The path to finding one’s calling is not a straight line – like life, it goes round and comes around. It takes being curious, reflective, and patient.
· Follow your curiosity, there’s lots of information to search, and everything to know.
· Take time to process the things you learn, course corrections included.
· Patience is a virtue – finding what’s right takes time.
You’ll know your ‘calling’ when you see it – it can be an obvious choice or an ‘a-ha’ moment. Either way, it’s got to feel right to fully be right. You don’t have to go on this journey alone – lots of formal and informal schools and libraries exist and are only a click away. Real live people are all around too – ask around for the kinds of people you need – friends, professionals, a robust network; find coaches and mentors to help you discover the answers you need. And know yourself – what you like, and don’t, should be used as guideposts. But whatever it is, get really into it and let that passion show through in what you do. And keep your eyes and ears open for detours, updates, and life – buckle up for the journey. The chaos of real time makes it hard to see things in perspective – but in hindsight, there usually appears to be some real method to the madness. Be passionate in your approach to your calling today.
