Identifying your calling can be a challenging task. In fact, some individuals may have multiple talents and require deep integration prior to appreciating the depth of their true calling in life. Whether you're looking for the perfect career, starting a business, or volunteering for a significant cause, these five signs can help you recognize when you have found your true calling.

It Resonates with Your Core Values

Your calling should align with your inner beliefs and worldview. It's something you work towards every day to create an improved version of the world. You believe that by making it so, you will make the world a better place. This is what your true calling means. It's something you would do for free, with unlimited enthusiasm, and authenticity. By doing this thing you will make the world a better place for everyone, not just yourself.

It Does Not Feel Like Work

Your calling should not feel like a slow grind. It should allow you to create the lifestyle you desire while also being sustainable enough for you to have a comfortable life. As you continually pursue your calling, the lines between work and fun start to blur.

You Are Fully Immersed

When you have found your true calling, it is easy to become fully immersed in what you are doing, and time seems to fly by. You won't be watching the clock, and you may find yourself thinking, "Where did the time go?" Your calling will absorb you, and you may even wish for more time to work. You won't have to force yourself to work when you're doing something you love and feel called to do.

Your Stress Levels Decrease

Pursuing something you love will naturally reduce cortisol and other stress hormones. When you find your true calling, you will notice an increase in your energy levels and overall well-being.

You Achieve Better Balance in Your Life

Finding balance in life is a daunting task for many. Too many live their lives trying to keep one step ahead of their commitments and mounting bills. When you have discovered your true calling, your work offers you the chance to work, live, and have fun. The lines between each overlap, and it becomes difficult to distinguish between them.

Identifying what you are meant to do can be challenging, and deciding which path to take can be a struggle. Sometimes, taking a step back and contemplating what you love to do can help you identify career paths that reflect or include that passion. Remember, you may also need to integrate creativity.

Keep in mind: Just because something does not exist yet does not mean it cannot be created!

Until next time, be well.
