Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
I think we can all agree that things need to change. However, we may not all know or agree on exactly what that change needs to look like.
However, first we change our attitudes. The difficult part is to become aware of the dark nooks and crannies in our own mind that harbor resentments, judgments, blame, anger, fear, etc. As we clean our own mental house, always with love, kindness, compassion, etc, then we will stop projecting those same "qualities" (if one can call them that) onto others.
It does start with us... We can choose to focus on acceptance, love, compassion, and let go of judgment, criticism and blame, etc. Once we cleanse our being of these attitudes and old programming, then our light and our love will shine. When we get in touch with who we really are and who we choose to be, and remove the veil that covers our heart. we are giving others "permission" to shine as well. That veil is not protecting us, it is separating us from our true self and from the true self of others.
Our goal at InnerSelf is to help empower you to access your True Self and discover and activate your role in the future of us all. Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
