How to find your calling 2014-04-15T23:34:03+00:00 Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

Elise Amyx of the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics on finding your calling:
One piece of advice I wish I heard in college is that your calling is not something you discover, it is something you recognize.
Your calling is always present. It’s not something you find under a rock or something that falls from the sky onto your lap. Instead, it shows itself, being revealed after prayer, reflection and input from trusted friends and relatives.
She even has a practical method of exploring this more deeply:
Here’s what you need:
One hour.
A close friend or family member.
Paper and something to with which to write.
