Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I continuously develop my heart's feelings toward joyous, ever-conscious experience.

The following is quoted from the book Out of the Labyrinth by J. Donald Walters:

Realism demands openness to the universe -- that is to say, to what is -- in forgetfulness of the little self and its petty demands.

The true signs of realism are not contempt, but respect; not bitterness, but appreciation; not ruthless ambition, but kindness and compassion.

This, then, is the meaning of life: not some sterile new doctrine, but continuous development of the heart's feelings toward joyous, ever-conscious experience: perpetual self-transcendence, unending self expansion -- until, in the words of Paramhansa Yogananda, "you achieve endlessness."

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