Thoughts on Finding One’s Calling at about a square peg in a round hole

Thoughts on Finding One’s Calling

Published by square May 18th, 2006 in Rants

I’ve been thinking about the concept of a calling.

Such a concept would only exist in an orderly universe and I believe this universe is one such place. In my view, the purpose of life is to progress, evolve, and grow to fulfillment. If one’s activity meshes with that purpose then one’s growth to fulfillment is accelerated.

A calling is not merely a profession or job. That is too superficial a definition. A calling must embody a higher purpose. It must involve service. It is the avenue through which one makes the greatest contribution to everyone else.

As a result, a calling affords an individual the greatest possible growth, success, and happiness.

I believe each of us has a calling and we are all endowed with the necessary talent, creativity, intelligence, and insight to find it and to fulfill it.

Tragically most people don’t even believe they have a calling in life. Instead, most everyone “works for a living,” which really means most everyone “suffers to survive.” People have created an unhappy, unhealthy, and unsuccessful world for themselves. And then they turn around and teach the younger generation this same fruitless pattern of behavior, claiming hard work is a virtue, as if there is some great benefit to suffering.

The solution to finding your calling isn’t complex. It is contained in the answer to this question: What do you give, the giving of which fills you with great happiness?

What could be easier? Give what makes you happy to give. That way both you and everyone else receive the maximum.

Why don’t more people think like this?

People happen on this subject of ‘calling’ at different ages. it is always great to see awareness of it at a young age.

Some thoughts on this subject:

- what is one’s talent, what is one best at doing, and love doing?

- use that talent, use that love of doing, that ‘thing’, for a good.

That’s one’s calling.
