What is Your True Calling in Life?

Why do you occupy space here on earth? Unfortunately most people are just surviving life instead of thriving. The single biggest difference between surviving and thriving is your true calling life. Now you’re probably wondering why. Your true calling in life is the reason for your being. Simply put, your true calling is your purpose in life. It’s the only thing that will give you lasting satisfaction or a pure sense of usefulness. And whether you like it or not, the enemies of your true calling in life exist.

Here are the 7 Biggest Enemies of Your True Calling in Life:

Enemies of Your True Calling in Life

Anything really worth having will always have enemies fighting against it. And your true calling in life is not immune from attack.

1. Your Regular Job:

Your regular job as many call it, is the regular 9-to-5 job that either keeps you staring at clock or falling asleep on.

Ever wonder why highly successful people like Elon Musk and Oprah Winfrey always talk about how they work crazy hours a day yet it doesn’t feel like work to them? Clearly this statement is evidence of walking in your true calling. Unfortunately, most people including you, cannot say the same about the regular 9-to-5 job.

For 99-percent of people, the regular day job is certainly a big enemy of fulfilling their purpose in life. It drains all the energy out of you. So much that you barely even have time for yourself let alone your hopes and dreams. Are you clocking into your regular job and clocking out of your true calling? If care is not taken, your regular 9-to-5 job will steal your true calling in life.

Here’s a very useful tip for you: until you can afford to leave, keep your regular job and carve out an hour or more later for your true calling.

2. Toxic People:

Like the saying goes: you’re the average of the 5 people you spend most  of your time with. Take a look at your circle right now. Does your inner circle inspire you to fulfill your purpose in life? As far as you can, run away from people that contaminate your mind and stain your vision.

It has also been noted in the bible that iron sharpen iron. Meaning that if you must walk in your true calling, you need to be around people that uplift you.

In case you haven’t heard, misery seeks company. Toxic people are bitter because they have given up on their hopes, dreams and visions. And they will never falter until they draw you down to their level or worse. So do yourself a huge favor and avoid hanging around toxic people.

3. Toxic Environment:

Another enemy of your true calling in life is a toxic environment. A toxic environment contains all the deadly elements that kill your hopes and desire to live a purposeful life. Depending on what your purpose in life is, you may have to relocate in order to fulfill it.

Besides a very popular misconception is that a toxic environment looks nasty and stinks. Sometimes a toxic environment might be the most comfortable office you’ve ever seen. But it’s a poison to your true calling. Don’t forget that looks can be deceiving. For instance,  a science laboratory may be ideal for a scientist but destructive for a marriage and family therapist.

More so, staying too long in any environment that doesn’t support your hopes and dreams is very harmful to your existence.

Above all, no matter how many times you wash yourself, you will never feel clean if you bath with dirty water. So for you to flourish in your true calling you must be willing to transplant yourself from a toxic environment.

4. The Path of Least Resistance:

Would you rather take the easy road or the challenging road? Without a doubt, if you’re like many you will choose the easy road. However, taking the easy road places you farther away from your true calling in life.

When you take the easy road, you find yourself going wherever the wind blows you. There are no obstacles on the path of least resistance to make you recalibrate, re-strategize and re-focus.

Eventually, the frictionless road will slide you into hell. How do we define hell in this case? Hell, for instance, is waking up 20, 30, 40 years from now only to realize you wasted your life on a job that has drained and damaged you in every way possible.

Conversely, the challenging road causes you to make necessary changes that improve your self-awareness, boost your self-esteem and put you back on track with your purpose.

5. Your Self-doubt:

Self-doubt is one of most stifling enemies of your true calling in life. Not only does it force you to believe your doubts, it also encourages you to abandon your life’s calling.

Here’s a secret I want to share with you: there’s so much gold in you. And the world is really waiting for you to bring out your gold. But the choice is yours. You either have to believe in yourself and let your gold shine or doubt yourself and bury the gold in your forever. Therefore don’t let the pain, disappointments and rejections you’ve experienced in the past stop you from believing the gold you possess within.

How many times have you allowed faith to drive your actions? Indeed, you need to have enough faith in your potential to fulfill your God-given purpose in life. Constantly doubting yourself will make you change your mind and stop you from acting on your true calling.

6. Fear:

One of the most outstanding enemies of your calling in life is fear. Particularly fear of failure and fear of the unknown. Fear can freeze you and make you flee away from your the thing that gives your life a meaning.

How many missions have you failed to start because you’re afraid of  the unknowns and making mistakes? While It’s natural to feel scared don’t let the fear consume you so much that you avoid your life’s calling.

Here’s what Tony Robbins has to say about fear of failure:

“Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you may as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”

7. Complacency:

Complacency sets in when you start justifying why you do not need to put in effort. Then slowly, you begin to lose the drive you had in the first place. Eventually, this will lead to apathy. As a result, you give up on your purpose in life so soon.

Actually, complacency doesn’t happen over night. It’s a slow process that begins with you making sensing of what doesn’t really make sense. Mainly as a way to make life easy on yourself. Sometimes external factors like wrong advice can cause you to become complacent. Other times your past success or achievement can make you lose your hunger and become complacent.

Regardless of where you are in life, always dedicate yourself to your lifelong purpose to avoid being stuck with a life you regret.
