How To Know What Is My Calling

By Kimberly Richardson


In life, many people do not know what they are meant to do because of all the obstacles in the way. No doubt everyone has their own purpose in life but not everybody has really found out about that yet. So for those who are asking the question what is my calling, here are a few ways to know just that.

When one would want to find his true purpose in life, the first thing to do is to accept the present and learn from the past. The past is something that many people hold dear because it either represents something really good or really bad that they cannot let go of. However, holding on to the past only brings pain so the best thing to do is to let go of it so that one can look to the future.

During this stage, one should never be afraid to try out many different things. Most of the time, ones true vocation is not the path that he or she is currently walking on. If one really wants to try to find his or her vocation, then he or she should be open to trying out as many new things as possible. When he finds the right path, he or she will just feel it and gravitate toward it.

When one opens his or her horizons to new things, then he or she will also meet new people. Meeting new people is not just about having small talk or gaining new connections but it is rather about learning new lessons and gaining new insights. These insights can allow one to know how to better find out what he or she wants out of life.

Now if one has found a few activities that he or she enjoys and may think about making one a true vocation, then he or she has to have a why. The why is basically the reason he or she feels strongly about the activity in the first place. If the driving force is not strong enough, then it cannot be a vocation.

Likewise, a vocation must also be feasible. People who often dream about taking a certain path often get disappointed when they find out that the path they wanted is not feasible to do. So before a person chooses and solidifies a certain path, one must make sure that the path is first feasible and possible to achieve.

The last thing to do is to remember that ones vocation is not just limited to one. In fact, one can actually have more than one vocations. It is just a matter of choosing which one to start with and which one to put more concentration and effort on.

For one to find his or her path, he or she has to make sure he or she steps out of the comfort zone. Often times, true vocation starts outside of the four corners of the safe haven. As long as one is willing to go through all of that pain and hardship, then he or she will definitely find out his or her true purpose.
