Listening and allowing to find meaning in your work
I believe that each of us is called to do our work in the world. That could be building a business, making art, writing stories, caring for a loved one, launching a non-profit or creating a sacred sanctuary of calm or any other worthy pursuit.
Note - this is not necessarily the same thing as the thing you may do for income, although it may be. And it is not necessarily static. We all grow and change in unique ways.
But every worthy thing that we create in this way starts with a calling.
Your calling is divinely unique and can only be heard by you, by your soul. It may look like something you expect. Or, as is more often the case, like something entirely unexpected.
Something unheard of or even brash. Something surely unconventional.
Your job is first to listen. To train your ear—and your heart—to recognize where your yearning lies.
Then, it’s to allow. To allow that longing to fill you, to orient you.
Your job is not to question why—not to judge, not to compare or analyze—but simply to listen, and, in the end, respond with a yes.
