Have You Found Your Calling?

Some days I think that I have found my calling, but then reality strikes and I get so frustated and I can not possible think that this is what I was meant to do. Do you ever feel like this? Could this be my calling?

I feel like nursing is my calling, but I can't do it now. I have to get my anxiety and bi polar under control first. I think working with elderly folks has to be the most rewarding feeling that I have felt.

yes veryone at one point or thr other gets to a point when reality dawns on them but finding your calling is an inner thing and you really need to sit down and evaluate things well that is when you can get through your inner calling,when you find it you will never be confused as to what you need to do evn when its tough you fing strenght to go on

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate it. Yeah, I definately think that the calling is a personal thing and transcends making money.

a man"s calling is noty just about making money it transcends that ,in fact it about finding that inner fulfillment that gives you inner peace even when the money has not started rolling in.that is what finding your calling is all about,i could say its a spiritual thing.

I think sitting in my chair and making money from home is my calling! I also think that working with my mind.. to come up with great ideas to make money is my calling. I used to think my calling was to be batman! But I was wrong. Well talk to you later.. have a good night.

Many days I felt that I found something that could be my passion,my future career,or something extraordinary.It strook me alot.Computer programming was not for me,I couldn't stand in front of the computer so so many hours just to write some codes that make up a software,or a game to keep people addicted to them.So do I really need to spend my life creating websites was my next question? I tried translating since I know Romanian,but it still wasn't my true thing,managed to get an interest in electronics,but what hit me was the amount of math and other hard stuff that I wouldn't even consider. Deep down in my heart I wanted something to keep me connected to nature than technology,this is a one hundred percent fact.Right now I am considering ecology or something similar to allow me to enter the misteries of nature.It is frustrating,I don't know why we must feel so confused,anyway right now I hope to finally make up my mind.What's your calling?

A little while ago I had a flash of insight which led me to be under the assumption that my call in life is to be a mother and share that experience with others. Most days I feel I am thriving and loving every moment however I do admit there are times I wonder if I am really following the right path. Sometimes we need to have self doubt to help us regain focus and direction. Trust in your instincts and you will soon find the truth and the answers you seek. You didn't mention exactly what you believe your calling to be. I was wondering if you were referring to being a fantastic myLotter? If you were I think that is a great calling! :)
