Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
While it's true that in life we "get by with a little help from our friends", it is also true that we must learn to stand on our own two feet, and take the actions that our own heart and intuitive insights guide us to. But if we've given up our power to others, either consciously or simply from apathy or due to a belief that we lack any power, then we are not making the best of the life that is our to create. We may end up feeling confused, not knowing which way is forward.
The good news (or maybe it's the bad news) is that we are all in the same boat... we all face challenges, we all at times feel despair, confusion, anger at the way things are, and we might feel like we want to give up. Yet we also all share an inner veacon of hope and by trusting in better possibilities, and taking actions towards them, we can create a better world.
At InnerSelf, we strive to bring you articles that can assist you in your quest for empowerment, joy, love, and purpose. Our diverse choice of articles bring you insights and information, and our wish is that they spark your intuitive guidance and your will for the next steps of your life's journey.
