Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I take a deep breath, and tune in rather than "re-act".

To access our own wisdom, we need to take the time to pause before reacting -- which is not always easy to do. And perhaps that is the first piece of wisdom to access... remembering to remind ourselves: Don't fly off the handle, take a deep breath, and do not "re-act". 

How do we do this? By looking and interpreting what we see from a neutral perspective, as an observer, rather than a participant. Seeing the situation from the outside, as if you we're watching a movie, will give you the chance to apply your wisdom to the situation.

And yes, sometimes that happens after the 'faux-pas', because after all, wisdom comes from knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insights.


Today's Daily Inspiration is excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

Being Aware and Understanding Our Connection to Everything
