Great article. Wise words. I think we are called to become the people we want to be, like a magnet tugging us towards our passions. It doesn't happen immediately, but slowly. I am hopeful.

Exactly! And if you find yourself with the feeling that this is what you need, not even giving up if it goes wrong, it's so good...

This is so beautifully expressed. 💛 I love how you described vocation as something deeper than work more like the core of who you are.

Thank you for sharing this reflection. It’s such a good reminder to stay connected to what truly matters.

From my point of view, finding out what our calling is often happens step by step. At least on myself: I came towards a parting of the ways several times in my life, to then getting some intuitive impulses off my way at a time when I wasn’t doing anything or just inspired my my work. It’s never been about putting all of one’s eggs into one basket. Rather about tasting one egg of another to see if it’s good.

But you didn't give up on your calling, did you? Because there are people who postpone doing what they love their entire lives. In the end, each reality somewhat decides their future

I was thinking about learning to develop software when at work one day I thought I would love to have a tool for that mundane task I’m in. Two years later, when I was unemployed, I took the chance. Read my post on that if you like to know more! https://open.substack.com/pub/danielagrothe/p/coding-as-my-mission
