Tap into the source of your higher purpose in all the practical moments that make up your day. For example, try a momentary prayer or affirmation as a way of intentionally seeking a better pathway that you might not be consciously aware of.

Here's a true story: One of the ANE members was telling me about starting up 2011, and how she got depressed by needing to make so many phone calls. "I stopped myself and kept repeating a phrase from one of the ANE prayers....show me the pathways....and then I waited until someone's face came into my mind. Then I called that person. The conversations were so productive. One conversation seemed to build on another. What started as a week of wondering about my career ended up with me looking very optimistically at the year ahead. I simply trusted the source."

That's the ANE leader's way. Whenever we tap into the source we find our calm, confident, connected selves, and from there things just get so much better. It's how we grow into a life of fuller expression.
