Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I honor who I am, without judgment or fear.

In order to be true to ourselves and to our life's path, we must be ourselves in all our quirkiness, our strangeness, our individuality. This is the greatest gift we can give, not only to ourselves, but to the world around us.

I often refer to all of us as puzzle pieces. When one piece is missing, or hiding in the shadows, the puzzle cannot be whole. Each part, or each piece, no matter where it is located in the puzzle, no matter the size, color, or shape, is as important as any other piece.

Thus, to attain true happiness and fulfilment, we must honor who we are, without judgment or fear. We must be willing to shine our light out into the shadows and the darkness, whether internal or external. Be the gift you are!

Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

Don't Be So Hard On Yourself: The Greatest Gift
Written by Marie T. Russell

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf, wishing you a day of being yourself, without judgment or fear (today and every day)

Join me again tomorrow for the Daily Inspiration and focus of the day.

Today, and every day, we honor who we are, without judgment or fear.



EDITOR'S NOTE: 
ABOUT THE NEW CONCEPT FOR THE DAILY INSPIRATION

This is the final "episode" of this week's "theme of the week" article. The article will be complete and featured in its entirety in Monday's InnerSelf Magazine (emailed to subscribers Sunday evening), along with an audio and video of the complete article.

As a Daily Inspiration subscriber, you not only received the "new episodes" as your daily inspiration each day, but you also got an advance read on the article as it developed.

This is a bit of an experiment, so we may adjust the concept as we go along.  And of course, we welcome your comments and suggestions by using the Contact Us form on the "This and That" drop down menu above.

Wishing you a wonder-full day!
