Summary
Listen to episode 797 of the Inspirational Living podcast: If You Want to Be Happy, Do These Things. Edited and adapted from The True Source of a Happy Life by Hugh Wayt.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: In the course of our lives, there are many times when thoughtless words are spoken by us which wound the hearts of others. And there are also many little occasions when a word of cheer is needed from us and we are silent. There are lives of wearisome monotony which one word of kindness can relieve. There is suffering which words of sympathy can make more endurable. And often, even in the midst of wealth and luxury, there are those who listen and long in vain for some expression of kindness.
