InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today's inspiration is:
I am part of humanity and I have a job to do.
We need to stretch the boundaries of what well-being and success mean for us... and stretch our goals to include our neighbors worldwide. We are all connected, and the healing and well-being of one is affected by, and dependent on, the healing and well-being of all.
It is time to move from the "taking care of myself and my loved ones" to taking care of the whole planet and the health and well-being of people who we may never have met of but are still connected to. We can be the butterfly whose wings start a tsunami of change and awakening and healing in this troubled world we live in.
Let's strive to always ask ourselves in every situation we encounter, what would Jesus do, or what would Buddha do, or what would the most loving and enlightened part of me do? Let's stretch who we are from the "I'm just one person, what can I do" attitude, to I'm part of humanity and I have a job to do.

RECOMMENDED BOOK:
BOOK: Radical Regeneration
Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World
by Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker
What is being made crystal clear is that humanity stands at a monumentally fragile threshold with two stark choices placed before it in a situation of complete uncertainty. Those choices are: 1) To continue to worship a vision of power, totally distanced from sacred reality 2) Or to choose the path of submitting bravely to the alchemy of being transfigured by a global dark night event that shatters all illusions but reveals the greatest imaginable possibility being born out of the greatest imaginable disaster.
If humanity chooses the second path, which is what is being celebrated in this book, then it will have trained itself in the new radical unity necessary to weather even worse crises.
