Calling Stops Calling

I’m not going to lie. I have been doing some extraordinary work lately. I mean, I am so dialed in, I feel so alive. For the most part, I have always done pretty good work. But I do great work when needed. Here lately, it feels like a calling. And that got me thinking. What happens when the calling stops calling?

My entire life I have worked in the helping profession. And closing in on 4 decades of mental health work, my outlook has changed. Yes, I have become desensitized. Yes, I have become cynical. And yes, I know the majority of people I come in contact with, will only have a brief respite, and then fall back into old familiar ways. But it feels different lately…

But what happens when the calling stops calling? I meditated on this. And the answer is, to pour completely into self. I have been burning the candle on both ends for years. I enjoy what I do. But I don’t see my calling, calling it quits any time soon. So, until that day comes, I will continue the course. The added benefit is, having a wife who understands that life is not all about us. That a life of service, is the price of admission for the human experience.

So, let’s go change some lives. Let’s go make history. Because the calling is still calling.
