InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
March 18, 2025
This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a day of being good to yourself (today and every day).
Many of us have been taught to put the needs of others before ours. Yet, if we burn out, then we are no good to anyone else. So we must take care of ourselves, make sure we fill our tank with love and energy, so that we can be a radiant light in the world around us.
The focus for today is:
I now give myself permission to put myself first.
Today's message is inspired by Maryann Weston, author of the book: Revealing Light.
Cancer is a huge learning curve and the ultimate game changer. You never live your life in the same way. You try and avoid stress and you are choosy about who you allow into your life, and by how much.
I will never let myself get overworked again, ever. My children are adults now and it’s time for me to live my life in my best interests; to take a bigger slice of life for myself. A lot changed after my diagnosis.
What matters is the now and the journey, the gratitude we learn to make part of our life and, ironically, the cruelest lessons cancer deals us. I now give myself permission to put myself first.

RELATED BOOK: Revealing Light
Revealing Light: How Cancer Illuminated My Divine Blueprint
by Maryann Weston.
A spiritual odyssey, Revealing Light: How Cancer Illuminated My Divine Blueprint tells the story of its author's psychological and spiritual evolution, from confronting her mortality with a deadly illness to creating a community of like-minded people. In 2015, amid a successful career, wife and mother Maryann Weston was diagnosed with cancer. Confronted by death, she felt inadequate and small.
If only she had known then how supremely and divinely Spirit would soon walk beside her, onto cancer's battlefield... This book is about the gifts received through adversity, about learning in the fiery waters of a spiritual baptism that many cancer warriors experience and how crisis can shatter existence to reveal divine purpose in life - a blueprint we agreed to before we were born.
