You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output -- how much you produce -- not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself and your own personal evolution.

We can only do our very best, but try we must. In our own individual way, we create, set intention, and manifest our dreams. There is no need to compare ourselves with others, as there is no race nor competition during the development of the soul. Rather than repress others, we pull them along that they might also discover the soul within and the connection between us all.
We evolve in such subtle ways it is necessary to slow down to maintain a keen observation of ourselves ... our thoughts ... actions ... reactions ... feelings ... insights ... and the Divine presence dwelling within us all.
Things are not always as they seem. We must broaden our vision and stretch our understanding by looking through the eyes of others, not just our own. By understanding someone else's plight, we are not condoning nor condemning ... we are leaving judgment to the Divine.
Our greatest barrier is in the fear of letting go. We must step through this illusion of fear which stunts us and discover our true nature waiting to unfold. When we nurture our soul, we find the peace and calm we have been searching for.
