Summary

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks. Edited and adapted from edited and adapted from Discovery of a Lost Trail by Charles B. Newcomb.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: We exhaust our strength in our impatience at our work and the conditions that surround us. There is nothing that comes to us which we could not do easily if we adjusted our energies, but we waste our forces in our worries. It is our leverage that is at fault. When that is changed, we will find the heaviest weights are easily raised.

The mechanism of our existence is simpler than we think. None of its cog-wheels are misplaced. If we will only permit them to work into each other where they belong, we will discover that there is no superfluous friction, and the adjustment of experience to need is truly marvelous.
