Listen to episode 1112 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Seeing Life as an Artist. Adapted from Practical Ethics by William De Witt Hyde.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Art is creative. The artist is a co-worker with the Divine. To our hands is committed the portion of the world which the universe has left unfinished — the immediate environment of humankind. We cannot live in the fields and woods like the insects and animals do. Art has for its purpose to make the rooms and houses and halls and streets and cities in which civilized people pass their days as beautiful and fair, as elevating and inspiring, as the fields and forests in which nature blooms.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: During the early 1900s, Benjamin Mills founded an organization called “Fellowship,” which had no creed save "Trust and Service." What is your idea of trust and service? How would you answer the question contained in the motto?

My own idea of trust is as unbounded as the word indicates: whatever happens, to believe it is part of the divine plan. However unpleasant, however painful, however disagreeable may be the happening or circumstance, to determine upon finding its good meaning, and to turn it to the soul's account, and make it a means of character building.

Listen to episode 1111 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Succeed in Your Business Startup. Edited and adapted from The Mental Highway by Thomas Parker Boyd.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: It does not matter whether you are selling the products of your own hands and imagination, or those of others, or whether you are selling knowledge and expertise, your business must eventually be an expression of you — for you are really selling yourself when you are selling your goods or service. You must believe in your business as you believe in yourself.

Your success in business depends upon your knowledge of the people who are helping you to sell, as well as the people who come to buy. If you have to guess how each person will act under a given condition, success may be an uncertain thing. If you know to what category a person belongs, and know that in a majority of cases that category of people will be interested in a certain class of values, and will be appealed to by a given method of presentation, and will decide and act in a certain way, then you are effectively using psychology in your business.
