InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
January 30, 2024
The focus for today is:
I take action to design a new future for myself and bring it into being.
Today's inspiration was written by Carl Greer:
You don’t have to wait for health challenges related to aging to awaken you to your potential for living a more fulfilling life and using your time more consciously, in ways that give you greater satisfaction. You can choose to do that now. Will you procrastinate, or will you begin taking charge of your time and your schedule?
If you’re ready to live more conscious of the limits of your time on earth, what one thing could you do today to become more conscious of your choices as you make them and the choices you’ve made in the past that didn’t turn out well? What could you do to free up more time for what you say are your priorities? What in your life is worth your attention but not receiving it?
Tomorrow starts today. What can you do to change, and how quickly will you take action to design a new future for yourself and bring it into being?

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Designing a New Future for Yourself

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of designing a new future for yourself (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Perhaps our greatest roadblock in choosing to move forward is answering the question "What is best for me?" as "I don't know". Your little "i" may not know, but your higher self or greater "I" does know. So ask your higher self, or intuitive self, what is best for you. Another way around this blockage is to say, "If I did know what is best for me, what would it be?"
Our focus for today: I take action to design a new future for myself and bring it into being.

The Necktie and The Jaguar: A memoir to help you change your story and find fulfillment
by Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD
Compelling reading for anyone seeking the courage to make more conscious choices and live fully awake, The Necktie and The Jaguar is a memoir with thought-provoking questions that encourage self-exploration. Author Carl Greer—businessman, philanthropist, and retired Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist—offers an illuminating roadmap to individuation and personal transformation.
Writing about his spiritual practices and reflecting on his vulnerabilities, he tells of honoring his longings for purpose and meaning, journeying to transpersonal realms, reinventing his life, and devoting himself to service to others while living with deep respect for Pachamama, Mother Earth. His memoir is an inspirational testament to the power of self-discovery. As Carl Greer learned, you don’t have to feel trapped in a story someone else has written for you.
