&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;Aren't we all living on the edge of something these days?&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it's financial hardship or relationship meltdown, if we choose to look at situations in such a light.&amp;nbsp; But really, we are all living on the edge of greatness, poised on a precipice of excitement and change.&amp;nbsp; If we open our eyes to that which is not readily seen, this point becomes clear.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;The Universe (your Higher Power, God, your Soul, please call it what you will) is challenging you to step back and take an objective look at your life as it is right now.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;nbsp;needs to change?&amp;nbsp; What do you love?&amp;nbsp; Where do you feel off track and where do you feel you are&amp;nbsp;in tune with the rhythms the Universe wants to play in your life?&amp;nbsp; Folks, this is easy!&amp;nbsp; If we are following our self designated path (trust me, we have chosen every circumstances we have encountered somewhere along the line, but more on that in a bit) we feel&amp;nbsp;happy, content, full of hope.&amp;nbsp; If we are off that road we are the&amp;nbsp;opposite of satisfied and we are&amp;nbsp;making ourselves physically and emotionally ill in the process.&amp;nbsp; So how do we get these less than gratifying (or downright hellish) areas of our life to a point of reckless and wanton joy?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;Well, first off, we gotta learn the lessons we agreed to be confronted with in this lifetime.&amp;nbsp; We come into every&amp;nbsp;life with a script/contract (ok, so the French are right&amp;nbsp;in saying&amp;nbsp;'live life like it's a movie') that we have written.&amp;nbsp; It states in basic form what we are going to learn this time around and from whom.&amp;nbsp; We certainly have the Free Will to completely and utterly ignore everything in that contract if we want!&amp;nbsp; We do it all the time and it often results in mild to moderate to volcanic catastrophe.&amp;nbsp; Look at your lifetime in its entirety and you will see what I'm saying!&amp;nbsp; The most efficient way to learn your lessons is to identify recurring patterns in your life and break them.&amp;nbsp; This shows the Universe that 'Hey!&amp;nbsp; I'm getting this!&amp;nbsp; I wanna be happy!&amp;nbsp; I want something different than just the same old s**t over and over!'&amp;nbsp; Yes, you CAN cuss to the Universe, you will not be smited and it shows your sense of humor in the face of desparation!&amp;nbsp; Even if you take that first step on the path to&amp;nbsp;a change of old 'habits'&amp;nbsp;the Universe will reward that in kind.&amp;nbsp; Try it, you may be surprised!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;We also must be diligent&amp;nbsp;in spotting guidance the Universe is attempting to throw our way and acting on it.&amp;nbsp; Information on how to do that can be found &lt;a href="http://theshadowedrealm.tripod.com/blog/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;So once we have broken old patterns and have begun following guidance from Spirit we are&amp;nbsp;bound for change.&amp;nbsp; Not just minor adjustments, my friends, I mean TRANSFORMATION!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How exciting is that?&amp;nbsp; The better question: how much do you want it?&amp;nbsp; More than I could possibly know?&amp;nbsp; Then what are you waiting for, huh???? Get on it!!!&amp;nbsp; Your life is waiting...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=4&gt;Many Blessing!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
