Summary
Listen to episode 793 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Break Bad Habits & Live a Larger Life. Edited and adapted from the book Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin.
Inspirational Podcasts: In order to find a way of escape from destructive habits and weaknesses of character, we must go deeper than actual deeds, for actions are effects of hidden causes. The cause of all action is thought. A thought is an action in the process of being born. It is true that we possess primitive desires and impulses, but these can be transmuted into noble actions and high achievement simply by directing our thoughts and attention to higher and better things.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is David. Have you thought about starting a retail business? When you think about |
| 0:06.0 | businesses like Magic Spoon and Mattel, who sell through the roof, you probably attribute |
| 0:12.2 | their success to great products and a strong brand. But an often overlooked secret is actually |
| 0:18.0 | the business behind the business, the one which makes selling and buying simple. |
| 0:23.4 | For millions of retail businesses, that business is Shopify. |
| 0:29.6 | Nobody does selling better than Shopify, because no checkout system is better at converting |
| 0:35.8 | shoppers into buyers. With Shopify, you can sell wherever |
| 0:40.3 | your customers are a scrolling or strolling, on the web, in your store, in their feed, and everywhere |
| 0:48.7 | in between. Upgrade your business and get the same checkout that Magic Spoon and Mattel use. |

| 1:53.4 | Character building is the greatest object in life. |
| 1:58.6 | It has been said that character is the only thing we can take with us when we depart |
| 2:03.8 | this life. That is perfectly true. Therefore, the object of all religion, mental training, and |
| 2:12.5 | spiritual development should be the building of character. A religion that does not build up character is worthless. |
| 2:23.3 | Those who think that they can slide through life, who make no effort to improve their character, |
| 2:30.3 | and through believing in a certain creed can miraculously become perfect, simply |
