Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I seek clarity and integrity in my decisions.


We're constantly making decisions. Personal ones, like what will I wear today, what will I eat for lunch, what kind of computer will I buy, etc. We are also presented with decisions that affect the people around us, whether that is family, friends, and co-workers. And then we have the "earth-shattering" or at least "earth-affecting" decisions that will affect the people in your country and the world.

These last decisions can be environmentally-based (do I purchase an electric car, do I install solar panels on my house). While these are also personal decisions, they have wider repercussions than just for ourselves and our immediate family. These days, we also have the decisions about wearing a mask, being vaccinated, socializing or not, going to the grocery store or ordering online, etc. These decisions also have the potential of affecting a huge range of people.

And then there are the decisions about who we elect in governmental positions to represent us, whether locally, or nationally. These decisions also affect a lot more than our personal selves. Thus it becomes more important, and even essential, to make sure we base these decisions on the guidance of our heart, and not the guidance of our ego. Ego loves discord, power-tripping, adrenaline, etc. Decisions made from that perspective are rarely for the Highest Good. Thus, when we take the time to get heart-centered, we can be assured that our decisions will be based in clarity and integrity.
