Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  The things I do, or create, positively help others.

Everything in life is a circle, or cycle. We see that in nature very clearly. What comes down (rain) goes back up (evaporation); what decays (leaves, vegetation, etc.) cycles later into life (fruits, food, and flowers). 

And so it goes with us as well. Whatever action we take cycles back to us as a result or consequence. Thus the more we make sure that the energy we expend is helpful and loving, the more the energy returning to us will be of the same caliber.

This is not a "give to get" scenario, but rather we choose to live from the heart because the energy we give out contributes to creating a better world for us, as well as for others. As Elton John sings, "You should never take more than you give, in the circle of life". 

Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
