When times are difficult it is best to withdraw from external activity and argumentation that activates emotions and desires that do not serve you or others. It is far better to sit in contemplation for a long time, even when there is pressure to decide, to be sure that you are making the right decision. The right decision will serve the greater good, and the whole, rather than the greedy few. Take all the time you need to make your own decisions of import during these outer times of difficulty. For if there is strife in the world around you, you can be sure that you are feeling it, and if you are feeling it then it also stands to reason that it affects you in some way. So, take time to get to the bottom of your own truth before deciding what is really right, in any situation. Do not go to haste, but do go to patient waiting. When the time is right, the right decision will clearly show itself.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

There is no telling what the outcome of events will be, but we can tell you, from our perspective on the other side of life as you know it, that choices do matter. Take time to sit and contemplate the outcome of decisions, to envision what is needed that is best for the greater whole, and then what is needed to act upon that vision. To act on the decision that will be for the greatest good is to be in alignment with something outside of the self, outside of and beyond the ego self. To make decisions based on the filter of the heart is the best method of achieving goals and outcomes that will serve the many, rather than decisions based on the desires and needs of the few, which will, in the end, only serve the few.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

If you leave the door open who knows what might get in. The choice becomes whether it is better to keep the door closed and deal with what is or keep the door open and deal with what might come. Both choices present their challenges. Both choices present their opportunities. But is one choice better than the other? Some say it’s better to keep the door closed, others that it’s better to keep the door open. Are there ulterior motives to keeping the door open? Are there fears that keep the door closed? One way or another, the time comes in every life when the decision has to be made, open or closed?

Sending you love,

Life offers many opportunities, some good, some not so good. Freedom of choice is a privilege of maturity, the ability to stand alone as an adult and decide the direction that is most compatible. There are all kinds of people and all kinds of directions to take, but a person of integrity, intent upon a path with heart, will easily know what direction is right. In staying connected to guidance from the heart, each life decision comes with clear instructions on how to best proceed so that good may prevail, within and without. Choose always the way of the heart, for a true heart will give true and honest advice and thus true progress may be made in the direction of the good.

Sending you love,

Slow down. Take things slowly, as they come, carefully pondering what to do rather than leaping ahead without knowing where you are going. Sometimes it’s okay to leap, to enter into the unknown, but even that should be done with some knowledge of how to navigate. When unexpected choices must be made there is no need to be rushed or pressured. Take your time and make the choice that is right for you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
