Higher Calling
I have often asked these questions to myself -
What is the higher calling of my life?
What is that one thing which I would love to do?
Which passion can be converted into a full time job?
But conveniently forgotten about them time and again as I had no time to seriously ponder over them or there were other things which seemed more important. There have been innumerable discussions, brainstorming sessionswith my friends/colleagues who have shared the same views and its hard to believe that everyone is on the same boat when it comes down to having clarity or vision of our future.
However, I have all the time to myself now to think of the various options that I can possibly consider. The ones that top my mind are:
1. Get back to my hobbies. Painting will top the list.
2. Join an NGO. At the back of my mind I have always wanted to give back to the society. But I dont know whether I'm selfless enough for such a cause.
3. Think of alternate profession. Maybe a boutique, restaurant, art shop...
I have been reading the book 'Stay Hungry Stay Foolish' and its good to know how people have started with a strong vision of what they wanted in life and could attain it with sheer hardwork and perseverence. Its all the more important if you realize it early. I can see the time flying by but I'm as clueless as ever.
Just hoping that this time I somehow manage to turnaround things and discover my Higher Calling!
