to do the right things. That's the positive one. You might want to call that the Divine Soul or G-dly soul. The other one is the physical, you might want to call that the animalistic soul or the soul which is opposite to the G-dly soul, the Divine soul.
So now, once you know we have these two forces within you, meaning why am I,? Because you were created to come down to this world to have a mission to be accomplished by you, no one else; and no one else can do it better than you. Now, who are you? That's up to you. You can become the person that you need to be and you can become the best that you could be. That's up to you. You can become and at any given time, think to become and make it the now. You can decide and you come to realize that your purpose in this world, because of the two dividing souls, are the ones that you have to choose, so don't get upset, just get to work.
This is the beginning of transformation. Why not look into what you have, accept it, and make the changes necessary to be the best that you can be? Accept yourself and become the best. You deserve it.

There's a story of a person who passed away and when they got to heaven, they cried in front of the Creator saying that they didn't get what they wanted while they were on earth. The Creator asked that person, "But you didn't ask for these things," and it occurred to that person that the remark was true.
In order to receive, you must ask.
Here is the beauty about prayer: asking for help is something that human beings have a right and the intelligence to do. So when you ask, first know that you have to ask with intelligence. Don't ask for things that are ridiculous; ask for good things.
Now, you know what that means, and don't ask while mumbling; be clear, be specific. Ask intelligently and ask for what you want and know how long it should be, how much, when, what size, what kind, what color. Define it. Know in your mind what you're asking for and ask.
Well-defined goals are like magnets and the better you chisel them, the stronger they pull.
Second, make sure you have faith in what you're asking but not faith only; faith and trust. Trust begins when faith ends, and faith starts where intelligence stops. So know where you're going with that. Believe like a child, understand like an adult, and pray for what you want with the knowledge, faith, and trust that you will be answered.
Children can do anything because they have just these two concept, faith and trust. They don't understand most of these things but to them it's pretty simple, and they pretty much get what they want. Their curiosity is really a virtue and it's such a blessing; they believe they can do anything. A child will say, "I'm going to become a doctor," “or this, or that”, nothing stops them, nothing.
So be like a child when you're asking but since you're an adult, think intelligently and ask for the things that you need, ask for help.
The Creator is here to listen to you and help you, but if you don't ask, how can you get? How can you be answered? What will you get? What you will get, at any time is a question. Know that you deserve so much and you will get it because you are good.

I'm sure you've heard the term “perfectionism”. They are called OCD, over Compulsive Disorder. Everything has to be perfect, everything has to be done exactly this way and not that way. The truth is, perfectionism is a good thing when you're trying to prepare a paper. You want it be good, you want to be perfect.
Now, to be stuck by the fact that there are some issues with it, that will be something different.
Perfectionism is a person who doesn't accept a mistake but it's also a person who never gets started because they think that they cannot be perfect. A person who says, "I can't finish this because it's not perfect yet." That's not perfectionism, that's procrastination. The person who procrastinates, never begins or ends a task, yet they call that “perfectionism”. They say they can't finish because it needs so much more for it to be perfect, or they can't start because they're not ready because otherwise, it won't be perfect. That's just simple procrastination.
They just don't want to get going and they don't want to finish the task It's as simple as that. Perfectionism is the ability to look at things and accept them for what they are, and know that this is the best that you can do.
For instance, a three-year-old takes a piece of paper and doodles on it, and they draw whatever it is and then tell their parent, "This is the sunset that we saw yesterday at the beach." Now, how would the parents respond? "That is so beautiful," "That is so perfect," "Yes, I can see that."
Now, why is that we accept this from a child especially knowing that this did not represent the sunset at all, not in any way, shape, or form, yet we accept it? Why? Because we realize that in the child's mind, this was perfect. This is what it appeared in his mind; this is the way it looked and to him, that was perfect. That is what perfectionism should be also for the adults: that in your mind and in your actions, you tried your best, and if you made a mistake, it's part of the learning, it's part of the curve to grow, to enhance, to embellish, to change.
By changing that, we'll make it better.
G-d, it says, Sees on the inside. We look on the inside and outside. Why not focus on what's inside? If you try your best and you know you did your best, accept it. That's perfectionism. Let the outside think what they want. Now, at the same time, you got to be reasonable and know that you've done the right thing, and don't be stuck at all.

I was speaking to a friend once who said that they regretted, not having spent more time with their family members.
I ask you the question: Are you missing or regretting? See, there's a big difference. Missing, means you wish those times would come again because you enjoyed them and you cherish them. You keep them as a memory, something which will stay with you at all times. Regretting, is different. It is when you feel as though the opportunity passed and you were never able to make up what you needed.
Now, that is not good. Regret is negative; missing is positive. Regret brings you back; missing moves you forward. Regret makes you sad; missing makes you happy. Regret shows the difficulty that you were not able to overcome; missing means the good things and the happiness that you were able to create. There is a difference.
So don't regret anything. You could say, you missed it. For instance, I miss my father. He passed away. I don't regret the fact that I had a good life with him. I don't regret the fact that I saw him and all the memories that I had with him, and I don't regret anything that I did or didn't do. I do miss those times when I could speak with him, but I miss them only in memories of the things that I did with him, not as a regret; and that's what life should be.
To be happy, drop the words “if only” this and “if only” that. Why not change them with, “next time”?
“Next time”, I will do this or I will do that.
Don't regret what you could have done. Take the memories of your past and use them as an incentive to change your future so you can have a better present. Past experiences are memories that are in your heart and mind for you to be able to create future goals and opportunities for the future, but you can use them as an incentive today, an impetus to change your life and make it better.

There's a concept called “negative self-talk”. Something that we use to bash ourselves; something that we blame ourselves with or carry as guilt because of something we were not able to do at the time. And that is real; people find themselves stuck in situations. They can't move forward, they realize they made a mistake or there's something they can't do, and they say, I just can't do it. I messed up. My life is miserable. I will never be able to do the right thing. I will never be able to move forward.
Here's some advice: if you hear yourself thinking, I can't do this. I am stuck. I will never be able to do that, whatever it is, wherever you are, stop and ask yourself, in the last 30 or 60 days, can you recall two or three things that you did if that were good, that were right? Can you recall anything like that? Is there anything at all that would bring this to your mind at all? And you should be able to say yes to this, and now, these things have come back to you, and yes, you made a mistake and things were touchy at times but you overcame it and you were able to do better. It's not a good thing at any given time to be self-criticizing, to have low self-esteem; it's not normal, it's not right, it's not good. A chronic self-criticism or negative self-regard is dangerous. It's dangerous in all aspects and it's not good at all.
Each and every person deserves to live a good life and in peace, externally and internally, and the more you think about these things, the better the ability to overcome some of these challenges.
So next time you find yourself stuck, stop to think, is it everything that you can't do right or just some of the things? And you're right, there are some things that you won't be able to do for whatever reason. Some people are better at some things than others. Some people, for instance, can know how to do certain things much better. They can learn faster. They can recall things better but it doesn't make them any better than you. It just makes it so that that is an advantage to them. That's all it is. So negative self-talk is destructive and you need to stop it now.

Here is a disease, a condition which I believe must be avoided at all costs and that is envy. You see, to be envious of others means taking away the right from your life to be happy. We're all stuck in that concept at times. We're going around assuming that others have a better life, more money, they're happier, they have more of everything materially, spiritually, physically, socially, economically, in every aspect. This envy takes away from you the opportunity to live a truly genuine unadulterated life. Why be envious?
First of all, do you know that these people have? What they think they have or what you think they have? Do you really believe that? What is it that you think they have that you don't have? You may say, "Well, they have a better car than I do. I can't afford that car." So what? If you have transportation or this is what you've got now, why not enjoy it? And you don't know that the item or this car, what is it that they have is better than yours that is what brings them happiness. You see, if you were to ask these people, and this has been shown over and over again, are they truly happy? The answer is, not really. Happiness is not something you pursue. Happiness is not an experience. Happiness is not something you wish for. Happiness is a state of being of where you are. Being envious of others robs away from your time, from your life, from your opportunities to be who you need to be. You don't get to enjoy the things that you've got, continuously being envious of what others have, and if you were given that, would it be better? Probably not because that's not what happiness is and that's not what it leads to.
Happiness is knowing what you've got and being happy with who you are. It's being content with what you've got in pursuit of what you want and that may last forever.
Here's something else you need to be cognizant about: you may never get some of these things that you wish for. For instance, you may want to have a private jet . In your lifetime, you may not be destined to have a private jet. So what? If you can get to a destination that you wish to, the jet is not going to make a difference; so know that life is not being envious of others who have. It's being happy with what you've got at the time that you live now.

I wanted to do a research about geniuses, those who are really nice by the world for being special, different, and clearly defined as geniuses. And it is interesting. The study I found, stated geniuses had routines, things that were common among these special people.
One, is that they had a private workplace. This is something that they kept to themselves, a place where they developed their geniuses, in just one little area.
The second, is that they took a daily walk. Interesting, isn't it? These very famous geniuses; Charles Dickens, Beethoven, all these people, actually took a daily walk and made it a point every single day to go out on a walk.
Third, was they had a concept called “accountability metric” meaning they measured what they did and continuously checked their metrics. In other words, how much did they get accomplished and then moved forward. This accountability gave them the aptitude and the knowledge of where they were.
Fourth, there was a clear divide between the important work and the busy work. They were able to discern what was really important and what was just busy, things that didn't make that much of a difference, the difference between the major and the minor.
Here is number five: they had a habit of stopping when they were on the roll, not when they were stuck. If they weren't on the road and knew that things were moving, they would take a break. But when they were stuck somewhere and they couldn't find an answer, they kept at it over and over, and they persevered until they got the answer.
Last but not least, in their list was a supremely supportive partner. They had someone at their side that supported them at all time, that was there, that recognized their strength and helped them electrify their days, nurture their passion, and help them refresh their mind; somebody that was able to replenish their enthusiasm and remove any doubt at all and helped them also resolve their dreams and achieve success. Quite interesting, isn't it? Why not think about these steps and learn from these geniuses on how to better your life?

I remember when I was younger that my father, bless his soul, used to work with me and help me with my homework and some of the things that I needed. As I became older in the teenage years, I was sent away to school. For many years, I only came home on a sparing time because there were just not enough means for me to go back and forth, yet I always appreciated those times. I appreciated every single moment and I remember.
Life is all about remembering, memories of good things, memories of opportunities, memories of thoughts, of things that we once lived with. I remember my father always being there for me even though most of my life, I did not live with my father. I remember what he was to me and what he represented to me. Remembering means having engraved in your heart, the goodness and the opportunities that you were once given. Remembering doesn't mean making up stories or hoping that it was better; remembering means living with what you've got and appreciating what you once had.
The person you are today is what you've attracted by your actions, accept them. If they're not exactly the way you wish them to be or you wish to make a difference for your own children, then make it a difference. Personally, I am happy with the way that I was raised. I have nothing but good things, good thoughts, and good memories of my family. Now, that doesn't mean that this was enough. I wanted to make it even greater for my own children and grandchildren. So, we can change that. Once you remember who you are and you remember where you come from, it's easy to draw from those experiences and you could be dynamic; you could be different, you could achieve with confidence all of the goodness and all the blessings that you wish. You can do it with grace, with kindness, with trust, and you can be authentic. You can attain the ultimate goodness and confidence that the world that was given to you can be enhanced by your actions. Now, that means that you have to know who you are but always remember what you've got and what you've become. In pursuit of that, be careful to become even greater and share it with others. I remember.
Do you remember? If not, then create memories for your children.

People often confuse the difference between humility and pride. They believe that if they are humble, they will be naive and that they will be bullied around. That's not what humility is; they also believe, at times, that pride is arrogance. That is also not pride is.
Let me explain the difference between humility and pride.
See, a person too often focuses on the frailty and the smallness and they become stagnant, unmotivated, and at the same time, they don't have the self-belief and the strength of character or of motivation to keep and persevere in what they're doing. That is not humility or pride; that is just a person who's stuck where they are. When you get too caught up in yourself and you lead but you have a false sense of power, you think you are invincible; that's also the strength of character that you have. It can easily turn into arrogance. That is not pride. Humility is knowing who you are, knowing your capabilities and accepting them.
Pride means knowing that you can grow, that you can become better and with what you know, you can help others. Pride is the knowledge that what you have has been given to you as a gift for you to share with the whole world, to make this world a better place to be for everyone.
Humility is knowing that what you have you didn't invent; it was given to you as a gift; then use it properly. That is the difference between humility and pride, not arrogance, not above and beyond anything else of what is yours.
So use your talents, use your abilities, use your patience and the things that you have to help others. As it says, “if you help others get what they want, you will get everything you need”, and “if you help others with their needs, you'll have everything you want”.
That's what life is all about. You can teach another person on how to live, but can’t you teach them how to be happy. Happiness comes from within themselves. But if you show them by example the person that you are and you are humble and proud of what you've got and you share it with others, they will learn from you. That is what it's all about.

We often focus on, in our lives, about a “closed door”. We say, this is the end of it. What am I going to do now? I lost my job. I can't finish this project. My spouse doesn't like me. My friends despise me. My parents want to disown me, and on, and on.
For many of us, it's easy to get caught up in what we can't have, can't do, what the person we wish to be in or not. And it's extremely disheartening to pull our heart and soul into something and then find a brick wall to stop us and make it so clear that we can't do that thing, whatever that is. Isn't that amazing?
And we focus on this door which is also closed and it gets us absolutely nowhere.
Now, here's something that you need to know: all endings are also beginnings. You might not know it at the time but the fact that it is an ending process, it's the beginning of something new. Have you ever heard of Helen Keller? She was blind. Now, Helen Keller could have spent her life being lonely while the fact that she was lying, she was deaf, and she was mute, yet instead, she attended college. She lectured and help so many people who also are blind. Throughout the world, people recognized her for what she did, she had lectures, she developed all kinds of concepts and systems. And her house, even though it burned down and the book that she had been working on for years was destroyed, she rewrote it. This was all about opening a new door.
You see, that is what this concept means. When a door closes, it's not so much that now another one opens. When the door closes, it means that it didn't really close; it actually opened wider.
Happiness can be defined as the wholehearted willingness to seek and find that door that needs to be broadened and opened even more, again and again, to live your life the way that you want to.
So open the door; don't think of a door that’s being closed. No doors are ever closed, and you're never given a test that you can't overcome, remember that. You're never put in a situation that you cannot always make better, never. Everything that comes to you is for a purpose and that purpose is for you to learn, to grow, and change not just yourself but the environment and the people around you. So welcome with kindness, honesty, and happiness the situations that you're in and change them for the better. Keep the door open.

I read a story once about a very well-to-do king who lived in a beautiful palace. Once, he brought one of his subject, and asked him to work for him. He said however, that “instead of you working out in the field sweating in the heat and enduring the harshness of the weather outside, why not work inside my palace?” The king placed him in a large empty room, gave him the necessary tools, and said: "Just act as though the movements that you're doing outside are the same. Act as though you're cutting wheat, and I'll pay you the same amount of money."
Now, the servant was just enamored with the wonderful thought and happy to serve such a wonderful king. Why not? This would be so great.
So he came the next day to work grabbed his tool, and acted as though he was cutting wheat in this vast empty room.
After a short while however, he couldn't take it anymore. He went back to the king and said, "I can't do this." The king asked him why, he replied, "First of all, I don't see any results and so what is the point? I want to go back to the field and I want to work."
Here's the moral of this lesson. To be given any things for free, is called a “bread of shame”, things which we get for no reason. It would be useless.
It's amazing how many people have won the lottery and don't have a better life after they won the lottery. Just research it, you'll see. Why is that? Because when they were given the money, the gift they receive was a gift, but it wasn't earned and because of that, they can't appreciate it.
In life, we all want to feel as though what we've earned was done with dignity, integrity, honesty, and with sweat; then we could appreciate it. It's the result of our work. Then we are pleased with what we do just like this peasant in the king's palace. He couldn't see any results. He didn't see any productivity coming. It seemed like it but at the end of the day, he could have gone and just gotten his pay and not spent any other day working, but that was not what he felt was appropriate or reasonable.
So know that when you are working, you have the ability to earn a living but also become the person that you need to be, one who is productive, one that changes the world, one that makes a difference. It may be hard, but it's worth it because you become productive. You've made not only changes in this world but you've become better. So be careful in pursuit of what you want, to be the person that you want to become, and you can do it because you deserve it.

There is a story in a Talmud about a man who noticed that he was sitting by a stone, where there was a drop of water that kept on falling onto that rock. Those drops were unified but consistent. As he looked closer, he saw that in the rock, actually, the water had made a dent, a hole. It then occurred to him that this rock which was solid and made up of elements of total constriction allowed the water to make a hole in it. Yet water is so soft and almost evaporates if you leave it anywhere long enough. So, how could it be? And so he thought, if the rock itself could have a hole in it made by water, his mind, he was at the time in his 40s, could also absorb knowledge, wisdom, and he could therefore change himself.
And so he did. He became one of the greatest men at the time, and wrote and elucidated on thousands of ideas and concepts. As a matter of fact, it is told in the Talmud, that he had over 24,000 students. Quite amazing, isn't it?
You see, that is the power of the mind. The mind itself can stretch at any given time, and water which is the source of life, knowledge and understanding, can be acquired by anyone.
So regardless of how old you are, whether you are starting your journey in this world, you are in the middle of it, or you think you are close to the end of that, you can become better. You can acquire as much knowledge as possible. Your mind will stretch, accept, and learn anything that you put in it.
Now, make sure that what you put in it, is positive, good, and substantial. Otherwise, who knows what kind of person you'll become? That would be detrimental. Why not use these concepts and know that since your mind is so powerful, it has the power to accommodate and know that you can change, why not make that difference? Learn, grow, read, speak to people, exchange ideas and let your mind continuously wander in the vast majority of the knowledge that exists in this world and become a better person to make this place a better world.

There is an interesting concept about the difference between water and fire. You see, the two cannot quite live together; let me explain.
If water comes too close to fire, it will extinguish it. If the fire on the other hand is too hot, then it will make the water evaporate. So how do these two live together? There is a way they can live together. If you put the water in a pot and there is a metal separating them both, then the fire can go under the pot and heat up the water. Isn't that interesting?
Now, from those two antithetical entities, there is now peace between them and they can live together, and the fire is helping the water become boiled so that you can use it for different things: to take a bath, to drink a cup of tea or coffee, to do whatever you wish with it.
You see, what that it needs, however, is that “separation”. So let me give you perhaps some advice, if I may.
Between a couple, there always has to be a time of separation. One represents water and the other one represents fire. Men and women are very different from each other and when they come close to one another, they try, many times, unfortunately, to extinguish the other and they want to take over, they want to be “in charge”. Let me just say that there is a way to work together and, that is to use the concept of the pot. Make it a separation between the water and the fire so that there is a line. That separation is called “respect”. By respecting the other person, both the water and the fire can live together. This is what the metal pot does: it creates a separation and that separation allows for both of these elements to live with one another and work together towards the betterment of life.
Same thing with a relationship. When you are with someone and they are opposite of you, which typically they are because it says, “opposite attract one another”, you should create a separation, a boundary. This boundary will help both of you unite and be together in a respectful way with love, kindness and patience. You will be able to work together and be happy with one another. Not only that, the results of that relationship will really become as marvelous and beautiful as it is when the water is heated by the fire. So that's what everyone needs: a separation which creates integration.

Have you ever thought about your life and what is stopping you from being the person that you wish to be?
A writer once wrote, "The decision to be happy is actually the decision to stop being unhappy." Interesting, isn't it?
At every single turn in your life, in every single moment, you have the opportunity to choose. Happiness is a decision; it's up to you. Now, you could be blocking yourself though and you can work on some of the most common interferences in your life. This includes, worry, regret, disappointments, conflicts that you see and discontent. You could say that you're lacking strength or capabilities, or you don't have the passion, or things are ambiguous. You could blame it on the fact that you're not successful or that you have doubts; that your dreams are not coming through; that your vision is being blocked, and that the goodness that you expect or feel you deserve is just not there. You could think of all these things and you draw to whatever you spend your time thinking about.
If you think about good thoughts, then good things happen.
Now, you may say you have tried that before and it doesn't work; then try again. The ability to be happy at all times is within you. Happiness is a feeling; it's a state of being, not a location, an environment, an opportunity, or even at any time, an association. Happiness is where you are at all times. Happiness is what you decide it to be. Happiness is a decision and you can't make that decision whenever you wish; so why not draw from that and get rid of all of these ambiguities? Why not choose to see the good in your life, the things that are so positive?
If you can open your eyes and see, that means you have vision. If you can get up from the chair and walk, that means that you now have the power to move around. And if you can eat and taste food, that means you can live for many more years to come.
Why not look at all of this and use it to your advantage? Use it as an opportunity to become the person that you wish to be; use it as the opportunity for you to do whatever you wish at any given time and be the person that you wish to be. Happiness is a decision and it's yours to have.

I once read a story about two people who were stuck on a mountain. One immediately worried and started thinking, how will we get down? What will we do for food? How are we going to live? What will happen to my family? While the other immediately focus on the beauty of what was around. That person was able to look and admire, and appreciate the breadth of the amazing scenery.
This is quite interesting, isn't it?
At times we have the opportunity to look at things and recognize the beauty, recognize the goodness. Others, beat themselves up and think of the negative aspect: what is going to happen? What will be my future? What if I die?
It's a deep thinking that we have within ourselves. So we can focus on the positive and live a better life.
But then you ask, what about the negative? I'm not saying that you should forget the negative, ignor the challenges, or the grief that you're living with right now; I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that, I understand that this situation that is occurring right now “is what it is”. Make the best of it if you can, but it's a matters of view; it's up to you.
You can look at it as a doom and gloom day or you can look at it as an opportunity for you to grow, to change, to become better, and this possibility of experiencing the joy of being alive and appreciating what you have rather than regretting what you don't have. Enjoy the scenery, enjoy where you're at right now. The difficulty of our lives at times is a time constraint, something that will last only “a moment”. Look at all the possibilities of things that have happened in the past. Think of them, think of how many things actually were there at that time, and if you think about it, did it last? It didn't.
That's what life is all about, its experiences, a series of them, some better than others. One thing is for sure, however, is that it all passes at times. So it's a matter of views on whether or not you will enjoy the scenery or cry about the possibilities that may not even happen. It's all up to you.

Everyone is looking for happiness. No matter who we are and in what circumstances, this is what each person in the world is looking for. This is what we long for.
Happiness is the experience of the sheer joy of being alive. Now you see, it's such an important value that the Declaration of Independence identifies its Pursuit as one of only three undeniable rights. Isn't that amazing?
You think about that.
Now, most people think of happiness as being a time constraint concept: “if” I had this and “if” I had that, and “if only” this would happen. The “if-only” is the condition to the happiness.
Happy people are accepting of themselves, and they don't spend precious time in regret. They accept others. They accept what they have and they realize who they are.
There is a study reported in a journal in neurology which found that-happy and older people are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Isn't that amazing? Studies also found that-folks who are happy are less likely to die in a premature way or even develop colds at times. Quite interesting, isn't it?
The search of happiness is something that all of us go through. Happiness is something, however, that must be experienced in that moment. It's not something that happens all the time. There are times that we're not as happy, but we can be content. Happiness is a feeling that arises because of the results of the things that we think about. You have the choice to either hold onto the actions that you're doing which are good and increase these thoughts of positive things, or think the other way. You can focus on what “you're stuck” on or “how free you are”. You could take the opportunity to do whatever you wish around you and accept the miracles of life, and truly enjoy in the moment of every single day’s little happenings.
The Declaration of Independence was written by very wise people and these people had an understanding of what life was all about. They came to this country with no notion that there will be a better world. But they knew that it was the right of every single citizen that was given to be happy. Pursuit of Happiness is something that is important and it's a right. Use it well because you deserve it.

It is quite interesting to see how the world has evolved and keeps on evolving in that direction. Our wonderful world has become a consumer society and it hasn't stopped. We want more stuff and whatever we can get, if we don't get it, the media, the advertising, and the companies out there try to make us feel bad that we don't have that extra stuff. We need the latest computer, the latest phone, the latest car, the latest gadget, the latest clothes, the latest of anything, and it never stops. There's always more. There's always greater. All of it is there to entice us and there is a lack of nostalgia that if we don't have it, then we will not be satisfied.
Quite interesting, isn't it? And it doesn't stop.
Well, this will certainly cause us never to be happy. We're being bombarded daily with messages that make us feel miserable unless we consume more. It's an attempt for all these companies and projects out there, to make us feel as though we are not the people we need to be, or the person we need to live, because we don't have all the stuff.
So "I need more stuff" is not a concept that is human. It's a concept that is actually ridiculous. You don't need more stuff.
I've heard a saying, that “It is better to be happy living in a shack on the beach than living in a mansion, in a place that you're not happy with.”
Think about that for a second. Think about what you've got. Are you satisfied with those things? If you have enough clothes and there is food on the table, and you have a comfortable bed, shouldn't you be very happy? Of course, there's work and there are issues and people, and accounting, all kinds of things you have to deal with on a daily basis; but that is not where happiness is. Happiness is knowing who you are and becoming the best person that you can be, and changing yourself to become better way. Be careful who you become in pursuit of what you're trying to get. What matters more is not what you've got but who you become. What matters most is how many good deeds you have, how many good things you do, that's what matters.

There is something which is in my own ways, a disease and this is my interpretation of it. I think many other people agree with me and that is to “envy others”.
To be envious of others of what they have or the things that you should have, brings about such animosity in you, looking at them and saying, "How come they have that? Why don't I have it? I'm envious of what they have."
If you look at your friends and they have more than you do, there's another question you need to ask: “Are they happy with what they have?”
And this is the question that you will have to ask yourself: in pursuit of what you want to get, will you be happy at the end when you do get it? That's a question to ask. Think about it.
There is a way that wise and experienced people have told us to react, and that is you should be envious of those who know more than you, those who have knowledge, understanding, wisdom. For that, you should be envious. But you should pity, and you should accept the fact that there are many people who are less fortunate than you in material world; meaning that if you see someone who does not have a lot, have pity for them, give them a blessing, think of them positively and know that you have plenty, at least more than they do.
So if you ever feel like someone else has more than you, ask yourself, is it materialistic or is it because of the wisdom that they show and the wisdom that they have? If it's because of their wisdom, then you should envy them. That way, you work yourself up and work hard at the fact that you need to grow spiritually, mentally, psychologically, you should gain greater wisdom by learning more and doing whatever you can to become a better person.
But if you see someone who has less than you, realize how fortunate you are in having so much more. This way you'll always be content.
Don't be envious of others because of what they have. First, you don't know if they are happy. Second, you don't know what they did to deserve that. So why not accept it? Be happy for them; be joyous for the fact that they have and look at them not with discontent but with true genuine, unadulterated happiness, and let them be with those blessings. You, then will be blessed.

Negative self-talk is something which is truly burdensome for everybody. Think about it for a moment. What that means is that in your mind, for whatever reason, you say, "I can't do this. I'm such a loser. I'm not good at this. I've made so many mistakes. Oh my goodness, I have two left hands. I'm not able to do this in the proper way. I will never reach that goal." On and on, and on, continuously putting yourself down.
Why would you do that? You'll say, "Well, it's a fact, it's the truth. Look, I can't do it." The truth is, if you are given a task and something comes to you, it's not a haphazard circumstance. It's not just a random happening. It is because you can do it. It is your opportunity to shine. This is your ability to do what you can do for this world. Now, you might impress yourself, but not if you keep on talking negatively. This negative self-talk can only be detrimental and destructive. It will turn you into a catastrophe instead of a remarkable person. By saying all these things, you're only making it worse for yourself.
Why not say, "Surely, I can do this. And if I can't succeed I can try again." This can be done over and over again.
Speaking negatively about yourself, self-criticism in a chronic way or negative self-regard is not a good thing. It's not a good thing at all ever; and it's not necessary. Each and every person throughout this whole world deserves to live in peace and in love, both in a physical and spiritual way. The more we learn to overcome the negativity in our mind and overcome this inability to think positively about ourselves, the more we will fill our world with happiness and our hearts and our minds will blossom with goodness and strength, beauty, joy, and success. You will see that if you want to.
Negative self-talk is never ever a good thing. Get rid of it, stop it, and when it comes and it creeps up, ask yourself, “what if someone else was doing this about themselves or saying it about themselves, what would you do?”
You will actually tell them, why do you speak negatively about yourself? Of course, you can do it! You would try to raise them by lifting them and indeed, when you lift others, you, yourself rise. So don't just give it as advice or a piece of mind or as a good word to another. Do it to yourself as well and get rid of all the negative self-talk.

Interestingly enough, there are people who live in ways where they see danger everywhere. You tell them, "By the way, have you checked your email?" And they respond, "Well, I can't check it now because I don't have the right access around the people that I'm in"
When you ask them, "What does that mean?" They say, " Well, I don't want anyone to see my password."
Have you gone and logged on to some of the projects you have? These people would often answer: "Well, I can't do this now because I don't want anyone else to see it."
Or they hear news that and right away, they think that it's a most likely terrible news.
They see things, and they think of the worst. They see danger everywhere in their lives, in the lives of others, and everything that they do is cautiously done. Everything brings harm to them.
Now, whether it's the body or the mind, it goes in the “state of emergency”.
Interestingly enough, there's a concept in science that's called 'fight or flight.' What it does, is helps us take action for our own survival. That is when a danger is there, we immediately have to react. The problem, however, is that our brain sometimes, or at times, sees things in an unreal way; and that's what's going on with us. The emotions that we attack or the emotions that we think about make us see danger everywhere when in reality, it's not a danger. It's just a warning sign. It's just an opportunity for you to be able to overcome that issue and it has to do a lot with the way that we're structured; the way that we were built, the way that human beings are physically and emotionally. It is the ability for us to overcome anything.
So, am I really in danger? What's the best way to respond to any of these situations?
Now, I'm not talking about being in a dark alley and somebody comes at you with a knife and you're alone. That's not what we're talking about here. Just seeing danger by just opening up an email and reading some news or being pulled over by a policeman and thinking that you've committed a crime, there's nothing wrong with that.
If you get pulled over, accept or deny what the officer has to say and deal with it. If you have to pay a ticket for something that you've done, then pay it. It's as simple as that, but it doesn't put you in a dangerous situation.
There is “not danger everywhere”; there's actually goodness everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and see it. You have to analyze the situation and realize that what is around you are signs of warnings and often, signs of blessings. The warnings are things that you should be reminded to stay away from. The blessings are the things that you should emphasize. So don't look at the danger everywhere.

The pursuit of happiness is a subject that many people discussed over the last several thousand years. Now, I learned recently that according to the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, it is an unalienable right. In fact, it says by one of the authors, the desire to be happy is at the root of all human endeavors. It doesn't come in the form of an ideal job or a perfect mate, or winning a lottery ticket, not at all. It is that once you get rid of expectations that are not real, but rather focus on what you've got, the authentic happiness can be yours.
It's interesting, isn't it?
The fact that it is, according to the Declaration of Independence a “right”. So everyone has that right, as a citizen of the United States of America, and it is written in the Declaration of Independence to be happy.
Why would the forefathers, of this beautiful country make that a “right”?
Very simple. People have been prosecuted all over the world for many years, for various reasons. Now, it could be because of differences, bigotry, ethnicity, war, power, or all kinds of reasons.
Many of these things are simply silly. Ask any child why there would be a war and they just would say, "I don't understand it. Why don't these people just share or at least talk it out?"
Children see life as an opportunity for them to be able to share everything that they have. Now, they may have issues about their toys, but once they're spoken to quietly and peacefully, they understand it. Adults can't. Too many things are in their way.
So I ask you this question. If this is an undeniable and unalienable right, why is it that so many people are not happy?
Expectations of happiness often are geared towards things that are not within a realm of possibility. A person says, "I'll be happy only if."
Why not something that you have right now?
If you're healthy and you've had a meal today, that should be a cause for total happiness. Everything else maybe superfluous.
Think about it.

Imagine what a very wise man said “A soul may descend to this world and a live 70 or 80 years in order to do another person material favor or perhaps even a spiritual one”. This is quite an interesting statement. Can you imagine that?
Knowing that you are here down on Earth for a certain amount of time and let's say, 70, 80, 90 years, however many years a person lives today, and that is to do one favor to another person.
Isn't that an awesome responsibility?
The ability to see the world every single day as an opportunity for you to do better.
So imagine if you could open your eyes to see only the good in every single person no matter who they are, no matter what they do, that's what you see. Imagine that you could see the positive in every circumstance and when these things happen, that's what you see. It's something that is positive and that you can turn into a greater opportunity. And imagine the opportunity that you see, is possible for every single challenge. Whereas as people may see a difficulty or something they might not be able to handle, you turn this into an opportunity to make it better.
To live a life of expectations for the goodness of the world. To live a life of fulfillment. To do everything that you can within your power and your abilities to change and transform everything around you: the environment, the people, yourself included. Of course, at times you're not going to succeed but not because you didn't try but because it's too early.
You see, sometimes we do things and we don't see any results and we may say, "What's the point? What's the use? There are no changes. Things are all the same." But they're not.
It may take 10, 20 years until the change actually is revealed to everyone but it'll be there, just like a seed that you plant; you may not see the fruit of that tree today because it's still too early but eventually, the seed will germinate and grow and create roots and a small trunk will emerge. It will grow even bigger and stronger, and it will have branches and foliage, and then fruits, and that may take quite a few years; but at the end, it was all about the work that you did and you knew you could do it.

A wise man once said, that “Every single thing one sees or hears is an instruction for his conduct in the service and his mission in this world”.
This is the idea of service, to comprehend and discern in all things or in all ways in which to serve to the mission.
Now, many people would argue, saying, “what is really my mission?”
Your mission in this world since you were born, is very simple. It is to be the best that you can be by using all your abilities, all your talents, all the things that you know to make this place a better place. This could be by speaking, perhaps writing, cooking, singing, walking, working, whatever it maybe.
If you are good at something, that talent was given to you for a specific reason. This ability to do whatever it is that you have, is a talent given to you for one specific reason: to use the most of it in this life and change the way the world sees all of the things that they see.
By knowing this, you will know that everything that you see and everything that you hear, or that anyone hears, at any given time, whatever it is, is a lesson for you to learn from. It is something to remind you of what you are supposed to do.
So you could be walking down the road and all you see is a branch, and what you hear is a bird sitting on that branch singing. Now, this may seem somewhat simple. However, if you pay a close attention to the reason why at that very specific moment as you were walking, that bird caught your attention and you were seeing it perched on a branch singing, now you may say, "What is it doing there? The bird is so pretty."
This is the ability to appreciate what you see and what you hear and use it for yourself as a learning process to become a better person and change the world. In this instance, that may mean that you, yourself has to bring joy to other people just like this bird did when you walked by.
So pay attention to everything that you see and everything that you hear, everything.

Have you ever thought of the way that you can enhance your life and make it more beautiful and attainable for everyone to be happy, including yourself?
There is a straightforward way. It's simple, it is common and it is equally applicable and suitable to every single person on Earth, and this matter, actually is a very close to you. In-as-much as this technique involves an uncomplicated way. Here it is: it's to arouse and kindle the light of the love that is implanted and concealed in the heart of other people. It is accessible to everyone.
Now, this love is already found in the heart of every single person but it is in a concealed way, and utilizing this approach makes it very simple for every single person to reveal it and actualize it. What it does, is make it shine forth with an intense light, like a flaming fire. This is in the consciousness of the heart and the mind, and ultimately. It enables a person to surrender his soul, and everything that they have to the other person.
This is where the saying comes from: “As water mirrors the face to the face, so does the heart of man to man”. This is something that you need to take to heart. It is a proverb and it is so true.
It means that as in the case of the likeness and the features of the face which a man presents to the water, the identical face is reflected back to him from the water.
Now, that image mirrors not only the person's external features but also the nuances of the facial expression that signified joy, sorrow, and so on. It reveals not only his physical state, but also his mental state as well.
And so it is also the heart of man who is loyal and his affection for another person, because this love which he has for the other person, is awakened in the loving response. It is found in a friend when it comes with loyalty, honesty, and integrity. This is something that you can use in every single day of your life with everyone that you meet. The water mirrors that face and so does the same with the other person. That is also why it says, that words that come from the heart enter the heart. If you mean what you say, if you are truthful about what you say, your face will mirror the kindness and the other person will receive you that way just as well. That is how goodness is spread throughout the world. The face mirrors the face and so does the heart, man to man and it will be good for all of us.

Isn't it interesting how sometimes you have an idea, a concept, something that you're thinking about and we often use the expression "It is at my fingertips but I can't put my mind or my heart, or clearly find what it is? I could feel it on my fingertips."
Now, why is this concept about the “fingertips”?
It's interesting. People say this because the fingertips are very sensitive. As a matter of fact, if you've ever given chills to a child or caressed his skin, you find that by using your fingertips, the child is soothed. This movement of striking, brushing calmly, in a very quiet way, soothes the child.
The fingers of the hand, have this ability to soothe people. This soothing is because we feel through touch, and the touch itself is at the tip of those fingers. So the fingertips have this ability to change someone else's mood, feeling or affection just because of where it is.
This concept is quite interesting if you think about it. Whether it's an idea or something that you want to do, the fact that it is at your fingertips, it's available to you, it's accessible to you.
Why not use it? Why not be the person that you want to be?
None of us, and I believe this from the bottom of my heart, are meant to be or are inherently cruel; that's just so far-fetched from any human being. Even if the human being is today older and “inherently cruel”, when that individual was young he was not “cruel”.
So any one of us have the choice in this world today to be kind, giving, sharing. We all have that ability. The question is, do we use it? Will we take advantage of that?
We really can. We should, we need to.
This will change the world. This will change us. This will change everything that we have if we really want to, and let the fingertips be your guiding light.

There are two approaches to grow that should be taken in consideration.
One is you must do everything that you can in order to change. The first thing that you need to do in this case is to fight your evil completely. You can't take baby steps in this case; you have to come out swinging all the way. For instance, if alcohol is your challenge and you say, "I'll have only three drinks instead of four," you will never win. Taking small steps in the right direction it's like building a sandcastle on the beach: it will be washed away by the first wave of the raging sea. So another concept to consider here is, you need every single ounce of energy to fight the darkness outside. And this is the good news with this first approach, that “tomorrow it will be better and a bit easier”. You will need only less of the efforts, and eventually, you'll get rid of the darkness completely.
That is the first approach: full swing, full strength.
Here is the second approach forget the bad, forget the evil. The battle to darkness head-on, leave that aside. You don't need to focus on the negative. Just focus on the positive and don't worry about the darkness. Just take one small step in the right direction, one small step, no big deal. Anyone can do it. The key however, is that tomorrow, you add one more step to that, small but consistent growth. Perhaps, it is the fact that you know that and it will be so much easier, and the small, manageable changes that you make will add up to a great deal of goodness and light. This is much easier and it will get you much further.
To try to head on all the bad in the world will be almost impossible. Our mission in this world is not to dispel the darkness; our mission in this world and even in our own personal life, is to bring more light.
So why not look at the things that you can do, the things that you are able to do, start with today? And whether it is alcohol, drugs, overeating, anger, envy, jealousy, lying, any of these negative traits, take one at a time, and fight it just one step at a time, without looking back.
For instance overeating. Just take one step. Say, "Can I lose one pound over the next 10 days?" You can do that and start replacing the foods which are not good with the foods which are good; before you know it, it will be another pound and another pound, and all of this will add up to so many good things. And you can do this for all character traits that make up the person you are: better, stronger, higher, and this will change not only yourself but the whole world around you.

In life, you can do whatever you wish. That is the dignity that we were given as human beings. Quite amazing, but it's truthful. You see, however, the miracle is not to finish; the miracle is having the courage to start. Every single process, every single ideas and inspiration starts with a step, the first step. And your job won't take care of you at any given time; you have to take care of it. Also, your friends and family will, because life is an adventure in forgiveness, not of the things that have happened but the things that we want to do. If you did good, celebrate that you have G-d on your side and He was there with you in your good work, and if you fell on your face and things didn't happen to be the way that you wanted them to be, then celebrate that you have G-d on your side who didn't abandon you when you fell. Life as you see is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning how to dance in the rain, and no matter how hard it rains, learn to overcome that.
You can rock your world, you can change it, you can make it so much better, and your smile is the signature of the Creator on your face, so don't allow it to be washed away by empty tears or erased by anger. That's not what this is all about. You can do whatever you wish, and it's better to waste a minute in your life than to waste your life in a minute. In every single relationship, you want it to be better, stronger, and do what you want. Rocking your world, means that you can change anything about you: change yourself, change all the things that have happened to you into good. See what happens in your life. Rock your world means becoming the best that you can be.
I have created hundreds of podcasts and this is something which I repeat to myself every single day: try more, bigger, higher, stronger. Over 52,000 people to date, listen to these podcasts on a daily basis. You should know, this is the strength that I get from you, listening or reading these podcasts. Not because of who I am or what I do, but because it gives me the strength and the ambition to continue. If this is something good and it can affect the world, then I want to use it.
So use your strength and use the abilities that you have. Each and every one of us has been given abilities and all kinds of talents unique to yourself. Don't waste those things, use them. Self-refinement is not a lazy man's sport. It is who you are and what you have. Use it well.

If you want to build a new city, the first thing that you have to do is you have, often, to destroy everything that is in its pathway so you can rebuild. This destruction is not negative; it's actually something which will turn out to be positive.
So first, we have to plow the field and bulldozer everything that is there. The plowing itself is something that is necessary so that you can rebuild and put something new: much nicer, much greater, much better. This new concept, this new building, is going to bring so much more to the world and yourself and everything that you do.
It is the same thing with our personalities. In order for us to change, we have to, metaphorically speaking, plow ourselves. That means we have to soften our hardened psyche so that new growth can take place, and we have to overturn our previous selves. This will make way for our new self, the new person that we want to be. So the plowing is important; the plowing is where it starts, the turning over everything that we were before; but it's only the first step.
You see, in order not to only experience an overwhelming regret and also the desire to change, we must actually change our behavior rather than continue to be immersed in our daily routine and be distracted by it, be the old person that we often don't like to be.
So therefore, you have to stay focused, and even while you are “plowing yourself”, the next step is to plant and then the growth will begin in its wake.
You see, that's where the vision of the person should be: plowing of the old, breakdown of the old process, and the planting of the new. This will get you a new life, a new beginning.
Now, you say, "Well, at my age, when should I start?" Today, right now. There's no reason to wait. There's nothing standing in front of you; no obstacle but the vision of your own mind, the fear of your own process. If you want to change, start making the change today. If you want your life to change, you must change yourself, and what better way than to do it than by plowing the old and planting in the new? This new soil that you will be plowing will also give you the opportunity to open up new concepts, new ways, new visions, the visions that you will plant, the new ways that you will design, and this could be the beginning of a new life. This isn't something that you have to ask anyone around or have to think about. This is you; this is within you, and the possibilities to change. If it's possible for me, it's possible for you and everyone else around us. So use this time to start plowing and planting, and become totally new.

If you want to become better or change your life, the first thing that you need to do is you need to turn away from bad, things that are evil. By turning away from evil, you will then be able to do good. Now you might ask, "Why can't I do both?"
Well, if you keep on doing the things which are not good, it's going to be very difficult and challenging to do the things which are good.
Let's take, for instance, a bad habit, something of like addiction, something which is not good for you. You don't have to stop it all the way, but you certainly have to start by making the decision that you will decrease that negative activity and replacing it with something which is good. So if you're eating, for instance, too many foods which are not good for you, to cut all at once will be challenging, difficult, and often, impossible to achieve. But you could certainly start eating less of that particular food which is not good and start replacing it with “good” food.
So you see, turning away from things which are not good will help you turn the way towards things which are good. The difference however, lies in who's taking the initiative. When you take the initiative and you start using your own limited resources, you must indeed, first turn away from evil and do good because it's impossible for you to do all of this at one time. However, if you ask for Divine assistance from heaven, now things become easier. You don't necessarily have to wait for G-d to take the initiative in order for you to take advantage of this method, but it will help. Often, many people say, "Why should I believe in G-d? And even if I do I, don't even see G-d?"
The truth is, the times that you don't see G-d is when He is closest to you.
Now, I'm not here to preach, or for you to be proselytized, or even for you to believe. I'm asking you however, to give yourself a chance and look at the world, and ask yourself, “Is it possible that this beautiful unprecedented, unparalleled, absolutely amazing world came of itself by itself, for itself?
Come on, you know that, there has to be a Creator; there has to be someone above and beyond that designed all of this amazing, unprecedented world? It has to be; it can't just work by itself.
So if this is the case, then ask for Divine Providence; ask for Divine Assistance. If you don't believe, however, at least, do the right thing and turn away from evil and do good. You will see amazing things will happen in your life, absolutely amazing.

Last night, my grandchildren were visiting me. They were all laying each on one little cot, one next to each other. They're all cousins and all four of them were laying with their faces towards heaven. Four angelic faces.
Children who are sleeping is the most beautiful painting that you could have. It's artistry in its ultimate level. It's something to cherish. Seeing young children sleep, knowing that they are dreaming, knowing that they are somewhere in heaven thinking and loving one another. They were there, they did not know that I was standing there, but I was watching them. What a beautiful thought, what a beautiful picture, one that I will never forget.
Looking at children gives us the ability to dream and see that our dreams are possible and not just possible for us but possible for them, and we pray and hope every day that these children will grow up to be productive, good human beings, and that they save the world from all the things which are not positive.

I want to share with you an experience which I had yesterday. As I was walking, I passed a young couple, and the woman looked at me and waved and I said hello, and they said hello to me. Interestingly enough, they asked me, "How are you doing?"
I said, "Thank God, very well."
The man answered back, "Great."
I asked him, as he was walking right by me, "What about you?"
He said, "Better every day."
I was so astonished by that beautiful answer, better every day. Imagine seeing your life as though every single day is a simple yet focused entity on its own, and every single day you imagine that this day is the last day of your life and you try to make it better than the day before. By doing this, you look at your life and try to improve it continuously, and that's what this man said to me: better every day. This means to me, and I'm not sure of all the details, but I can only assume that this man had analyzed his life that morning and thought that day to be better than the day before. What a beautiful thing to do, what a beautiful thought, what a beautiful opportunity to share with others the way to look at life, and so I've decided to do the same thing.
From now on, when I'm asked, "How are you today?" I will say, "Thank God, better today than it was yesterday." This is an answer which I've decided to incorporate in my own life, in my own ways. Why? These words from that person touched me. I don't know that person and I might not ever see them again but you have to realize that everything that you see in life, everything that happens is not a haphazard circumstance; it doesn't just happen by itself.
The reason why the person was there at that very moment, right when I was walking by them and this interaction was to teach to each other but certainly to me, a lesson, a message, and that's what it was, and when I heard those words, immediately in my mind I was thinking, "What a beautiful thought. Is my day today better than it was yesterday?" Indeed, it is. The fact that I'm given one more day, one more concept one more moment means that my mission is not finished and it should be better today than it was yesterday. Here's a beautiful thing: let's say that today doesn't seem to be better.
Well, then it's an opportunity for me to change that and make it better. So either way, if it is better, good for me. If it's not better, then make a change. Now, it's greater and better, and that's what this message was all about. I took it to heart, maybe you should.

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 with the other.
For instance, let's take the one about Kindness. Kindness has within it a certain strength. If used too harshly, it could hurt another person. If used too mildly, it won't have any effect. And so within kindness, there is strength, there is also beauty and there's victory. Every one of these can be interchanged at any given time, and so if you were to take each and every one of these concepts and mix them up with teach other, you would have seven times seven because it would take about 7 weeks and there would be a total of 49. These are the 49 concepts that I am writing about .
So how do we work this out? Here's my recommendation: take one at a time, look at the word Kindness. What does it mean to you? How does it work? How does it help others? Is it the Kindness that you have something within you or you find yourself not being a kind person? Do you find yourself lacking in Kindness? And what about Kindness to others? How does that relate? And when you do something for another, are you asking for something in return? Are you asking from something back?
You see, that would be something that you would want to think about. Work on those emotions, you'll become much better, trust me.

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 exercise. Thousands of people, for many, many years have used these 49 concepts, and they have taken them step by step. It has empowered them to achieve a state of personal and emotional refinement in very profound ways. You could do it. It's not that simple but it's not complicated. Those seven emotions are the things that you have to look at in your life, and find out whether or not they are optimized.
Let's say, kindness. Kindness is something that you want to develop, you want to share with everybody, you want to be able to make it so that kindness itself is developed to an extent where you give without asking anything back in return.
These seven emotions practical; they are good, they are healthy.
The idea, if to take each and every single one of them, and to make sure that these seven emotions, at all given time, are intertwined and interchanged with each other. Your job is to make sure that these emotions are magnified. And this is the job that you should do starting this week. If you were to do this on a daily basis and take each emotion, and then within each emotion find the beauty within it, you would be able to develop yourself into a wonderful person. These emotions are true to every single person in this world; every one of us have them, and you can, at any time, use them to your advantage. Why not do that? Why not make yourself better? Why not combine these emotions with your strength and become the best that you can be? Try.

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 that whatever you sow, you will reap, and whatever you reap, is what you will sow. Things will come back at times and will haunt you.
People look at the outside of the things that happen but G-d looks on the inside. He knows what you've done and you know what you've done. If you cause harm to anyone or anything for that matter, by just kicking an animal or killing it for no reason, or pulling a leaf and making it suffer, or even taking a stone and throwing it in the water when it was in the right place to begin with, you're causing harm to other creations and there's no reason for that. A person can be kind at any given time and can choose to be wise, to be strong of character, strong at any given time about the things that they do but not rude, not harmful, not spiteful.
So be careful with your actions; be careful because your actions will affect other people and will affect the world. If at any time you feel like you want to do something which is not nice and you feel that it is necessary, think about this; think about this podcast and think about these words which I'm sharing with you right now as an advice. At the end of the day, you will be responsible for causing the harm and that's not good; so stay away from it.

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, these are the sources of happiness; to remain as a child, to remember that when you were younger, each and every one of us, we could do anything we wanted to, and nothing was in our way, and life, with all the obstacles and challenges that we experience, are nothing more than dreams that have become realities for us. The key to success is to remember that these challenges don't exist; they're just near oasis that form and obstacle which is imaginary only in our mind. Just like a child, with the absolute ability, we can absorb and accommodate, and accomplish anything we want. We can accumulate more wealth. We can become admirable, we can affect the world, our ambitions can be continuously grown. We can appreciate everything around us, and we can, with assertiveness, attract authentic goodness in everything that we do, and there's nothing that will stop us.
We just need to believe.
So the preciousness of a child is to recognize not only who they are but to know that at one point in time, we were them. We were right where they are. So, if you want to know the secret of happiness and the secret of life, remember where you came from and go back there, and draw all that energy that you need.

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 influence them to be better, to see the world as beautiful as it is or as wonderful as it could be, what can you do?
I met such a person on one of my recent travels who was sitting right next to me; she was just grouchy, complaining about everything: from the seat to the weather, about the politics of the world, from the time of the day to the temperature in the plane. Everything was negative.
I didn't say a word. But, before we left the plane, after I tried to say things about this world and really what life is all about, she told with me that she had a difficult life and that she didn't think she deserved it and therefore, she was bitter, grouchy, negative about everything. I understood her. Although, it was not the way to be or certainly not the right way to act, I understood her feelings and I let it be. I knew that me saying very little or just listening to her, was much better than creating much more than what she had already experienced, not adding fuel or an ambition to something like this. That's just the way people are sometimes.

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 that? You see, these are the rainbows that we ourselves create. Just as the sun's light hits the surface of the Earth and then rebounds from the Earth to the clouds, this is what creates the image of a rainbow.
Now, to have rainbows in your life, you have to do more than you did the day before. You don't want each rainbow to be the same. But you don't see the rainbow every time it rains. You don't see the rainbow every time you do something, but you can create your own rainbow. Creating the image of the rainbow in your life is the ability to look at things which are necessary, that have to be done that you do right. Okay, so you've made mistakes. We've all made mistakes and you've done things which were inappropriate and so have most of us. It's not a reason however, to live in the clouds or a reason for us to give up. To the contrary, use this as an incentive to become better; use this as an enticement to change your days, your future, the person you are, and everything around you.
Use these concepts, these past actions, and all these clouds to create a rainbow. By creating a rainbow and looking at it, it is so beautiful.
How many colors in the rainbow? Such a beautiful arch of multicolor faceted concept.
That's what life is. So don't think of the mistakes or the things you've done, create the image of a rainbow in your life by changing yourself.

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 deserve better or greater, or something easier, or even more, a glorious life.
But just like with marriage, maintaining marital harmony with our soul's mission or with our mission in life, may require sometimes to do things which are above and beyond what we like. This is the case of men and women who get together and want to be married. Happy marriage is not about what you get from the marriage, it's what you give into the marriage, just like the day. It's not trying to get through the day, it's what you get from the day. That makes a difference.
So it is with our mission. If you want to know what your mission is, find the things that are most difficult to you, things that are difficult to overcome, and there they are; that's your mission. Now, there is more to your mission than just overcoming obstacles. There is also bringing the best part of what you have and who you are to the rest of the world. Your mission is not just to make yourself better. Your mission is also to improve the world and the environment around you, everyone that you know: family, siblings, colleagues, friends, neighbors, whoever they may be.
Wherever you are, be the person that you need to be and change the way you act if you think things are too difficult. Don't ever think that your mission and yourself have been mismatched. That's impossible, and that's a fact.

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 what the details are, interpret it positively. Certainly, if you've had a dream, irrespective of the way you look at it, for instance a dream that was so beautiful or the opposite, a nightmare, turn the interpretation into a positive one. Think of it as a positive message and it will become a positive reality.
You may say, "That does not have any scientific background?"
That is true. But I can tell you that what I'm saying is real because it was recorded by great sages in the world, people who have not only lived through this world but interpreted the meaning of the world and its importance in our universe. These “sages”, these people of knowledge have clearly identified the reason why we are here on Earth, and that is to make this place a better place than it was when we found it.
During our challenges, however, and throughout our life, we do have time to work, time to play, time to eat, time to sleep. During our sleeping times, often, however, we dream and those dreams must have an interpretation. So why not use the positive approach?
Irrespective of your belief or your thoughts, why not take my recommendation and interpret every single dream in a positive way? After all, it's your life, it's your dream, why not make it positive? Why not turn every situation into a beautiful unprecedented opportunity? Now, every challenge, every obstacle becomes a venture for you to become better than you were before you started, and you

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 from a deeper level of commitment than you had up until now. This is when you must pass the test.
Once you pass the test, you realize it was a temporary test. It was just something that was given to you as a challenge so you could rise higher than where you were before.
Now, you might ask the question, "Why the test? Why you make it so difficult? If He is G-d and He loves me, why doesn't He just give it to me?"
Well, the truth is, He does but in order to deserve more, you have to become more. Life is not about how much you accumulate, how much money you make, how many toys you buy; life is about the person that you become and how you helped this world become a better place to be better so that everyone around you can become better physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially and in every aspect. And whatever it is that was given to you, any strength or powers, or abilities, or talents, those are gifts, tools, skills. They were given to you for you to use and make this world a better place.
Now, you might ask, "If this is the case, how come sometimes I don't see results even though I do so much?"
Life is not about results either; it's about your faith. Believe in it and you'll see. If you look deep, you'll see how grateful you should be for what you've got and everything that you continuously get.

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 let your knowledge or your thoughts put limitations on you. Be like the bumble bee. It cannot fly. From an aerodynamic standpoint, it just doesn’t have what it takes. And this is scientifically proven, but it doesn’t pay attention to that.
So you can overcome any limitations at any time, if you want to. If you’re really, truly focused, you can do whatever you wish even though science says you can’t. And I strongly suggest that you do that to get where you want to get at the point that you think is appropriate without any limitations or any type of obstacles. Overcome them all. Overcome them first in your thoughts, then in your speech by expressing it, and then with your actions to do what you wish at any given time.

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. Humankind as it is known, can do whatever it wants to. You can control your emotions. You can direct your heart. You can instruct and teach your intellect. You can overcome any weakness or hindrances at any given time.
Knowing that you have the strength, the first key component to succeed is that you must identify yourself as one of those four qualities of humankind.
Which one are you?
If you associate yourself with one of those, you'll be able to better understand the power that you're given and the work that you have to do to become better. The key, as a human being in life today, is to find out what your weaknesses are and not focus on the weaknesses but focus on your strengths. You need to know your weaknesses so you can focus on your strengths.
In other words, don't focus on the negativity. Don't think too much about the things that you can't do. The things that you can do, the things that you're good at, what people know you as, take those and make them shine. Make them better, bigger, stronger, wiser. Share it with everyone. Whatever your qualities, you know what they are. Don't focus so much on the things that you cannot improve or that you have a hard time fighting. Focus on the things that you can make better. You will see it overshadow all the other things and you'll improve all together to become a better human being.

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 teach and explain to ourselves that there is no real reason to feel self-importance.
If you’ve been given a lot of money, and are for whatever reason a rich person, then you must know that the Creator of the world gave it to you for a specific purpose and that is to give charity to help others. That is the only reason.
If self-importance originates in this case in possessing a good mind, then think about why you were given this great mind. If you do it right, if you use it right, if you use it properly, then think of how much you can do with it. If you learn something and you learn it right, think of how much you can accomplish.
Conceit is not a good trait. It’s not something to have, it’s not something to believe in and it’s not even something that you should ever aspire to.
Conceit keeps everyone away from you and sets you apart by telling everyone else that you are better or greater than them. It doesn’t bring you anything, and it doesn’t bring anyone else anything. It just keeps you aside by yourself like a hermit.
The whole idea is to share with everyone else everything and anything that you have. I know for a fact that what you’ve been given is nothing more than a gift. This gift needs to be shared at all times with everyone. And this is something you need to constantly work on.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 830 – 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 skills and the know-how are less than half of the battle. But if you don’t believe you can do it, it will be very hard to convince anyone else you can. You have to be your own cheerleader before you can expect anyone else to be. This has to come from you. It has to start with you. It all starts with you and that’s what matters in life. Know who you are. Know your limitations. Know your strengths, and know that those limitations are only limitations in your mind and that you can overcome them. Know that other people with a lot less than you have and a lot less fortune than where you are have done so much more. This should give you an incentive to become better, to do more, to share, and to grow continuously. Don’t let anything be in your way. Limitations are only the limitations that you’re creating in your own mind. Change that, it’s not so difficult. The difference between north and south is a simple turn. And after today, you never have to be the same again, only by choice. I have said it many times in this podcast, but the reason why I’m repeating this is because not only do I believe in it, I’ve seen it myself. Not just for me but for many people around me. It’s truth, it’s a fact that is who we are. That’s the way the world was built and created. With the intent to give each and every human being, irrespective of where they are born or when they are born, the ability to overcome every obstacle at any given time. You need to ask yourself a question, “Do I still believe I can do this?” If the answer is yes, do it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 829 – 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, what do I do now? And whatever happened then doesn’t matter.” No, you can’t do that. A game plan means having a vision and understanding what the future is going to bring. We need to borrow from the experiences of the past, formulate them in the visions of the future to use them in the present as an incentive to make it better today and make it possible for you. This is what life is all about, making it a difference, leaving a legacy. Whether it’s to yourself, to your spouse, to a better half, to family members, to your family, to colleagues, neighbors, citizens in your country, or to the whole world you need to make a difference and use your full potential. Your game plan is what helps you get there. With this game plan, you have the ability to whenever you wish to formulate and change it. If you see that the road that you’re taking is not quite the appropriate or successful one, or you find that perhaps it’s too difficult, you need to make a small detour. Do that, after all this is your plan. You write the road map, it is yours to change at any time that you wish. The strategies that you use, the concept that you develop, the ideas that you have—all of these are yours. If you don’t like them, tear up that page in your book and start a new one. If you don’t like that book, throw it away and start a new one. It’s all yours. You have the power and the freedom of choice. Use it wisely. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 828 – 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 makeup of both the world and its creations. Without limitation, without time and place, the world will cease to exist. Limitation and existence are interdependent.
Now, you might want to ask the question, "What about personal imitations, where do they come from?"
Things that are limited to you in your mind are your own imagination. There are things that you've come up with and you've conjured and things that you have made up in your own mind.
As a human being, you have the power to do whatever you want and exercise to the furthest extent of possibilities, anything that you want. It's all within your abilities. You have to know that it's not only possible, but that it is possible for you. Once you realize that, then you realize that limitations are all imaginary. If you want to become great, if you want to become rich, if you want to become healthy, sophisticated, unique, then it's all up to you.
You have the power to change anything you wish. You cannot change the outside like the weather, sunshine, the seeds, the oil, but you can change yourself. That's all given to you. Your personality, and the limitations that exist are all imaginary in your mind; so why not revise this and change who you are? Change everything about yourself. Change the person you are, change your life by changing yourself. This is something you deserve because after all, this is your world. So, why not make it the best that it can be? And you deserve it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 827 – 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 the future. Try to take a nugget of wisdom from each failure you encounter on your road to success. That’s all it is.
By not repeating that mistake, not only will it make it better for you, but you will also grow. You can now use this mistake as an experience and a spring board to become and make things better from here on out. It’s impossible to think that you’re going to go through life without making mistakes. Nobody can actually believe that, nobody does that. Everybody makes mistakes. The question is how do we resolve these mistakes and what do we do about it?
You need to continuously look at those mistakes, those concepts and learn from them. Now don’t dwell on them. Don’t spend too much time saying, “My goodness. Look what I have done wrong. Poor me.”
That is not what life is all about. Take the lesson from those mistakes, and learn from them, and resolve not to repeat them again. That’s what it is, an accumulation of experiences that will help you to spring yourself forward continuously. By doing so, you will benefit, and you will benefit the whole world around you.
Don’t dwell on the past, dwell in the present so that you can change the future. And only use the past experiences to help you do so without having to cry, or think that this is the end of the world. It’s not the end of the world. It was just a mistake. It was not good. That is true, and you shouldn’t have done it. That is also true. But now that it’s done, let it go and learn from your mistake.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 826 – 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. This isn’t something that happens by itself. At any given time, it can fade away. You need to constantly ask yourself:
Am I making a difference?
Not, “How much money am I making in this job?” But, “Who am I becoming and what am I doing for the world?”
Now you may say, “Well, my job is rather simple. I just do administrative work. Things which are not that important and that I can not change.”
That’s not true, your job is very important. Whatever job you do can make a difference in the company. Even if what you’re saying is correct and that you are only answering the phone for the company, you’re a receptionist. Without your ability to answer the phone properly and directing the people to the right person everything falls apart. None of these professionals could function.
If you think about it, even what you may call a “small job”, like a receptionist, is the backbone and the fundamental concept at what makes that company successful.
Every job done honestly and with integrity is as important as the most important job that you can think of. A nurse in an operating room is just as important as the surgeon. They both serve a purpose and they are both needed and helping one another save the life of that patient. It is the same thing in every single profession.
Find yourself a niche. Something that you feel confident, that you like, that gives you not just a passion, but gives you an ambition. Nurture that, and that should keep you going at all times.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 825 – 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 wholly your own? Do you give charity to others?
Do you do kind things to other people, to your fellow men?
Do you devote a certain amount of time to learn and become better so that you can share it with others?
These are the things in this world which are truly your own possession. And that you can accomplish only through your own efforts. I’m asking you what you are doing, not what G-d is doing for you.”
It left an indelible impression in my life. I realize that it is true, going to work every day is not what I am doing, it’s how I am working. It’s not so much what I am doing at work, it’s who am I becoming at work?
How do I treat my fellow workers and colleagues?
Are my business schedules done according to the right things so that I can maximize my time?
Are my meetings dealt with honesty and integrity? Are the things that I say when I promote a product and or services, are they done with conscientious effort to help the others?
Do I share all of what I have with other people that have less than me?
That’s the question. This is a question that I asked of myself every day since I’ve heard it from him, and I thank him for that. I will always remember this. I thought sharing it with you for your day might appreciate it so you can do it as well.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 824 – 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 for the king to help us out. Now, not everyone believes in G-d, that is true. Not everyone believes that there is a supreme being. That is also true. But assuming that this world is above and beyond everything else that we can think of. An entity that a supreme consciousness rules and maintains it. Know that nothing happens haphazardly. That would be something ridiculous to think that it just happens for itself. There is a consequence. These consequences are nurtured and activated by our actions. If we believe in that, then we know for a fact that everything that we do affects everything else. It is that action itself that I’m speaking about. Why not use the good that we do, the good that we think about, the good that we talk about, and use that to help the world be a better place? Not just for those that are religious, but for everyone. Not just for our own country, but for the whole world. Help everyone else be, see, act, live better than they were before. That’s the ultimate life, and that’s the ultimate world. Whether you believe in G-d or not is not the point here, the point is that you do the best that you can do at all times. If you think or believe that the King is now in the field, then use the time wisely and have a good petition for what you want. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 823 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond What I am going to share with you today that may be difficult to accept. But I want you to know that this is a fact, the truth, and something which is real in all aspect of life. When you go through a challenge or a difficulty in life—and it may seem to you as a curse. But in reality, the way that it appears to you right now the reason for this difficulty, this challenge, this curse, this problem is actually divine. It is so great that to be revealed within our limited world and the way that we live, it must afford the disguise and look as a curse. Quite amazing. Now our challenge is to see in this perspective, rather than falling into the trap of becoming angry with what happened, with G-d, with nature, or the pain and negativity that exists in order to provide us with a free choice. Free choice in turn exists in order to enable us to earn the rewards of our own choices. You don’t need to feel unworthy of that blessing. To the contrary, this is coming to you because you have the ability to make that choice. When you recognize that the evil, difficulty, challenge, or the problem exist only to provide you with the free choice to reject it then your struggle becomes much easier. I hope you can understand this. I know because I myself have gone through it also as every human being in life. When we do face a challenge that seems to be so overwhelmingly huge, monumentally big, above and beyond us. We say, “How will I overcome this? And why did this happen to me?” No, don’t think that way. The greater the difficulty, the bigger the divine behind it. The divine, the concept, and the blessing, you have to understand that. You have to believe it and once you understand that, then you have the free choice. That free choice then gives you the opportunity to say, “I won’t let this happen to me, and I’m not going to let this overcome me. To the contrary, I will make it better. Fight it and win.” It’s at that moment that you succeed. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 822 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times in our lives when we are challenged to the point where our principles are being questioned and often put to the test. This is not so simple. We have within ourselves a constant battle. One which tries to push us to do the best that we can for good things. That is a holy part of our body, of our consciousness, of our being. The other tries to make us do things which are improper or in a way which is not beneficial to ourselves or to the rest of the world. This battle goes on continuously within ourselves. Now at times, often during the day as we meet other people, we also find ourselves being challenged certainly in a way where our own principles are being questioned. What do we do at that time? How do we overcome that? How do we resist this drive and overcome the possibility of doing things which is not proper? When we are confronted in the case of a challenge, we need to summon at that moment the recollection of our willingness to sacrifice everything for our principle. As well as the willingness itself. Our ability to assert our human nature, our good part, the person that we need to be, no matter how strong the powers of persuasion could be, the ridicule, or the compulsion that the opposite tries to throw at us, we need to overcome that and not let it take over us. Do not let it win at any given time. That is not so simple because sacrificing a principle may seem at times like the right thing to do. I can tell you that it is never right to sacrifice principles. Principles are the fundamentals of your life. It is the philosophy that holds you together physically, spiritually, professionally, and to a certain extent in a human way - The person that you are. If you ever take these principles and let them take over by another party which is less than what it should be or opposite of what it should be, then it could be the beginning of an end for you. Don’t let those principles ever change. These principles are who you are. That’s who you were raised as and that’s the person that you need to be and stay at all times throughout your life. Don’t worry if others mock you or call you names Don’t let that bother you. You know who you are and you know what you can do. Even greater, you know what you’re worth. Let that be a lesson for the rest of your life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 821 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever taken the time and stood by the ocean and looked at it? It’s quite incredible and impressive. A majestic look of above and beyond imagination. It’s hard to believe and is interesting that it is said that all that exists on dry land also exists in the ocean. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? The ocean is home to a vast diversity of minerals, plant life, and millions upon millions of living creatures. Can you imagine that? However, all that exists that we see at least on land, is readily discernable. But yet when we see this, and we’re told the ocean has all of it. We don’t see any of that. All we see is the vast universe. We’re told and that’s so besides the fact that it’s beneath the surface of the waters, and the waters conceal all of their existence. By standing there, you don’t see much. All you see is the water. But what’s underneath it is beyond an incredible universe. If it is as diverse as what’s on land for all the amazing, incredible, above and beyond understanding of life creatures, how vast is this world? How incredible the vast ocean and all the secrets that are within it. This is what you should see when you meet someone. Even though all you can possibly see is a person, what’s beneath that person is an incredible human being with potential, a heart, emotions, and feelings. If you give them the opportunity to express themselves you will find that this person has so much to give. They not only want to give it; they earn the ability to share it if you only give them the opportunity to express themselves. Not by impressing them of how great you are, but on how you can make them feel and see themselves greater than they are. By lifting them, you rise. By helping them see the beauty within themselves, they can share all of this. This is what you should see. Like the vast ocean, you may only see the water on the surface but it is full of millions of creatures within it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 820 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Often you meet people that speak about what the right way is to live and what the best thing to do is to become a person of value in this world and to make this world a better place to be, not just for us but for everyone around us? Truly there is one concept that stands above and beyond. There are three emotive concepts that we often speak about. One is the thought, one is the speech, and the other is the action. A thought is whereby we, as human being, have an idea. A place where a seed germinates and a certain concept develops. With this thought itself we develop ideas, concept, and many different things that will get us to move forward. Then there’s the speech. How we express what we thought about, what we developed, and what we aspire to. But really at the end is the action, and what matters most is the action. Action is what matters at all times, even though people say, “But I am a thinker and I can think so many good things.” But what does that help? Only you, and how do you know that these thoughts are good thoughts or important thoughts. Then the one who speaks, sure they help others by saying things. But people can say so many things and do something which is totally opposite. The action is what matters, that is what stays and what we see. That’s what we understand, that’s what makes a difference. The action is what will actually make it the way that it’s supposed to be. The thought and the speech are great, but are not as important, as great, or as dependent as the action. Everyone can depend on an action. If you think you should be kind to someone, or if you say that you’re kind to someone, it is nothing comparable to whenyou are truly kind and show kindness to that one person, that’s what makes a difference. The thought and the speech are yours. The action is what you share with everybody. That’s what matters. Make everything and anything around you be the final step though the actions that you perform. Everything needs to come down to an action once it become tangible. That’s what makes a difference in the world. That’s what will actually show that something has been done. Share it with everybody around you, and this will make it a much better place for each and every one of us at all time. Everyone will benefit, including you, the world, and all the generations to come for an amazing legacy that you will leave. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 819 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are people in our world who believe they should only be kind, or make friends with others who are extremely bright, talented, scholars, or people who are of just extreme importance.
It is good to learn and it is great to continuously grow in knowledge and have a broad sense of understanding of what the world is all about. In a profession, in areas of culture, and in every other aspect of life, this is great. However, the pursuit of such intelligence puts you in an introverted activity. That’s all it is.
It keeps you away from everybody else. Why become a hermit confined only to an elite circle of scholars; only to surround yourself with extremely intelligent people and only give them the opportunity to be around?
You should receive every person with a friendly face, even ones that can bring you absolutely no benefit. That person actually has a lot to offer. You should speak to people congenially with sweet and pleasing words. When you help others, you should do so with a pleasant demeanor. One who gives with his “face in the ground”, even if he gives all the gifts in the world, is considered as if he has not given anything at all.
Kindness is a virtue of utmost beauty; there’s nothing like it. It’s great to be wise, and certainly to become a scholar in whatever discipline, but to be kind is above and beyond any other emotive, concept, or action that you can apply to your life. Being kind means accepting everybody.
A friendly face means showing everyone the honor and the respect that they deserve, even though you may not think so, or actually they may not even deserve it. You should be above and beyond this. You should show them at all time a friendly face. It’ll make you better. It’ll make the place where you are so much better. It will make this world an exceptional place.
That is what the Creator did when he built the worlds. He did it out of kindness, and this is the gift he gave us. Use it wisely.

There are many people in our world who feel that marching orders are given only for the military. “This isn’t for me to listen to, I am not part of an army. I don’t want to listen. I don’t want to do what I’m told to do whenever someone else tells me to do it. Marching orders are not for me. I don’t like it and I’m in charge of what I want to do.”
When each and every human being was created, it was for a specific purpose. That purpose has a mission, and that mission has a tremendous amount of available strength that it comes with to help you fulfill that mission.
This mission that you were given—each and every one of us actually since the creation of the world—is to fulfill the purpose of the world and to make a better place to be for each and every one of us at all times.
Everything that each and every one of us does at any given time affects other concepts, people, places, time, energy—everything. Everything affects everything else.
Having marching orders gives your life purpose. Walking before not only an entity, but G-d wholeheartedly in putting your hope into the Creator of the world makes you a different person. Don’t attempt to investigate the future by whatever it may be that comes upon you. Accept it.
Accept it wholeheartedly, and you’ll see that once you accept that—and I’m not saying that you have to fulfill all the commandments that you’re given. I’m not speaking about religion, I’m speaking about who you are, what you can do, your strength, and your ability to be part of this world.
Now you may not believe in G-d, but ask yourself: “Could the world run without a Supreme Being? Is it possible that all these amazing, incredible details of every single aspect of nature are just some things that happen haphazardly at all times without any direction?” That’s hard to believe.
If you believe, and if you have the ability to do things for yourself, and for the rest of the world, use those strengths, those energies, and make it so that it is always growing.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 817 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond The world was created with many different creations in the four different universes: the inanimate, vegetative, animal, and human world. All of these are amazing opportunities for us to use all the strength and energies of these different worlds to make this universe unique. Now our emotions are the measure of our maturity. Many people are gifted with superior intelligence or talents. That’s just what they were given. But truly refined emotions are achieved by shedding childlike self-absorption and contributing to the world. That makes a big difference. We find that fruit bearing trees provide us with nourishment and delight at their own expense. Think about that when you find barren trees, what do they do? They don’t give any fruits. They merely impress us with their stately presence. That’s all they can do. Perhaps they can offer us some shade, but they sacrifice nothing in doing so. We can learn from fruit bearing trees versus non-fruit bearing trees. When you ask or seek instructions and inspiration, turn to people who are not only intelligent and talented, but who also consistently utilize their gift for the world’s greater goods. You should emulate the example of the fruit bearing tree, not just find people who have so much and have money, intelligence, talent, and all kinds of gifted energy that doesn’t help. Not you anyway. Perhaps for them, but not for you. If you want true instruction, true inspiration, find the people that have these talents, and make sure that they constantly utilize all those gifts and talents that they’ve been given as well as their wisdom and intelligence. Those gifts, for them, should be an opportunity to work and make the world a better place. If they do that, then you can benefit from them and truly grow from being around these people. That makes a difference. Look around your friends. Find the people that you have, that you accommodate with, and that you associate with. Who are they? Are they fruit bearing trees, or are they just regular barren trees? If you can make that comparison, you’ll know how to choose your friends appropriately, and certainly those that you associate with, and those that you spend more time with. Trust me, it will make a big difference in your life and in the whole world around you. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 816 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At a certain age in life we find ourselves satisfied with our own achievements. We look around and we say, “I’ve done well. I’m okay. I have done everything that I can.” The truth is: “Are yourself are you truly satisfied with your achievements? At least your past achievements until today?”
The fact is, you shouldn’t be. You should never be satisfied with your own past achievements. Now people may say, and even tell yourself, that if you’re never satisfied with your own achievements you will drive yourself crazy. Why is that?
Ignore these people, don’t listen to them. Look at what you’ve done, and if that was good, double it. Double is always better, stronger, higher, and much wiser. Don’t let what you’ve done be the final measure of who you are. Let that be only the beginning of what you can do, and all past achievements, don’t use them as an excuse to stop, but as an incentive to grow higher and better. Don’t let anything be your final step. Let it all be the beginning of great achievements, opportunities that are given to you, and strength that you can develop over time.
As we grow older, while we are given more and more to do, we are also given the strength, wisdom, and complete assistance to do what we have to do. Life on Earth is limited, it is not eternal. Eternal is not given to any human being. Eternal is given perhaps to other creations but not human beings. The set time that we have is for a specific reason, and I suggest that you use every single opportunity to make your world and the world around you such a beautiful place to be. Not just for your own accomplishments, but for the benefits of everyone else. Not at the expense of others, but at the service of others. This is what doubling your efforts will do. Double is always better. Everyone should do this at all times. Everywhere and in whatever we do every single moment.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 815 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
The world assumes that one only tries to spring in, over one’s trouble when all else fails. That’s the only time they try. There is however another suggestion; that is to head straight for the highway. Not to let any of these things get in the way of you accomplishing your goals, finishing a task, or taking on whatever action you want to.
There is no need to wait. There’s no way to think, and at times there’s not even need to understand. If trouble comes your way or a challenge that you think is overwhelming, don’t think, go right into it, and get rid of it. Often you will find that the trouble, circumstance, challenge, difficulty, or whatever the issue is, is nothing more than an opportunity for you to become stronger, better, and wiser.
Why wait for it?
Why take a chance?
Why think that this problem will become now part of your life?
Use this as a springboard to take you to the next level; use this as an opportunity. It is said that there is no challenge that comes to you without the immediate strength, power, energy, knowledge, ability, and everything needed to overcome it. Now once you believe that, nothing will stop you. Why not do this? Head straight for the highway, don’t let it be in your way. Don’t let it bother you. Don’t let it stop you. You can do it!
Not only once or twice, but every single time a challenge occurs or something comes up. Once you’re equipped with that knowledge and this ability to understand it, put it into play not just as a thought, but as an action. Now you become invincible wherever you go in whatever you do. That is what I wish for you. For you to know that you can overcome challenges at all times.
So, go ahead and do it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 814 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Just recently, I was walking down the street and there was a restaurant on the corner. A man stepped out of that restaurant and in his hand he had a toothpick wrapped in cellophane. I saw him take out the toothpick from the cellophane wrapper and threw the wrapper on the ground, and kept on walking. I picked up the wrapper and put it in the garbage can.
It occurred to me, why did this man throw the wrapper on the ground? If this was his home, would he do that? Would he just throw it on the floor? I ask you the question, “If you are at home and you open up a drawer, do you push it back? If you open up a closet and you take something out of the cabinet, do you close the door? When you sit at the table and you pull a chair to sit down, as you walk away, do you push the chair back where it belongs?”
You should know, it does make a difference.
Somebody may say, "Oh, what is the difference? I mean, it's just a piece of cellophane, that's all it is. Why make such a big deal out of it?"
I'll tell you what makes a difference, it's the habit.
It's the habit that makes a difference, primarily for you because you are that person. It does make a small contribution by not leaving trash on the ground. But, what it does mostly is give you the incredible feeling of self-worth because you have good habits; and that's a great deal. Good habits of things that you do when things are supposed to be finished and finished by you. It is the same when you have a car that you've rented and returned it to the rental company all clean; or you leave a hotel room where you've been there for a short period of time and you straighten things up before leaving.
Good habits should be the way that you do things. It's the way that you live, and what it does, is that it makes you feel good about yourself and the person that you are. That's self-worth habits.
Everyone may say, "Why do it? What's the big deal about this?"
I got a good answer for that one. Why not? If it's so easy to do, why not do it? Why not contribute? Why not help everything and everyone live a unique lifestyle and make things better? It's those little things that add up to a big thing, and that's what it does. And if it makes you feel good about yourself, then it's all worth it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 813 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Have you ever found yourself in a situation which seems to be for absolutely no reason whatsoever? For instance you’re driving on the freeway and you’re going from point A to point B, and you make a wrong turn. The initial thought is, “I made the wrong turn. I can’t believe I did this. Where am I going? This is not the right place.” or, you find yourself in a situation where you wonder, how did you get there? What happened? What is the purpose of that? There is nothing that happens haphazardly for absolutely no reason. Nothing at all. It’s impossible.
The reason for it is because the Creator of the world has made sure that everything in this world is calculated to an endless level. Everything has a purpose, everything has a good purpose to it. That is the reason why you are there.
When you find yourself in a situation where it seems perhaps that you got loss, or it just doesn’t feel that there is nothing or anything for you to do at all in that place, in that moment, think again. Look around you and find the reason for yourself. The reason typically is not hidden, it will be right there in front of you. If you open up your eyes and reassess the situation, it will clearly let you know what you’re there for.
This world was created so that each and every human being has an incredible amount of intelligence and kindness. Use this wisdom that we have. The abilities and everybody’s potential should be used to the greatest level at every moment in every situation to make this place better than it was when we first came.
Don’t complain why you’re there, or say “I shouldn’t be here.” or, “I don’t want to do this or that.” That is the reason why each individual person was created, to elevate and fix the world to be a beautiful garden that it is. That’s the reason. If you don’t at times see the reason, don’t blame the situation, or the soil, the seeds, or anything like this that you have around you. Only blame yourself because you have not looked at it properly.
Use this opportunity to develop and generate more positive energy wherever you are, and whenever it is. It’s not a question of a place or time; it’s the question of the actions that you will entertain, and the things that you will do to make this place a better world. We all deserve that because you can do it.

There are many pleasures in life that a person can enjoy at any given time. There are the pleasures of resting. The pleasures of going on a trip, on a vacation and visiting far flung locations. There is also the pleasure of being around people you enjoy. Family members and people that you love.
There is the pleasure at times of reading a good book. A pleasure of taking a shower and enjoying the fresh water. Pleasures sometimes of taking a walk in a forest and admiring the beauty of an unbelievable world that we’ve been given. There are so many pleasures in life. What is your pleasure in life? Where do you truly derive pleasure.
Pleasures in life—the real ones — are the simple ones. The ones that don’t cost any money, don’t take you very far, and don’t need a lot of “stuff” around. They are the best pleasures. They are free, they are there, and they are continuously in your heart. They’re the ones that leave a memory etched in your heart with a feeling of peace and serenity.
A pleasure—a true pleasure—in life are those moments that you enjoy things for no other reason than the fact that you’re there. You can call it grateful or thankful, but a pleasure in life is that moment that you know that what you’re doing is the right thing. That what you’re experiencing is better for the world. Not at the expense of the world, but at the service of others. That’s a true pleasure.
True pleasure is something that not only benefits you but benefits everyone around you. That’s what a pleasure is. Something that you will feel for many years to come and puts a smile on your face when you think about it. Without costing anything to anyone.
To me those true pleasures are the times that I look at my life knowing that I’ve lived a good life. I’ll tell you what a good life is: knowing that you’ve helped other people. I have just been told that my podcasts are heard by thousands, and thousands of people on a daily basis. That is a pleasure.
A true pleasure knowing that I’ve been able to create small, little chapters in people’s lives and help them see things better than they are, and make them feel good about it. That is a pleasure.
I hope you find such pleasures not only in this podcast collection, but in your own life and the things that you do because it’s all worth it and you deserve it all the time!

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 811 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I want to share with you today a thought about a monumental responsibility that each and every person has in this world. A person is given only the exact number of days they need to accomplish the tasks in the world.
Which tasks? Those that were assigned to their life.
If a day is not used for its own purpose, the tasks for those days could be left undone. That’s a “monumental responsibility”.
There are two things to note about this. Firstly, wasted time never returns. Every individual is given a specific number of days and seconds to accomplish all that he’s charged with. When a day is misused, this loss is irreplaceable. Quite amazing if you think about that. Secondly, something that you need to remember is that the service, work, duties, and tasks of that day build upon each other.
Meaning that they raise tomorrow’s work to a higher level.
When a person has $100, they really wish they had $200, and when they have $200, they wish they have $300. People always want to do more, want to have more and want to reach higher levels. When a person does a task or establishes certain amount of responsibilities that they have fulfilled on that day, whatever it is that they did on that day, builds a momentum.
Then the next day is even higher than the previous day. It uses that previous day’s momentum or energy to build onto the following day. Days wasted means that now you don’t have the energy to build on. You’re just where you were yesterday just a day later.
Do you see how this monumental responsibility has an effect on every single moment? It’s interesting how people say sometimes, ‘I’ll be there in a few minutes.’ Or, ‘What’s a few minutes?’ Yet in one minute, our whole world could be changed.
You and I have the opportunity at every single moment in this world to make that difference. This monumental responsibility is something that is given to each and every individual being born. Every single person has the responsibility to take it seriously and make a change.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 810 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond You know, it is interesting to look at the definition of the word marriage. Marriage is actually any of the diverse forms of interpersonal union, which is established in various parts of the world. This union forms a familial bond that is recognized legally, religiously, and even socially. It grants the participating partners mutual conjugal rights as well as responsibilities. A marriage is a challenge even with the best of circumstances. Even when two individuals share common and compatible heritage, culture, or value system they will have challenges regardless of the union. When these parameters diverge, the heritage, the culture, or the value systems—they come from a different direction or different destination, the challenges for a successful marriage drops to virtually nil. It makes no different whether the individuals in question feel attached to their heritage, or their culture, or not. These characteristics are largely hereditary and feelings that can be easily triggered by any number of circumstances, often leaving the person surprised by the depth and the force of his or her attachment to the people. It’s quite amazing. A person is so connected to where they come from and their heritage, that in a marriage, when things become challenging, they’re not sure they can stay together. So even an honest, rational person will not want to involve another person. Particularly another person towards whom they have feelings and affections and may not want to bring them into a relationship that can be questioned. Not to mention of course, the detrimental effect of inevitably such a marriage will have on children and the results from it. Marital happiness is so important to value, that we have to be very careful. To depend on it and to ensure that it works, is based on the heritage that we come from. The primary place to look for someone to marry is from your own background. Someone with whom you can truly have a union. This is so true. I know. I’ve been there. But this is the best way to do it, by finding that, your marriage will survive and will overcome any challenge at any given time. That is a guarantee forever.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 809 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are many times in our lives when we meet different people in different places within different circumstances. We often walk away from these experiences without having too many feelings of difference or of a change. We think, “It was nice.” It might even have been very pleasant, but nothing special happened. However, there are times in our lives when we experience a special moment. This moment is truly precious. This precious moment is when we evaluate who we are, what we have, and how grateful we can be for the things that we have. The other day I was driving, and I saw a person who could not see. Although they didn’t have the vision that most people have, I am sure that in their heart they feel and they know so much more than most people can even believe. It occurred to me that I was fortunate enough to be able to open my eyes at any given time, and look around and appreciate the beauty of the color of the sky, the flowers blooming, the sight of the ocean, and all the other wonderful things that we have been blessed with to admire and or appreciate at any given time. Precious moments are those moments that remind us of things not only that are special, but of the gifts we’ve been given as human beings. To some people a precious moment may be a birthday, or a day that they have an occasion to celebrate, or something that they are happy about. But truly, the precious moment is the time when you realize all the wonderful things and the blessings that we have on a daily basis. One of the most important things in life is health. Knowing that we can see, that we can hear, that we can speak, that we can feel, that we can smell, even taste. These are precious moments. The times in our lives when we realize that the world itself is made up of all kinds of differences. Ours is the fact that we have all these senses, and they’re gifts. Gifts that have been given to us to use in the best way possible to make this place a better place than we found it when we first came here. Enjoy these precious moments.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 808 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond One of the most precious gifts that we were given in this world is a family. A family’s is a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with children and people that care for one another. That’s the definition of a family. One of the most challenging areas of leadership is your family. Leadership of a family demands even the higher standards of honesty, and integrity, and anything else than anything that you could have done. Why is that? Because if you are the head of the family, it is not the same as if you are the head of an office. In an office, you can replace a disgruntled employee and you can start all over. You might even get a new job if you wanted to, if it comes to that. You can even move to a different location. But family? That you can never get rid of them. They cannot be shuffled like a deck of cards. Family is something that always stays with you. No matter where, no matter what, no matter when, the family members that you have will always be connected to you. Sometimes we have issues with a family member and we just think that we are right. But regardless of what happened, regardless of what’s going on, we believe that we should move on our way and because of an issue, we have the right to make that decision. Let me just tell you something about family that I believe is true, family is precious. It should be the most treasured present that you have in life. At no point in time, any time in your life, at any given moment, for any reason whatsoever, should you ever turn against your family. No matter what, no matter what they say, no matter how they treat you. No matter even the way they act towards you. It’s irrelevant. You’re connected to them for eternity. Not just life. Because even after they go, they will still be your family. So, if you’re having an issue with a sibling, parent, or someone in your family, why not make up? Why not go and spend some time with them and let them know how much you truly care? The issue that happened, whatever it may have been, just forget about it. Write it off. Let it be part of your family, that things at time should be challenging. You are able to overcome them because you are greater than that and you deserve to have a good family. You deserve to be close to your family. Family are the members of society that will be there with you through thick and thin no matter what and irrespective of the person that you are. That’s a family, and you should pay attention to that. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

At times in life, a person find themselves for whatever reason with debts. Financial debts can be somewhat challenging, to say the least.
At times, they can even be overwhelming.
What happens when you have debts?
You’re troubled, often downcast and many debts can make it so difficult for us to believe and even do anything. We’re just stagnating life.
A possible solution about overcoming the downcast or the fear, or even the lack of understanding of what’s happening, is to strive for trust. Trust is the key to everything in life at any time. You have to strengthen yourself in the belief that even if there seems to be no way at all for matters to work out, you should never-the-less trust in the Creator. Trust in the Good Being that has made this world what it is today. That this Creator works above nature and all can be good at any time.
When you lift yourself out of this worldly mindset, you can reach the point that you appreciate that there is no challenge that cannot be overcome. At that moment, you will see that everything becomes good in actuality.
This is not so easy. I have to admit this because, at times, I have met people, and I’m sure you, yourself have been in that situation where things have been so difficult that we’re not sure what to do. We don’t always know what to say or how to act. These are the times that you need to strengthen your understanding of how the world was created. We don’t understand the reason why some of these things are happening. We often don’t even know the reason why some of these things are not going the way that we want to.
But the reasons are not what it is all about. What matters most is our strength in believing and understanding that the trust that we have of an unwavering faith, takes us above and beyond any challenge at any given time.
I promise you this will be the reason how you’ll overcome those debts. Overcoming debts is just a matter of understanding who you are and your purpose in life. That’s all it is. No more than that.

Although the world is made up of many different people, different religions, different locations where everyone lives, different ethnicity, all kinds of different people, even within the same country and the same location, even within the same home, many different people live under one roof.
There is one spark that we all share, one spark of unity, and that is the spark of happiness. Happiness is defined as something which makes you feel good. Yet, there is something greater than your happiness, and it's called joy. Joy is something that you feel not only for yourself but something that you also feel for others. Something that you can share with others.
A feeling of joy is a communal or at least a reciprocity between different people. The pleasure of helping another get what they need, the pleasure of always benefiting someone else, not at their expense but at their benefit. The joy of making sure that everyone has what they need.
I received a call this morning from an organization that was raising money for children who don't have clothes and often don't even have what to eat. I was touched by their message.
It read this way, "Please help all the children in the world have what to eat on a daily basis. This is the right thing to do."
The message was simple and I thought, what an idea. Organizations that help others feel, be, and have everything that they need, and even more than they have thought about. This is what life is all about. We're not here by ourselves and wanting to be everything that we need to be all for what we have. We are here to spread joy and light, and goodness to the rest of the world. Each and every human being has a very specific mission in this world. The mission is that we are always be in control of what we can give to others. Not that it will happen by itself; let us all share and give to one another.
That's what true joy is all about, and that's a spark that we all share among the world and all human beings, needing to make things better. There are so many new opportunities today to do this with the advent of technology and everything that it offers. It takes seconds to get on your phone or your computer and send a message to someone else, wherever they may be. Why don't you do that? Share the spark of goodness and joy, and watch the world change to become a better place than it's ever been before.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 805 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond A rule that is taught by many great people and should be part of every single person’s life, is the habit to say little but do much. If you want to help another for instance, say little and do much. If you want to give charity, say little but give much. If you want to please another person, say little and do much. By saying little, you are not minimizing what your efforts are, you are keeping away from the information about what you’re going to do. This is the person with whom you have this relationship, or to whom you are helping, giving money, giving some knowledge, or sharing things that you have. By you saying little and doing much, you keep that away from them. Once they see the result of what you have done, they will see the accomplishments and magnitude of what you have done. They will be ecstatic about what you’ve continuously performed. It’s not always easy to do this because most people want to talk about it. They feel the pride, they feel at times even the arrogance to want to show off. Often that becomes a negative aspect, and takes away from the beauty of the deed. It takes away from the action. By saying little and doing much, people will recognize who you are and what you truly mean by your actions. Words are vain, they evaporate. But actions will stay. When you do something, people will see it. It’s not a question of doing, it so that other people see it. It’s the question of doing it because it’s the right thing to do. There will be a benefit to you, to the people around you, and to the whole world, the whole universe. Saying little gives you the ability to do as much as you want. Saying little gives you the opportunity to not only outdo what you were going to say, but also the level at which you’re going to do whatever it is that you are going to perform. Why not follow this advice? It’s great advice and it comes from no other place than the highest minds in this world. Say little and do much at all times wherever you are with whomever you may be, and you will see some great results. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 804 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
If you want to be successful in your life and if you want to succeed in growth, in understanding, knowledge, and changing your future, you need to fix time for what you do. For instance, in the concept of prayer. Prayers cannot just be said wherever, whenever, or however. Now, you do have the option to pray whenever you wish; but you should have a fixed time on a daily basis of when you want to pray and when you need to pray.
The one things to pray for are the things that will help you develop a relationship with the universe and you will get to where you want to be. However, the need to pray, the ambition that each human being has at any given time to have a part of the world, and to be part of the growth of the world, is to establish a relationship with the Creator.
You may say, “I don’t believe in the Creator, and I don’t want to pray.” Fine, if this is your feeling. But each and every one of us, in time of need, pray. You don’t want to pray out of desperation. You want to pray out of inspiration. You don’t want to wait until things are so terrible, difficult, and challenging that you’re now forced to pray and ask for what you need.
Why not pray on a regular basis? Pray for the goodness that you will receive and that you want to receive. Pray for the seasons to be on your side and pray for the guidance to be given to you and to show you where to go. Pray for the sunshine to be in your life. And pray for the good things at all time for each and every person who’s around you. Pray for good health. But all these prayers should be at a “fixed time”.
You may want to reserve at least a moment in the morning, in the afternoon, and a moment at night. This will cover all three aspects of your lives. The morning before you start the day, the middle of the day while involved in your work, and the evening before going to sleep. Fixed time in prayers gives you the ability to grow and always measure the level of where you are, during the moment when you ask or when you start thinking where you want to be.
A fixed time is necessary if you’re serious about prayers and if you’re serious about your life. It’s not an obligation to some people, but it is certainly a highly recommended concept that you should consider. Prayer is something that use to as develope a relationship with the creator of this world.
Whomever you may be, wherever you may be, a prayer is necessary so that you can establish that relationship; and keep it going at all times. This should be done at a “fixed time”.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 803 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It has often been said that when a person does not increase his knowledge, it actually decreases his abilities. The reason is that each of us is actually created to grow as much as possible in all aspects. That is from a spiritual standpoint, physical standpoint, emotional, or plainly from knowledge. Knowledge is something that you acquire on a daily basis. This can be through experiences that we’ve gone through or attributes that we’ve learned and that we try to enhance upon. But one thing is for sure, everything that we learn, everything that we acquire makes us the person that we are today. If we increase this knowledge, then we become better and each day becomes greater than the day before. If we stop at any given time, we actually decrease the person that we could be, and decrease the knowledge that we’ve acquired. We always stand on the ladder and the question is, “Are we going up the ladder or down the ladder?” Each and every human being stands on a rung. That rung lets us know where we are and a person has a choice to acquire more and become more, or to let go of what they’ve learned. You may say that if you don’t acquire more you understand that you wouldn’t grow, but why would you lose what you’ve had before? In order to keep your knowledge and make it viable, make it so that it becomes useful, you must enhance it at all times. You have to quantify. You have to not only make it greater than it was before, but you have to strengthen it with a passion. Enthusiasm itself is gained on a daily basis from the effects of the life that we live. It’s up to you to use that concept or not. It is better to always increase what you know by gathering more and more information. If you don’t, you’re going down every single day. There is a difference between increasing versus decreasing. It’s all up to you. It’s up to each and every one of us to grow or to stagnate and lose and become worse than we were before. Why not take this opportunity to grow, and learn as much as you can, continuously up and up? Because you deserve it! Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 802 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is interesting that there are some people in this world who seek nothing but fame. They want to be known by everybody and they want to be seen by everybody. They want to be at the forefront of every single story, sometimes within the confines of their lives and other times, wherever they go and wherever they may be. A person who seeks renown is likely to achieve the opposite effect of what is actually desired. This concept is so true, and here’s how it works. When you try to tell everyone who you are, and you want that fame, you may find a simple fame. For instance, at the office you want everyone to believe that you are smarter than everybody else around you. At home, you want to let them know that you are the master and that you are the one that rules everything. Wherever you go, wherever you are at any given time you want to project the image that you are superior and that you are better, greater, stronger, and smarter; all these character traits. Seeking fame at the end will only destroy your personality. What good will that bring you? It will destroy your situation, it will limit your success, it will muffle your passions, it will even distract your goals. Instead of maximizing your capabilities you will actually change your future and destroy all the dreams that you have. Seeking fame is not good. It is unnecessary and often does not serve any purpose. What is good is seeking a good name, having a good reputation, being a kind person, being a person who gives, one who shares. One who shares not only what they have, but also what they don’t have. For instance, you can share your time and you can share your knowledge, you can share your belongings. You can share anything that you want. If you have very little, why not even share a smile with someone else? Smiling takes less muscles than frowning. So, why not smile more often? Why not share with everyone the goodness that you see in the world and the things that you have? Whatever they may be. That is what it’s all about, not seeking fame at any given time.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 801 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There two very important concepts to discuss today. One is the difference between loving peace and pursuing peace. Loving peace is described as a person who avoids a quarrel and someone who tries to the best of their ability to stay away from what is negative or perhaps even a dispute. Pursing peace, however describes what happens when the quarrel has already taken place and there has been a dispute.
It is common for people who have quarreled and are into some kind of an argument to avoid each other. It is then necessary to pursue peace in order to make peace between them. This is such a great attribute to try to do that.
Loving peace applies between a person and his friend, whereas pursing peace applies to one’s dealing with other people. Pursuing peace also is if peace runs away from a person; when your friend doesn’t want to make peace with you, makes disparaging remarks or says things that are not pleasant about you. Then, you should run after him and you should appease that person, that is pursing peace. Pursing peace may sound difficult, so you must make the effort to bring peace between two people at any given time to the extent of even pursing peace, which indicates how much effort must be made to do this. There should be absolutely no limit. The consequences of this action—this self-centeredness and arrogance is usually expressed as the opposite of peace and unity; it prevents the unity of people being together. I’m not sure why anybody would want to be in that situation.
Loving peace and pursuing peace is the ability to nullify yourself and think as though sometimes you don’t matter. It’s true. We may say, “Well, if I don’t matter, what’s the point?” You do matter, just not to yourself. To other people you should be as humble and as simple as can be. Let the humility take over you, so much so, that pursuing peace and loving peace become two of the most important character traits of your life and everything that you do. I can tell you for a fact that when you love someone, and you love everyone the same way, and you pursue this love “in” everybody and “with” everybody, not only would benefit you but also the whole world. Your life will be above and beyond what you’ve ever imagined.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 800 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I read a message today from a man with an incredible story. He wrote that he had listened to one of my podcasts and hearing the message, he decided to change his life. By changing his life, he was also able to affect other people around him including his spouse, the relationship with his children, and also the attitude that he had at his job. His life had been completely changed. I wondered, what was it he heard that I said which was so unique or special? He wrote in his message: "It was nothing you said, but rather it's the words that were expressed in what you said." It's interesting how by making a podcast or sending a message, you can affect people on the other side of the world. This person lives miles and miles away from here, in a different country, speaking a different language, but he heard one of the podcasts and it affected his life. Is this what you're all about? You and I, changing the world? The answer is “Yes”. Each and every one of us was given a mission. Some with our money, some with the power of our speech; some with our strength; some with our ability to help others, some with just being there for people. Whatever ability you've been given, whatever blessings you find yourself into, know that this is an opportunity for you to change the world and make it better, not just for yourself but for others around you. Use every single opportunity that comes your way to do a good deed, to do good things for others and make others feel better and see themselves greater than they are. Take every opportunity to make someone smile, to give them hope if they are desperate and in a dire situation. Give them a hand, give them some guidance with whatever capacity you can. Know that if you've met those people and they came into your life at that very moment, it's because you've been given a mission to help them. You can do that. Don't let any of these opportunities pass you by. Know that everything happens for a reason and the reason is because you are there to care. Make it happen.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 799 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I have given many lectures throughout the world pertaining to many different subjects. Just recently, during one of my lectures, several of the people who were sitting in the front had tears in their eyes; unexpected tears. Something that I said, a concept that I spoke about, a story that I told, an idea that I shared had caused those tears to come down their cheeks.
Now, you may say, "Is this the right thing to do?" If you affect people and they react in such a way that unexpected tears come out, you know that you have touched their heart. You know that you have come into a place in their life where goodness resides. Through your words, your story, your cues, your examples, or even whatever it is that you shared with them as an idea, somehow brought out an emotion which caused their tears to come down. This is the right way to do what you want to do. This is the right way to give a lecture.
A speaker can touch the heart of the listeners, of the audience, without saying too much and leading in the right direction. Affecting them to the point where tears come out unexpectedly, then you know that you are giving the right message. Now, that doesn't mean that every single message should cause the audience to cry or that every single message should cause them to laugh. But it means that every single message should create an engagement; and that engagement in their mind should have a reaction. You want to make sure that as you're speaking to someone else, an audience, a group of people, or even to one single person, that they walk away from the experience feeling greater about themselves than they did before they came to that conversation.
That's the secret of a good speech, a good orator, or a good audience listening to the speaker. That's the secret of a great message. I was touched by the fact that they had tears coming down their cheeks, but I was pleased at my message because it's reached their heart. You want people to feel and know that when they walk away, they are different than when they first came in. They should be different. They should be touched, and you can feel confident that your message had great values. This is what unexpected tears is all about.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 798 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Recently I was on a flight, I was scheduled to fly at a certain time. I arrived at the airport on time. I registered and gotten my ticket and my boarding pass. Everything was according to plan. But for whatever reason, everyone had gotten on the plane except me. They said they didn't have a seat for me. I couldn't understand what had happened. I calmly approached the desk and asked the stewardess, "What about my seat? I have not been assigned a seat?"
She said that my name had been bumped off. The airlines had overbooked the flight and one name was bumped off, mine. I had flown many, many times over the years. This has never happened to me.
I was in a quandary because I had a business appointment. My flight was going to be now delayed and I would not be on time, and many people were waiting for me to make a presentation. What should I do?
Being bumped off is not something which is desirable yet it's not controllable. I didn't have a choice. I certainly didn't ask for it. As a matter of fact, the airline had asked prior to the flight leaving, if there were anyone who would be willing to give up their seats in exchange for a possible compensation. I did not answer that question because I personally needed to be at my destination on time. But I was still bumped off.
The lady looked at me in a kind way and said, "I am so sorry," and all I could do was accept it. I was given a small voucher so I could get something to eat from the food court. Then I waited, and stayed there for another several hours in anticipation of the next flight. Later, I was given a different flight which, of course, got me to my location much later. I accepted this with grace.
You see, they could cancel my flight but they couldn’t cancel my day. They could affect the things that they have, but I knew it was not intentional. This was something that happened. I was just part of it. I could look at this and think I was a victim but I considered this a blessing. I used this opportunity to catch up on the rest of my work and do things which I didn't have the time to do before and complete my day, and I arrived a little later, but it all turned out to be good. That is the way life is.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 797 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Often the questions come to parents on how to raise their children. What should they do, and how should they approach situations as they arise throughout life? Often parents are not sure. It seems with all the books and all the research that has been done over the thousands of years, we have yet to write a manual that would be used by every single parent, which would give us the answers of what to do and how to raise our children properly. That is by far the most difficult challenge any one parent can go through, how to raise children properly. I have a suggestion for you. As a father, and grandfather, something I have learned may be a solution to one of your challenges. I’m not saying this is unique, or perhaps the answer to all of your questions, but this may be one advantage. Children have to be taught on what to do and how to follow their instincts versus their discipline. If you were to teach your children “selective listening”, this would be the most important skill that they could ever have in their life. Tell your children not to spend too much time on the voices that don’t count. Every child, and every human being has two voices. One which would carry that person to do good and the other one would be pushed to the negative. Don’t spend too much time on the voices that don’t count. Voices that are going to add too little worth to your future are voices that are unnecessary. Don’t waste too much time on shallow and silly things. Tune the voices out when they are not good, and learn what the good things are that will make you a better person. Tune in the voices that are going to add something to your life, and the life of everyone around you. By sticking to this concept, and understanding it, children will then realize that these two voices, which are antagonistic to each other, can be controlled. You would have given them the best gift of life in my opinion, on how to develop the skill of “selective listening”. This will give them tremendous opportunity to choose for themselves what is best. Now all you have to do is get them to understand it. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 796 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever heard the expression, “Leave me alone”? It seems that when someone says this to you, or anyone else, this expression has a negative connotation. “Leave me alone” may sound like, “I don’t want to be with you. I don’t need you and I don’t want anyone around me. I just want to be by myself.” The truth is, a “leave me alone” time can be the ultimate gift to yourself on a daily basis. Every single day we manage to go through obstacles, and at times try to overcome some of the most difficult challenges that we have in our life. Sometimes we succeed and other times it seems that we don’t succeed. One thing is for sure is that we try our best. For those of us that do our utmost to overcome all these challenges, it may seem that we fail at doing what we want to do. There is no failure – failure is only when a person does not try, that is failure. But when someone gives their best and tries the most that they can, that is not failure. That is just an exercise which may need to be refined in one way or another. On a daily basis, I strongly suggest that you have a “leave me alone” moment. This is a time when no-one and nothing, out there or close to you, should be in your way. This is a time for you to reflect and find out whether or not that day was as successful you wanted, or also the way that you would have liked it to have been. The “leave me alone” moment is your time. It’s between you and the Creator to decide whether or not that day was filled with imagination that took you to a different level. It’s your time to decide. It doesn’t always happen that you get what you want, but it always works out that if you are determined to have a better day on the next day, you will. So, “leave me alone” time is a time of reflection. It’s a time of introspection. Something where you and the Creator get together in a moment of urgency and say, “How was the day? What can I do to make it better? What can I do to become nice? What can I do to grow? Where can I go? Who should I see? What, perhaps, was the one aspect of the day which I wish I could have changed?” By you doing this, you’re now prepared for the next day. When you say, “Leave me alone”, it is not necessarily negative. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 795 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond It is quite incredible, when you think about the power of a shadow. Depending on the time of the day the sun’s location in the sky, the very same object’s shadow will be either short and fat, or tall and thin. Since your shadow is always with you, it is actually a built-in compass. As long as you are not in the forest or a city of skyscrapers, your shadow will be there with you until you sleep. It’s also a ready-made source of outdoor fun for kids. Do you remember when you were younger and actually tried to chase your shadow? It was always a lot of fun. Just as the movement of a person’s body is reflected and magnified in his own shadow, every step of our conduct in this world arouses spiritual forces of incomparable power in the universe. Think about this for a second, it is a magnifying concept. Every single action we take in the physical world and every single deed we do, has a reaction and a ramification in the whole universe. The concept of our conduct in this world, which impacts the spiritual worlds, and the whole universe, is not really just as physical actions – it also includes even our words, and even our thoughts! It’s quite amazing. What that means is that every action you do and every thought you have, has an effect on the universe. Is it positive or negative? Don’t think for one second that this is just limited to thoughts, it is not. Thoughts are not only important, they are also extremely beneficial or, G-d forbid, detrimental. Nothing can stay that way. If a person is thinking very hard about another, that other person actually gets a reaction – either emotionally or physically. They have been touched. Know that your thoughts and your action are monumental in this world, therefore whatever you do when control your thoughts and actions, always be geared towards the good; always to be geared towards the great and others. Not at the expense of others, but in the service of others. By doing that, you will lead an incredible life and leave an amazing legacy. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 794 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are people whom we love and those whom we respect. There are also those that we miss. A way to keep in touch with them is to call them. To some it may be difficult because it's been quite some time since you've spoken to them. To others it maybe not as simple because you may have had an argument with them and you feel that that call will not be beneficial. And for others, you don't want to call because you don't have much to say to them.
My suggestion is just to make the call.
Whoever they are, if you know them and they are acquaintances of yours, make the call. Call them to wish them a good day. Call them to tell them you miss them. If you've had an argument with them or a disagreement, call them to make up. Call them. That was the sole reason why the phone was invented, so that you can make the call. So that we can bring people together and communicate while we're away from each other. That is the sole purpose the phone technology was created.
You see, it makes a difference when you look at it this way?
Use the phone and make the call.
Make the call to everyone to whom you think you owe an apology.
Make the call to everyone to whom the other party thinks you owe them an apology.
Make the call to everyone you know and tell them how much you miss them.
Make that call to all the people who are connected to you or who depend on you.
Make the call to everyone that you know in your life at least once in a while, to remind them that you're thinking of them.
Life is all about connecting with one another. The world is such that we are all one human body spread in multiple different ways throughout the world. We make up one human entity with different hearts, different minds, all united, irrespective of ethnicity, color, creed, religion. We're all one people under Heaven and the one G-d.
The phone technology was created for us to keep in touch with one another. So don't think so much about the situation or the condition, or what will the other party say; or what it will be, just make the call. I guarantee you that when you make the call, the words will come out perfectly. When you speak from the heart, it will enter their heart. The words that come from the heart enter the other person's heart. All you have to do is make the call and open your heart.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 792 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Life is all about “me.” Often people say things such as, “The world was created just for you.”
Now if that is true, then the question is what are you going to do about it? There are things that we need to be selfish about. Those things are particular to what it is that makes us different than others. But selfishness is not a good trait.
It is interesting when a person says, “Everything is all about me at the end of the day.” This is subjective to selfishness and conflicting interests. But if you pay attention to other people and the collective effort focused on being unselfish, it not only brings unity among people but it brings success in everything that you do.
Seeking selfishness, being selfish, or liking to be selfish does not get you anywhere. It just keeps you, yourself in your own world. “All about me” means that the world was created so that I, as an individual and human being, have the opportunity to make this place where I am today and wherever I go, a better place. It doesn’t give me the right to think just about myself.
To the contrary, it’s an opportunity for us to help everyone else.
Being selfish is not a good trait. It is a negative trait which can only bring you down and turn the concept of “all about me” to “just about me.” What you should be saying is, “The world is all about me so that I can make everyone else about themselves greater.”
That is a different look on the world. “It gives me this opportunity to make it not only better, but to shine with them, through them, to take the world to a better place.”
If you think about it, why would you want to live by yourself on an island? You would not even need a name because who would call for you? You would be by yourself. When you live with people, as most of us do in metropolitan areas and cities, we continuously interact with other people; especially given the advancements of technology today. Look how close that we can become with one another.
Why not make this world just that? Use the opportunities available for you to share, give, and tell everyone all the things that you know. Let others be better so that it’s not all about “me” anymore. It’s all about us and making this place a wonderful, wonderful place.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 791 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are three vices which are important to know and to learn about: envy, lust and the perception of honor. These three vices weaken a person’s physical health and, interestingly enough, can drive a person to destroy his spiritual life and driving him away from all the good things. Each person is born with these three vices. If it’s allowed, nature can take its course, and these vices will actually drive this person away from bliss. Away from eternal bliss, goodness, health, and happiness. But a person can also choose to purify these vices and use them for good. For instance, envy either used to be jealous of those who are spiritually superior, or a person should try or yearn to become just like them. That would be a good use of envy. Another example, lust can be used for the pleasure to be closer to the Creator of the world, and not for anything else. This will make it a holy purpose. A third one would be honor. It says, “Who is honored?” He who honors others. In other words, if you honor other people you yourself will be honored. When experienced in a good and healthy way, these three vices may remove a person from the physicality of this world. They take them into a transformation in a transcendental way, which is beyond and above anything that most human beings can understand. This doesn’t mean you become an angel but it does mean that you will become greater, better, stronger, wiser, and even holier. These three vices; can be controlled. to try to abate them is an impossibility. Why not use them for the good things in life? We don’t have options as to what we’re born with. We don’t have options, many times, as to why these vices are stronger in some of us rather than others. But, we do have the option to control them. Take these vices and direct them as a conduit to the much greater of the whole of what we have. This is what it’s all about. Take these habits and vices which are possibly negative and turn them into tools for yourself to become better. That becomes the ultimate in life. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 790 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Sometimes you will speak to people who say, or perhaps even you say, "I keep falling. I keep making the same mistake that I made over and over again. Even though I try to be better. I try to overcome these challenges yet I keep falling. I keep falling in the same mistakes and sometimes even more so than I did before. I keep falling. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, no matter what happens, there's another obstacle, and I keep falling, so what's the point? What should I do? Why do I keep falling?" Here is the answer to that question. It's not "you keep falling," look at it as "you fell,". It's just an incident, that's it. You may say, "Yes, but this incident keeps on coming back." Break it down into multiple incidents and take one at a time and rationalize on how you can and should make that one incident better. When a child, for instance, tries to walk for the first time in his life, he gets up and he falls, and he gets up again and he falls. Then he gets up again and then he falls. How many times will he try? As many times as it takes. He will not stop. What if he falls and hurts himself and cries? He will try again. What if he thinks for that moment that there's no way that he can get up? He will find another way to make it happen and he'll get up again. This is how a child learns how to walk. He will try over and over again. Are these failures? No; this is how you learn, this is how you grow. If there are things in your life that you regret, things that you've done which are improper, or for whatever reason, should not have been done and you recognize it, then that's the beginning of goodness, that's the beginning of success, that's how it starts. What you have to do is look at these incidents individually and make the clear determination and promise to yourself that you'll stop. Don't think of what will happen tomorrow and certainly, don't say, "What's the use? What's the point? I'm going to fall again." Don't say that. Know and believe that this is the last time you fell and you won't fall again. That's a guarantee. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 789 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times in our lives when we feel that the challenges are bigger than we are, and we are not able to overcome them. It seems that, in an unconditional way we’re not going to succeed and things are very, very difficult. This is an option that we have. We can live in this anxiety, and we can live with the passion of knowing that we are going to eventually come out of it, but with sadness. Or we can overcome that. At times you are not sure, because things are challenging and difficult. You may not know where you’re going or whether or not the outcome will be what you would like it to be. If you’re down, go ahead and sing. You can hum or you can sing. I suggest you sing to yourself without words. Make sure that the song that you’re singing is something that you heard once that touched your heart. I have such a song in my life. I remember that when my own Mother used to put me to sleep she would sing a song. That is the song that I remember, and that is deep inside my heart. It left an unconditional, undeniable, unquestionable trust in my own heart. Whenever I feel that things are challenging, difficult, or at times overwhelming, I just sing that song. I remember it and I will always remember it. Find that song. The one that touched your heart, that affected your mind. The one that was able to take you to a different universe just by humming it. In the middle of that challenge you will find that so many beautiful things happen. By singing the world will open up. It will seem that it is Spring even though it may be raining outside. It will seem at that moment that the whole world really doesn’t exist. Now you may say, “Well, that is not reality. Reality is that I am facing this challenge.” That is true. But when you’re down and about, and not sure where you’re going, sing a song and your world will change. That this is the beginning of what you want to do in order to get out of where you are at that moment. Down is only a passing event in your life – it’s one moment in your journey. That’s all it is. By singing you will elevate yourself onto a level of unprecedented, unmatched, unparalleled goodness. Use it. Use it to achieve your confidence and to attain your ultimate with trust and happiness.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 788 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
We all go through life experiencing various conditions which make it difficult at times to overcome, and sometimes even scary. We're not sure of some of the things that are happening and we're not sure of the future. Sometimes, even though it looks promising, it's not what happens; so what do we do? Some advice which I think could be beneficial if you were to do it properly. It is called meditation.
The power of meditation can truly help you, and that doesn't mean that you're going to your room and get yourself into a strange position and start humming; that is not meditation. Meditation is the ability to close your eyes two, three times a day in a peaceful environment and recount of who you are and try to figure out where you are going.
Ask yourself the question, “Am I doing the right thing? Am I going in the right direction? Is everything I'm doing benefiting myself and the world?”
If the answer is yes, then keep it up.
Human nature is such that we change our ways and often we make mistakes, which we regret. You should meditate at least two to three times per day. Now, we're not asking for you to take off several hours per day to do other things than what you're supposed to do, no, that's not what you need. Meditation should jus take a few minutes. Stop and think where are you, and where are you going?
For those of you that believe and you pray, then this helps but don't let the prayer become a routine. Make sure that you use that time to reflect on where you are, where you have been for the last moments, and where you are going in the near future. Meditation can help you change everything about you. It can help you focus, reorient yourself, and give you direction in your life. Meditation is a secret to analyzing your situation and making it better than it was. Meditation is the ability to overcome the challenges when you truly realize that these challenges may not be as real as they maybe.
Meditation has been used by many people in many different countries. In some countries, it's actually part of their culture. I suggest that you meditate. During the meditation, ask for strength, pray for goodness, and pray for you to become the best that you can be. Pray for clarity, and pray that you are the mission that you wish to be, and the results of that mission to be the best that it can be. It can be done, and you should start right now.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 787 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times, you hear people saying they are mad about a situation, circumstance, or something that has happened to them. For whatever reason, they are just mad. They have at this moment realized that what they wanted, did not get accomplished; or what they needed, did not get done.
Why be mad? What does madness bring to the world. What does the negativity of the madness generated, from this attitude, bring to you or the rest of the world? Absolutely nothing.
Being mad means that you are only downgrading yourself and losing the opportunity to become better. Now you can be bitter about your situation so you can improve; that is a good quality because then things will change. Things will become better. Things will become improved. You will then apply diligence onto whatever it is that didn’t get accomplished. You will electrify yourself; nurture your new passion and reinforce your belief to do the best that you can.
Being mad accomplishes nothing, it actually brings you down. It muffles your ambitions, it takes away your vision, it kills your dreams - It literally suffocates all your challenges. It puts you in a direction which is all negative. You need to realize that madness was only given to us in order to recognize how not to use it.
You might say, “Well, why is this attitude even given to us as an opportunity? Why weren’t we created without the feeling of madness?” The reason for it that is when the world was created, it was created as a balanced entity. With complete, undeniable, unadulterated and one hundred percent freedom to do as we wish. The beauty is that we, at any time, have the choice to be whatever we wish to be, and to use whatever strength we were given.
You could be dynamic, you could be honest, you could be kind and trustworthy, you could be authentic, you could be confident, and you could be successful.
It’s all your choice. Or you could just be mad all day, and just be upset at the fact that nothing is going the way that you wish.
Madness doesn’t help, being mad is not going to make it better. For things to change you have to change. Reflect on your strength, forget about your past, and know that you can make a difference. Then just do it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 786 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond When we have meetings with people the question is, “Is the meeting beneficial or not?” If it is the next question would be, “Is it beneficial to both parties or just one?” For a meeting to be beneficial it has to be able to be beneficial to both. Both parties, as they meet, have to walk away with something. Something which is greater than they had before the meeting. The approach of a meeting should be with respect and affection. The reason for that is because you have to judge every single person favorably, irrespective of what you find out about them. It is necessary to bear in mind that the person that you’re meeting with could be making a self-commitment in their lives or perhaps may not even be responsible. It simply may not be because something they want, but it could be because they may not have had the opportunity to receive the proper education, or guidance, or success that you’ve had. That may be the real truth behind that. If this is the case and you find that this person is not as successful, or bright, or good – whatever you may call good as you are – then you should have devoted pity for such a person. But not the kind as denigrating. To the contrary, it’s necessary at that moment to make the utmost effort to help that person. Help them with love, respect, and in a pleasant manner. Help them see themselves greater than they are. Help them grow. Help them see that success is something that they can achieve with progressive discipline over a reasonable period of time. Help them see that failure is nothing more than the lack of vision. That they themselves can become better. They have this opportunity just like you have, and if there’s something that you know that they do well, emphasize that point so that they can truly be uplifted. There’s a saying that says, “By lifting others, you rise.” That is true. But in order to lift them you have to find the good in them; you have to find the best in them. Then help them see it. Once they see that and they realize how much they can do, there is no telling how far they can go. And who knows? Perhaps one day they might even outdo you. Wouldn’t that be great? That they walked away from such a meeting with great things? Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 785 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
As a parent and, while we are helping our children grow up, we often remind them of how careful they have to be while they play with other children or the habits that we want them to develop. One of them is the ability to be compassionate and sharing. “Share everything you have”, we tell them. “Share your toys, share your bed, and share maybe even your lunch.” We tell this to our children as they are growing up. We want them to be kind, compassionate, and giving.
Sharing is an important component of our lives. As we grow to become adults and many people forget the importance of sharing. They believe that “this” is theirs, that they have earned the right to have it. Or they’ve earned, for whatever reason, the opportunity to use it. It becomes to them a fact. This is my car. These are my clothes. This is my office. This is my money and everything becomes then, just ‘mine’.
Let me tell you something about the word, “Sharing”. Sharing is the ability to recognize that was what given to you was a gift and not to you for eternity but really as a loan. Everything that you have is just a loan. It has been given to you by a Supreme Being to see what you’re going to do with it. To be compassionate, or not. To give, or not.
You have to recognize that the ability to be compassionate and giving doesn’t make you better than the recipient. It’s known and acknowledged that other people also have needs, and perhaps you’ve been given more than them. Sharing means the opportunity to take what you have, not only as a blessing but as a gift, to give to others and share with others.
Think of a book, a great book. Something that you have sitting on your shelf. It has so much knowledge to share with. If no-one reads it, what good is it? It’s just a pile of paper bounded together. But if you were to share it with others, now this book becomes a source of knowledge and perhaps the beginning of ambitions for many other people. It is the same with everything that you own and everything that you have.
Sharing means giving to others, regardless of what you’ve got, and regardless of ownership. Share everything you have – your knowledge, your ability, your kindness, your world. Your love. Share. Share with everyone – you’ll feel better about it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 785 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure that you have met people who are very proud of who they are. Sometimes this pride hinges upon not just “extreme” pride but almost arrogance. What is the point of that? Why be that way?
To be proud is a good thing. It’s showing that you care and that you are confident in what you’re doing.
To be that arrogant, however, has no purpose to it and there’s no benefit to anyone. A person must strive and toil strenuously with patience and friendliness and you can prevail in all things. With a denigrative attitude towards others and inflating your own importance, you lose everything. There’s nothing left for you.
Everything that you want to do in this world is given to you not as a package but as a step. A step in order for you to move up to the next level. Each step is one of the steps of the journey that you need to accomplish throughout the world. And throughout your life.
So, be proud of what? The fact that you were born?
That was given to many other people – billions of people. To be proud of the fact that you are alive? That was also given to other people.
What you have to be is not just proud of who you are, but proud of the actions that you take on every single day and every moment, beware of the things that come out of your actions. The positive combinations of different things that have come about because of the things you’ve done: that is an accomplishment.
Another thing to be considerate of, is not to be proud of whatever actions you’ve done, even if they are good when compared to another person. It’s true, not everyone will do as much as you do. Not everyone is or will succeed, or be successful as much as you may be.
Every single person has an enormous and awesome mission in this world and they themselves can do magnificent things. Everybody is a remarkable person. They can leave a memory in this world, and a legacy for eternity. They may not be in the right circumstances at that time.
“To be proud of what?” is a concept that we need to be reminded of. Yes, there are other people who are not as fortunate. But because you are, then don’t be proud of your actions. Be proud of the fact that you love everyone.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 784 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond How serious is life? How serious should you act toward life? You have to see yourself as though the entire world is held in your balance at any given time, and any one deed that you do could tip the scales for you and the entire world, either for the good or the opposite. When faced with an opportunity to do something that could benefit the world – or the opposite – Knowing that everything in the world is either pulling or pushing you in some direction is an awesome responsibility. It’s awesome because it is given to you and no-one else. You may say, “Why just me? There are many people in this world, and why should I be responsible?” Each and every creation in this world has a purpose. Not just to be there, but a purpose to accomplish its fullest potential. If it doesn’t, then it’s wasted time and it may not have the opportunity to do it again. Every single person has to say, at every single moment in their life, “The whole world was created with me in mind. I have to do whatever I can, to the best of my abilities.” With this awesome responsibility to change this world into a better place to be. Human beings were given the complete free will as a gift. It’s a gift of tremendous magnitude and responsibility but it’s given to us. Other factions do not have that; for instance: animals, vegetation, or the inanimate world, they don’t have free will. They are just there. Their mission is just to be continuously growing within the restraints of their own beings. Human beings have tremendous opportunity. Everything that we have, at any given time, gives us the ability to either shift the world to the right or to the left. To what is good, or what is opposite. You have to see yourself as this very important person that can make a change in this world. With this kind of opportunity and this knowledge, this awesome responsibility, you now are literally armed with the best tools in the world. Remember that there is no challenge given to you that doesn’t come with not only the strength, the courage, but also the ability to overcome it. No challenge ever. You’re never in a position that you cannot overcome it. Knowing that this is an awesome responsibility. I hope you use it well. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 783 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’ve read some statistics recently about some of the most famous people actually became successful very late in their years. Now, what is age?
Does age have anything to do with it? You see, age is just a number. That’s all it is. It’s not the determining factor of who you are, or what you do, or what you’ve done. It’s just a number.
Doing what you love is the only criteria that truly matters. If you’re inspired and motivated by a decision that you’ve made, keep on it. Keep up with it and stay alive, alert, awake, and enthusiastic about life. If you can wake up every morning and be thankful that you are breathing, it’s a strong indication that you’re alive, and not only that, that you are healthy.
The reality is that you are never too young or old to pursue your dreams or even deepest desires. You just have to say, “Yes.”
Yes to everything in life, and yes to who you want to be. How can you do that? It’s very simple, realize what you’ve been given, and realize your potential. Realize your strength, and understand the ambiguities are only created by the imagination of your mind. If you want to be successful, then go ahead and be successful.
You can be whatever you wish to be and you can do whatever you wish to do. The opportunities are a given to you at any given time. When you wake up in the morning, know that this is the beginning of that success that you will truly wish to have.
It helps also when you are passionate about something. It helps because passion gives you the driving ambition to make it even better. Now what are you passionate about? That I don’t know – only you would know that. But, if you wake up in the morning and you are not passionate about something, it becomes more difficult - at times, even impossible – to accomplish those things.
In this case, understand that we’re not talking about money. How much money can you get? How much money do you have? Money, of course, is an important component but it’s not the end result.
What matters is the life that you lead, irrespective of your age. Because the age is just a mark on a piece of paper that lets everybody know where you are, but not who you are.
Be the person that you want to be, and develop the greatest strengths within you that you see. Analyze your dreams and awaken your passion to the level where nothing can stop you. Then age will be nothing more than that mark on a piece of paper.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 782 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There is a place in your life where you reach a certain level of peace and serenity. This place, when you reach it will become the ultimate and most absolutely delightful moment in your life. This is the moment when you live with absolute trust. Absolute trust is to know for a fact that what you’ve done, and what you are doing, is good. Not just for you but for the world around you and the whole universe. Absolute trust means that you have confidence in your actions, and the confidence of all the things that you’ve accomplished, both on your thoughts, speech, and actions. That they’re all connected, but they’re doing the right thing. That they’re going in the right direction. At that moment, you have the absolute trust that everything will be well. Everything will be good. Even though it seems not as a reality but as a dream, or perhaps a mirage, that you are at this point, experiencing challenges. All of them will be overcome, you have the absolute trust within yourself that all will be well and end well. This is a level which is difficult to reach at the beginning or when you are younger. This serenity, peace of heart, and peace of mind that you are not only comfortable with your actions but also know unequivocally, undoubtfully that the tenable and most constructive way that you’ve done everything in your life to be better. Whether you succeed is irrelevant, because success is only a definition by the other party who looks at you. If you know that you’ve done the right thing and that you are going in the right direction, then there’s nothing to be concerned about. Now you may say, “How would I know that?” Look at your actions and look at the reactions of everyone around you. If they are helped by what you do; what you say; what you think; then you’re doing the right thing. If they’re not, then you probably need to change your activities or even think about what you’re doing. This absolute trust means that you are confident based on the reactions and based on the results of everything that happens around you. Why not take this opportunity and review your actions; review your speech; review your thoughts? See if they are affecting the world positively. And if they are, then you’re good.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 781 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “I told you so.” It’s been told to us throughout the years we were growing up, by our parents or perhaps by a friend who cared enough to tell us what they thought. It may have been told to us by someone such as a grandparent, an uncle, or even a sibling. Sometimes it’s told to us by a colleague, or someone we meet who becomes a mentor to us.
“I told you so” – the four most important words that can make a difference in your life. Yet we take these words for granted and hardly ever listen to them.
I remember when my parents, specifically my father, would say to me that his father had told him so many things that he had to do and things that he should be aware of. “Two words to remember”, he would say, “One is behold and the other one is beware.”
Behold of the greatness that there is in the world and the things that you could do. Beware of the things you need to make sure you do not break and/or ever go against. Beware of the greatness of the things that you can do. He would tell me that the Bible itself would have examples, things to follow, things to understand, things to emulate, and warnings.
Things to stay away from. “I told you so” means, “I’m giving you my experience; I’m sharing with you what I know, what I’ve heard, what I have seen, what I understand, and perhaps even, what I have gone through myself.”
When I tell you these words and I repeat them to you, it’s because I understand them very well today. Perhaps more today than I did in the past.
“I told you so” means, “I knew this would happen.” Not because I’m a prophet or because I know things more than you do, but I’ve just been there before “you” could get there. Taking a stroll with one of my children this week, I said those very words. “I told you so.” Not because of something that happened, but as a reminder that it is better to be forewarned today and to remember the things we were taught from our parents, grandparents, friends, colleagues, siblings, and mentors. Remember that what they said was probably true and we should heed all of their advice for good things.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 780 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A wise man said, “Truth is the middle path”. This is so amazing. It may seem like a simple statement, an inclination to the right, to be over-astringent with oneself, and find faults or sins not in accord with the truth. Alternatively, an inclination to the left to be over-indulgent, or covering one’s faults or being lenient in demands of what a person has to do out of self-love. Both of these ways are false. Truth is the middle path. You shouldn’t be too much against yourself, or too much for yourself. You need to know who you are. Truly, who you are.
You might want to take the time perhaps today, if it’s a good day, and analyze your situation. Whatever ambiguities you may have about yourself and change it. If it is your attitude, adjust it. If it is a passion, awaken it. If it is about your future, why not brighten it?
You know what you want and you know who you are. But be honest with yourself in the most truthful way. Use habits continuously, to tell the truth. Be objective on both sides, not one too much to the left or the right.
You have to recognize your strength and nurture your passion. At any time that you wish, you can challenge your dreams if you want to maximize your capabilities. Remove any doubts from you, and at the same time so you can resolve your dreams. To achieve true success and accomplish ambition in all the things that you’ve always dreamt about. Revise your goals and make a decision who of you are. If it’s not what you want, change it.
It’s you, it’s your body and any time you wish you can change it. Not like a tree, which cannot move from where it is. It is well anchored in its roots. But it’s positioned in such a way where it cannot move, it can only grow. You, on the other hand, have the ability, possibility, wisdom and strength to move from where you are and keep on growing. Higher than you ever were before.
That is what you want to do: adapt to the challenges and appreciate what you’ve got. Make this truth, about the middle path, the secret of your future.

Daily Wisdom  â Motivational Podcast â Day 779 â Inspiration: Above and Beyond The concept of counting is an interesting idea. The reason why people count is because they want to review what they have in store or what they own. Although, at the same time, counting also expresses the importance of each individual. By counting all the people around, we know who is there. For instance, in a team we would want to know who are the team members, and are they all in place, so we could count them. The same is in the conscription of an army. In an army they count each individual member. They want to make sure that everybody is on the base. This is because the army is the representation of its own nation. As the soldiers go out into the world theyâre expected, each and every one of them, to act as a living example of their people. The same is true of all of us. We all have a mission in this world to be a true soldier. We are expected to wear our uniforms proudly, we are supposed to act in a manner that makes us obvious that we are human beings and that we serve in this special army. Any observer should easily recognize that we have been drafted by the Creator of the world Himself, and have been charged with the mission to conquer the world with goodness and holiness. This is what our world is all about. We are counted only when we have reached the point of our own spiritual maturity, where we can identify with our divine mission. And this mission is strong enough to enlist in this special army. As long as we exhibit the readiness and the distinction itself of becoming who we are supposed to be, no matter what, then we are counted. You want to be counted; you want to be part of this world, and you want to make a difference. Why not teach our own children, peers, friends, and colleagues to wear the uniform of this army that we belong to, with great pride? Now you may say, âAn army is descriptive of war; why would I want to be in the army?â No, you are mistaken. An army is there to protect its nation, and the army that we all are in right now is to protect the world, and to make this world a better place to be. The world itself cannot survive without a guardian. The guardian is you and I. Make this place the best place, and make your world a proud world, so you and I can be counted tomorrow, as part of this amazing, unparalleled army called divinity.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 778 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever heard about the expression that the “day is short”? Indeed, life is short. There’s much wisdom to acquire, and some people are apathetic, despite the great rewards and numerous blessings that come in pursuing wisdom and knowledge. People forget about the beauty of the world and how much there is to learn. The human lifespan is compared to a shadow. Not a permanent shadow, but like that of a tree or a wall. It’s fleeting, like that of a bird flying through the sky. It is so short, once you realize how short it is and there is so much to be done. Why would you waste your time? I remember when my dear father was alive. I thought he’d be alive forever. It never occurred to me that one day he would pass away but one day, all of us have to go. Knowing this, you should be very careful of what you do because the day is short. Not just some of the days, but every day. The day is very short and there’s so much work to be done. At every single moment, you should ask yourself: Have I done everything I can to make this world a better place to be? Have I used all my strength and all my abilities to the utmost level? Have I been kind to people? Giving, sharing, helping? Have I been loving to those who are close to me? Am I who I am supposed to be? Those are such simple yet vital questions and critical concepts that must be continuously reviewed and asked about yourself. It is interesting that when a person passes away they don’t take anything with them. Not a thing. Only the memories that are left behind them, and some pictures. Maybe some videos. That’s it… Before you go, before any one of us goes, why not make sure that we accomplish all that we can to leave a memorable life and a legacy behind us. Because that is the purpose of life - To make this place a better place for everyone to live, because the life short. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 777 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are times when we have disagreements, disputes, or even arguments with people who we love, and people with whom we should be close to. It may be a spouse, a sibling, a friend, a family member, a colleague, a neighbor, or an acquaintance - Anyone. We get into these arguments sometimes based on things which we believe should be argued about, or concepts, or a philosophy, or even something we feel strongly about. But I ask you, after all said and done, was it really worth it? Probably not; we are the wreckage. To move forward, a person has to forgive and forget. Let it go and never retrieve it. What happens when you do that? Let me explain. If you were to take a rope that was cut or severed and join the two severed pieces with a string and a knot, you would actually create a stronger connection between the two pieces than had existed before they were severed. It’s quite incredible, but it’s the truth. Know this fact, since you may possibly have an argument, dispute, or disagreement with someone right now. Whoever that person may be, by you making up with them you will be connected with them more than you’ve been before. This tying of knots will bring you close together; bring you back, and make up. This will help you move forward. You may say, “Well what would be the point of that? I still don’t agree with that person, or I still have this feeling. I’ll live with that.” How does that help you? How does that help the world? Always remember that this could be your last day or, if you wish, that this could be your first day of a ‘happiness and make up’ day. Either way, it is not good to live with strife or among disputes, disagreements, and negativity. You don’t need it, and the world around you doesn’t need it. No-one wants it. But now that you know that making up will put the two pieces of the severed string together, think of how much of a benefit that is. I recommend that if you want to move forward, make sure that you do the right thing. Do it today, don’t wait, don’t delay, don’t even think about it. Just do it, and do it well.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 776 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Isn’t it interesting that sometimes we meet people who feel they are superior than others? It’s hard to understand the reason, but there are many people who do. There is no need to be superior, or feel superior than another.
One must be extremely humble in relation to every person. Now what that means is that you have to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else.
You might ask the question, “Why is that? Why should I consider myself less? Why not better, especially if I believe I am? Or at least equal?”
Objectively speaking, how can you consider yourself less meritable than another? Who actually at times may appear themselves to be unworthy of your own estate? What you have to bear in mind is that you should never judge anyone until you’ve actually stood in his place. Once you reach this place and you actually are in that same situation, then you will know.
We all have our own challenges. The fact that we don’t succumb to a particular temptation while another person does, doesn’t make us superior to them.
Who can measure the effect of upbringing?
The environment? Or the inborn character or the weaknesses against the temptation that anybody faces?
Who can say how they were affected by everything in their life?
We don’t know, we have absolutely no clue of why other people do what they do. But one thing we do know is what we do, that we can control. I can control myself and my environment, and I can influence others to make it better. What they do should have no effect on my actions.
If I see someone who is not in a good place, why not wish them well and help them if it’s possible to be better and reach a better place? This is the way we could make a better place for the world, and for every one of us.
It’s not a question about superior or not; it’s a question of what is your duty? What is your mission? How would you like to affect this world, while you’re here on earth for that period of time?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 775 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought about the source of light? Where does light come from? It is said that only in the space of the universe, the heavens and on the earth where the body of thesun’s glow is not present. All that is seen is but an illumination that emanates from it. What that means is that the rays themselves which can be seen or felt but the light and radiance that appears to the eyes of all the beholders, has actual existence as we know it and here the term existence can really be truly applied to it. The sun’s light and the rays, as they appear outside the sun glow, can be said to exist as much as we can see them. But in its source, in the body of the sun, the sun itself. What is the source of that light? Where did it come from? How did it appear? Of course many scientists will come and say, “Well, there was this theory, and this other theory.” All theories that come together are based on speculative concepts. The word speculative in itself means non-scientific, or almost like a “guess”. Speculative means, things that people believe but cannot be reproduced as it would be as the word scientific. Because scientific is where it would have been, not only produced and proven, but it could be reproduced and it could be seen by the naked eye. No-one can truly say the “source of light”, or the “source” of where the world comes from. Just theories, that’s all people can say. Since they all have a theory, and of course I’m not a scientist, but I also have a theory. Here’s mine – which is shared by many people. Why not believe in the oldest book which was written in this world, that we know of, called the Bible? Why not believe in its theory, and that is that there is only one G-d above us all, that created the world? An ordinate, very specific, process. Using all the goodness in the world. Now, once you agreed to that then you’ll admit that there is a Creator. Whatever the Creator wishes, that’s what we need to follow. Life is not complicated. People make it complicated. Why not just follow the right path? Make this world a better place than it ever was before you came. This is your mission in this world. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 774 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond Have you ever thought of the fact that there are billions of people in this world, and yet you cannot find two people who are alike? Not even twins. They may have character traits, maybe views of the world, or even physical appearance that may be similar, but not exactly the same. This means that the world is unique and so is every single person in this world. Now there is a fundamental principle in philosophy, and that is that the mind itself, by its innate nature, meaning from birth, rules over the heart. It must be subservient to the heart for the purpose of the world. It does so by utilizing the intellect as well as the comprehension, and the profound contemplation of the greatness of our mission in this world. There is a Ruler, or whatever you wish to call this Being, this Ruler, this Creator, something must be controlled. The world itself didn’t just happen by innate nature developing itself. It just wouldn’t make sense. So, what is the role of a person in this world? What is the mission? Well, my humble opinion is based on writings and many books that have been written. “A person must subordinate his heart at all times, control his emotion, but use the mind to do so. To know how to act; how to walk, how to talk, how to think, and how to share. How to do everything in this world. It cannot be ruled by emotions.” If you were to rule everything by emotions, you would be almost like instincts. That’s what animals do – they react by instincts. We human beings have a special mission in this world, to make it a better place for goodness and greatness to be throughout the universe, at all times. In order for us to do that, we have to pay close attention to all of our actions. This fundamental principle that is in the mind, must subordinate the heart at all times is vital to you and everyone around you. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 773 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are certain character traits that a person should train himself to follow. Part of the reason for that is because the person that you are, and the one that you are becoming, is the one that will make a difference in this world. It is not only a good deed, but also important that every single individual loves and cares for everything about themselves. Not just their body, their doings, and their actions, but also everything that they own and whatever it is that they acquire. Another character trait that you should be careful of, is to always speak favorably about other people. And also, you should care for their honor and their property as you care for your own. You see, a person who seeks to glorify himself through his colleagues’ dishonor won’t have any benefit at all. Not only will there be no benefit, to the contrary only stress and more opportunities for apprehension and negativity will be born from that. It will serve no purpose whatsoever. So, why not think of the opportunity for you to be loving and caring over others? By training yourself and educating and redirecting your character traits, you will become better, greater, and change the world around you. You will make an opportunity for everyone around you that appreciates and loves to be around you. This is not the reason to do that. The real reason is because your mission in this world is to enhance the world to become a better place than you found when you first came. That’s really what it’s all about. Take the time and think about all those people around you and the way you affect them. Take the time to realize that the greatest reward waiting for you is that you yourself, will be able to say with integrity that you’ve made this place a beautiful world for everyone to use, and everyone to live.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 772 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are times when lessons come to your world and you wonder, “What was the purpose of that?” The answer is simple, for you to work towards yourself and towards the service of the Creator of the world and everything that you do to make it better. It’s a lesson.
The philosophy of goodness, kindness, and greatness emphasize all of these points. It’s very basic if you think about it. By definition, we are asked and demanded to live a life that requires and gives little more than we have. A little more effort and little more in the duty of mind of things that what we do. A little more dedication, a little more in depth, a little more enthusiasm, and enthusiasm itself provides for a breakthrough in overcoming any limitation.
People are endowed with a good measure of enthusiasm. It’s buried deep into each person. If it’s channelled properly in the right direction, we can strengthen and illuminate the world with goodness in everything that we do. We just have to remember these words: “A little more.”
When you give of yourself, give a little more. When you give a tip, give a little more. When you try to help someone, give a little more. When you try to become better, to yourself and to your past, give a little more. Give a little more of yourself and realize that you have so much to give. You are created as a perfect example of the ultimate you. The ultimate person that you can be. That’s you, that’s me, that’s all of us.
Why not use this? It’s etched in the very concept of our life. It is encrusted in our own character. Use that to shine in the world and make this place a greater place.
Know that you have everything that it takes to get there. I’m sure for those of you that have listened to my podcasts or have been reading this collection have heard this so many times. This is only because it is the truth. The truth itself is incontrovertible. It is not ever changing; it repeats itself and it will always be there. Use this concept and be a little more than you have been.
Give a little more, study a little more, and apply yourself a little more. That’s all that’s required of you. Just a little bit more than you did before. You will be amazed at the results and you will be impressed as where you’re going to end up. The things that you could accomplish, by doing just a little more.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 771 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond When we think about our life, often we think of good things, and things that make up the person that we are. A lifetime, spans a certain amount of number of changing stages. There’s childhood, boyhood, youth, and young adulthood, and even advance in years. These years can make a difference. They not only make a difference in who we are and who we become, but also in the places that we go to. People also vary in their gifts. These are called gifts of life, whether they’re common or mediocre in the way that we look at them or even luminous. This is the same thing with people’s nature; a person can be bashful, joyful, or even exuberant but, apart from all these variables in every one in the course of a lifetime Divine Providence engineers particular periods which sometimes change a man’s very nature. It’s quite amazing that we can develop these gifts, the gifts of life. These set up each person to a particular height, so that he can gaze upon the ultimate purpose for which the man was created. This is why life on earth becomes so special, so particular. We don’t know why some of these gifts are given to us, and we don’t know the reasons why some of those gifts are not given to others. When you are faced with a challenge, this ability to grow is not about who you are, or the things you’ve done, or the type of personality or nature. It’s about the accomplishments. The things that you can do to make it in this world. Those accomplishments are all the actions that are needed of you. If you pursue these actions, if you do these good things, you would have accomplished all that you were raised and born to be. Quite interesting. That’s what life is all about. Don’t ever be fearful of challenges, and don’t ever curse the days that are difficult, or the tests that are coming your way. They’re all good. They are all good and they’re all there for a purpose. And you must know, and believe, that they’re there to make you better. Not, G-d forbid, to hurt you – but to raise you to a level which you had never expected before. These are the gifts of life. Enjoy them, nurture them, copy them, and ask for more. Only so that you can be better. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 770 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I met a man once who was blind. Basically, he couldn’t see what we can see. But he could certainly feel. He could feel and understand it, so much better than most human beings who have the vision. He was sightless. He couldn’t see the things in the way that we saw them, but he saw them in a different way. His blindness did not stop him from becoming an incredible person.
He once asked me to describe to him a color, and he said, “Describe what you see in front of you in the tree.”
As much as I tried, I couldn’t describe the color green. Because I had no idea of what it would be like if it wasn’t green.
He asked me to describe it in a way that would make sense. What it would feel like. The only way he could ask me to do this properly was to ask me to close my eyes and imagine, since it was dark now for me as well, what it would be like to see that tree.
It was an amazing experience. I remember that he led me to different paths in my life. Every time I have a challenge or a question, or at times not quite understand where I’m going, I think of this man.
This man was introduced to me by my own father, because actually my father used to walk him home every week. My father would say to me, “There’s so much to learn from this man. Even though he cannot see with his eyes, his heart, his mind, his actions, and everything speak so loud that he understands everything about the world.”
I became close to that man myself. I will never forget that, and today I am a father and a grandfather. I have been blessed with a beautiful family. When things are difficult or challenging, this is what I suggest to you: close your eyes and imagine that you can’t see what it is that you are looking for. But look for the pathway, look for the answers.
Imagine for a moment that you are being blessed. Or you’re being faced with adversity or a challenge, draw toward you the inner strength that you didn’t even know existed – and at that moment you’ll successfully accomplish your goal.
We’ve all heard stories of parents lifting cars over a small child because they were trapped underneath, and other things which are unbelievable. In a normal situation, some of these things can not happen; but when you are challenged, this is the time that you have the strength to do anything that you wish. Learn about that.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 769 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There’s an interesting story about a man who was clearing the stones and rocks from his field. They were disturbing the growth of his produce, so rather than disposing of them in a suitable area he just did what was easiest for him at the time. He just threw them onto the path in front of his property. Passing by one day, as the landowner was at the time clearing his fields, and another older man came by and said, “What are you doing? Why are you throwing stones from a place that isn’t yours into a place that is yours?” Well, the landowner stopped his work for a moment and he looked at who was speaking to him. He then realized that the old man must be a fool. He laughed at him and he said, “What are you saying? The opposite is true. You see, I’m throwing stones from my land on to public property.” The old man shook his head and he passed by. Throughout the rest of the day the field owner remembered this conversation and he would break out in laughter every time he thought about it. He continued to clear his field, throwing the stones on to the path. He thought this was the best way to do it. Not too longer after, the landowner found himself burdened with a huge debt, and in order to pay for it he had to sell his field. After which he became a laborer. One day, as he was walking home from work, he began reminiscing about the good old days. Since he was not concentrating on the path in front of him he tripped over a rock. This was in the path, and he fell flat on his face. As he managed to lift his body up, he looked and noticed. “Why,” he said, “this is right in front of my old fields. This is what I used to own once and the stone I’ve just tripped over is one of those stones, if I recall, that I had thrown from my field onto the public property. And now this path belongs to me, like everybody else who passes by and it caused this accident for me.” You see, we don’t expect that anyone will trip over some kind of candy wrapper, or receipt or some things that we just throw. We just toss it out on the sidewalk, or somewhere. We don’t dream of littering the house that we live in, or letting our guest or children do the same. But we don’t pay attention when we are outside. Why not pay closer attention to that? Because the great outdoors is also our home. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 768 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are many people who unfortunately live with doubt. This doubt is clustering their mind, taking them by surprise every single day and holding them hostage, not being able to move forward or think positively. They’re doubting what they can do, they’re doubting where they can go, what they can see, what they can accomplish. This doubt brings them not only into captivity, but it keeps them from moving forward. Now what are they doubting, if you think about it? They’re doubting not only the abilities of their own capabilities but they’re also doubting the Creator of the world that says, “You can’t do anything. And if you try, you might not succeed.” Why think that way? Why even believe that you can’t accomplish so much and do greater things? Why even believe that you are limited? Think about this for a second; a tree has the ability to grow, but how tall? How tall will be determined by its velocity, it will be determined by its nature. It will grow and grow and grow. A tree will not limit itself at any given time. It will keep on growing. Now if a tree can do that, don’t you think you can? Of course, you can! You have to realize that it is the responsibility of the Creator of the world to provide abundance in everything that you do. Extraordinary success, both in material and spiritual matter, and through ordinary mediums, things that you might not even imagine. There are measures of blessings that will be abundant for you. They will appear and shower your life – you just have to believe it. Now it’s easy to say, “Well, but my past shows that I have not been blessed. I’m not successful; things are not moving my way and I’m not moving forward.” Are you sure about that? Are you positively sure that your life is not successful? Are you possibly limiting yourself in thinking that you’re not successful? Look around you, look at your friends, look at your health, and look at your day. Look at your hands moving, from the simple to the complex. You are able to accomplish much more. Know that you can do it and believe in yourself at all times. Don’t doubt yourself. Doubting yourself is a disease. It starts as an infection and then becomes a disease. But you can stop it by believing in yourself. Don’t be frustrated, be fascinated. Just do the opposite. Turn these good things into greater things. Start from now and you will see that everything around you will change. Did you enjoy the motivational daily podcast?

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 767 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is an interesting concept about human beings, we want to know everything. We want to understand everything and we don’t want to have any questions in our life.
The question which we can ask, “Why does the Creator of the world do a certain thing one way, and another thing another way?”
How can we know that? How can we answer this question? You see, the whole question has absolutely and fundamentally no basis.
Here is an illustration which might make it easier to understand, imagine a small child who is only interested in food, playing, toys, and the like. Let’s say this small child would ask a profound philosophical problem or the construction of an intricate machine. At this point a small child would not know. It would seem to be, in this case, absurd. Even though the difference between the small child and the philosopher, or engineer, is only a degree of difference.
How could the small child be expected to know that? It would be even more absurd to expect any human being to understand the reasons why the Creator of the world has made what He has made. The difference between a human being and the Creator of the world is absolute. Namely the difference between the created being and the Creator is infinite, it is just impossible.
Why am I saying this? There are things in life which you do not need to question, you just need to act. To spend days, hours, weeks, and months on why things happen.
How does it help you? What does matter is what you do about it. What happens, happens to everyone. You can’t control the seasons and the weather; what you can control is the set of your sails. The wind blows on everyone, but the set of the sails, especially your sails – that, you can control.
So, since everything happens to everyone, why worry?
Why be concerned? Why be jealous? Why be upset? Why even wonder?
Why not take care of the things that you have to do, and make the best of it. Do the things that will make this world better. Improve yourself, without worry or doubt. Keep on moving, because that’s what the world is all about.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 765 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
How often are we faced with the issues that tempt us to do things which are not proper? There is a lesson in every one of us. Part of our divine mission involves being exposed to temptation – that is the way the world was created. That is the reason why we were created, to be tempted, to prevail, and to help raise all men and women to a higher level.
It is understood, that we are speaking of tests and temptations which the Creator placed right before us. It is a fundamental belief that man has the capacity to remain steadfast in the face of all difficulties and tests. Any one of them have been imposed to us by Divine Providence.
Man is not any time subjected for himself, or herself, to test temptation. We know that these temptations are there to try and find out if we can circumvent and overcome them. We already know that this is part of the plan.
Speak to any human being who’s an adult today and ask them, “How many temptations do you have in your day?”
They will tell you, “Many. Many, and many more.” That’s how life is.
But, if you know you have the capacity to overcome them, if you know you have the ability at all times to win it over and to be in charge of your life, then it’s yet one more opportunity for you to prove it to yourself and to the world. To prove that you are strong enough, and valuable enough, to do what you wish to do.
The fact that the capacity remains at all times, steadfast. In the face of all difficulties, you can overcome them. So, why be concerned?
Why worry? Why even doubt your abilities at any time?
They were given to you only to bring the best out of you; only to bring out within you what is often not revealed, and hidden. So, enjoy the challenges, and overcome the temptations, completely and at all times, with confidence and trust. Know that once you succeed, you will become a better person than you’ve ever been, since you arrived down here.

Are there times when you feel that other people are trying to impress their own feelings upon you, or their concepts, ideas, philosophies, religion, or anything else that they believe in?
There is an absolute universal standard of morality and ethics that binds all of humanity. This is the truth, this is the way it has to be. This was given by the Creator of the world Himself. It was in such a way that each and every member of society has to be careful of what they do. There are measurements as to what is right and what is not.
The paths of truth, which are endless, are not the same as the 88 keys that we find on the piano. On a piano, each key represents a note, and they lend themselves to endless musical combinations. For instance, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Bach – all these amazing creators of music – didn’t need to create new keys in order to display their creative genius and musical brilliance. They just took those same keys and a combination of their own individual association of notes and made a new song, new music.
That is the way that we have to live in this world. In order to live with someone else and be part of this world, you don’t need to knock them down or make them feel worse than you think they are, or they think they are.
Why not accept them the way they are?
Why not live with people and accept them just the way they are “today”? The way you see them.
At the same time point out to them, from what you see, the beauty of all those wonderful qualities. Point out to them how amazing some of those qualities are participating and helping you become a better person.
Life is about sharing. Granted, some people at times may be, possibly, annoying to you. But then again, are they teaching you something?
Is it because you, perhaps, don’t have enough patience?
Or perhaps humility lacking in yourself?
One thing is for sure, the very fact that you see this negative point in them is because you yourself have a little bit of that. Maybe even more than just a little bit. But accept them, and take that disposition and know for absolute truths, that you and them are two separate human beings. Just like all those beautiful notes on a piano, each and every one of us can live together to create harmonious songs and beautiful musical combinations. Make today, the day that we want it to be.

Where does excitement come from? What is its origin and where does it stop? If you understand your purpose, then excitement begins within yourself. The excitement of knowing that you have a mission in this world.
This is what you have been sent down on Earth to develop: to develop all kinds of concepts in life. Development in nature, processes, spirituality, physicality, and everything that’s around you. Make it grow and make it better. Not only better than it is, but better than you found it when you first got here.
The electrifying concept of what you have to do to replenish this enthusiasm for the daily part of your purpose and your tasks, every day, is “excitement”. That’s the exciting part about life. That you can create your own excitement from what you do and what you have by valuing the process of time.
Time is precious and runs out and is something you cannot recuperate, or regain, for any price at all. No human being can ever regain the time that was lost or not used properly. Once it has passed it is gone forever and there is no way to bring it back. But, you can make sure that from now on the time that is coming will be infused with excitement.
It is that excitement that will show the implementation of the new concepts, new ideas, and new challenges you will overcome. The joy of originality, the power of kindness, and the beauty of sharing. All those things that you want to do – make them up now and have that excitement every single day.
As you wake up, know that it is a new day and you have the opportunity to change yourself and the world around you.

There are times in life when we miss someone or some place. Something that we wish we had again one more time in our lives. It can seem at times that when we had this one person or this one place where we were, we didn’t really appreciate it. That’s the way any one of us feels and you can say it, “I miss you” or, “I miss is.”
I, at times, miss some of the members of my family who are no longer alive. I miss them because of what they brought to my life the passion, capabilities; and making me see dreams which I had not ever anticipated could happen. Giving me the strength to go from day to day and giving me the enthusiasm that I needed at times when things were difficult.
When doubts came into my life, they changed those doubts into a vision and gave me the opportunity to take on a challenge and see that everything that I wanted to do, could be possible. I miss these people. One, more than anybody else, and that is my own father. At times, I wonder if he’s there and watching me, and knowing that I’m there:
What could we do together today?
What direction would we go?
What success would we develop?
The dynamic or the difference, the grace, the kindness, and the trust. He gave me the ultimate confidence when I was there. By missing someone you have the opportunity to realize how good the world is today. This is one more opportunity for you to be sure that the people that you are with you today, that you’re giving them what they deserve: Your time, love, compassion, and sensitivity. But, most of all, your heart. That way you won’t have to say, “I miss them” when they’re gone.
Everyone has to go. That’s a given, but why?
We don’t know why, but we know it happens. Since it is not an option we may as well live with that. Follow those resolutions and accept it with humility. At the same time, do the best that you can, so that these people that you might be missing one day know that today, as you are with them, you give them the best of yourself and the best of what you’ve got.
Life is not always simple – but it’s not complicated. Human beings make it complicated. We can release all the bounds and reinforce all the beauties of the world by recognizing the power we have as human beings – to love one another and create, in this world, the ultimate place to live.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 761 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I spoke to someone yesterday who felt frustrated because he was disorganized. This person told me how upset he was, he couldn’t remember where he put things when he came home, or the last details of the things he had to do, the tasks, errands, or even an important concept he had to implement in their life. It’s simple, disorganization is not to be shunned or to be ignored – it is to be mastered. In order for you to understand disorganization you first have to accept that you are disorganized. Just admit it and say, “Okay, I am a disorganized person. Now where should I start?” I’ll give you some insights as to where you can start in a simplistic way. First and foremost, note that every time you come home, whether it’s the keys to your car or the item that you carry your valuables with, make sure that you put it in one specific place. Keep this as a habit. Make that a determining factor of a discipline that you’re joining today. Next, do everything in an orderly fashion. For instance, as you undress to either take a shower or go to sleep, make sure that your clothes are put away in a specific pattern and in the specific place which they are designated to be. This will give you the beginning steps of organization. Next, as you make your work start off by making numbers of the things that need to get done. Look at that list every few hours and find out if have you kept up with your duties. Keep a list with all the things that you have set out to be at the beginning of the day. Review that list at least once throughout the day, if not more. If that list seems to be completed, then you are on your way to being organized. If you see it’s not, then change it. Realize that perhaps the list is too long or not explicit, or the list itself is not categorized and therefore impossible to finish. In the day, there are only so many things that you can do. Pat yourself on the back when you get them done, and don’t punish yourself if you don’t finish them. Just make sure that you do them within a reasonable time. That is the definition of success: Accomplishing most of what you need to do. Progress within a reasonable amount of time and this will get you organized – at least the start of it.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 760 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond There are several forms of leadership in all of its forms. Forms of leadership in the family, the workplace, in schools, or organizations. Leadership is not about cloning anyone to fit the image or disposition of the one leader. This is absolutely incorrect. An authentic leader must embrace human diversity to be a true leader. The distinction is between people who are a positive phenomenon and things that they bring, are actually not a threat. These concepts are rooted in the leaders’ appreciation of the Creator of humanity. The G-d Himself, the Creator who created the whole world, and since G-d created so many distinct spaces, spirits, hearts, and so many different people, the unique quality of a true leader is one that accepts each and every one of them. The diversity that we see here is sewn in the very fabric of existence. We know that there are no two flakes of snow that are alike, or two people that are alike. A leader’s goal is not to have all of his or her followers look alike; rather it must contain within himself or herself the unique disposition and sole energy of each individual. Helping them and guiding them to maximize their own potential. It is very similar to how the brain itself that guides the individual limbs and organs to function as their particular nature calls for within the larger organism, the body. In a relationship, the goal is not to think alike but to think together. Thinking together means working as one unit, and recognizing there are two separate people. That’s what life is. The beauty of this life and the beauty of being around people, is accepting the way they are, and being able to share with them with confidence, faith, and joy that they are different than you. But together we can think much better. Thinking together means we think in our own personal way, each individually, but we work toward the same goal, to make a harmonious world where each and every one of us can live better. Not by singing the same note, but by expressing our individual notes as an indispensable part of the song. The song called life. The things that we did together. I hope that everyone you meet you accept, and share with them this beautiful concept. It’s worth doing it, it’s worth making our world a better place to live.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 759 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is a concept in life that every challenge we are presented with packs a certain amount of energy. To meet that challenge requires an amount of energy equal to that of the challenge from us. If the resistance is ten pounds, we need to counter it with ten pounds. But we need eleven pounds or more to overcome it.
When it comes to the tension between the matter and spirit, the spirit must apply that much energy, and more to overcome the matter. Physically speaking, two of us cannot sit in the same seat at the same time. This is because physicality, by definition, takes up time and space. In order to share with one another, we have to give up something. If we have food and we share with another, we then have less. If we have money and we share with another, we now have less. Things are measured in a quantitative manner in the world of matter. That’s just what it is.
But spiritually speaking, two people can sit in two different seats a million miles apart and their love is so deep that they’re still just like one seat. For them, to share food or money means giving but also gaining something far more precious.
The matter of spirit, and matter of work, in two different directions are entirely antithetical to each other. Matter, meaning being selfish, always holds on to its own space. The spirit, being selfless, doesn’t have a problem with giving up space any time. But the spirit understands that money runs out, food may spoil, and everything materially eventually will rot and even erode.
Anything of spiritual value, by definition, is eternal, infinite, and unchanging. This means that at every moment of life which becomes spiritualized is immortalized, and the part that you have will reach infinity.
Live physically, because that’s how we were created, but live it in a spiritual way so that you will become infinite at all times, in everything you do – with everyone you meet.

Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 758 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “human perfection”. Does it exist? Is it even possible, and where does it come from? You should know, there is always room for advancement in all matters of goodness and holiness. Since these are infinite, as derived from the infinite itself, there is room for improvement. In the human concept there is no such a thing as “human perfection”. A person must make allowances for others in the same way that they expect. Also, the other to have such allowances coming from them. There’s no way at any time, that any one person can say they are perfect. There’s not such a thing. The world is not perfect, but I’ll argue that is our mission in this world is - to make it perfect and to make it better. To make it what it needs to be. There has to be advances on the future. From time to time, a person only has to make up what he has failed to accomplish. Whether in the past or in the present a person should put extra effort to go a step forward as a reserve for the future so that things can be done appropriately from here on Earth. Human perfection doesn’t exist, but we can come pretty close to it by trying our best. I don’t know anyone who has reached this level, but I have met many people who have spent many, many years perfecting themselves. Giving, sharing, helping, and loving everything and everyone around them. There are some of those people that when you meet them you know that you have met someone who has done awesome things in this world. These are the people that we need to emulate so that we know and we understand how human perfection, although can never be complete, could be pretty close to it. We can meet this level of beauty, transcendence, and transformation. This is an elating concept and not often the best thing that we can do by trying ourselves and not believing in others, but it’s often the right thing to do. Not only believing in what others can do, but what we can do for the world ourselves. Let’s make this the way that we change things. Let’s agree together that this is true and we are not humanly perfect, but we can come pretty close to being the best that we can be. We can try and together we can make a beautiful world.

There are times during the day, or during the week, or other at times in our lives that make a difference. There are also moments that are called the “Ah-ha” moments. We are all familiar with them. It’s the moment when the answers you’ve been looking for travel from your heart to your head and then you say, “This is it!” No questions, no interruptions, just a silent recognition of the desired answer you were asking for. Listen and follow what you need to do.
Sometimes at that very moment you make an important decision. Something that you’ve been looking for and that you’ve been thinking about. Something that has been continuously in your mind and in your heart. Something that you wanted to find out more about. In actuality it is there, and now it makes a difference. You’ve made the decision to become better, greater.
Does that “Ah-ha” moment have to happen at a specific time?
Can you create that moment?
Can you desire that moment so terribly bad that you could make it happen?
The answer is yes.
The truth is, when you know something is good, something is valuable, something has meaning and it has great value you know that you don’t need to think about it. The reason why you may be delaying the answers or taking charge of your life is because you yourself are not sure what you should be doing because of a lack of trust. It’s the fear concept that stays in front of you and reminds you that you might not be able to do all of this, and you might even fail. Let me make a suggestion to you.
There is no reason to fear that any given time throughout your life, you should fear absolutely nothing but G-d, or the Creator of the world.
Now if you say, “That’s good, but I don’t see G-d. I don’t understand G-d and I might not even believe in G-d.” It’s alright this is your opinion and you have the right to do that.
But you know for a fact that there is a Creator; there is a Higher Being in charge of this world. There are things we can’t control such as the seasons, weather, or often why we end up in some places for no absolute understanding. At least, at the time that it happens.
Whatever that Being is, that is that unknown. That’s what you may want to fear. But everything else, you have to have trust. You know for a fact that you can do anything you want.
These “Ah-ha” moments don’t have to happen when they decide – but it can happen when you are ready. It should be today. I wish that for you truly, right now.

You want to know the best way to run your life? The best way to reach the highest levels of happiness and contentment? The time to reach the ultimate level of goodness? To be the one that you dream to be? Then here is some advice that might help. “Run your own life.”
Don't let anyone or anything change the person that you are. Run your own life and don't let this be affected by the mores or the fashions or the dictates, or the direction that everybody else is going into.
You see other people smoking. You know that smoking is dangerous to your health, but it has a certain “cool vibe” around it. It makes you look different, perhaps even more important. Don't follow that.
Even if you are smoking today, why would you do that? Why would you shorten the days of your life, knowing that so many people have passed away because of the smoking? Why would you shorten your life and your ability to affect the world by your presence? Smoking is not good but you say, "My friends smoke, people around me smoke, and it has a certain feeling of authority." It's a mistake.
Run your own life. Decide what is good for yourself. Make sure that it's healthy, make sure that your mind, at all time, can benefit from it. See what it can do for you and then see what it can do for the world. If it can do good, then it's something to pursue. Smoking, in this instance, is not good. Neither is cussing or being angry, or hurting others, or lying, or cheating, or being revengeful. Many of these things are not good. Run your own life, the way you truly want it to be.
Treat others the way you want to be treated and always be kind. Pay attention to the details of the person that you would like to be and be that person. Don't let it affect you and don't let it take you over. So whether it's a vice like a drug, cigarette, overeating, or anything which is of excessive nature, run your own life. Be in charge of it, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because you deserve to be good and affect the world positively.

There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. The external self is the person who shows the outcome of who they are on the outside. It's how they dress, how they act, and the person that they are trying to impress upon others of who they really are. The internal part, is what they feel, what they think, things that are more personal to themselves. If you want your external part to reflect your internal views, they need to match. How would you do that? Very simple. Don't look so much when it comes to the external of others. Let's say you want to buy an outfit, something that you want to wear. Don't look at fashion or the way others dress; that is not you. That certainly doesn't represent your internal part, your thoughts or your dreams, or your aspirations or your being, or your soul, or your ambitions. That's somebody else's. The way fashion is today is to represent the fashion maker, or the fashion of the world. Who are you, and what do you want the world to be? That's whom you need to project to others; use your own internal feelings to decide what you should wear. Same thing with your actions, don't act according to what everybody else does. If you're at a party and everybody else is rowdy and getting drunk, and saying things which are inappropriate, is that truly you? Is that the person you are? Is that the one you're aspiring to be? Are you proud to be in that situation? If the answer to those questions is no, then you need to change that. This is the wrong environment; walk away, then be the person that you need to be. Because everyone is screaming, you don't have to. Because everyone is angry at a situation, you don't have to. Because everyone is upset at a situation, you don't have to. You can be the person that you need to be. The one that represents your internal views, your internal being, and that is the difference between the external self and the internal self. External self is the person you're projecting; the internal self is the one that you truly are. Use that to be the best that you can be and project to everyone whom you truly want them to see.

Have you ever visited the south or met some people from the south? An interesting thing that they say down there; one is “yes, ma'am” or “yes, sir.” Many people refer to each other as yes, ma'am, yes, sir. This is how they speak. It's interesting. There are also some countries that won't call you by your first or last name. They'll call you Mister and Miss. Titles that are given to people.
I find it fascinating that you can be in a place and when you ask them a question, irrespective of the person you're speaking with, they will say to you, “yes, sir,” “yes, ma'am.” This is such a wonderful way to communicate with one another. I find it so elegant and extremely polite. It is not something which they have to force themselves onto. They even have people who speak that way to their own parents. The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she'll say, "Yes, sir," or the mother will ask something of the child and the child will respond, "Yes, ma'am."
It is not a joke, it is the elegance of fascination. It is the beauty of a classy, unique lifestyle. I find it beautiful that people can interact with one another and be polite, be kind, and respectful, regardless of the situation, and irrespective of the position, and it certainly doesn't matter what you're there for. If you do this with kindness and integrity, and be polite about it, not only will you get more than what you had anticipated, but you'll do it with beauty and class. It's a different lifestyle.
You may disagree and you may say, "Well, why can't I use the words that I want to or my own feelings and say exactly what I want?" Being free and being good, and being an exceptional person does not mean you say what you want when you want to. It means to say what you need to without having to force yourself to. Being the best that you can be. So try to answer people from now on, if you think this is proper, by saying, “yes, ma'am”, “yes, sir” and watch the world around you change.

The world is made up of many different people with different characters, different habits, different personalities. It doesn't really matter where you come from or where you are, or what you've done in your life up until now. It is made up of different people. It's just what the world is.
There are three approaches in life. If you've heard about that. There's a saying “As we begin, so it goes” meaning that the way things are going and the way that you start. Great project, for instance, often begin with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and excitement, and energy, and some people are the ones that start setting down new foundations because they found something which was great and it's reflected in their actions. They like to start things, they like to innovate, and this is what they do. That's all they do, and then they walk away.
There are others, however, neither trailblazers nor revolutionaries. They enjoy jumping in, once an important project has begun. This is what they like to do. Now that the project is there, they don't have the vision to create something new. They just want to be part of the project now that it's started, and they want to move with it and they want to keep it going.
The third kind is those that neither start the project nor participate in the labor of building it. But once it's completed, once the project is there, they like to make sure that it fulfills its purpose and it maintains a continuous flow. They like for it to keep functioning.
The one that starts, the one that builds, and the one that keeps it going. Who are you? What about you? What is your life? Are you the one that starts a project? Are you the one that maintains projects? Or are you the person that once the projects have been started and maintained, you like to make sure that those projects keep going?
Regardless of the person that you are, here is one thing that I recommend: make sure that whatever you do, you do it to the best of your abilities and don't stop. If starting the project is what you like to do, go ahead. Start it, engender it, keep it going. Whichever one it is. Pick the one that you do and do it to with every single fiber of your body. That will make a difference, and the others will do theirs as well.

Some people are seeking the truth about everything in the world. They want to know everything before they can accomplish anything. "I want to know my purpose in life. I want to know what is the reason for the world to be what it is. I want to know why I'm here and what is my mission. I want to know this and I want to know that."
They want to know everything. Until they find out, until they're truly in a place where they understand, they refuse to act, accomplish, grow, or become productive. They refuse to. That's quite interesting.
This is an endeavor that will be take forever to accomplish, think about that for a moment. It's the long and roundabout way to do something which doesn't necessarily take that long. Think of it this way; let's say a person wanted to know how the body works and they're searching for the secrets of the functions of the physical body. "How does the food gets converted into blood and the tissue, and the energy, and how does it sustain life?" Now, you can you imagine if that person said, "Until I know exactly how this works, I will not be eating or drinking, until I come to the conclusion of my study."
Everyone knows that even a small reduction in the necessary calorie intake would weaken the powers of reasoning and research and cause a handicap. They may never attain their objective simply because they're going about the long roundabout way. That doesn't make sense. Some things we don't need to know. We know that our minds are limited. We can find out about certain things and certainly about ourselves. Your desire to grapple with some things which are almost above and beyond you, the unlimited, the infinite, are things you can't get to understand by yourself.
If you want to find the truth about the world, and find the real aspect of why you're here, first, do. Do what you're supposed to do. Wake up in the morning and act in a kind way, with integrity, with genuine, unadulterated 100% functions. Use the best that you have. Help other people. Go to work; do things in an honest way, do it with the right character. Improve yourself in every single step. Seeking the truth about where the world is and the reason for the creation of the world is above and beyond anyone's imagination today. One thing is for sure, you can do the best that you can. In seeking the truth, you can become the best person around. The rest will come later; that's a guarantee.

You'll often hear people saying, "How can I be better? What can I do to be the best that I can be, or all that I can be? It's not so simple. I'm not sure where to start, besides who am I after all? I'm not very rich, I'm not very bright, I'm not very popular."
A person can look at themselves in such a negative way. They are just not too sure about what their abilities are, and they often forget exactly what they have in store for them. This makes it very difficult to achieve anything in the world. The truth of the matter is, that with your mind seek the truth and to critically examine yourself with every move that you make. Make sure that it conforms with truth and integrity of character. You can change everything about you, not just about the person that you are, but the person that you used to be, and become totally new.
Quite amazing!
Some think erroneously that in order to do that, one must pulverize mountains and shatter boulders, turn the world upside down. This is absolutely untrue. Any single act, whatever it may be, is perfectly satisfactory when it's performed with a good intent. When it's performed with kindness and patience, with the heart and the mind, hoping to do nothing but good, that's what it's all about. To achieve this, calls for intense effort. Simply learning about who you are and what your shortcomings are. You have to study about yourself, practice to become better, and then teach it to others.
Study, practice, and teach. Those are major components about how you can not only change your life, but the life of the people around you. That is the truth of the matter. It can be done. At any time we have that opportunity. It may not be as simple as it may sound, and it is not easy for everyone, but it is possible for every single person to improve themselves, their environment, and everyone around them. They first have to want to do it and then they have to do it; jump into it and get it done, and this will make the truth of the matter real.

If you want things to be different, better, or greater know that it all begins with you. Any given day you wish, you can discipline yourself to change everything around you. You can change it all, in just one moment.
You can also do nothing if you want to, or you can even pretend rather than perform. This is all up to you – it all begins with you.
You can choose at times, if you wish, to rest; or not work.
You can entertain yourself over growing and being educated.
You can believe in delusion instead of truth or fact.
You can have worrying and doubt over trust and confidence. The choice is all up to you. Everything begins with you.
Though you need to remember that this opportunity which you have been given, has been given to you for one simple reason – to show you that you have the power to change the world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be given to you. Your circumstances are created by your past choices.
Everything that has happened to you so far is attracted by the person you have been so far. The people who search for the good life don’t need more answers or time to think how to reach better conclusions. They just need to see and know the truth, they need nothing but the truth and this truth itself will help them change.
You can’t allow yourself to think for one moment that the errors, the judgment that you’ve completed every day led you to a role path are doomed and are there forever. Don’t believe that – that is not true. You can change that. Activity is one of the most important, basic concepts that you cannot afford to neglect.
It all begins with you. It all begins with you saying, “I’m ready. I want to change. I want things to be better, greater, stronger, wiser, or happier.”
