Overcoming Your Anxiety & Regrets

Overcoming Your Anxiety & Regrets

Author: The Living Hour March 31, 2026 Duration: 15:49

Listen to episode 1108 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Your Anxiety & Regrets. Edited and adapted from Nuggets of New Thought by William Walker Atkinson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Every bit of pain that has happened to you has brought its experience to you — you are better, wiser and broader for it. Look at it in that way, and you will cease to mourn and wail and wring your hands over the fact that in the past you (quote) "have done those things which you ought not to have done, and have left undone those things which you ought to have done." Nonsense! You have gained the experience and know better now. 

If you were placed back in the same old position, and lacked the experience that you have gained by just such things, you would do the same old thing over again, and in the same old way. You couldn't help it, because you would be the same old person. What you would like to do would be to be placed back in the same position, and face the same old temptation or problem, taking with you the experience you have gained by your former mistake.

For nearly a decade, the voices of some of history's most profound thinkers have found a new home in the modern day. Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness, from The Living Hour, draws directly from the original texts of classic writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Helen Keller, and Booker T. Washington. Instead of modern interpretations, each episode is carefully adapted from their actual essays and books, allowing their timeless wisdom on perseverance, inner peace, and purpose to speak for itself. This approach creates a unique space where personal growth is explored through a historical lens, connecting lessons from the past to the challenges of today. With over twenty-five million downloads, the podcast has become a trusted resource for anyone looking to cultivate resilience, improve their mental and physical well-being, and explore the spiritual dimensions of a meaningful life. You'll hear curated insights that address the whole self-mind, body, and spirit-offering practical philosophy for navigating work, relationships, and personal ambition. It’s a deeply rooted alternative to fleeting motivational quotes, providing substantial content that encourages reflection and actionable change. Tune in for a quiet moment of guidance that feels both ancient and immediately relevant.
