InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - August 14, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration August 14, 2026 Finding Your Way and Flowing with The Mystery of Life By Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com "You can either paint a dark picture of life -- or choose a brighter, happier palette. The brilliant hues of joy, gratitude and love will turn your life into a glowing work of art." — Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com Life. It's something we all have in common, no matter our religion, our race, our gender, our whatever. We are alive! Which means we have choices we make, constantly, whether we are aware of it or not. We get to choose from a wide palette of emotions, attitudes, and actions. Some may be adopted from our heritage, our environment, our siblings, our friends, and some may be unique to us. While life may seem to be about extremes - night and day, winter and summer, love and hate -- it is actually about the balance between all of those. While all extremes exist, we learn to walk the road of balance... between extreme giving and extreme receiving, between extreme exertion and extreme relaxation, between extreme joy and extreme sadness. We learn to balance all the energies so that we are not tilting in one direction or the other, but remain mostly in equilibrium between the storms. We have moments of joy and moments of sadness, but we realize all of those moments are just that... moments, fleeting moments in life that are just passing through. Even on the darkest day when the clouds seem to be everywhere, the sun is always present, up behind the clouds. The sun is always there, even when we don't see it. And so it is with the blessings in our life. They are always there, whether we are conscious of them or not. Sometimes they are hidden behind the dark clouds of our thoughts and attitudes, but the blessings are nevertheless always present and available to us. Read the Full Article
