Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: One of the greatest accomplishments of the finest character is the ability to order the mind and to exclude from it all the enemy thoughts — thoughts that bring friction and discord into the life, thoughts that depress, that stunt, that darken. No mind can do good work when clouded with unhappy or vicious thoughts. The mental sky must be clear or there can be no enthusiasm; no brightness, clearness, or efficiency in our mental work.
