InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self.


Things are not always as they appear, and the solution to problems is not always what we may think it is. Many times, and especially now, we must expand our focus to see outside the box of what has been delineated for us, and we must also think outside that box to find solutions. The "same old same old" is no longer a feasible solution... if it ever was.

This is the time for us to get in touch with our creative mind, our imaginative self, and come up with solutions that are perhaps out of the ordinary. Because ordinary has not been working. Ordinary has gotten us in a big mess: politically where all we see are adversaries, planet-wide where there is so much greed and devastation, and population-wise with wars, greed, grudges, anger, and more greed.

It is time to come up with new solutions. Out with the old and in with the new... Though of course, not all "new things" are necessarily good for us. A lot of new "miracle drugs" seem to be new ways to either drag out a miserable existence unable to get out of bed, or just add pain and other diseases as "side-effects", or create a dependency on chemicals with their highs and their lows.

So this week, as all weeks, we at InnerSelf bring you articles that encourage you to look and think outside the box of traditional thinking, to see who is pulling the strings in your life and on the public stage. It is your life and it is time for you, and for all of us, to reclaim our authority and autonomy over our life and the world we live in. One for All, and All for One. Together we can do it!

Scroll down for the new articles, videos, and audios that were added to the InnerSelf.com website this week. And please visit our YouTube channel for new videos...and subscribe. Thank you.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week. 

...with Peace, Love, Gratitude, and Joy,
