Trying to Choose the Cliff

Now the lemmings are following along and jumping off the proverbial cliff.

The big questions are the same as in every good investigative piece of journalism.

Who? What? Where? When? Why?

Who: The Lemmings i.e. a large percentage of the population (myself included) who have been meandering through their day to day lives and just letting life happen one minute at a time.

What: The Flow i.e. the propensity for not questioning life and the choices made in it... just going with the flow.

Where: The Cliff i.e. that place where change is possible, inevitable or avoidable.

When: The Moment i.e. every moment that a person is aware of their life and able to make decisions within it.

Why: The Big Question i.e. that inevitable point at which a person stops and evaluates their life if for only a moment.

Taking all of the basics into account, how does one change the course of life and not run right off the edge of the cliff with everyone else. Or, better yet, how do you decide which cliff to jump off of. How do you choose the right cliff?
