InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
July 28-29-30 , 2023
The focus for today (and the weekend) is:
I choose to heal my heart and free it
from old wounds and sufferings.
Today's inspiration was written by Olivier Clerc:
From the first to the last page of a newspaper, we read about problematic relationships, misunderstandings, conflicts, various forms of aggressions, violence, and war.
Behind the apparent diversity of the subjects raised – economy, politics, ecology, health and education, and so on – what we find is human beings faced with other human beings, who don’t manage to establish constructive and harmonious relationships, and who cannot manage, in an intelligent way, their disagreements and conflicts. Humanity nowadays is sick at heart, on a global scale. And our modern world is dying of that.
To my mind, forgiveness is not a luxury. It’s the unavoidable transition to a better world that many of us long for. There will only be a really new or better world with a new or better heart, one that is healed, when it is freed from its old wounds and sufferings.

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of freeing your heart from old wounds and sufferings (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: The way to inner peace is to let go of grievances, old stories of injustices, and resentments. Once we let go of those, we can attain a peaceful state of mind and have room for gratitude and love to grow in our heart.
Our focus for today (and the weekend): I choose to heal my heart and free it from old wounds and sufferings.

Healing the Wounds of the Heart: 15 Obstacles to Forgiveness and How to Overcome Them
by Olivier Clerc
Choosing to engage in a conscious process of forgiving helps stop a spiral of destruction, cleanses the heart, and leads to relief, freedom, and inner peace.
Olivier Clerc identifies 15 obstacles to forgiveness--prejudices, confusions, misunderstandings--and discusses from where these perceptions originate and how they might keep us from taking the path to healing. Drawing from his years of forgiveness work as well as from the Forgiveness Project, he details four practical methods for forgiveness, each with a unique approach.
