Finding your calling

Find what your good at, and get better at it. Most people don't love their job, its just reality. I think its an entirely new idea to think that a job should be a passion. And I am in healthcare, working on a doctorate. The words 'passion' and 'calling' get thrown around alot. The funny thing is the people who say those words tend to be in it for themselves almost completely. Buzzwords, all empty buzzwords.

You can't look for a job to give you personal fulfillment, that has to come from somewhere else. Maybe doing a good job makes you feel better, or focusing or the parts of the job that you can control and do better. Take pride in yourself and the work that you do, rather than the actual profession.

If all else fails start your own business. It might fail, but at least you will have tired, and you can see if thats really something you want to do. There are lots of businesses out there with low barriers of entry (starting a testing center, finger print place, notary public that also accepts mails like a private ups store etc). Painting, sandblasting cars, a food truck, carpet stretching business. None of these require super special skills, but if you do them honestly and well, you will probably survive.

My point is don't over think it. Find your talent and skills, what talents God has given you, and take those and use them. It seems people feel good about themselves when they feel like they are good at what they do (and when I say people, I really mean men). Don't get to caught up in the wishy washy streams of passion, you could end up bounching from place to place without purpose.

It would be much better to make a list of things that are important to you. What you want out of life, who do you want to spend it with, what kind of story you want to be able to tell your kids about how you rose up. Those questions will probably lead you in a better direction when you combine them with your skills. You get a goal, make a plan, and then carry it out. Its what I am doing right now, and even tho it isn't going completely to plan, I am alright. Just decided what is important to you, and do what you need to achieve it.
