Ever wondered if you missed your calling?

I wonder about this a lot. Are you a person whose life and whose dreams are one and the same? Do you think you have missed a few chances to pursue a dream when you were younger and now regret not capitalizing on them? If you're absolutely certain about your calling, do you think that eventually you will heed that call, regardless of where you are?

Well I had my call, and I know exactly what is my mission in life... but I can do it in my own way! So there always little calls... watch out!

I feel that I am the sum total of unfullfilled dreams. Nothing that I have desired earnestly have come to fruition . It brings in quite a lot of frustration . Yet I live on with fresh hopes and ambitions to cherish and follow.

I used to think that way but after I moved in on my own, it feels like I never did miss anything at all. Every is just the same as always.

you never miss your calling, you just get sidetracked sometimes. But there is always a chance to change things, to move them around and get to where you want to, regardless of circumstance or situation

I use to believe that I could have possibly missed my calling, but I don't anymore. If it is God's will for something to happen in our lives, nothing we do or anyone else does is going to stop it from happening. God decided what we were going to do and be before the foudation of the world. The Bible says that we were predestined to be conformed. So I pray as the Lord has instructed us to. That his will and not our will be done. When you surrender your life over to God in this way, it takes a lot of the guessing out of life. God is still and always will be in control. Don't worry about missing anything that was suppose to happen in your life. If it is suppose to, it will.

I really did at one time think there was something missing in my life. I was a professional musician and whilst I loved music, working in the world of night-clubs and glitter didn't seem very fulfilling at all. I was always interested in spiritual discipline - whether it was the Beatles getting involved in TM back in the 60s or not I don't know. But when the bottom dropped out of the music business in the UK, I re-trained in psychotherapy and through that got involved with Zen and now I really feel I have found my "path" in life. :-)
