What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

~ Julia Cameron (among others)

Oh, really? Do you really think so?

That's so easy to say for people who are living their dreams.

But, what about the laborers and all the little people who are doing mundane jobs? Is that their calling? No, your calling isn't necessarily about a career. If it were, there would be noone left to do the ordinary jobs.

There is SOME truth to it. But, of course, it's not that simple.

Money may come your way, enough to scrape by that is. Doors may open, but not necessarily doors that seem all that wonderful. That doesn't mean they aren't what's right for us. Wonderful things aren't necessarily wonderful in an obvious way.

For most people, the job is just pleasant enough, nothing exciting. It's just ok. But, it becomes more pleasant and playful because we are happy and at peace otherwise and, therefore, can relax and enjoy even the simple things.

Unfortunately, most of us don't know our 'purpose/calling'. We may well already be living it. We just don't recognize it as being a purpose or calling.
