Reach for the stars they say! Reach for your highest potential! Everything is possible! Well, the truth is that all of those saying are absolutely true, the only caveat is that you have to put your own energy behind them, your own faith and trust in yourself in order for them to work for you. No one else can give you the energy you need to propel your forward. You have to instigate it within yourself. Yes, someone can certainly inspire you to change, to move in a new direction, to go for it, but only you can bring forth the energy that will sustain you and the belief in yourself that is so necessary to move forward in life. Part of the process involves acknowledging and resolving what keeps you from achieving what you desire. Look at the flower that blooms, that struggles from deep inside the earth, a tiny seed. Notice how it does not stop. It does not have thoughts of lack or depletion, it simply strives for what it knows belongs to it; the sunshine that will nurture it, the rain what will feed it, the earth that will support it. It does not ever doubt or think negatively; it just grows. So too are you a creature of the same world and so too will you be fed, nurtured and supported, if you believe it.

Sending you love,

All that comes to you, your lessons, your challenges, your traumas, your losses, are for your personal benefit. They are your life lessons, meant to engage you and teach you. Appropriate questions to ask as you struggle through any phase of life are: What am I to learn from this? How can I best advance by having this issue in my life? Where is this leading me? Keep in mind that everything that happens to you is for your benefit and you will soon begin to see how you are being benefitted, how you are being guided, and how you are being led toward something new. Everything that happens to you is nudging you forward in life.

Sending you love,

A fool once tried to get a donkey to move, but nothing they did or said would move the donkey. That is often what happens in life. Trying to make something happen is a fool’s errand. You can’t change anyone else. You can only change yourself. In so doing, you show that change is possible, and when others see this they too are empowered to change, if they are ready.

Sending you love,

After going through a period of change, whether rough or mild, the result is the same. Sit and take a breath. Sit and settle into restful calmness. Think upon what has been accomplished and with gratitude give thanks for safe passage through the period of change that was so necessary. All change is necessary but it may not be clear that this is so until much later. Sit awhile and give thanks for what you have gone through and how it has changed you. No, you are not the person you were before, and that is good!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

With certainty of self firmly in place, with your heart centered and focused on your own growth and prosperity, set your foot down into the firmness of your life. And, as you claim your space in the universe and in your world, know that you are guided and protected in more ways than you can imagine. Open up to the truth that you are never alone. Ask for guidance and it will come. Ask for help and it will come. Ask to be shown what to do next and you will be shown. The answers may come in outlandish ways. You have no idea how spirit will speak to you each time you ask for something, but believe and trust that it will. Keep alert so you don’t miss anything!

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
