Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I give of myself joyously.

One of the great lessons of life is to learn to give, to share. As a child, we focused on "gimme, gimme"... whether that was food, toys, attention, love, etc. However as we grow up, we learn the importance of sharing. And that includes our love, our time, our energy, our "things", our talents, etc. 

Recognizing the connection between all of us, we understand that giving love and sharing energy is the greatest gift, not only for others, but for ourselves as well. It is impossible to give without receiving since energy will affect all points it touches.

In her book, The Gifts Of Caregiving, Connie Goldman states: "Caregiving can be a gift in disguise -- an experience that moves you toward a more meaningful connection with yourself and with others and a chance to nurture your spirit and transform your life."

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