Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I stride confidently toward my dream of a better life and a better world.

When we are pulled this way and that way by the world, by the promises of advertising, by the distractions of life, it is difficult to connect with our true self. When we strive for the unattainable goals of societal norms and social media, we can doubt our very self.

However, once we fully accept who we are, the yin and the yang, the light and the dark, the masculine and the feminine, we can then step forth with confidence to express the best of who we are. We then have the confidence to be true to our inner wisdom and follow our heart. To do so requires bravery and the courage to go against the norm, to go against the prescribed behaviors of a world based on competition and separation.

Yet, once we attune to all of who we are, we then can live confidently from our heart, rather than letting the fear of our ego run the show. And the more we listen to our higher self, the more we learn to trust in ourselves and in our truth, and the more we can stride confidently forward toward our dream of a better life and a better world.
