[Daily OM]: Our lives are made up of a complex 
network of pathways that we can use to move from one phase of life to 
the next. For some of us, our paths are wide, smooth, and clearly 
marked. Many people, however, find that they have a difficult time 
figuring out where they need to go next. Determining which "next step" 
will land you on the most direct route to fulfillment and the 
realization of your life purpose may not seem easy.
There are many ways to discover what the next step on your life path 
should be. If you are someone who seeks to satisfy your soul, it is 
vital that you make this inquiry. Often, your inner voice will counsel 
you that it's time for a change, and it is very important to trust 
yourself because only you know what is best for you. Personal growth 
always results when you let yourself expand beyond the farthest borders 
of what your life has been so far. When figuring out what your next step
 will be, you may want to review your life experiences. The choices 
you've made and the dreams you've held onto can give you an idea of what
 you don't want to do anymore and what you might like to do next. It is 
also a good idea to think about creative ways you can use your skills 
and satisfy your passions. Visualizing your perfect future and making a 
list of ways to manifest that future can help you choose a logical next 
step that's in harmony with your desires. Meditation, journal writing, 
taking a class, and other creative activities may inspire you and 
provide insight regarding the next step in life that will bring you the 
most satisfaction.
It is when you are willing to listen to yourself and be fearless that 
figuring out your next step becomes easy. Beneath the fear and 
hesitation and uncertainty lies your inner knowing that always knows 
which step you need to take next. If you can allow the taking of your 
next step to be as easy as putting one foot in front of the next, you'll
 notice that your next step is always the one that is right in front of 
you. All you have to do is put one foot forward and on the ground.
