Today's Inspiration
by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
December 17, 2022
The focus for today's inspiration is:
I choose what I accept and expect in my life.
The beliefs that we have made our own are many. The programs we've accepted are numerous. Yet, we are in charge of our body and mind. We need to be clear about what we choose to have and what we accept and expect in our life.
We really need to be the guardians of our thoughts and subconscious beliefs. We can take a stand and say, "I'm the boss of my mind and my body. I decide what goes on here!" And then, be constantly on the alert for any undermining responses that may be coming from the subconscious or conscious mind.
We all have a creative aspect of ourselves which resides within and expresses itself as a quiet voice. Maybe if we weren't so busy complaining and blaming, we would hear what that voice has to say. It has millions of fun, creative solutions to whatever ails us. Listen in and then you can choose your next step!

RECOMMENDED BOOK: A Lamp in the Darkness
A Lamp in the Darkness: Illuminating the Path Through Difficult Times
by Jack Kornfield.
The practices in this book are not positive thinking, quick fixes, or simplistic self-help strategies. They are powerful tools for doing "the work of the soul" to access our inner knowing and to embrace the fullness of our life experience. With regular practice, these teachings and meditations enable you to transform your difficulties into a guiding light for the journey ahead.
Just as it is certain that each life will include suffering, explains Kornfield, it is also true that in every moment there is the possibility of transcending your difficulties to discover the heart's eternal freedom. With A Lamp in the Darkness, he offers you a beacon for yourself and others until joy returns again. Foreword by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
