4. Spend more time planning and setting goals. Manifesting what we want still requires action and planning. Spirituality can nestle us so warmly and lovingly it’s easy to set needed action aside. The level of balance is in amount of flexibility you allow in action plan. Complete each action with total openness of all that is possible for what follows. Ask and allow universe to send easier, faster steps. And be open to see then when they arrive. Ask, trust, and allow universe’s infinite wisdom to send you answers. They are usually better than anything we usually arrive at ourselves. The tightrope is to balance trust with flexibility and space for expanded freedom and results.

5. Keep on giving. Spirituality is a gift that needs to flow. It can only continue to do so if people give. There are many ways to give and method you choose will be right one.

6. Allow room for real people and relationships. Other people ground us and connect us to physical world. Yet, they must still allow us to evolve. People are another form of giving and receiving -- two necessary parts for good ground maintenance.

7. Receiving remuneration is a gift. Accept it as if it came from universe asking you to continue flow. When we receive, water continues to flow into our cup and allows our mission to continue its evolution. Asking for compensation allows both parties to continue flow. When we shift our perspective and see need for flow, additional funds to appear.

Enjoy spirituality in balance with both feet on ground!

1. "My manager and I both agreed that my advancement opportunities were limited there and obtaining another position was best option for me and my career goals." Be prepared for a possible follow-up question such as "What ARE your career goals?"

2. "I wanted more challenging assignments." This is a nice way of saying you were bored out of your mind. Prepare to follow it up with a statement that links your desire for challenges with a specific aspect of position for which you are applying.

3. "I'm looking for an organization that supports teamwork." This could trigger "Can you expand on that?" question, so be sure to have a response planned, such as "All of incentives were individually based. I think it's more important to reward entire team for its contributions."

4. "My career goals have changed." This is a great response if you are going into a new field. However, companies want people who can hit ground running, so be prepared to explain how your past experiences make you a good candidate for this new job.

As you can see, there are various ways to explain why you left without complaining about your boss. Whatever you say should be a variation on truth.

After answering question, ask one yourself about position for which you are applying to steer conversation back to that.
