We fail ourselves, Our calling and God

It is so easy to fail God, ourselves and our calling.

It is very difficult to keep the first commandment.  However it is not impossible

"We ought to give ourselves up to God with regard both to things temporal and spiritual and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling of His will. Whether God led us by suffering or by consolation all would be equal to a soul truly resigned."
To achieve this all that is needed is
 "...one hearty renunciation of everything which we are sensible does not lead to God. We might accustom ourselves to a continual conversation with Him with freedom and in simplicity."
Brother Lawrence
Renounce the things of the world
Focus of things divine
Continual and costantly pray, talk with God.
Listen to God
Focus on achieving God's will, NOT your will
