InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - July 20, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration July 20, 2026 Just Add Love: A Recipe for Life, Love, and Happiness By Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com Love is the healer, the teacher, the happiness-bringer. Love is the solution to all of the world's problems. Sound simplistic? Yes it is, but that's the wonderful thing about it. It is simple. It's a simple solution for complex problems. But it is the solution! — Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com Many years ago, someone I knew had a "mantra" or "catch-phrase" which he repeated to all who were willing (or not) to hear. And it was: "Love Is All There Is". And while I felt was a lofty statement, part of me bristled every time I heard it. After all, how could he say that love is all there is when there is so much war, hatred, crime, pettiness, jealousy, etc. etc. Years later, as wisdom set in (an ongoing process) I realized that he was right. But to understand the "rightness" of his comment, one also had to understand that all the "bad situations" in the world were due to the absence of Love. Thus they did not really have any form or essence on their own... they were simply the absence of Love. As I was reflecting on this, I realized that life (ours and others) is like a personal recipe we are all working on. Just as when you're cooking, you can either follow the recipe to the letter, or as most good cooks know, you taste and adjust as you go along. However, there is one ingredient that needs to be present in each and every "recipe" in order for the recipe to be successful – to taste good, to look good, to feel good. And that ingredient is Love.
