Once we discover our purpose we then have to make a commitment to pursue that purpose. Often we discover that our lifestyles will be altered once that commitment is made. Perhaps we have to live with less. We are then challenged to redefine our basic needs verses wants. 
Everyone has a weakness.
As we grow into a more spiritual means of living it changes our outlooks and perspectives. What we once did not recognize or were aware of in our conscious every day life, we begin to pay attention to. We begin looking at the fine lines and intricate details of our activities and the people and places involved. We begin to look at ourselves more closely instead of just skimming over the surface.
When we make major life changes we tend to forget that there is a period of time when we need to allow ourselves to grieve.
There is a time for silence and stillness that stumbles upon our awakened state of being. It is at this time we may lurk in the background and move slowly with the wind that carries us. It is through this stillness that we hear ourselves. It is through this silence that we are able to act on our own discretion and recline in our own comfort of both our physical and spiritual existence.
We often make excuses for our behaviors as if someone else was responsible for the choices we ourselves made.
