The Secret to Great Accomplishments

The Secret to Great Accomplishments

Author: The Living Hour January 15, 2026 Duration: 16:21

Listen to episode 1087 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret to Great Accomplishments. Adapted from Beginning Right (How to Succeed) by Nathanial C. Fowler.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: LIFE has three seasons: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What you did yesterday overlaps into today, and what you do today is carried over into tomorrow. Which is the most important of the three? No single one of them, because any one by itself is incomplete.

If you did your duty yesterday, the work of today becomes easier to accomplish. If you attend to the work of today, tomorrow will be open to you and its duties will not be so difficult to perform. While each day has its place — yesterday, today, and tomorrow — inattention to any one of those days will materially affect the life and action of the remaining two.

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.
