Another day dedicated to quiet might not be possible, but keep quiet in your thoughts. Keep quiet in your mind. Keep your body quiet. Keep in balance and protect your energy. When you give too much you suffer. Even if you wish to alleviate the suffering of others there is no point in suffering yourself, it just depletes your energy and then you have nothing to give. Give generously, but remain in balance yourself. Keep quiet today so that you may stay in balance. You are important too!

Allow for some quiet today. Experience the self in alignment with all else, with nature, with animals, with other people. Speak less, do less; just sit. And don’t forget to breathe, for the breath is your aligning mechanism. It brings you into synch not only with all that you are but with all else too. It is what you all share. It makes you no more or less than anyone else, but it is also your most powerful asset. Use it wisely.

What do you really need in order to get where you are going? All beings are going, ultimately, in the same direction, though some refuse to acknowledge this. The real truth is that life is meant for you to evolve. Choose to do that. Choose evolution in everything you do. Choose to take your journey through this lifetime with awareness and openness, tuned in rather than tuned out. You will be glad you did!

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

The placement of attention on what truly matters is a fine practice to institute but also to bring the self into alignment with a life of meaning and purpose. Not everything matters. Find out what does, especially to you personally, and then find your way to making it not just matter-of-fact, but truly important. If it really is something that matters, the universe will find its own way to support you. That is alignment.

A good life is measured not by what you have accumulated but by what you have done. Concentrating less on what you want for yourself and more on what you can do for others may be a first move out of the hole you have dug yourself into.

Shifting eyes away from the self and out onto the world may just be the thing to start you on a new and healthy journey of purpose and meaning. Because sometimes self-reflection leads to new inner discoveries of value and sometimes it leads only to self-pity.

Sometimes a shift away from the self is a catalyst to truly knowing the self in a new way. By learning how to truly relate to others on a deeper level you discover your own hidden virtues. And so do others. And that’s valuable!
