Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose to live playfully and with a light heart.

We tend to take ourselves so seriously. Even a bad hair day can put us in a bad mood. Hair, for goodness sakes has the power to decide how we feel??? When that's the case, we probably need to re-evaluate our "happiness criteria". 

Let's lighten up and take ourselves less seriously. Bad hair day? So what! Clothes not up to the "Joneses"?  Does it really matter? Will it matter when you're on your deathbed? That's a good question to ask ourselves, especially in situations that are driven by the ego's need to feel "better than" others.

We need to get in touch with our inner child and learn to play again, learn to enjoy the present moment, learn to live and love uninhibited by what others will think. Let's be more concerned about what our inner child thinks and what we feel. It's time for us to learn to live playfully and with a light heart.

Today's Daily Inspiration is excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
