On Friday, I talked about how if we are going to fear anything, it should be the idea of being in the exact same place as you are today. In our busy world, with all of its constant distractions, it is easy to lose sight of what we have been called to do. It’s easy to stay stuck where we are as the years pass. Many of us settle into traditional jobs because that is what we are “supposed to do”. We forget about what we truly want and go with what we think will be the most stable path.
If you are having trouble knowing what you have been called to do, ask yourself these questions:
- What did you love doing as a child?
- What are your happiest memories growing up?
- What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
- What makes you forget to eat?
- What are you willing to stand up for?
- What are you willing to struggle for?
- What makes you forget about the world around you?
- What thoughts provoke strong emotions in your heart?
- What kinds of conversations do you have with the people closest to you?
- What do you feel passionate about?
- If you didn’t have to work a regular job, what would you do with your time?
- What’s on your bucket list?
- If you knew you only had one year to live, what would you do?
- How do you want to be remembered?
Sometimes the reason why we feel unsettled in the present is because we know we are meant to do more. Perhaps our soul is unsettled because somebody, somewhere is depending on us to do what we have been called to do.
What have you been called to do? Are you living that life today?
