InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
March 7, 2024
The focus for today is:
Focusing on similarities, rather than differences,
produces far more positive outcomes in our life.
Today's inspiration was written by Michael Glauser:
We share far more similarities as humans than we do differences. We have common physical attributes, we share 99 percent of the same DNA, and we have similar emotions and aspirations for ourselves and our loved ones.
Focusing on similarities does not mean we are naive about differences among us, but it produces far more positive outcomes in our lives: it helps us eliminate our biases, develop deeper friendships, collaborate on challenges, and create stronger unity in our communities.
We are one people on one planet—we are all in this life together. My hope is that we can think more about similarities and how to make our experience on earth better for everyone.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
A 6-Step Path to Happiness and Civility
Written by Michael Glauser.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of seeing your similarity to others (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Separation is the biggest disease of our times. We see ourselves as separate from others... because of race, religion, gender, political party, eating habits, preferred music, preferred entertainment, astrological sign, hobbies... The list can go on. But we are all the same... we are all human beings in search of love and happiness - however we define it. We all want to be recognized as a worthwhile person... worthy of respect and love. So let's focus on our similarities and make the world a better place.
Our focus for today: Focusing on similarities, rather than differences, produces far more positive outcomes in our life.
