Change--The Path to Purpose

The past few years have included more change than I ever thought possible. I changed my job, my address, my relationship status, my website, my doctor, and even my favorite color. Through it all, I have questioned each of these transitions. Are these changes part of my path to purpose? If so, WHERE exactly am I going? WHEN will I get there? WHY don't I have all of the answers yet?
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step."
And Henry David Thoreau said, "We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark to our success."
So perhaps the biggest change this past year has been a result of all of the others--my change in faith. Without knowing any of the answers, my one constant has been a blind faith that I AM on the right path. My hope for you is the same -- that the step you are taking now will bring you one step closer to your path of purpose and that faith will be part of your journey.
