Summary

Listen to episode 875 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: How to Be the Best and Receive the Best. Edited and adapted from The Ideal Made Real by Christian D. Larson.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The first essential is to create a cheerful world in the imagination. Picture in your mind the brightest states of existence that you can think of, and impress joy upon your mind at all times. Feel joy, think joy, and make every action of mind and body thrill with joy — before long you will have created the subconscious foundation of joy, and when this is done cheerfulness and brightness will become permanent elements within yourself.
