What is my calling?

A vocation is a beloved and socially valued work in which a person is a professional. A vocation is what a person is called to. This is an inclination and inner attraction to some business or profession, justified by the presence of the necessary abilities for the business.

Work and vocation

If you have few resources, you will only have work. The right to a vocation must be earned. It’s not for everyone, it’s expensive.

What you need to have or be able to find a calling

• Well-developed universal skills: the basis for professionalism — goal-setting, planning, maintaining vigor and high energy, a positive worldview, easy learning, etc.
• Cheerful, lively and collected body.

If a person is lethargic, his eyes are sleepy, dead, his gestures are lowered, then any vocation is closed to him for the time being. Such a body blocks any calling. The vocation is the soul, but if a person has the wrong body, the soul will be blocked by the body↑.

• Rich desires: I want a lot!

A lively and vigorous person has energetic, developed desires. He wants a lot, he has something to wake up for every day, and he does not just work out what others expect from him, he does what he wants. He wants. He dares to want. And how much, how much do you want?↑

• The ability and habit to bring one’s abilities to the level of «Excellent», to the level of mastery.

Appeal: “I don’t know what business I should do in life. I’m not drawn to anything … ”- quite typical. Over time, I discovered a surprising pattern: as a rule, people who are not very good at doing anything come up with this ↑.

• Caring, focusing on people — this is a calling that many people need, in which there is meaning. When your calling is dear to you, you do something not only because it is personally interesting to you, but you care about what people need.

When Sherlock Holmes plays his favorite violin, he is doing his favorite thing. But while he plays only for himself, this is his hobby, but not his vocation.
