InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
March 13, 2023
The focus for today's inspiration is:
I choose to be genuinely concerned about others.
We are trained to think that satisfying our desires is the way to happiness. Actually, to go beyond desire is the way to happiness.
If we think less about how we can make ourselves happy, and more about how we can make others happy, somehow we end up being happy ourselves.
People who are genuinely concerned with others have a much happier and more peaceful state of mind than those who are continually trying to manufacture their own joys and satisfactions.
