InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
March 12, 2025
This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a day of authenticity (today and every day).
The focus for today is:
I choose to be authentic and this gives others the freedom
to be true to themselves as well.
Today's message is written by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com.
Life’s too short to be miserable. Life’s too short to live someone else’s dream and not your own. Life’s too short to sacrifice your truth and your purpose to someone else’s desires and requirements.
And no, this doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you authentic and it gives others the freedom to be true to themselves as well, since we teach best by example.
So let’s start tuning in to our heart, to what makes our heart vibrate with joy, excitement, and gives us a reason to get up in the morning with a smile on our face and a song in our heart.
