Summary
Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode was edited and adapted from Thoughts are Things by Prentice Mulford, published in 1908..
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You ask, "What is the aim of life?" In a sense, you cannot aim your own life. There is a destiny that aims it -- a law which governs and carries it. To what? To an ever-increasing and boundless capacity for happiness as your power increases, and increase it must. You cannot stop growing, despite all appearances to the contrary.
The pain you have suffered has been through that same growth of the spirit pressing you harder and harder against what caused you misery, so that at last you should take that pain as a proof that you were on some wrong path, which you must leave behind as soon as possible.
