Summary
Listen to episode 994 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Motivation to Keep Learning & Growing. Edited and adapted from a lecture by Ralph Albert Parlette.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Let me not hear you complain about growing old. We are not growing old; we are growing eternally young. All our life up to today has been merely preparation for today. This is the greatest, wisest, happiest day in all our lives.
As we overcome, we ascend the Mountain of Life. We rise above the legacy of our limitations. We rise above troubles and storms into the sunshine. We rise to life's mountain summit and see the night below us.
