I realized a long time ago that my personal happiness and success was my responsibility and more importantly the use of the power I had to make choices. That is when I began a process of discovering the wisdom available to me to guide my way. It has taken a long time and it has been a path with many diverging paths, but they always led me back to the path of my purpose for being alive.

Along the way I met, listened to, and coached thousands of people who provided me their insights, wisdom, and own discoveries. Sometimes I observed their exploring but often we explored together. I came to see and know that life was intended to be full of joy and richly embraced. Once I began to experience that joy, the fear and frustration disappeared and the guidance within came forward.

This is possible for all of us but two things must happen. First, we have to get out of the way and remove the barriers of thinking, choosing, and especially wandering that prevent our access to the guidance. Second, we have to make choices to enter the portals that open up the guidance to us and lead us on the path to living in joy - to use the gift.
