Are you having problems finding your life calling? Well, you are not alone with many people stressing out on finding that one silver arrow pointing to meaning and purpose in life. As a young person, you are in a very different place than later in life. But you are confronted with the major decision on whether to take out a massive student loan to train for a particular career path. Finally, you follow through with the predominant view of family and peer groups. Many years later you find yourself in a very unhappy place, realizing that all those years you had placed the ladder against the wrong wall. Are you flying or scratching with the chickens? Friends and family are sometimes the worst people to ask when it comes to pursuing your dreams and passions. The reason is that they don't want a member of the tribe to change so much that they decide to leave and seek a new tribe that is a better fit for new ideas, philosophies, and visions. Instead of learning to fly and soar with the eagles, you remain on the ground scratching with the chickens, living out a life of quiet misery because all the time there is that inner voice calling on you to plant that seed destined to make you grow into who you are really meant to be. It is sometimes necessary to leave a relationship that has long outlived its purpose, an unfulfilling but well-paid job, or even the country you are living in when it comes to living your destiny. Our biggest fear is often the fear that the future might turn out worse than the current situation, so you settle for the status quo because you feel safe there. Life is not a trajectory of predictability The journey of life seldom takes you on a trajectory of predictability. The ship you are sailing on sometimes has to change course because a hurricane is coming your way.
