InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
July 5-6-7, 2024
The focus for today is:
I focus on doing good and helping others.
Today's inspiration was written by Vincent DeFilippo:
They say that “what goes around comes around.” This simple phrase essentially amounts to one central principle — in life, you receive whatever you give. The concept, called karma, is a fundamental doctrine of both Buddhism and Hinduism.
If your focus is on doing good and helping others, good things will happen to you. You’ll attract great people in your life. If you think and feel positive, that positive energy radiates to your surroundings and people will be drawn to you.
The karma you’ve created will elevate you to successful circles among people who’ve accomplished great things in their lives. These people further motivate you to become the best version of yourself. They radiate good energy and habits. You can learn by just watching, listening, and following their lead.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being the best version of yourself (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: It is important to help others, but one must also remember that one can't give from an empty basket. The same principle goes when on airlines they tell parents to put o their oxygen mask on first. We must first be who we truly are, and live that truth, and then we can share it with others.
Our focus for today: I focus on doing good and helping others.

Braking Point: How Escalation of Commitment is Destroying the World (and How You Can Save Yourself)
by Vincent deFilippo.
Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot about things “escalating” – in a bad way. One way or another, we have fallen victim to “escalation of commitment” – better known as EOC. We are hard-wired to make mountains out of molehills, pour gasoline on a fire, spiral out of control, go over the edge, cross the line, and say things better left unsaid. And, like lemmings racing over a cliff, we seem almost fated to go too far. Despite reason and common sense telling us to quit while we’re ahead, to cut our losses, to get out while we can, something keeps us escalating the crazy.
By understanding specific EOC motivations and effective strategies to diminish them, more effective decision-making can result. With this in mind, Braking Point offers a detailed look at why we often get swallowed up in EOC scenarios and how we can avoid them. It’s an essential resource for anyone looking to enhance their decision-making capabilities in any area of their life.
