Legacy Living | Rewiring Your Brain - An Interview With Dr. Mark Brady - Part 1 | Episode #341 | Encore Edition #117 · Legacy Living with Dr. Gloria Burgess

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