Do not pander to these latter ones. Treat them as if they were sources of strength, too. That is what Shakespeare means when he says, "Assume a virtue if you have it not.”Every now and then you will ask yourself how your weak faculties are improving (and if you have done your best to develop your mind and character); and you will have the satisfaction of noting an extraordinary development of strength which you never dreamed of. ---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting:

Sign up for a FREE trial at https://shopify.com/inspirationalInspirational Podcast Excerpt: RICHES that are obtained under proper conditions represent not merely an accumulation of money. They develop and broaden our mental and moral forces. The love of money that is the root of all evil is the covetousness of avarice: the love of money for its own sake. When acquiring money from this motive there is no growth of larger and better power, no uplift, no rising to a wider vision. Everything that is of value as a force is capable of benefit or harm. The force of the mind can be directed either for evil or for good. Reverie and rest can easily degenerate into laziness and dreamy longings. Or they

But the terms “long" and "short" have little meaning when applied to the life of the soul. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. The individual who most lives, thinks most, feels the noblest, and acts the best. Time misspent is not lived, but lost.---------Get the best of our podcast in book form by visiting: https://inspirationallifelessons.comGet our e
