Daily Wisdom Motivational Podcast

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?”

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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? 

Here's an important concept that you need to know about the world: By doing good deeds you affect the whole world.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Do you realize how long it took for you to be prepared to come to this world? It seems between thirty-nine to forty weeks, which is about nine months. But what about before then? What did it take? And where were you? For you to be ready to come down on earth and to fulfill your purpose, how long did it take you to get ready? Are you prepared today, for the challenges of this life? Are you prepared for what you were destined to be?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Interests are such a valuable concept. The curiosity of a particularly attentive issue that you put your mind to. Follow your interests with your heart, follow your interests with your mind; follow them because they are your future, and a pathway by which you live. The interests that you have is what gets you involved in the world.

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.

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. 

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. 

My grandmother, bless her soul, said something so beautiful that I never forgot, “Do good and forget you did.” It's an interesting concept.

‘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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Fortunate means having good fortune. It is receiving good from an uncertain or unexpected source. It's auspicious and often indicating a good thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have you ever thought about the awesomeness of being a human being? The power that you have to change the world? One person can change the whole world.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
