Summary: <p>Listen to episode 151 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Eight Pillars of Prosperity (Energy). Edited & adapted from a book of the same title by James Allen.</p><br> <p><strong>Inspirational Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>Energy is the informing power in all doing in every department of life — whether it be along material or spiritual lines. The call to action, which comes from the lips or pen of every great teacher in every school of thought, is a call to us to rouse our sleeping energy, and to do vigorously the task at hand. </em></p><br> <p><em>Even the teachers of contemplation and meditation never cease to rouse their disciples to exertion in meditative thought. The advice of one of the Great Teachers to his disciples, “Keep wide awake”, tersely expresses the necessity for tireless energy if one’s purpose is to be accomplished, and is equally good advice to the salesperson as to the saint. </em></p><br> <p><em>“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”, and liberty is the reaching of one’s fixed end. To get more energy we must use to the full that which we already possess. Only to the person that puts their hand vigorously to some task does power and freedom come. </em></p><br> <p><em>“Still waters run deep,” and the great universal forces are inaudible. Where calmness is, there is the greatest power. Calmness is the sure indication of a strong, well-trained, patiently disciplined mind. The calm person knows their business, be sure of it. Their words are few, but they tell. Their schemes are well planned, and they work true, like a well-balanced machine. They see a long way ahead, and make straight for their object.</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related Inspirational Podcasts:</strong></p><br> <p><a title="How to Be Prosperous & Successful" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/the-secret-of-success-in-business-life/">The Secret of Success in Business & Life</a></p><br> <p><a title="How to Become Great" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/the-science-of-being-great/">The Science of Being Great</a></p>
