InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

April 18, 2024


The focus for today is:

Pleasure is constantly accessible
in each moment and with every interaction.

Today's inspiration was written by Julia Paulette Hollenbery:

When we see animals and children playing and enjoying themselves, we often smile in response, recognizing pleasure as natural, healthy and valuable.

Pleasure is an essential dynamic in human existence. We, just like the rest of the natural world, yearn to be fully alive, full of passion and pleasure, humility and sensuality, purpose, dynamism and peace.

There is an abundance of pleasure possible for us all, a great deal more than we currently live. It is freely available to everyone without discrimination or expense. It is constantly accessible in each moment and with every interaction.

     An Abundance of Pleasure Is Possible For All

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of seeking and discovering pleasure in every single moment (today and every day)

Comment from Marie:
Pleasure can be found in the simplest things... a bite of a fresh juicy (organic) apple, the scent of a flower, a fresh breeze on a hot day, the smile on a child's face or a friend's face, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, eating a wonderful meal, hearing a great song, getting somewhere on time when you thought you'd be late, etc. etc. Pleasure is available to us in each and every moment, but we are the ones who have to be open to choose to experience it. If we are living on auto-pilot, or worse in critic mode, then pleasure will elude us. But if we open our heart, our eyes, our awareness, pleasure is to be found all around us and can be experienced inside of our own being.  

Our focus for today: Pleasure is constantly accessible in each moment and with every interaction.
