So many times, we keep on keeping on, hoping some miracle will occur to change our lives for better. If nothing appears to be changing, look to see if you have put your faith in a particular way of doing things, rather than faith in your higher purpose.

We get comfortable. We make decisions, we get into groove and soon groove can become a rut and we are no longer fresh in our thinking. It becomes a greater challenge to drive out of that rut. It takes extra effort to pick ourselves up out of a deep hole and take another road.

It's about keeping fluid, about keeping yourself flexible and willing to change to fuel your higher purpose.

No matter what path you've chosen, you need to remember who you are and discover your purpose in life. Be willing to leave your previously chosen path once you have become aware of being called in another direction. This may be frightening. It may be exciting. And it can be both.

Being faithless means being open to change, being able to let go of something if it ceases to serve your higher purpose.

Your higher purpose may not change until you feel you have attained it. The path towards that higher purpose could. By all means, remain faithful to your greater cause. Allow yourself to be noncommitted, faithless, in your path to get there. Blow all doors open. Do what it takes to discover your truth. Stand firmly within it, and then speak it.

3. Live your life as if each minute were your last. This has been said so many times that we normally brush thought aside. Why do we do this? It is a crucial part of happiness and joy. We have a tremendous power within us to change our world. I believe strongly that we create our own world by making each choice that is offered to us every second of day. That is ONLY power we have; but it is an incredible power! When we decide to consciously choose to make each and every decision, then we are creating our world on a minute-by-minute basis. Making our choices becomes easier! Simply follow guidelines as you defined who you are in step 1!

4. Let it go. We have no power over future! You can worry, fret, get ulcers, scream, shout, and go down kicking, but you will not alter future one bit and more importantly, while you are making that fuss about future, you might miss making a couple of crucial, conscious choices in here and now that allow you to create your future!
