Career Or Calling

If you are drawn towards self improvement books and articles like I am, you would have read somewhere that it is infinitely better for your soul to have a calling rather than a soul-sucking career.

For a lucky few, their career is their life’s calling. These are the happy, content souls that derive immense satisfaction from their day jobs.

My career, mind you, has not exactly been soul-sucking, but neither has it been the impetus for my soul’s abiding bliss — which has bothered me and has often led me to wonder; in my pensive moods; what is my calling, my purpose, my reason for this earthly existence. If my career is not filling that void, what would?

And the answer to that has always been elusive, until recently.

If saints and sages are to believed, every soul born on earth, is here purposefully — with a pre-agreed list of to-dos which it must experience if it is to elevate itself on to a higher, better plane of being. So basically all souls come to this earthly plane hoping for an upgrade after they leave. The souls that find their purpose on this earth and act on it, are apparently well on the way to this upgrade, the rest of us struggle to find and meet the conditions that will improve our chances for an astral upgrade. We keep looking, searching for that purpose that can be our calling, our souls salvation.
