It is so hard to find our calling in this beautiful life.
It takes so much time and yet for others it is easy and even when they are young, they know exactly what they want to do with their life.
One of my preschool students told me once, he wanted to be a Dr.
I thought that was so cool! I wish that I knew at his age what I wanted to be!!!!
I went to school to train to be a teacher, however, I don't consider myself a great teacher.
The only indication that I am good at teaching is when my students are happy and they let me know. And I still keep letters from students who wrote to me saying that they will never forget me.
It's so weird how we impact people sometimes and at that time is when we should reflect on those who made an impact in our lives. And not get stuck in a bubble where we can't see the truth.....
For example, the fact that someone liked me so much to write me a letter doesn't mean that all other kids thought the same of me....it DOES NOT DEFINE if I am a good teacher because for every one kid that liked me, I am sure there were 10 that didn't.....right?? that's a true possibility.
I feel like when we are thankful to God for all that He has provided for us, things begin to "clear up"...so that's awesome and I want a lot of that! It's a great START to the search of our true calling.
I think that if we try our best, we could be successful in any area of our lives. However, we can't rush things and we can't push things. All of our experiences will help us in the future in ways we can't even imagine.
AND THAT IS PRICELESS!
It's sort of like connecting dots or doing a puzzle....it takes time and focus and we are often distracted. Extremely distracted....
However, distraction is good. We can't just live without relaxing, enjoying our company, our accomplishments, having a cup of tea or coffee, go our to the mall etc...we are social beings and we need breaks.....
we shouldn't feel guilty, we should feel thankful and in be constant action, whether it is writing, praying(for guidance), reflection, conversation, volunteerism, these are some of the ways we can find our true "calling".
I feel like I am on my way to the right calling and it feels so natural and so I am very appreciative to God for this feeling and I hope and pray that He keeps guiding me to the right way.
