You can be guided moment by moment by moment.  Set the intention to connect in awareness with higher consciousness and to hear the voice of spirit, be this your higher self or the voice of the Highest Self, which at another level are one and the same.  Slow down enough to check in, check in, check in, check in.  This keeps ego from running off and doing things that are counter to the soul’s evolution.  Do this, the frequent checking in with the soul, and you will find your life flowing far more peacefully.
