Do you feel you would be more satisfied doing something else?
Are you beating yourself daily doing what you don't like just to get a paycheck?
These questions, among others, go through millions of people's minds every day, yet they do nothing about it.
I recently saw a political campaign sign that immediately caught my attention. It did not mention what the candidate can do for its constituents, nor did it mention anything about the opponent.
What did it say?
The person was running for County Coroner of all things. The sign, of course, had the candidate's name and the office for which they were running and just below it said,
NOT JUST A CAREER; BUT A CALLING
Imagine that - a calling.
Once you begin to function in your calling - or at least identify it - you can begin to address those leading questions at the top of this post.
Your calling comes from God and no, it does not mean you have to be a preacher or pastor. It is written, the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few. The fields to be harvested are the workplaces and the marketplaces of which you should be operating in your vocation - or calling.
So if the questions above resonate with you, then you are not yet operating in your calling. Only when you can say, "that's not me" can you say "I'm not just in a career; but a calling." What exactly is a calling? Stay tuned.
