Calling

     Some people believe they have a calling from God, usually referring to a religious vocation or a profession that is aligned with God's will.  Some feel called by patriotism to serve their country in the military or in politics. Others have faith in their own inner voice that leads them to choose an occupation or a position within society.
     Many people never hear a call from above or from anywhere else.  They do their best to find a way to develop their talents and skills in order to support themselves and their families.  Most people would like to enjoy what they do and get a sense of fulfillment from their efforts.  Unfortunately,  many people find themselves just working to make ends meet at low paying jobs, or worse yet, are unemployed.
     Young people need to discover their talents and strengths, their likes and dislikes, before they take on the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood.  They should get a good idea of what occupations are in demand so that when they finish their education and training, they will be able to find employment.
     We all need to listen to our call to contribute our talents and labors and find a satisfying way to support ourselves.  We may feel a calling that leads us toward our destiny, or we may just have to listen closely to our own voice and follow our dreams.
