I think the age old question is "What am I supposed to do with my life?" Well, some people just know immediately while others have to go through a journey to discover their purpose. We each have a calling and sometimes you just need to listen to those around you to discover what it is.
I have helped dozens of people launch their business and I've heard so many times the question, "What is it I am good at?". I usually say just listen and your clients, friends, family, colleagues will tell you. Our business direction changed several times based on what our clients were telling us that they found most beneficial.
Secondly, by communicating what it is that you do and having a clear delivery, people will respond positively or negatively. I never once considered myself a "writer" yet I've been told numerous times that my blogs or topics I've written on have been helpful. Perhaps my calling is to share my experiences with others so that they too can learn and move forward.
A lot of people define success by what car you drive or by the size of home you live in and while that's all great it isn't necessarily the best measure of true success.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being prosperous and it is our God given right to do so. I think the area where things get fuzzy is that having money makes you happy. I have friends whose families say that if you aren't making a certain income or living a particular standard of life, that you are not successful and I would beg to differ. I also have friends who, on paper, have it all and are the most miserable.
If you are content in what you do, find passion in your endeavors and seek to give before you receive, you are prosperous. Do what you love and the money will follow. Money alone does not buy happiness and I think if you ever doubt that, look to Hollywood.
Many celebrities have all the finances in the world but can't seem to fill that void. That "void" will never be filled by money or material things alone. True joy comes from a heart of giving and following your calling.
One last thing I'd like to share. Sometimes following your "calling" can be scary but the rewards can far outweigh the risks.
Be blessed,
