To be able to live our best, we must find our calling in life … but… questions we may have are around... How can I find my calling? How will I recognize what it is?
You will recognize your calling by the way it resonates with you starting deep down in your soul.
It will fit you perfectly and you will wear it well and feel intense satisfaction in what you do. So listen to your inner voice and allow it to guide you. You will find the truth about yourself – both the good and the not so good. Embrace who and what you are and grow - in doing so you make yourself a better person and put yourself on track to live your best life.
When we find our calling, we find not only the joy that every human being seeks but also our path to intense satisfaction in being and doing what we were born to do.
Not everyone is meant to have the same calling. The world's deepest needs are met daily not only by caring counselors, doctors and patient teachers but by good parents, kind neighbors and true friends.
I think of our life's calling not simply as a goal to achieve but rather as a gift yet to be received and the unveiling of the true person each and every one of us were born to be.
