InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

The Pathway to Integrated Living
— Daily reminders for a conscious, connected life —
Have you ever felt discouraged by all the things you're told you must do to succeed? Sometimes the world presents so many prerequisites and hoops to jump through that your dreams feel impossible. But what if there's a different way—one that relies less on forcing your way through obstacles and more on aligning with a power greater than yourself?
The focus for today is:
If Spirit wants your book published, it will be published.
Today's message is inspired by Alan Cohen, author of the book: I Had It All the Time: When Self-Improvement Gives Way to Ecstasy
Cohen shares the story of submitting his first book to a dozen publishers, all of whom rejected it. He published it himself, and soon after—despite tossing away a brochure from a potential distributor—a friend sent him the exact same brochure with the message, "I think you should send your book to this company." Taking the clue, he did. The book became a bestseller and changed his life. As Cohen reminds us: "Whatever Spirit wants, Spirit gets." When your work is aligned with Higher Power, you don't manufacture success alone—you partner with the Intelligence and Love that guides the entire Universe.
