Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I have the courage to live the life I was meant to live.

It's not always easy to live the life we wish to live. We have expectations to content with... not just from the people we love and even of the people around us, but also the sometimes misguided expectations of our own self.

At times, in order to be true to ourselves, it feels like we must go against the people around us... our parents, our mate, our children, our boss, co-workers, etc. But trying to make others happy is an impossible task.

The only person we can "make happy" is our own self. Only by having the courage to be true to ourselves, and living according to our own inner compass, can we attain true inner peace and happiness.

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