Find Your True Calling

Finding your true calling can be difficult to do. A lot of people end up trying a few different careers before they eventually find the right one. For some, they have more than one true calling that is a combination of areas that they can apply their skill set to. Whether it’s finding the perfect career, creating a business, or volunteering for an important charity, you will know when you’ve found your true calling from these five signs. 

It Aligns with Your Core Values

Your true calling should be an extension of your beliefs and worldview. You work every day to create a version of the world that you imagine because by making it so, you believe that you’ll make the world and better place. This is what your true calling means to you.

It Doesn’t Feel Like Work

Your work is no longer the slow grind that it used to be. Your work should enable you to create the lifestyle you want, which includes your work. The lines between work and fun begin to become blurred as you are continually pursuing your ideal life. 

Your Stress Levels Decrease

To counteract the stress hormones that seem to be prevalent in a majority of people these days, it’s important to match them with a more significant amount of happy hormones. Working on something you love will naturally lower the cortisol and other stress hormones. When you find your true life’s calling you will start to notice an increase in your energy levels and an overall improvement in your well-being.  

You Have Better Balance in Your Life

One of the hardest things for people to accomplish is balance in life. Too many people live their lives trying to keep one step ahead of their commitments and mounting bills. When you’ve found your true calling, your work gives you the opportunity to work, live, and have fun. The lines between each overlap and you find it hard to tell the difference between them. 

Many people struggle to identify what it is that they are meant to do and struggle to decide on the path they should take. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and think about what you love to do and identify the career paths that come with it. 

Additional signs that you may have found your calling:

• Your actions match your plans. When you define your big plans you also make the small, preceding plans that you know will get you there.
• You reach a state of flow and you will lose yourself for hours to what you are doing. You are creating your masterpiece and things seem to be falling in place.
• Nothing can stop you. You’re fully motivated to stay on your path and side-step all recommendations to do otherwise.
• You know you’re on to something and nothing can convince you otherwise. Whatever you are doing, you know it has huge potential and NOTHING or NO ONE can stop you from reaching your desired goals.
• You have a joy that surpasses understanding. Doing what you do give you a contentment that cannot be described, adds value to the world and is useful to others. If this was your life until you left this earth, you would be satisfied knowing that you gave your all, did what you were supposed to do and fulfilled your purpose.

Finding your true calling unlocks a whole new level of passion and purpose in your life but you must be ready to take the first step and purposefully seek out your calling and put goals in place that align with this purpose!
