Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.
What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.
Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)
"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)
"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)
"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)
"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

When you start living out of the new creation nature you will discover that your desires and God's purpose for your life are intertwined together.
To live the good life God has for you, you must have an aggressive go-for-it faith - the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.
A passive faith will never lay hold of the good things of God. Faith doesn't just give you the courage to stay stuck where you are and be happy about it.
Faith sees the invisible, does the impossible, and makes dreams come true. Faith has no limits. It is faith that connects man with the omnipotence of God.
Christ gave you the gift of faith when you received Him. You must hear the Word of God. The best way to hear it is to say it out loud as you go throughout the day. Also, meditate on it and visualize yourself in the Word. It is Christ's faith in you, not your own faith, that you take up and use.
