InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
June 2-3-4, 2023
The focus for today is:
Each path I have taken, or will take,
has something to teach me.
When we look closely at the maps of our lives, we realize that each intersection is different. Some are roads we have chosen, deliberately or unthinkingly, and some are pathways others have chosen for us. Still others are detours or blind alleys.
And then there are the intersections we can ascribe only to something larger than ourselves, a cosmic force we may call by one of many names. The important point is that each of these intersections has something to teach us, to inform our growth.
Instead of beating ourselves up for what we did or didn't do, we need to try to see the journey we've taken as necessary, glean from it what value we can, and start scanning the horizon for new opportunities.

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of learning and growing from each path you take (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: So many times, we don't realize the lesson or gift in an experience until later, even years later. Yet, every challenging experience comes with a gift, or something for us to learn.
Our focus for today: Each path I have taken, or will take, has something to teach me.
