You know that moment when the light comes on... you've somehow figured out what the devine plan for your life is. Your purpose for existence, etc.

You have to stay flexible. I'm 41 and I have lived in eight different states and had about 20 different jobs. The only really fixed thing I believe you should have is your family. Your career should be goal driven, but if you think that you can plan out the exact path, you are not going to get there, at least not very fast. If you would have asked me ten years ago what I would be doing now, you would have gotten a vastly different answer. And I would have told you that I would be a lot less well off than I am.
So I guess that my only plan is where I want to end up. The how you get there is going to depend on what opportunities come along and how you take advantage of them.

Great q? btw. It was about a year and a half ago. I was crushed by another love gone bad for the last time and I realized that there was nothing left in me to give romantically and I was not and still am not willing to fulfill my call of duty to the greater good without a love interest so at that moment I understood that the best and most reasonable solution was to drink myself to death. I obviously have not yet succeeded but I imagine that is the higher power's way of repaying me for my dereliction of duty so I can't complain too nuch about that part. I think if God were in my shoes He'd understand, but my life has been built around misunderstanding so I am not surprised at His lack of compassion.

I never saw a "divine plan" for my life considering my mind was questioning the whole religious doctrine thing from the time I was at kindergarten level catechism in church. So there was no "lights on" moment. Every moment of my life is a moment ripe for lights to come on or a flash of enlightenment, if you will. I realized from childhood that I knew that my life's JOURNEY would be one that's more spiritual in nature than most people's but I questioned the whole creator god thing early in life.

I have revelations everyday. this year was a gradual learning of Christ and then ultimately giving my life to HIm. After that everything else just kept falling into place. everyday I'd figure something else out. over the last month I've felt a calling to go to boston. So, after I get my AA within the next year, to Boston I go.

I was at St Nectan's Glen in North Cornwall, England, a very spiritual site.
I was also taught a lesson by Elk - I follow druidry. Elk/Moose helped me relearn the core of who I was.

When I figured out that there is no god and that I'm free to choose my own destiny, I began working on that plan. When I'm living out on my own, then I'll be done working on the rough draft. When I'm dead I'll be finished with the final copy.

1986, when the Lord Jesus lifted me up and out of the slime pit of a sinful life. Put me on a sure foundation, and set the new path before me.
