InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
June 4, 2024
The focus for today is:
My moods are not who I am. They are experiences I am having.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
One of the problems we encounter when we start thinking in terms of "dark" and "light" is that we create a separation within ourselves. We classify each day, or each experience, and even each person, as "good" or "bad". Yet, we carry within us seeds for it all. We carry the seeds for joy and sadness, for health and sickness, for love and hate. And we get to choose which seed we will water and nourish, so that it will grow. The weeds will grow but they can be removed, especially if we don't feed them with our energy.
We must not get attached to our times of feeling down, thinking they are here to stay. These experiences and moods are not who we are. They are just experiences we are having. And thus we can let them go and move on to another type of experience when we are ready to do so.
Life always seeks equilibrium or balance. The thing to remember when faced with "dark days" is that the light will always return. Just as day returns after each night, joy returns after tribulation.
