text: what is the best way to find your path in life and how do you get back on it if you feel like you've left it? lately i feel like i have been going in the wrong direction and i am not sure which way to go. i recently read that if you are feeling depressed then part of it could be that you are not following your path and need to get back on it. my problem is that i have never really known my path and now would like to find it so that i can get on with what i am supposed to be doing while i am here this time. not sure why i ran across your question, but it's a good one. for a clear path, we all need a dream and a vision.   are you a christian? definitely pray. seek and you will find. he will give you the desires of your heart.   basics for tonight and tomorrow . . . matthew, mark, luke and john. also, find a non-denominational bible-based community church. go tomorrow. god will meet you there.  i really loved "your best life now" by joel osteen. this book offers a lot of hope and gives a thinking outside of the box perspective.  a great book for purpose and path . . . "the purpose-driven life" by rick warren. he guides and gives perspective in this book. remember, it's not about you. it's about what you can give. (take care of yourself, though!)  i heard bruce wilkinson speak last year . . . he had a book called the dream giver. he also wrote the prayer of jabez. he can motivate anyone to find their dream. it's inside you already.  i heard matthew barnett speak last month about how he started the dream center in l.a. to help people of all kinds turn their lives around. he said once you start serving, you won't want to be served again.  another great teacher on vision and leadership is john maxwell. he has books on leadership that include "vision casting" and building a team. check out www.injoy.com  you are on the right path if you are seeking your path! god bless you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.
