Rather than complain about how imperfect others are turn your complaints toward the self. Use this method of self-examination to go deeper in your inner work. How are you as imperfect as you find others? Ask yourself such uncomfortable questions and in this manner get to know yourself a little bit more. In this manner have compassion for self and other, for you are just like others and others are just like you. No one is perfect. Want to experience change? Do inner work. Practice compassion.

There is no great secret to life other than living modestly, with moderation in all things, keeping balanced and aligned with what is right through the practices of loving kindness and compassion to all living beings, self included. There is no other real means of achieving success, for what is success other than becoming a loving human being? Practice daily. That’s the secret.

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Where there is good there is also evil. Where there is evil there is good. Where there is life there is death. It is the dual law of nature, structured for balance. So does this dualism exist inside each of you. It is the shadow self that makes you do things the light self might never do. Condemn not the shadow but know it fully, for to know the self fully is to know thine enemy. To fear the enemy is to fear the self. To fear death is to fear life. Know the self fully so that you may fully live without fear.

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

It is a time to pause and contemplate, not a time to rush ahead. Use such time wisely for the good of the self and pray that it is used in similar fashion for the good of all by those in world power, for it is not a time to rush into action but to be careful about decisions made. Make wise decisions now for self and other, for chaos is too easily tipped into and chaos is never a good cause. Pray for peace.

The road of life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, abrupt stops and sheer cliffs, all meaningful, taking you where you need to go, to your next step, your next challenge. A roadblock may signal not a stop but a time to pause for deeper contemplation, a time of renewal. All energy must be renewed at times, given rest and rejuvenation, even yours.

Let the road of life show you each day what it is time for. Let the signs and synchronicities in your life guide you, but be careful how you interpret them. They may not mean what you think. Take time to listen and wait for confirmation before proceeding. Use your energy wisely, keeping your state of balance always in mind.

Take what comes each day and use it to your advantage. Sometimes it’s just time to stop and turn in a new direction. Is today that day?
