The Real Calling

What is your real calling?? What is your passion? Are you doing what you always wanted to do? Have you explored your potential? Are you listening to your inner voice? Are you into the right job?? Do you feel trapped in your job?? What should you really be doing??

My one honest reply to all the above questions is a big, fat NO. I don't know.

And that' perfectly fine. I have been through that phase of introspection and overthinking. And I didnt hear any inner voice. I don't enjoy my job and I do want an escape from it. But that doesn't require me to quit it to seek enjoyment in my otherwise boring life. I read somewhere that "Be careful of what you wish for, not just because you might get it, but because in the wishing you may reinforce its absence in your life."

 When we wish for an alternate life we don't contemplate the thought of that life becoming a routine and its impact on us then.That mundane experience might me more distressing that the current we are having. So a better remedy is to RELAX. Continue with the life you are having, take the spare time it offers and do what you most like at that very moment. It might be a book today, a camera tomorrow, a paint brush day after or a bike ride someday... a small trip a few months later.... a vacation when you can afford.. just go with the flow and enjoy the tiny pieces of happiness life offers. At the end of the day its only these few moments we cherish and the hours we slog are just the price required to be paid for those "few moments".
