Summary
Listen to episode 864 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Live a Life Worthy of Immortality. Edited and adapted from Making a Life by Cortland Myers.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: A noble purpose is life's guarding, guiding angel. It alone can take us safely through a lion's den. In one hand it holds safety, and in the other success. A high ideal is a lever under your life, and means the elevation of your character. The person who is satisfied with their first effort, or their first step, or their first attainment, never reaches greatness.
