Career or Calling?
I have experienced redundancy twice in my lifetime. Thirty years ago, a younger version of me saw it as carpe diem! An opportunity to move up another rung of the corporate ladder of success! Fast forward to my second rodeo...an enlightened, more mature me, armed with over twenty years of HR Management experience and knowledge.The question loomed - What next...Career or Calling?
Hmmm, let’s see…
Career I carve out
Calling I ALIGN with
PURPOSE...
Career advances me
Calling advances OTHERS
SIGNIFICANCE...
Career = must do
Calling = WANT to do
PASSION...
Career builds Resume
Calling leaves LEGACY
IMPACT...
Career ends
Calling is for LIFE
AGELESS...
A metacosm of timing and calling, plus the assurance from my favorite book that my gifts will make room for me, have helped me shift from career to calling. It’s a question we must all answer at some point - Career or Calling?
