InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

September 5, 2024


The focus for today is:

I keep my words kind and my actions
selfless, gracious, and accountable.

Today's inspiration was written by Robyn Spizman:

Every day we can wake up joy­ful, stay positive, and set a little love in motion. We have the potential to be a reservoir of goodness and a wellspring of kindness.

Keeping positive thoughts locked up in our minds limits our ability to create more goodwill, and that’s a waste. It’s that simple.

A good life is built one day at a time. Catch yourself or someone else doing something wonderful, and take notice. Slow down enough to connect with your caring and generous heart. Keep your words kind and your actions selfless, gracious, and accountable.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
   Loving Each Other -- and The World Around Us -- Out Loud
   by Robyn Spizman.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of keeping your words - and your thoughts - kind (today and every day)

Comment from Marie:
I don't know about you, but there is this "other me" that pops up in my head every now and then... and she's not very nice. She can be mean, catty, judgmental, and use words that can hurt... even if I'm not saying them, just thinking them. So, there again, we have a choice. Do we give our power of expression, our power of being, to that "unkind" version of ourselves, or do we choose differently. Choosing kindness is definitely better for us, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Our focus for today: I keep my words kind and my actions selfless, gracious, and accountable.
