Life ends not when you die, but when you stop believing in your true calling. Your true calling isn't something your friends, parents or lovers want you to become. Your true calling isn't living vicariously through someone else. And most certainly your true calling isn't working just to "make a living" and "get by".
Your true calling is that soft voice within you urging to be creative. Your true calling is your vision of a better life. Your true calling is your Creator whispering to you who you really are.
One day we will all breathe our last breath. The only difference between those of us who will live a fulfilled life in the flow of their true calling and those of us who don't is this: know that you are already dead, die to your fear and give up everything except what whispers to you in the quiet hours.
Follow your vision, do what makes you happy - it is your birthright to live in joy. But it is 100% your choice whether you do or not.
Say no to your fear. Live your true calling. Set sail and don't look back.

That soft voice is telling me to get my craft and sewing room cleaned out and organized so I can get on with the next phase of my life!!
The incremental changes I have made since I became a widow so long ago has brought me to where I am today . . . happily remarried and retired with too much time on my hands.
So much progress!! Most people would be thrilled to trade places with my life circumstances.
Finding your true calling is what I routinely refer to as following your bliss or finding your authentic self.
After a lifetime of a fulfilling career and numerous self-employment business ventures, I finally have that chance to sit back and figure out what following my bliss is all about.
I've pretty much worked all my life to be at this place in life and I honestly don't know what to do with the time, although I am overwhelmed with so much to do.
Confused? It really is pretty simple!
What needs to be done will bring me to what I have perceived my true calling is . . . being creative and making money with my imagination.
One little thing gets in the way . . . overwhelm! Too much time on my hands gives the illusion of having forever to get it done and put it off until "tomorrow" . . . procrastination, another culprit . . . they are partners in crime!
It would be so easy to just get started and do a little bit every day. But overwhelm and procrastination has taken care of that by stacking boxes in front of the closed door to the room that needs the help.
Where do the boxes go? O.M.G., I'll have to clear out another area to make room for them . . . blah, blah, blah and so on and so on!
I need a professional organizer on an extremely frugal budget!!
What amazes me is how an article can attract my attention and inspire me to write about a particular subject, but once I start writing, where it goes is comical! I've gone from true calling to overwhelm and procrastination!
This is the way my mind works . . . sometimes a bit too fast, then I get distracted! I make it so easy for myself to procrastinate . . .
Is it any wonder I have too much time on my hands?
Figuring out the goal . . . my true calling . . . has been the task we have worked on recently. That was difficult enough since the goal involved both The Captain and I. Now that is done, we are currently working toward getting there, running into my old buddy procrastination and overwhelm which is like a virtual brick wall.
Which all brings me to a recurring theme of my life and this blog . . . JUST DO IT!
LOL . . . OK . . . I'll start tomorrow!
