It ought to be, bright, interesting, and happy. If we do our best; if we do not magnify trifling troubles; if we look resolutely at things as they really are; if we avail ourselves of the manifold blessings which surround us; we cannot but feel that life is indeed a glorious inheritance.</em></p><p><em>Few of us, however, realize the wonderful privilege of living, or the blessings we inherit; the glories and beauties of the Universe; the extent to which we can make ourselves what we wish to be; or the power we possess of securing peace, of triumphing over pain and sorrow.</em></p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donations'>https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
