Be Encouraged! | Episode #496 · Legacy Living with Dr. Gloria Burgess

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Life Count. I'm your host, Doctor Gloria Gloria Burgess, international
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: leadership expert and trusted advisor. Welcome to Legacy Living, Make
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Your Life Count. I'm so delighted that you joined me today.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I have a very special show for you. I'm going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to share with you some of my favorite words of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wisdom from some of my favorite people in the world. Today,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I am going to focus specifically on inspirational words. I'm
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: also going to ask you to share the wealth. After
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you listen to this show, I want you to tell
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a friend, and I want you to come back to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this podcast over and over and over again when you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: need some words of encouragement or words to edify you,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: words to lift your spirit. In fact, if you love
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: inspiring words like I do, you can go to my
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: website and subscribe to my Weekly Inspirations. That way you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: can get a breath of fresh air in your inbox
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to start your week. I'll tell you more about that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: later in the podcast. Okay, let's get started. The most
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: inspiring words come from wonderfully different sources. Ultimately, the words
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: come from the master Creator, God, the Great overall.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Designer.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Art is human perception.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Of natural beauty.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It is also, in its very performance, the unique and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: miraculous beauty of being Human. Art washes from the soul
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the dust of everyday life. There is nothing more truly artistic.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And to love people.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself, the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: means of inspiration and survival. This is precisely the time
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: when artists go to work, not when everything is fine,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but in times of dread. Imagination is the power that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: never shared. Art is the only thing you cannot punch
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a button for. You must do it the old fashioned way.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Stay up and really burn the midnight oil. There are
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: no compromises. Every day, our streets and school buses become
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: art galleries in the form of perfectly spiked hair, zigzagging cornrows,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and dizzying shoelace artistry. No one is born hating another
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: person because of the color of his skin.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Or his background, or his religion.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: People must learn to hate, and if they can learn
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to hate, they can be taught to love. For love
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We do not need magic to change the world. We
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: carry all the power we need inside ourselves. Already we
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: have the power to imagine something better. There is in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: every person an inward sea, and in that sea there
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is an island, And on that island there is an altar,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and standing guard before that altar is the Angel with
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the flaming Sword. Nothing can get by that angel to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be placed upon the altar unless it has the mark
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of your inner authority. Nothing passes the Angel with the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: flaming sword to be placed upon your altar unless it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: be a part of the fluid area of your consent.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: This is your crucial link with.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: The eternal.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and joy, it will, in the end not produce food either.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Words lead to deeds.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: They prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: too tenderness. And the day came when the risk it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: than the risk it took to blossom. It's the little
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: things citizens do that's what will make the difference. My
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: little thing is planting trees. One generation plants trees, another
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: enjoys the shade. There are two ways to live your life.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is as though everything.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Is a miracle. You must give birth to your images.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They are the future.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Waiting to be born.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you long before it happens. The heart that breaks open
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: can contain the whole universe. Your heart is that large.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Trust it keep breathing. Do not think that love, in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: need is to love without getting tired. The shadows and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: rain of today will nourish the blossoms of tomorrow. Let
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: us put our minds together and see what life we
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can make for our children. There are only two lasting
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the other.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Wings.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: If you save one person, you save the whole world.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You get the best efforts from others not by lighting
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: You are a lake with a channel to the sea.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Be a shame to seek water from a pool. We
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: are the mirror as well as the face in it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: are pain, and what cures pain we are the sweet
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: cold water and the jar that pours.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Out.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I'll meet you there. Until one is committed, there is
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always in effectiveness.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: splendid plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I have learned a deep respect for one of Gert's couplets.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Whatever you can do or dream, you can beget it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Where there
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is no vision, the people perish. I try to make
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: my mind large as the universe is large, so that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: there is room for paradoxes. Your language is the distance
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: between you and what you need. You cannot think any
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: deeper than your vocabulary will allow you to. You can't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: be what you can't see. Sometimes our light goes out,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: but it is blown again into flame by an encounter
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light. Never
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: let the cacophony of your mind drown out the symphony
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of your heart.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Speak from your heart. Don't bottle up your music or
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: your voice.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Be brave. Poetry is a balancing between intellect and intuition,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and if one must choose between the two, one should
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: always fall on the side of intuition. Art is human
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: perception of natural beauty. It is also, in its very performance,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the unique and miraculous beauty of being human. The experience
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of art, it's making, and its enjoyment, is what makes
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: us both human and humane. According to the ancient scriptures
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: oral and written of people worldwide, one of the main
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: purposes of music in life is to lead to uplift
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and enlightenment, establish and maintain moral consciousness and responsibility, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to assist in the continued spiritual evolution of humanity. There
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: translated through you into action, and because there is only
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: one of you in all time. The expression is.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Unique, and if you block it, it will never exist
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: through any other medium, and it will be lost.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: It is not your business to determine how good it is,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: not how valuable it is, not how it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Compares with other expressions.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to keep the channel open. I have never thought of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: writing for the reputation and honor. What I have in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my heart must come out. That is the reason why
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I compose in this endeavor to wed the vision of
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the old world with that of the new. It is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the writer, not the statesman, who is our strongest arm,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: people have a tangible effect on the world. Don't ask
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: what the world needs, Ask what makes you come alive,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and go do it, because what the world needs is
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: more people who have come a lot life inspirations. I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just love these inspiring words, words that have brought so
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: much gratitude, hope and joy into my life. I hope
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: these words have inspired you as well. That word inspire
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: comes from the Latin inspirare. Don't you just love the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: sound of that inspiare, which means to breathe into or
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to breathe upon. So let these words just breathe into you.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Let these words inspire you to new life, new hope,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: new joy as they breathe into you and minister to you. Now,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I want you to be sure don't keep it all
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to yourself. Share the wealth, share your blessings at somebody
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: else's table. That's how you do it. That's how you
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: make your life count. If you want to be the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: change you seek, remember this. How you live is how
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you lead. You have the power to make our world
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a better place.
