This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of choosing Love -- not indifference or apathy (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: Maybe one of the most important things we can keep in our awareness is that we always have a choice as to what energy we carry and radiate. When we choose resentment, apathy, anger, etc., we feed that energy in our life and it grows. When we choose Love, acceptance, joy, that is what we feed and that is what grows. What will you be planting and feeding in your world today? And if you plant some dark energy (which we probably all still do at times), just remember to compensate by planting and feeding an overabundance of Love and acceptance.

The focus for today is:
I choose to avoid developing an indifference or apathy that ignores love.
Today's inspiration was written by William Wilson Quinn:
It is seldom if ever that one is faced with a choice between pure or absolute love, and pure or absolute hatred. Such choices, then, are almost always more subtle than stark, and often more ambiguous than clear.
Where circumstances are ambiguous, it may not always be easy to discern selfless intent from selfish intent when confronted with life choices.
The principal challenge for the wayfarer treading the higher spiritual path, therefore, is to be able to discern accurately among ambiguous love-hate emotions when making significant life choices, and similarly to avoid developing an indifference or apathy that ignores love.

RELATED BOOK: The Higher Spiritual Path
The Higher Spiritual Path
by William Wilson Quinn.
The Higher Spiritual Path details how those on the higher spiritual path must address and master its requirements. This book is as practical as it is philosophical -- or theosophical -- since it is based on the specifics of “sacred science,” or spiritual science, an inextricable component of the perennial philosophy.
Many of the requirements of the higher spiritual path are based on the truths of this ancient spiritual science, formulated over millennia by jivanmukti, or liberated beings, who serve as the teachers of those currently engaged in treading this hieratic path. The goals of ascending this path are the loftiest; the hierarchical order of its spiritual teachers is the holiest; and the totality of its evolutionary and compassionate purpose is the most sacred.
