Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: The voice of wisdom guides me to choose the most loving way.
Life consists of choices... some are "good" choices, and others not so good. However every choice we make helps us build a foundation of wisdom gained from experience.
As I think of wisdom, and what it means for me, The Serenity Prayer comes to mind. The original version is slightly different than the one you may be familiar with and it goes like this:
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other."
As we go forward on our life's journey, we accumulate wisdom. One source of wisdom, of course, is experience, both ours and the experience of those who have come before us. Another source of wisdom is our inner or divine self, the small voice that speaks to us internally to guide us along the way. And a third voice of wisdom is the voice of Pure Love, the voice of our conscience, which guides us to choose the most loving way, both for ourselves and for the world at large.
Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

EDITOR'S NOTE:
ABOUT THE NEW CONCEPT FOR THE DAILY INSPIRATION:
This week we are introducing a new concept for the Daily Inspiration. Each week, I will write a short article to be used at the source of Monday's Daily Inspiration (which is usually emailed out on Sunday evening Eastern Time). On each day of that week, I will add to the "theme" of the article. The "new episode" each day will be written both as an addition to the article, and as the source for the Daily Inspiration for that day. At the end of the week, the article will be complete and featured in its entirety in Sunday's InnerSelf Magazine, along with an audio and video of the complete article. As a Daily Inspiration subscriber, you not only get the inspiration each day, but you also get an advance read on an article as it develops.
This is a bit of an experiment, so we may adjust the concept as we go along. And of course, we welcome your comments and suggestions by using the Contact Us form on the "This and That" drop down menu above.
Wishing you a loving and insight-full day!
