Words matter. They have power. What you tell yourself and how you tell it matters. Your approach and your attitude matter greatly if you are to produce positive change rather than negative reaction. Choose positive words of kindness, compassion, and encouragement over negative words of defeat and despair. Remember, life doesn’t change in one day, it takes small steps to change, but each step taken with good intentions and good attitude makes a world of difference. Tell yourself something good. And remember to see the good side of the bad, as we learn from everything.

A warrior is always prepared to choose a new path, to follow where spirit leads, finding meaning in each day’s journey. A warrior’s strength comes from inside, in the cultivation of intent and inner determination. A warrior need not reveal the true nature of what lies within, for it is not necessary. The warrior simply lives it. The only thing that is necessary is the commitment to the warrior’s path and the union with spirit, the ultimate strong Self.

The warrior meets likeminded people on the path of spirit, inner warriors who also know that there is no greater cause than seeking the highest level of inner strength and unity with the Higher Self. Remind yourself of this ultimate goal every day as you take up the warrior’s work, shifting into the flow of your spirit’s intent. Worthy work indeed!

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It is too early in the New Year for regret. It is too soon to revert to old ways. A warrior knows the power of intent. A warrior stays always on the path of strength and fortitude, taking up the weapons of consciousness and awareness, never taking attention off the task at hand, keeping alert to the winds that shift and change, bringing new challenges and new gifts. You too are a warrior, each day setting out upon the path you have chosen, finding your rewards in even the most subtle of accomplishments, in each small step you take. The warrior knows that things can change in an instant and so a warrior is always ready to jump into the rigors of life with renewed vigor. Things change every day. Get ready.

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

In these changing times your own needs for change may seem inconsequential, but this is never so, for change within the self is of the utmost importance. What part of yourself is reluctant to admit that change is necessary? What gets in the way of even your most serious endeavors? Where there is a will there is a way, but the way may not be easy. Change comes about as a result of the challenges you pose to yourself and the actions you take. Inspire yourself each day with each breath you take and each step that moves you forward. One step at a time, take charge.
