Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I give myself permission to be playful and childlike.
The following is taken from one of my articles entitled, Inner Child Speaks. Here's what the inner child has to say:
"I don't believe that we are here to be miserable. I think some miserable people made that up so that everyone would be miserable like them.
"Adults make it so complicated! Give yourself a KISS. Yes! K.I.S.S. Keep it simple silly! Look inside yourself and invite your inner child to come out and play. Tell it that it's ok. That you won't scream at it anymore, won't tell it to go away, or tell it that it's not behaving appropriately.
"You told me that it is not appropriate to be playful and childlike, and that I had to act your age. Well I've got news for you. I'm an inner child and I am eternally young... so my age is whatever I choose. And it's okay for me to sing and dance and love everyone I meet, because I know that God loves me, and that I am loved by everyone because God is in everyone."
Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
