For a long time, a career was what you went for. Not anymore. In their search for happiness, more and more people find out that pursuing your calling is much more rewarding. 

The idea of a “calling” goes back a long way. Initially, it was mostly used to describe a religious experience or a supernatural force that was hard to ignore and made you do something.

But, a calling is also something much more mundane and natural. It's this intuitive feeling of being drawn to something. Your gut telling you what's the right thing to do. Your heart longing to make a difference in your own unique way.

What a calling is, can perhaps best be understood by comparing it one to one with a career. As illustrated in the picture, there's at seven significant differences.

It’s not always easy to define or formulate what your calling is. It may take time before you find out. Sitting down, thinking a lot and trying to formulate it doesn't work. You can't really force defining it.

Instead, it comes to you when you open your mind and heart and follow your intuitive drive to do one thing and avoid another. This means that, in the end, pursuing your calling is not at all complicated to do. “Just” be open and go where you’re drawn.

As I can tell from my own experience, this is much more rewarding than aspiring for a career. Rather than trying to move up, a calling helps you move forward in a direction where you feel better, by making a difference to others.

Are you (still) going for a career or (already) for a calling?

你(仍然)在追求职业还是(已经)想要获得召唤?

在很长一段时间里,职业是你所追求的。不会了。在他们寻求幸福的过程中,越来越多的人发现追求你的呼召更有价值。

“召唤”的概念可以追溯到很久以前。最初,它主要用于描述一种宗教经历或一种难以忽视的超自然力量,并让你做某事。

但是,呼召也是更平凡和自然的事情。这是一种被某物吸引的直觉。你的直觉告诉你什么是正确的做法。你的心渴望以自己独特的方式有所作为。

什么是召唤,也许最好通过将其与职业进行比较来理解。如图所示,有七个显着差异。

定义或表述你的呼召并不总是那么容易。您可能需要一些时间才能发现。坐下来,想很多,试图制定它是行不通的。你不能真的强行定义它。

相反,当你敞开心扉,跟随你的直觉驱动去做一件事,避免另一件事时,它就会出现在你身边。这意味着,归根结底,追求你的呼召一点也不复杂。“只是”敞开心扉,去你被吸引的地方。

从我自己的经验中可以看出,这比渴望职业更有价值。与其试图向上移动,呼召通过改变他人来帮助你朝着你感觉更好的方向前进。
