InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
June 19th, 2024
The focus for today is:
I am 100 percent responsible for my own actions
and how I treat myself and others.
Today's inspiration was written by Cairelle Crow:
When we descend from people who’ve done terrible things, or from people who themselves have been the recipient of some sort of trauma, this energy carries itself down through our physical DNA and the genetic memory of our energetic DNA, even if we’ve never met these ancestors in person. This can perpetuate a negative pattern that continues into the present.
However, it needs to be said quite firmly that, despite our individual and collective traumas, both experienced within our lifetime and those inherited from ancestors, as adults we are 100 percent responsible for our own actions and how we treat ourselves and others. Possessing individual and collective trauma does not relieve us of responsibility for the ways we act out and possibly cause pain.
My physical DNA, and my energetic DNA, and the genetic memory it carries, were loaded with trauma and dysfunctional patterns from the moment I was born. Howeverm I do believe there is a spark of goodness in most people and that is helpful for me to remember when I am working on transmuting the negative energy from my own family and ancestors.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Healing Ancestral Wrongdoings and Dysfunctional Patterns

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of taking responsibility for your choices and actions (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Blame is a popular choice. It's easy to blame others for whatever is going wrong in our life, or in life in general. However, since we are creative beings, and we are powerful magnets as well as projecting our beliefs onto others, everything in our life comes from us in one way or the other. But there is no blame... either for others or for ourself. Everything is an experience, and hopefully a learning experience so that our next steps and our next choices become more in harmony with the energy of Love.
Our focus for today: I am 100 percent responsible for my own actions and how I treat myself and others.
