Summary
Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast.This episode is edited and adapted from Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin, published in 1920.
Podcast Excerpt: Life is a paradox. The true object of life is not the attainment of happiness, but if we attain the true object of life, we actually do find happiness. Those who are ignorant of life's true purpose and who seek happiness high and low, year after year, fail to find it. Like a will-o'-the-wisp, it forever eludes them. On the other hand, those who recognize the true object of life and follow it, attain happiness without seeking for it.

| 1:55.0 | The true object of life is that we may attain wisdom through experience. This cannot be accomplished by giving in |
| 2:04.6 | to the difficulties of life, but only by overcoming them. The promises of God are not made to those who |
| 2:13.4 | fail in life's battle, but to those who overcome. |
