Summary
Listen to episode 902 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Mastering the Game of Life. Edited and adapted from C’mon Up by Franklin Fillmore Farrington.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Some people have called life a voyage, where we steer for a certain port. Some say it is a climb from the valleys of labor to some great mountain peak of rest. Others call it a journey down a sunlit road that now and then has a shadow. I do not disagree with any of this, but I call life a game. It is a wonderful game. And we all want to win, and we all may win.
