Inner Power

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I take responsibility for the life I have created. If we believe that we have no choices and that we are powerless in life, we will live life from a victim point of view. If we take responsibility for our lives and are aware of how we create our experiences from our beliefs and perceptions, we will live life from the point of view...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am conscious of my true needs. What we do is based on what we wish to attain, or our needs. Some people feel a great need for money, but is it really money they yearn for? In some cases money equates power, or comfort, or safety. Our goal is not money. It is to attain a sense of something... joy, freedom, security, peace, etc. W...

Written by Will Wilkinson and narrated by Marie T. Russell. Since humans began thinking we’ve asked, “Who am I, why am I here?” Philosophers have debated, spiritual seekers have meditated, hedonists have partied, super achievers have produced, scientists have invented, technology has created marvels, and almost everyone has missed the obvious: human beings are designed to function as the connectin...

itten by Joyce Vissell.  Narrated by Marie T. Russell. Have you ever really needed help and it seemed like no one cared?  Well, we just had that experience and it ended up in a beautiful miracle. Barry and I had just finished a river trip on the Trinity River in Northern California. It was extremely hot as we were beginning our way back home after a very tiring day putting all of the raf...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I have the courage to believe in a better life. While the common saying goes "I'll believe it when I see it", Wayne Dyer told us "You'll see it when you believe it". We must first "see" and believe in what we wish to create before it can be in our lives. That is a great truism in the metaphysical (more than physical) world. And we...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I face the source of stress in my life and deal with it creatively. The medical community is recognizing the deadly role that stress plays in the cause of illness. It is a major factor in the suppression of the immune system. When we allow our emotions and mental state to be affected by the stressful factors in our worlds, we beco...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am always shown, step by step, intuitively, what to do. "Whenever you have a problem -- business or personal -- turn it over to the forces of creation, to God as you understand God. Most people call this process prayer, but you can call it anything you like. "Turn everything over to God; let God work out the details. Just keep a...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I create relationships where I can be myself without fear. Our great fear is that once we open up and show our "true" selves, that people will turn against us, that they will look down at us (as we do on ourselves), that they will abandon us, that they will reject us (as we reject ourselves). It takes courage to let intimacy into...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I have a kind word and a smile for the people I encounter. It is so easy to make a difference in someone's life. And it doesn't cost a thing. You don't have to be a superman or a super woman. A kind word. A smile. A bit of kind and loving attention. That's all it takes. The best thing we can do for others is have a kind word and a...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   Wherever I am is exactly where I need to be. Some people think that in order to pray you have to be in a church, or that to meditate you must be sitting in the lotus position, or that to receive spiritual teachings you must be in the presence of a teacher or guru. Life itself is our best teacher, Nature is the most wonderful churc...

Written by Wayne Dosick. Narrated by Marie T. Russell. Editor's Note: If you're not comfortable with "religious" terms or if the name "God" doesn't match up with your beliefs, you can use the word Love instead of the word God. Most human beings want the same thing. Food. Shelter. Clothing. Good health. A sense of purpose. Education. Productive work. Prosperity. Friendship. Love. Happiness. For som...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I pay attention to my emotional and spiritual needs. We all have needs. And those needs are constantly changing. Sometimes we need solitude, other times companionship. Sometimes we need activity and entertaining events, other times our soul yearns for peace and quiet. Sometimes we need food, exercise, sleep, etc... and sometimes w...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   My soul obeys the force of Love. It is said there are only two energies... love and fear. At first we may think that is simplistic, but when we break down any other emotion (energy in motion), we find that it all fits either under the umbrella of fear or of love. Thus, which one will we choose? Which one will be our master or guid...

Written by Radha Ruparell.  Narrated by Marie T. Russell. What would you reveal to the world if you weren’t afraid? Chances are that there’s a piece of you that you aren’t sharing with others. We all have things we hide. Sometimes they’re our deep dark secrets. But other times, they’re the best parts of ourselves—our dreams, our hopes, or even our affection for others. Somehow though, we all...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:  I choose to befriend my emotions. At times we fear our emotions... probably because we've repressed them and we're afraid the pressure may burst and create havoc. However, our emotions are messengers. They are there to guide us, and to let us know what is really going on in our subconscious. The more we acknowledge and honor our em...

Written by Jane Finkle. Narrated by Marie T. Russell As with all aspects of life, it’s impossible to predict with certainty how your career will evolve. But having some clear ideas of what you want to do and where you want to end up will increase the likelihood of getting to your destination. A variety of factors can impact your career destiny, such as how you are presently situated—whether you ar...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am a "can-do", "will-try" kind of person. When people talk about tough love, they usually are thinking of parent to child. However, tough love can be applied to ourselves as well. But just as from a parent to a child, tough love for yourself is still love. It is not judgmental, blaming, or a put-down. It is about wanting the bes...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I choose joy! We cannot hold two contrary thoughts at the same time and we cannot hold two contrary emotions at the same time. Which means that we always have a choice. We can choose anger or love, and we can choose sadness or joy. Since joy and sadness cannot exist at the same time, let's choose joy! Today's Focus was inspired by...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I deal with issues and situations in the moment. Procrastination does not serve us at all. If we avoid dealing with the issues that come up in our lives as they come up, the Universe will simply keep bringing up the same or similar situations, each time a little bit more intensely, until we face whatever it is we need to face. Pro...

Written by Peter Ruppert . Narrated by Marie T. Russell. Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.   — ALBERT EINSTEIN If you continue to build courage throughout your life and take each next step with grit, determination and a knowledge that failures along the way are part of the process, you will eventually com...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I strive for balance in my attitudes. One of the ingredients of harmony and happiness is balance. We are out of balance when we feel lack or fear in any way... whether we feel lacking in personal attributes, or in financial support. Anytime we fear something, such as the lack of money or loss of a relationship, we are out of balan...
