Do not be upset by every stone and pothole on the road to balance, for they too are part of the journey. They too point out that there are always challenges to encounter and to not get swept up in feeling that you are not doing well on your journey to wholeness. Keep going. And without regret sidestep the obstructions and feel no remorse for the fact that you stepped into what naturally formed on your path. Just keep going, for the end result will be the same.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Life has its rituals and patterns that seem to need attention, especially those attached to family and the expectations of society. But life also, in its evolutionary phase, may require the breaking away from those rituals and patterns so that individuality may be achieved. Individuality involves the evolution of the inner spirit, which may indeed involve breaking away from the constraints of society to discover its true purpose. Rituals uphold and frame life, but at a certain point it may be time to make them less important and to turn instead to what is really needed by the spirit in its intent to evolve. This may involve a period of solitary endeavor, such as recapitulation, in order to resolve old issues that hold the spirit captive. A solitary retreat, even for a few days, may hold the gold that you and your spirit seek.

The road to change is never straight. It weaves, wobbles and backtracks, taking you through its necessary and inevitable twists and turns. Do not lose faith but keep going, for life’s unfolding is just that, full of twists and turns, playing out like a great mystery in which the ending is never truly known except the one great and permanent change at the end. During the playing out of the mystery of life maintain an attitude of curiosity, interest, fascination and constant openness to the mystery of what is to come so that every moment fills you with awe.

Sending you love,

A balance is created when what is inside you is no longer overpowering, in control, or dominating. When inner turmoil has lost its punch balance ensues. And how to lessen the punch? With impeccability and by fearlessly confronting what it is that overpowers, controls and dominates one’s thoughts, actions and emotions, one eventually tames the beast within. The kind of balance that ensues is one that cannot be disturbed no matter what comes to challenge. Though more often than not, once one confronts what is going on inside the self, life’s challenges simmer down too, so that what is outside the self is equally balanced and calm. With impeccability, compassion, and a determined heart, seek to calm the beasts within and attain balance without as well.

Create balance in your life in your own best way, in the way that makes the most sense for you. Rather than strive to be like someone else whom you might admire, find your own way to a balanced lifestyle that will work for you. In your search for balance, get to know yourself really well so that you can avoid your usual pitfalls and steer clear of bad habits. Change yourself in positive, beneficial ways. Change is always possible. And though it may be a challenge to get going in a new direction, the rewards will be tremendous.
