Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The law of happiness is fulfilled in one word — LOVE. It is the rich soil from which grows joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, meekness, and moderation. Out of it also grow self-control, largeness of heart and life, contentment, cheerfulness, kindness, and hopefulness. These elements enter largely into the happiness of every individual. They are the fruitful branches that grow on the vine of love.
