A calling:
1. Gives us joy
2. Energizes us to take action
3. Makes us feel significant
4. Is not a burden
5. Impacts others
6. Comes naturally
The people who are close to you and know you well can see your greatness. They point out your strengths and talents over and over again. Some parents choose to expose their children to many nurturing experiences which results in elevating the child’s interest in a specific area. Once the interest has peaked and the child builds confidence in that area, a flame is lit. Is it possible that you have not yet had the opportunity to cultivate a strength or talent? Do you want to raise your level of play in the game of life? Spend more time alone to think about your calling and possible untapped potential. Evaluate yourself and raise the fill line of your current level of awareness. The only thing that can stop you from discovering and acting on your calling is you.
Great people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the where, the what. -Percy Wells Cerutty
My dream career has always been a nba basketball player. But because of my height and lack of film I was never really given a chance in college. I mean I’m pretty smart too but engineering has always been a back up plan. I still work out and give my all in it I just want a chance to prove myself and the confidence to do it exceptionally every time
Hello Pierre,
A key phrase in your comment is “to do it exceptionally every time”. Guess what Pierre? That is discipline, and if you are giving your best, that is all we can ask of you. Remember this, whatever your best is today will be better tomorrow! It’s no doubt you have multiple talents.
Find your passion, stay with it and do your best!
