Summary

Listen to episode 874 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How to Attract the Good Things of Life. Edited and adapted from The Ideal Made Real by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: When things are not to your liking, like them as they are. In other words, while you are working for greater things, make friends with the lesser things, and they will help you to reach your goal.

The person who is dissatisfied with things as they are, and discontented because things are not to their liking, is standing in their own way. We cannot get away from present conditions so long as we antagonize those conditions — because we are held in bondage to that which we resist.
