InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

March 27, 2023

The focus for today's inspiration is:

I create more meaning, greater connection, health, and cooperation.

We have the potential to create a world based primarily on fear and mistrust, and emphasize our differences.

Or, we can cultivate love and understanding: We can acknowledge our vulnerability, and we can use our imaginations to calm, retrain, and transform our fears. And we can acknowledge the reality of our interconnectedness by looking deeply at our profound similarities.

We can see that we are all part of the human family, living on and sharing one planet. We can aspire to create another reality — the reality of trust and understanding, using our innate abilities for empathy and compassion. We can move toward creating a life of more meaning and satisfaction, of greater connection, health, and cooperation.
