This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of taking responsibility for your actions (today and every day).
COMMENT BY MARIE: We all (well most of us, anyway) don't like to be wrong. And admitting our part in a relationship issue can be humbling. Yet, healing the wounds of a relationship requires honesty, both with our own self and with others.
InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
January 3-4-5, 2025
The focus for today, and the weekend, is:
I am willing to take responsibility for my actions.
Today's inspiration was written by Barry Vissell:
For a relationship to be healthy, whether lovers, friends, or family, both parties need to be willing to take responsibility for their own part when there are hurt feelings.
This is sometimes very difficult to do. It is always easier to see the other person's fault than your own.
If you're angry or defensive in a situation, look deeper and you will find your part.

A Couple of Miracles: One Couple, More Than a Few Miracles
by Barry and Joyce Vissell.
We write our story, not only to entertain you, our readers, and certainly you will be entertained, but more so to inspire you. One thing we have learned after seventy-five years in these bodies, living on this earth, is that all of us have lives filled with miracles.
We sincerely hope you will look at your own lives with new eyes, and discover the miraculous in so many of your own stories. Like Einstein said, “There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
