There is no greater challenge than to change the self, to do work on the self, to open the self to knowledge that is neither seen nor heard. For to know the self in the deepest way and to seek to evolve is the true work of a human life. Without judgment, resentment, or blame, seek to evolve the self, not in a selfish way but in a selfless way, so that you may become a truly compassionate and loving person.

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.

When things get difficult, either because of repeated patterning or out of the blue, remind yourself that everything is part of your journey of learning and growing.
Ask yourself: “What am I learning today?”
Find the answer in the unfolding of the day, in the options that arise, the choices that present, and what comes up as the day progresses. You might begin to notice that you have more decisions to make than you thought possible, that every moment offers a choice in how you decide to attend to it. Breathe, relax, calm down and make a choice that will make the next moment calm and relaxing too. It can be as easy as that.

Some things are inevitable, they just have to be done or they just come into your life. Face them with a smile rather than a frown. Address them as a friend rather than an enemy. Embrace them as part of your journey and accept their necessity rather than regret or resent them. When the unpleasant arrives give it your all, and with a loving heart do the best you can.
Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
Spend some time today getting calm and centered. Begin by setting an intention to remain calmly centered no matter what transpires. Begin with a calming breath, relaxing the muscles in the body, letting the jaw and face go slack, dropping the shoulders and releasing tension in the neck. Do this throughout the day, many times, saying the mantra: “Breathe, relax, calm.” Center your attention on your heart and intend calm heart-centeredness.
