In order to correct a problem or change a set of circumstances, one must first identify the current situation. That part was easy for me. I had all sorts of adjectives to describe my present state. It was very simple for me to communicate all the things that were going wrong, and things that I didn’t want in my life.
In working with Emmanuel, my guide at Life Can be Different, I was attempting to uncover my life’s meaning, or purpose.
