Daily Inspiration: December 5, 2021

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:  I am able, and willing, to change. If we want things to get better, we have to be willing for them to change... which means we have to be willing to change ourselves. In other words, we must step beyond the rigidity of our preconceived notions, our old beliefs, and any barriers we have erected between "us" and "them" -- whether the "them" is other people, or parts of ourselves that we don't like or haven't yet accepted. There is no "them"! It is all "we"! We are all part of the same puzzle, the same play, the same world. Some pieces of the puzzle are a different shape, a different hue, and are situated in a different location. But everything is of equal importance in the completion of the puzzle of life on earth. In order to make a new dream come about, we have to be willing to let go of any limitations we have placed on ourselves and on others, and be willing to expect the best from everyone, including ourselves. Change, by its very nature, means letting go of the past, of the way things were, and perhaps of the way we expect them to be. We must be willing to expect our dreams to come true, or as the affirmation goes "this, or something better". Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article: From Rigidity to Change by Marie T. Russell Read the original article here. This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf, wishing you a day of being willing to change (today and every day) Join me again tomorrow for the Daily Inspiration and focus of the day. Today, we are able, and willing, to change.
