Summary
Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from The Shining Gateway by James Allen, published in 1915.
Podcast Excerpt: Every dog can bark and fight, and every foolish person can rail and abuse with hard words, and give way to fits of bad temper. These things are easy and natural to us, and require no effort and no strength. But the wise person puts away all such follies, and trains themselves in self-control — trains themselves to act unerringly from fixed principles, and not from the fleeting impulses of an unstable nature.

| 0:18.0 | the business behind the business, the one which makes selling and buying simple. |

| 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. |

| 1:49.5 | A clear and firm head must proceed and accompany a clean and gentle heart. |
| 2:00.3 | Without the first, the second is impossible, |
| 2:04.5 | for the qualities of purity and gentleness can only be reached through a clear perception of right and |
| 2:11.8 | wrong, as well as the exercise of an irresistible will. The strength of a powerful animal, or of that animal |
