Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I focus on my primary goal or purpose.
While we all have much to accomplish, we get more done when we focus on one thing at a time and give 100% of our energy and attention to the task at hand. If we are doing one thing yet out attention is on another, we will not accomplish what we set out to do...
The explanation of the "Whirlwind & Storm -- Foxus" card in the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards reads as follows:
"You may be trying to accomplish too many things, spinning in many directions at once without clear intent. Stop; focus on the primary goal or purpose. Examine the directions in which you are unnecessarily expending energy. Choose a single path and walk in the direction it leads you."
Through the many demands and distractions of our life, we need to learn to focus, and, once we do so, step by step, we will discover our direction and achieve our goals.

Today's Daily Inspiration was inspired from the card "Whirlwind & Storm -- Focus" from the The Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards
The Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards: Spiritual Teachings of the Sioux
by Chief Archie Fire Lame Deer and Helene Sarkis.
This book and beautifully illustrated deck draw on the ancient Lakota ritual of healing and purification known as the sacred Inipi, or sweat lodge ceremony, which has existed in the Lakota culture for thousands of years.
The cards and accompanying book comprise a self-contained and highly original system that will help you harness creative energies to deal with issues that are of concern in your life. Used for self-discovery rather than divination, the cards gently guide you toward inner growth and self-knowledge in the time-honored tradition of the Lakota people.
Publisher: Destiny Books, an imprint of Inner Traditions Intl.
