InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

November 17-18-19, 2023

The focus for today is: 

I trust and love, no matter what I see in front of me.

Video version

A hardwood tree in winter appears dead. There is no sign of life... no leaves, no buds, nothing that is vibrant to the eye. Yet inside the tree the process of life continues as it rests and prepares for the next round of Spring, Summer, and Autumn.

It is the same with we humans. You may look at someone and think they are hopeless, they will never change, never grow, yet you don't know what is going on inside of them. All sorts of transformations and changes are continually taking place, sometimes unbeknownst even to the person themselves.

We must not give up on others, or on ourselves. Change is continuous, and we are all, at some point, like trees in winter or as the seed of a greater potential. Transformation is on the way, and actually, already happening, whether we see it or not. Be patient. Trust and love, no matter what you see -- or don't see -- in front of you, or inside of you.
