InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

The Pathway to Integrated Living
— Daily reminders for a conscious, connected life —
You'll never know the full impact of the choices you make today. That conversation you have, that kindness you offer, that moment of courage when you choose authenticity over fear — these ripple outward in ways you can't see or measure. One person is touched, who touches another, who changes something in their world. Your small acts aren't small at all. They're the butterfly wings that create hurricanes of change.
The focus for today is:
One small act can change not just your life, but the lives of many whom you touch. Never underestimate the power of any act of courage or kindness.
Today's message is inspired by Alan Cohen, author of the book: The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore: Living Fully, Loving Freely
Alan shares how eating a piece of cake during a religious fast — a moment of choosing authenticity over fear — changed the entire trajectory of his life and, unknowingly, the lives of thousands who were helped by the work that followed. As A Course in Miracles tells us: "A miracle is never lost. It may touch many people you have not even met, and produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware." You see only the tip of the iceberg. Today's invitation is to trust that what you do with joy and inspiration is serving the planet, even when you can't see the results.
