Daily Inspirations

Free

Why does one driver smile and relax in traffic, while another is tense and irritable? It is a matter of choice. Freedom of choice is an expression of our spiritual freedom, and it affects our attitudes and experiences.

Sometimes it becomes our habit to look for what is wrong in the world, and when we look for what is wrong and what is bad, we find it.  When we look for what is good and what is right, we find that too.

When we get caught up in looking at the negative in ourselves and in other people, we become irritable, discontent and even physically and emotionally ill.  We all want others to see the best in us, and look beyond our flaws.  Should we not do the same for our fellow travelers?

Today I have a simple choice: I can be held captive by irritation and restrictive ways of thinking and being, or I can practice genuine spiritual freedom by expressing love in all I think, say and do.

I choose thoughts and words that are free of disapproval or the need to be right. I choose activities that nurture my body and mind, expressing the freedom of my soul. I choose to treat others in ways that reflect an attitude and spirit of freedom and love.

Love and Blessings,
