Trust where you are to be exactly where you need to be. Trust the path you are on to take you to exactly where you need to be. Trust seeing what you look at, and hearing what you listen to-- asking the questions that beg to be asked, and saying the things that cry out to be said-- to produce the reflection necessary to promote the realizations required that enable you to recognize when the door opens and provide you with the courage required to walk through. So that from here to there becomes a natural transition that "just happens" when the time is right, and is so obvious that it is simply a spontaneous shift in the right direction, with the path you are on taking you where you need to be, one situation at a time-- occasioned by 10,000 unapparent right actions opening and walking through all of the doors that led to The Door, resulting in you always being where you needed to be, doing what needed to be done, every step along the way. That is the way it is with The Way. Break a miracle down into its component parts and the whole thing is a miracle. And our life is a wonder in the making.

I am more inclined to follow my inclinations these days than my compelling urges and driving passions. My best advice is to say, listen to what you have to say about what you have to say. Listen until you can hear what is being said on all levels. Look until you can see what you are looking at. And know what's what. Clarity is hard to beat. Add Balance and Harmony Sincerity, Right Action and Perfect Timing, and we have all the companions we need to find our way through the day every day. Lay aside ambition, aspiration, willful determination and the obsession/compulsion to impose your idea of how things ought to be upon how things are. Simply listen for what is being called for, look for what needs to be done, and wait for the Six Companions to lead the way.
