Your calling is going to be awesome! When you figure out what your calling is, it’ll make perfect sense to you. It’ll be just the right fit. And it’s going to be really exciting!
At Simply Great Lives, we define a calling as “the unique way we combine our strengths and passions to impact people’s lives in a way that’s positive, focused, recognizable, and long-lasting.
It’s important that a calling includes all three components:
- strengths
- passions
- meaningful impact
Here’s why:
Passion gives us the drive to keep going
If we use our strengths to make a meaningful impact, but we aren’t passionate about the work, we’ll get burned out.
Using our strengths energizes us
If we are passionate about the work and are making a meaningful impact but aren’t using our strengths, we are going to become drained.
Making a meaningful impact provides ultimate satisfaction
If we are using our strengths for something we’re passionate about but that doesn’t make a meaningful impact, we’ll enjoy the work. However, when we reach the end of our lives, we will not be able to say that we loved people well and that our lives mattered.
Won’t it be great to be motivated, energized and ultimately satisfied in life? That’s what living your calling will do. Like I said, it’s going to be awesome!
