Finding Your Life Calling

I have found that as ‘trends’ shift, so do the type of questions asked by clients during psychic readings. For example, lately many people have been asking about their life calling, and what they need to do to get there?

More people these days seem to feel they have not yet found their real ‘niche’ in life, whatever their age may be. I have been consulting especially with young people, in the final years of their studies, who call because they feel agitated about not having yet identified the direction of their career. I offer them guidance and suggestions, based on what vocations are given to me in their reading.

Sometimes though, it can simply be part of their life path to pursue various things before they are able to identify their calling. This I personally understand, because as much as I always felt the strong calling to work for Spirit, doing healing and readings, I now realize that everything else I ever did in-between, has given me a synergy of experience. This even includes my former ‘career’ as an alcoholic! Such experience has helped me to understand just what others might be going through.

I also know that no study or pursuit is ever wasted in relation to bringing us life lessons. Such life lessons propel us towards our spiritual growth. For example, someone who has come from a dysfunctional family environment, experienced addiction, or harsh treatment from others, will have a deeper knowledge of how it feels, should they choose to go into counseling or healing as a profession, for example.

We can also get tied up in the desires of what others think we should be doing with our future. A typical example was a 26 year old doctor who came to my office for a reading a few years ago. He was such a gentle soul. He had come to me through a referral, and I had already been told what a dedicated, kind medical practitioner he had become in his young years. I complimented him on his achievements so early in life. He simply said, “I hate what I do. My parents wanted me to become a doctor, and so I did.”

Then the bombshell came when he said, “I want to do the sort of work that you are doing with your readings and healing work.” My heart went out to him. He was living someone else’s dream for him. Our true vocation should be something which absolutely fires us up daily. We can be a big inspiration to others when we are on purpose too. Nothing leads like example. Our vibrancy has a ripple effect!

A client will look to me as a psychic for some insight into what their true life calling is, and yes, often I can guide them to a certain extent with insight received from the reading. When a person calls with such a question, they are finding it hard to follow their own compass. They often feel themselves pulled away by the current of life, as well as by other people and their needs. Ultimately though, they will feel restless, because their soul will not give up on calling them to get back into the flow of the current towards their own life calling.

I often suggest to clients that they take time to sit quietly and alone, and in a peaceful state of mind, to listen to their heart and even to their body’s reaction to questions like: who am I, and where will I find true fulfillment in my vocation?

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not a goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in striving toward an important goal ~ Maxwell Maltz

Our intuition and feelings are linked to the heart, not to the fear in our heads. Such fear can keep us ‘stuck’ indefinitely. Our logical side can assist us to be sensible and to not suddenly abandon our source of income, whilst we still hold that vision of creating our sacred niche in the material world. This can entail building up a business little by little, part-time, or on embarking on certain studies required to fulfill a different calling or career path.

Be true to yourself and expand your thinking. Expect that you will be doing something you love ‘sooner than later.’  And, as the late Louise Hay insisted, “What you love to do, you do well, and what you do well, will earn you money.”
