InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

May 6-7, 2023

The focus for the weekend is:

I embody my best self by taking constructive action.

Whether on a global or personal level, we need to give up the hope that leads us to nowhere-land and embrace Jane Goodall's vision of hope: "...each time I become depressed [about all of the atrocities and conflicts currently and in the past], I think of all the amazing stories of the courage, steadfastness, and determination of those who are fighting the "forces of evil."

We must never give up and let our minds drag us down, but rather contribute to uplifting ourselves and our world.

It's time to choose courage to embody our best selves by taking constructive action.
