Today's Daily Inspiration is inspired from the "What am I expecting?" card in the Inquiry Cards deck.
Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: What am I expecting?
Our expectations can weaken us and drain us, or they can empower us. The choice lies in what we focus on. It is easy to focus on the negative, on all the doom and gloom we hear about in the world. I'm not saying we need to ignore these things, but rather that we need to expect things to get better.
We also need to look for the silver linings in all the challenges. The best way to keep ourselves centered and strong is to keep our focus on gratitude for the good that is present, and gratitude that things can and will get better.
Each situation has a seed of good in it. It is up to us to find it and to help it grow. So, we need to be aware throughout the day of what we are expecting... and if it does not match up with the reality we would like to see manifest, we then can change our expectations to better ones.
Today's Daily Inspiration was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

Inquiry Cards: 48-card Deck, Guidebook and Stand
by Sylvia Nibley (Author), Jim Hayes (Artist)
The deck that asks YOU the questions… because the answers…are INside you! A new kind of meditation tool. A delightful game to engage family, friends and clients in new ways.
We humans have a habit of looking OUTside ourselves. Especially for the big things, like love and power and answers to our most challenging questions. And that gets us into all kinds of trouble. The purpose of this deck is to turn that around and practice looking INside ourselves for answers, and in the process, train the mind to ask better questions.
