Listen to episode 1072 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Psychology of Love & Marriage. Adapted from The Mental Highway by Thomas Parker Boyd.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The most vital application of psychology is in the study of the supreme passion of life called Love, because it takes hold essentially of the feeling element of consciousness. Nothing so tones up the body, illuminates the mind and glorifies every object about you, as the influence of love.

Listen to episode 1072 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Success Through the Way of love. Edited and adapted from Love’s Way by Orison Swett Marden.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If those of us who are living in conflicts of any kind would only try love's way, even for a short time, we never could be induced to go back to the old way of living. We could never again be satisfied with the old scolding, jealous, anxious, faultfinding, slave-driving, worrying ways.

Why not try the experiment? You who have been tortured and torn to pieces for years with hot tempers, with worry, with fear, with hatred and ill will; you who have already wasted many years of your life, why not turn your back on all this and try love's way?

Podcast Manuscript: I believe in the cheery whistle of the bobwhite. I believe in smiles, even though the heart is heavy; in lending a hand; in stopping in the shade of a tree on the road of life; to chat a while with some neighbors; in saying kind things before it is too late; in keeping my eyes on the stars though I walk in the mud.

I believe that nothing can hurt me save only as I allow it; that each failure brings me nearer the ultimate success; that should I ever reach the topmost rung of the ladder, I should make way for others, stooping to help them up beside me.
