The Calling

Have you found your calling yet?

About 75% of the people are working in a job and it is just that, a job, going through the daily motions to and from the grind.

About 23% of the people are working and engaged in building a career.

The remaining 2% of the working souls are deliberately working on their calling and they absolutely love what they do and who they are; so much so they would work for free.

Which category are you in? Are you fulfilling your calling, stuck in the gerbil wheel, or in the middle chasing a career?

How can you tell if you are working in your calling?

What does it feel like doing what you love to do?

Here are 7 things to help you find your calling:

1.      The work you do fulfills your purpose in life, doing what you were born to do and being who you were born to be.

2.      The work you do is part of your mission, playing a role that uniquely fits your talents and abilities. You do things you are uniquely qualified for.

3.      The work you do feels like play to you, energizing instead of draining you.

4.      You are in full control of all that you do and you feel responsible, accountable, and productive.

5.      You feel like you “get to do” what you do instead of “having to do” what you do, allowing you to be who you are.

6.      You are working on your dreams, not someone else’s dream.

7.      You feel you can be your authentic self around the people you love, admire, and respect.

When you do what you love to do, you become a master at it, being who you were born to be, and the world rewards you handsomely.

Was this helpful to you? I would love to hear from you.

Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
