About this episode

This episode discusses overcoming life's challenges despite personal handicaps, drawing inspiration from William Horatio Clarke's work.

Listen to episode 1113 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Overcoming Despite Our Handicaps. Adapted from the book “A Cheerful Philosophy for Thoughtful Invalids” by William Horatio Clarke. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt : Remember that our journey through life is much like that of a journey across the Atlantic. While we are on the ship, we place our lives in the care of the captain, in the expectation of arriving safely on the other side. We have absolute confidence that our captain understand the nature of the winds, the various currents, and the tides, the shoals and rocks, and how to pilot the vessel through the most violent storms. We have faith that he knows the strength of the ship, the reliability of the machinery, and that the rudder will obey the wheel. We have no doubt of his caution in running through banks of fog, or in steering clear of icebergs, nor of his skill in avoiding collisions. When darkness settles down over the face of the deep mysterious waters, we retire ourselves to our cabins, and sleep without fear. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
