InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

August 15, 2024


The focus for today is:

I am an active participant in my own life
and invite in the community I desire.

Today's inspiration was written by Erin Rachel Doppelt:

When you are seeking a life of happiness, having positive, uplifting relationships and social connections is transformational. Having a community of like-minded peers will increase your well-being.

Are there any activities you’re currently doing where you’re taking an active role by welcoming in like-minded relationships? You don’t need to have everything in common—just having this one interest can be enough to kick off a new friendship.

So many of us have felt alone as we walk our spiritual path. Yet there are people you know who desire this connection, too. I felt happier when I was having intimate spiritual conversations with those around me. I noticed that I had to be an active participant in my own life and invite in the community I desired.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being an active participant in your life (today and every day)

Comment from Marie:
Life is not a spectator sport. Unfortunately our society seems to encourage spectator sports... we watch others play games (whether in sports or in life), we watch others' lives on TV or YouTube or Instagram or next door, we talk about the lives of movie stars and famous people... But where does our life fit into this scenario? We are the actor, producer, writer and director of our own life, our own movie, our own story. We are better served by focusing on what we desire to do, be, and create... and let other people handle their own life and challenges.  

Our focus for today: I am an active participant in my own life and invite in the community I desire.
