The Air Around You
March 12, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.95 MBDaily 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 the...
The Need for Hope
March 11, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.74 MBDaily 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 won...
Clothes
March 10, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily 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 protectio...
Tied Hand & Foot
March 09, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.66 MBDaily 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 circumstance...
Good Health Habits
March 08, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 3.15 MBDaily 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....
Striving to be Good
March 05, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily 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 ever...
Seeing the Consequences
March 04, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.76 MBDaily 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 ...
Worry
March 03, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.95 MBDaily 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 ...
Entitlement
March 02, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.46 MBDaily 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, a...
Selflessness
March 01, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.39 MBDaily 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 ...
Facing Yourself
February 26, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily 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 ...
Arrogance
February 25, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 3.19 MBDaily 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 any...
Time Control
February 24, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.91 MBDaily 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;...
A Parent
February 23, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.9 MBDaily 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 ...
Kind
February 22, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.6 MBDaily 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 ...
Merciful
February 19, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.99 MBDaily 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 tr...
Birthday
February 18, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 3.11 MBDaily 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. Celeb...
Bashful
February 17, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.69 MBDaily 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 s...
Angelic Words
February 16, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.9 MBDaily 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 ...
Work in Progress
February 15, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.93 MBDaily 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...
Shades of Slander
February 12, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.97 MBDaily 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 consid...
Holding Breath
February 11, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily 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 a...
Circle of Life
February 10, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.87 MBDaily 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, whe...
Moody
February 09, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.68 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 715 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 me...
Check Your Own Baggage
February 08, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 714 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 worl...
Only You
February 05, 2021 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.97 MBDaily 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 thi...
Guard It
February 04, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.46 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 712 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 Ea...
The Deer
February 03, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.7 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 711 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 ma...
Times Change
February 02, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.6 MBDaily 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 th...
Confused
February 01, 2021 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.67 MBInspiration: 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...
Just One Room
December 11, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.8 MBDaily 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 o...
The Wind & The Sun
December 10, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.72 MBDaily 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. T...
You Never Know
December 09, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily 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...
Acknowledge Reality
December 08, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.91 MBDaily 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 w...
Special Talent
December 07, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.85 MBDaily 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...
Gradual Change
December 04, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.93 MBDaily 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...
Human Perfection
December 03, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.67 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 233 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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, ...
Extraordinary Women
December 02, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.95 MBDaily 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 brea...
First Awareness
December 01, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 3.17 MBDaily 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 wa...
Reclaim Your Life
November 30, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 230 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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....
Time is Precious
November 16, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.9 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 225 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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...
Beginning to End
November 13, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.44 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 222 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 c...
Set Priorities
November 12, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.87 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 223 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 w...
A Soldier
November 11, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.6 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 224 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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....
Unwavering Faith
November 10, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.89 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 221 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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?”...
I Lost a Friend
November 09, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.49 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 220 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 exa...
Words of Goodness
November 06, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.98 MBDaily 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” it...
Peeling an Orange
November 05, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.79 MBDaily 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. ...
Little By Little
November 04, 2020 16:00 - 3 minutes - 2.93 MBDaily 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, ...
My Attitude List
November 03, 2020 16:00 - 2 minutes - 2.62 MBDaily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 216 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond 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 th...
