Calling
I've always admired the ones who knew exactly what they want to do in life from an early age.
I've asked myself over and over again "what do you want to do in life?"
Over and over again I got not much of an answer.
Everyday it seems like I get up, I go to work, I come home, I sleep.
I can't help but think, Life Has Got to be More than That!!!
I would be happy if on waking up every morning I look forward with anticipating with the tasks laying ahead.
I would be happy knowing the things I do everyday helps people to be happier.
I would be happy when I reflect on the life I had before I die knowing I'm pleased with what I have done during this lifetime.
I would be happy if the strong yearning I hold comes true, one day.
And so far, at the rate I'm going, I'm unlikely to achieve any of that. (Gosh that's some deep stuff I'm thinking.. hmm... what has gotten into me!!)
I hear that 30s are much better than 20s because in our 30s we've figured out what we want in life, we become more grounded. In our 20s, we merely race through life experimenting, exploring ourselves and finding out where we fit in.
And I was hoping that as I approach my big 3 O there would be this magical moment when everything suddenly becomes crystal clear. (wishful thinking huh?) Even though I was thinking such thought, I didn't really expect anything magical to happen as such.
Little did I know that I would really truly find my calling (WOW....and why would I be surprised anyway? I think life so far has treated me with blessings after blessings...)
I think I found where I want to take life beyond my 30s, more specifically what career path I want to take.
Rather than calling it a career or a job, I want it to be my life and defining who I am. And I think I've just found that.
But I can see some riddles I need to get through before I commence on that paths.
And when the riddles sort themselves out (knowing they will), I can write more on what this magical calling is... ...
