Daily Wisdom Motivational Podcast

Mastering one’s mind is actually one of the most difficult endeavors that one can be involved with and this is why so many people are afraid of that, and as it says, “according to the difficulty, so is the reward.” What you have to do, however, is to always be concerned about today not tomorrow. Why not make each day of your life into a masterpiece? You could start right now, today. You can be proud of yourself today and be your best.

When it comes to your spiritual life, you should always try to grow, always try to learn, always try to broaden your scope of understanding. This teaches us that in order to take the first step towards internalizing any new insight you will learn in life, the first step in spiritual growth is to be passive. Let me explain...

Do you find yourself at times frustrated or angry when people that you know who are close to you behave in the same dysfunctional way over and over again? Now, when you work with such people or you live with these people, what can you do about it?

That’s the truth and not just survive, but quite well, and so the more you look at your life, you will realize that you should not worry about anything. As a matter of fact, you should say, “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,” and remind yourself that you do have what it takes to overcome all of these anticipated problems. Why waste the energy?

Life is all about is being patient and understanding that honey and vinegar are always there for you to use. With honey, you attract so many more good things than you will with vinegar. Keep the hatred, the stubbornness and frustration when it’s truly necessary. I would not use it otherwise, and you’ll get what you want.

I recently received an email from one of the listeners and asked, “Why are you doing these podcasts, Dr. Dahan? What is the benefit of that?” Well, let me just say, first of all, there are thousands of people who listen to them and obviously, there has to be some benefit to that.

If you look at people, at the outside, we might not see their worth. We might not see the type of person or individual that they are. We might not understand their character and one might only see their flaws, not noticing also that they are perhaps like a diamond in the rough.

Some years ago when when I was in practice, I had a patient who visited me. I couldn’t understand why they had to suffer through so much pain. As a doctor, I had to somehow come up with an answer but I really didn’t know what to say. The patient said to me, “I don’t understand why the world is this way. It’s impossible for me to even fathom why these things happen.”

People in the world, at least some of them, believe that they are on their own, they can do pretty much what they want at any time anywhere and they don’t have to care or be part of anybody else’s world except their own.

Some people worry about everything in the world. They worry about the market crashing, the ability to make money, the possibility of never getting married, perhaps even not traveling or visiting places they wish to visit, or even being alive. They worry about so many things and they don’t realize that life is about sharing, giving, and appreciating. But life is not about a concept that you may think is destroying or putting you at a disadvantage. That’s not what life is all about. Life is only a test and this test has been given to us by the Creator of the world. The reason for it is in order to bring our hidden soul powers to the fore. In fact, life in general is such a test.
